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

Sanqi (Tianqi)

Name origin

In Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, the southwest border, Zhuang and Miao people have different living habits: Zhuang people live in Shuitou and Miao people live in the hills. The ancestors of Miao people who live in the mountains are good at hunting. Traumatic bleeding is inevitable in hunting. They chewed up a kind of weeds and applied them to the traumatic 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 was recorded as "Sanqi" in the circulation. Notoginseng has been used as a medicine for thousands of years.

1436 In the Materia Medica of Southern Yunnan written by the famous Yunnan doctor Lan Mao, there has been a record of "soil pseudo-ginseng". There are both "soil pseudo-ginseng" and of course "pseudo-ginseng". 1578, Li Shizhen's masterpiece Compendium of Materia Medica recorded the drug "Sanqi" for the first time, and wrote: "He said that his leaves are left three and right four, so he was named Sanqi, but I am afraid it is not. Another cloud: the real name of mountain lacquer means that it can alloy sores, such as lacquer. This is known, gold is not exchanged, and it is also valuable. " Thus, Li Shizhen affirmed the name "Sanqi" from two aspects: plants and functions.

Because Tianzhou Prefecture in Guangxi was once 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 of fallen servants.
