According to an ancient Japanese legend, the word "Huaishi" comes from the "Wenshi" of a Zen monk. At that time, the precept that Zen monks in practice had to follow was to eat only breakfast and lunch, and not to eat in the afternoon. However, young monks couldn't bear hunger and cold, so they wrapped the heated stone in rags and called it "Wenshi", put it in their arms and pressed it against their stomachs to resist hunger and cold. Later, it gradually developed into eating less, which played the role of "warming stone" to prevent hunger and cold. For details, you can visit the Japanese cuisine website.
