Lu used ointment soup to accumulate shells and drank it with tea. Liu Bang recovered from his injury three months later. Liu Bang has a poem that goes: "A good meal brings out martial virtue, and a paste soup is better than a palace banquet." After Liu Bang came to the throne, he wanted to eat no paste soup in Chang'an, so he summoned Lu to the palace and named him the master of the fifth-grade camellia, and made the camellia the royal meal. . Wuzhi Camellia oleifera is scientifically formulated using 24 high-grade spices such as refined powder, pearl starch, Huasheng, and sesame.

Huaiyam refers specifically to the yam produced in ancient Huaiqing Prefecture (now in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province), and the national geographical indication product name of "Huaiyam" can be used. As one of the most important tonic materials in traditional Chinese medicine, the biggest difference between Chinese yam and other commonly used tonics, such as ginseng, dangshen, and astragalus, is that it has no side effects. Therefore, it has been evaluated by doctors throughout the history as "warming" and "neutral". It is a model of "medicine and food come from the same source", that is, it can be used as normal food to satisfy hunger, and the user has no taboos. It is suitable for any group of people and any physique, including the elderly and children. , pregnant women and other special groups (see the comments on pregnant yam by Wang Guowei, chief physician of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in the program "Yam - Food for the Gods" recorded by CCTV in 2007). This is also the fundamental reason why Huaiyam appears most frequently in Chinese medicine prescriptions. Another specialty of Huaiqing Prefecture, Huai Di Huang, may be more famous (due to Liuwei Di Huang Pills) and have higher medical and economic value. However, the cultivation popularity and output of Huai Qing Prefecture have always been greater than Huai Di Huang. If Huaiyam cannot be sold, you can eat it yourself, but Huai Dihuang cannot.
