Wuzi refers to the five traditional Chinese medicines of dodder, schisandra, wolfberry, raspberry and plantain. Wuzi Yanzong Pill comes from "Introduction to Medicine" written by Li Zhen, a physician in the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the "Principles of Syndrome and Treatment" written by the physician Wang Kentang was also included. Wang Kentang said: "Dinghai of Jiajing got it from Zheng Zhonghan's house in Guangxin. The medicine stops the five flavors, hence the name." Yan means widespread distribution and constant flow. The five herbs in this prescription all have the word "子", which means "using Zi to supplement Zi".
According to legend, the Wuzi Yanzong Pill prescription originated in the Tang Dynasty and was first recorded in the Taoist book "Xuan Jie Lu". The book records that the holy prescription "Shouxian Wuzi Pill" presented by Zhang Guo to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was the predecessor of the Wuzi Yanzong Pill prescription.
As early as the Tang Dynasty, the Wuzi Yanzong Pill prescription was highly praised by doctors of all ages. It is known as "the first seed prescription in ancient and modern times" and "the ancestor of Yang-tonifying prescriptions". It is known as "five seeds strengthen yang and six flavors nourish yin". Liuwei refers to Liuwei Dihuang Decoction. The prescription contains epimedium, Morinda officinalis, Eucommia ulmoides and Curculigo, which warm the body and dispel cold; Rehmannia glutinosa and Chinese yam have the meaning of "seeking yang from the yin".
