According to investigations, the origin of Guiling Gao is in Wuzhou, which was called Cangwu County in ancient times. During the Three Kingdoms period, Emperor Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty was newly mourned. The natives in the southern counties took the opportunity to rebel, and Zhuge Liang personally went out to quell the rebellion. This is probably the story of "The Seven Captures of Meng Huo" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is said that Zhuge Liang garrisoned troops in Cangwu County during the southern expedition. At that time, most of the soldiers were from the north. When they first arrived in the south, they were not accustomed to the climate and the soil. Most of the soldiers had vomiting and diarrhea, which seriously affected their combat effectiveness. Zhuge Liang was very anxious and hurriedly found the locals to ask what happened. The locals said that the climate in Wuzhou was hot and humid and foggy (called miasma in ancient times), so they offered a wonderful recipe, which was to make a soup with local specialties turtle and earthworm. Zhuge Liang ordered the soldiers to try it, and it was indeed effective, and most of the soldiers recovered. This allusion is not recorded in official history and must be a fabrication. However, it is true that Wuzhou has a hot, humid and foggy climate, it is true that Guiling paste is Wuzhou’s traditional folk medicine, and it is true that Wuzhou is the origin of Guiling paste. As early as the 1940s, Wuzhou had been producing and operating Guiling paste.
Guiling jelly mainly uses eagle-billed turtle and soil fuling as the main raw materials. The eagle-billed turtle is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine, which can clear away heat and detoxify; the soil fuling can remove dampness. In addition to these two main medicines, rehmannia glutinosa, dandelion, silver flower and other medicines are added to enhance the effect. Guiling ointment has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, removing toxins and promoting muscle growth, nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys, and protecting the skin. It has a mild character, neither cold nor dry, and is suitable for both men and women, old and young. But some information says that the real Guiling paste should be made from golden turtles, and only the ventral plate in front of the chest and abdomen of the turtle is used, because it is softer and contains a lot of colloid, so it is easy to boil it into a paste. Old turtle shells are the best, as they can nourish yin and subdue yang, and eliminate bone heat, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. caused by deficiency fire. I don’t know which statement is authentic. Anyway, Guiling jelly can clear away heat, remove dampness, nourish yin and nourish the skin. No wonder all the women in Wuzhou have white, tender and pretty skin.
The Guiling paste that Wuzhou people really like is not the kind that comes in cans, but the Guiling paste shop on the street. The one on Wenhua Road has a small, delicate bowl with a small spoon. You can put a small piece on the spoon, and then the store will ask you: "Would you like to add honey or milk?" The milk is equally tender, smooth and refreshing, and melts in the mouth. It is completely different from the canned Guiling paste that was “developed” later.
According to research, Guiling jelly was developed by Zhizhonghe (founded in 1763), a century-old herbal health expert. It can promote metabolism, clear away heat and reduce fire, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, and can also beautify and nourish the skin. Yin nourishes the kidneys. Eating it can also play a certain role in improving diseases such as sore throat, hemorrhoids, prickly heat and constipation. Modern nutritional research has found that Guiling paste contains a variety of active polysaccharides and amino acids, has the characteristics of low calories, low fat, and low cholesterol, and can regulate blood lipids and blood sugar.
