Legend has it that after Qin Shi Huang unified the seven kingdoms, he began to pacify the Baiyue land in the south of Lingnan region. In 219 B.C., Emperor Qin Shi Huang appointed "Tu Suo" as the main general and "Zhao Tuo" as the deputy general to lead an army of 500,000 to pacify Lingnan, and the army advanced to the area around Lingnan. As Lingnan belonged to the East Asian monsoon climate zone, with tropical and subtropical monsoon oceanic climate characteristics, the soldiers in the Central Plains were not adapted to the humid climate in the south, and they were sick, and the fighting strength of the army was greatly reduced, and they lost many battles.

Just when the generals are at their wits' end, the doctor with the army developed a dual-use porridge, with lotus seed, lily of the valley, salvia, Tsesi, bamboo, Huaishan, Job's tear grains as raw materials, processed into a slurry after eating. After taking it, people felt calm and energetic, and the army fought bravely again. Zhao Tuo said with emotion, eat it to clear the heat, replenish the vital energy, this thing can be called the clear tonic cool also.

In order to ensure combat effectiveness, Zhao Tuo ordered his men to eat a bowl of Qingnianliang every morning. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo raised an army and annexed Guilin County and Xiang County, establishing the state of South Vietnam in the southern part of the country, calling himself "King of South Vietnam". He established his capital at Panyu, i.e. present-day Guangzhou City. He reigned for 66 years, and was a true "longevity".
