Lycium barbarum is a symbol of the evergreen tree of life. In the eyes of the ancients, Lycium barbarum is a good product for strengthening the body and prolonging life. This understanding of the ancients also stems from the long-term accumulation, practice and summary of the health care function, pharmacological function and history and culture of Lycium barbarum. According to Shennong's Materia Medica, Lycium barbarum is "life-nourishing, non-toxic, and it won't hurt people if taken for a long time." If you want to keep fit, benefit qi and nourish yin, you must take Lycium barbarum regularly.
Lycium barbarum is a famous and commonly used Chinese medicine, named after Taoism. "Compendium of Materia Medica" said: "Taoist books say that Lycium barbarum is a thousand years old and looks like a dog (dog), hence the name." Due to the special pharmacological effects of Lycium barbarum, Taoism regards it as an elixir of life, calling it "the staff of immortals" and "the staff of immortals". There is also a legend that a dog becomes Lycium barbarum when it is buried underground. In The Fairy Tale, a young man saw two dogs in the bushes. When he chased them, they disappeared under the wolfberry tree. He dug up the soil and found that the roots of Lycium barbarum were very similar to those of dogs. He cooked the roots of Lycium barbarum and ate them, and he became immortal.
According to records, Lycium barbarum has many aliases, such as Tianjing, Xian Di, Quelao, Queju, Ren Xian Staff, Queen Mother Staff and Ming Mu Zi. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Lycium barbarum leaves are picked in spring and are famous for their herbal essence; Picking flowers in summer is called long grass; Picking in autumn, named Lycium barbarum; Collecting roots in winter is called bone skin. " Picking its tender leaves in spring for cooking, it is known as "fried fine buds in oil". This dish in a Dream of Red Mansions at Jia's banquet tastes cool and delicious. "Materia Medica Yan Hui" holds that Lycium barbarum can make "invigorating qi, enriching blood, giving birth to Yang Can, nourishing yin and removing rheumatism, which is perfect."
As early as more than 2,000 years ago, there was a saying in The Book of Songs Xiaoya: "I am interested in Beishan, and I use my words to receive my breath." Mr. Wu Shugan and Mr. Lai Changyang translated these two sentences into modern language: "I went to Beishan to pick Chinese wolfberry." It can be seen that Lycium barbarum has a long history of growth and consumption.
The old stems and roots of Lycium barbarum are dog-shaped. According to folklore, when Song Huizong was building a city in Zhou Shun, he dug up an old wolfberry, just like a big dog. People said it was a treasure and presented it to the palace. The ancient book says: "This is the so-called chitose Lycium barbarum, which looks like a dog." Before the Song Dynasty, this dog-shaped wolfberry was also common. In the poems of the Tang Dynasty poets pretending to be relaxed, there is such a sentence: "I don't know that the elixir takes root as a dog, and the dog barks at night." Su Dongpo and Huang called Lycium barbarum "Xianmiao" and "Xiancao" in their poems. "Huainan Pillow" in Han Dynasty records: a fairy prescription for nourishing the spirit and prolonging life.
There are also stories about eating Lycium barbarum and living longer in modern times. Li Qingyun, a 250-year-old Sichuanese (died in 19 19), recorded in Chinese and foreign books: At the age of 50, I went into the mountains to collect herbs and met an old man who seemed isolated from the world. He walks like a fly in the mountains and rocks, and I can't catch up with him when I run at full speed. Later, when I met him again, I knelt down and asked him for advice. The old man took out some wild fruits for me and said, "That's what I often eat." Look, it's Lycium barbarum. Since then, I have been eating San Qian for a long time. I am light and healthy. Walking a hundred miles is not tiring, and the strength is stronger than ordinary people.
In the 1970s, when President Mao Zedong met with the ambassadors of Southeast Asian countries, the gift he presented was Lycium barbarum in Nuomuhong, Qinghai.
