January 27 is the birthday of Qin Shi Huang, who was born in the first month of the forty-eighth year of Qin Zhao. Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng was an outstanding statesman, strategist, and reformer in ancient China. He was the political figure who completed the unification of China for the first time and was also the first monarch in China to call himself emperor. Qin Shihuang spent his whole life looking for a way to live longer.

When Qin Shihuang was young, he met a female herb collector named Afang. Afang’s father and brother both made a living by collecting herbs. Afang has been exposed to it since she was a child and knows a lot about Chinese herbal medicine. She recommended to Qin Shihuang a kind of fairy grass called "Purple Yinga Immortal Strain", which can enhance people's physical fitness, prolong life, and also has the effect of reviving the dead. After unifying the six kingdoms, Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to search for this kind of fairy grass. In fact, the Purple Yinga Immortal plant is Dendrobium officinale. "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" records that Dendrobium officinale is "mainly responsible for injuries, removing paralysis, lowering Qi, replenishing the five internal organs for fatigue, emaciation, strengthening yin, and long-term use to strengthen the intestines and stomach." Dendrobium officinale is a tonic plant: beneficial to the stomach and promoting fluid production, nourishing yin and clearing away heat. It was praised by the ancients as the first of the nine immortal grasses. In recent years, due to people's increasing emphasis on physical health, using Dendrobium officinale for health care has become a trend and has become a popular health product. The flowers of Dendrobium are elegant, exquisite and lovely, with bright colors and fragrant smell. It is known as one of the "four major ornamental flowers" and is considered to be "strong, loyal and amiable". Every year on Father's Day, I give Dendrobium to my father. Known as the "Father's Day Flower".
