One legend is that ...

The name of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb has a long history. It is said that a long time ago, two people, an old man and a young man, went to the mountains to collect medicine. I haven't seen anyone for many days, and suddenly one day, a man stood in front of them! A man! A man with waist-length black hair and a chest-length black beard! A man with red face and bright eyes! Suddenly, an old man and a young man were frightened! The old man shivered and asked, who are you? Is it a person? A ghost? Or a god? The other party asked vaguely: You, what do you do? You're not arresting Ding, are you? This question, an old man and a young man asked blankly, why catch Ding? Catch what Ding? It's good not to catch Ding, the man bowed his head and said to himself. He looked up and asked, did Qin Shihuang still catch Ding? The old man was even more shocked. What is Qin Shihuang? It has been three years since Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty. Later, after careful inquiry, I learned that this man fled to the mountains to avoid the Qin Dynasty and never went out again. He doesn't know the changes in the world in the past hundred years. Ask them what they eat, referring to a very long vine, saying that they eat their vines in spring, summer and autumn, and eat the fruits in the soil in winter. Ask his name, unknown. When the old man saw that everyone in the world ate it, it was dark and shiny, so he named it Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, which was later misinformed as Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.

Sanqi (Tianqi)

Name source

In Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, which borders on the southwest, Zhuang and Miao people have different living habits: Zhuang people live in Shuitou and Miao people live in the hills. Miao ancestors living in mountainous areas are good at hunting. Traumatic bleeding is inevitable in hunting. They chewed up a weed and applied it to the bleeding place. The wound was sealed like paint and the bleeding stopped. Miao ancestors called this weed "Mountain lacquer".

This magical herb has been handed down from generation to generation among the people. Because "Mountain lacquer" is homophonic with "Sanqi", it is recorded as "Sanqi" in circulation. Sanqi has been used as medicine for thousands of years.

From 65438 to 0436, there was a record of "Radix Notoginseng" in Herbal Medicine of Southern Yunnan written by Mao Lan, a famous doctor in Yunnan. There are both "soil Sanqi" and of course "Sanqi". 1578, Li Shizhen's magnum opus Compendium of Materia Medica recorded the drug "Sanqi" for the first time, and wrote: "People say that its leaves are left three and right four, so it was named Sanqi. I'm afraid not. Another cloud: the original name of mountain lacquer means that it can alloy sores, such as lacquer. This is known. Gold is not exchangeable and valuable. " Therefore, Li Shizhen affirmed the name "Sanqi" from two aspects of plants and functions.

Because Tianzhou Prefecture in Guangxi used to be the distribution center of Sanqi in history, Sanqi is also called Tianqi.

Sanqi has the effects of removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, reducing swelling and relieving pain. Indications: hemoptysis, hematemesis, epistaxis, hematochezia, metrorrhagia, traumatic hemorrhage, chest and abdomen tingling, and swelling and pain caused by falling down.
