Puerarin, known as "Jiangnan Ginseng", is a green food with nutrition, medicine and food. Its discovery has an interesting story.

According to legend, Ge Hong, a famous Taoist theorist, doctor and health care doctor in China, led his disciples Renshan and Leshui to travel around the world, looking for an alchemist in the blessed land of Xianshan. One day, when he came to Maoshan, he saw mountains and green hills all around, and the air was filled with clouds. So Ge Hong chose Baopufeng as the place to build an alchemist and clear the way.

The blast furnace was full of smoke and purple smoke all day, and two disciples developed symptoms such as bad breath, toothache, constipation and rash. Is there any way to remove erysipelas? Ge Hong used many herbs, but the effect was not satisfactory. One night, Ge Hong dreamed that the founder of Sanqing came to his eyes and pointed out the maze for him: "The mountain is covered with a kind of green vine. Its roots are like Bai Ru, and its residue is like hemp. The white liquid squeezed out is refreshing and slightly sweet. It can not only clear away heat and toxic materials, but also dispel dryness and eliminate rash. You might as well cook it to satisfy your hunger. "

The next day, Ge Hong, led by a woodcutter, went to a place where vines were climbing and leaves were pressing the ground like a green carpet. Ge Hong found a soft loess slope and dug up a big vine root with a thick bowl and plate.

After returning home, Ge Hong sliced the roots of the green vine, smashed them with a hammer, squeezed out white pulp, cooked them and gave them to two disciples. As soon as the pulp was finished, the two disciples felt that their hot bodies gradually calmed down, and in a few days, both disciples were all well. The news that ivy can detoxify and cure diseases spread from one word to another. People followed Ge Hong's instructions, dug the roots of ivy to detoxify, ate them to satisfy their hunger, and collected a large number of seeds for reproduction. For a time, ivy spread all over the country. At that time, people didn't know the name of this ivy, because Ge Hong cured the plague with pueraria lobata. In memory of him, people named this ivy tree after his surname, so it was named "Ge", and the root of Ge was called "Ge".
