According to legend, after Qin Shihuang unified the seven countries, he began to pacify the land of Baiyue in Lingnan area. In 219 BC, Qin Shihuang appointed "Tu Sui" as the main commander and "Zhao Tuo" as the deputy commander to lead 5, troops to pacify Lingnan, and the army advanced to Lingnan area. Because Lingnan belongs to the East Asian monsoon climate zone, with tropical and subtropical monsoon maritime climate characteristics, the soldiers of the Central Plains did not adapt to the humid climate in the south, and they got sick one after another, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and they were defeated repeatedly.

Just when the soldiers were at a loss, the army doctor developed a kind of porridge with dual functions of medicine and food. Lotus seeds, lilies, Adenophora adenophora, Cishi, Polygonatum odoratum, Dioscorea opposita and Coicis Semen were used as raw materials, which were processed into paste to eat. After taking it, people feel calm and energetic, and the army is brave in fighting again. Zhao Tuo said with emotion, food can clear the heat, replenish the vitality, and it can be called clearing and cooling.

In order to ensure combat effectiveness, Zhao Tuo ordered his men to eat a bowl of refreshing food every morning. After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo rose up and annexed Guilin County and Xiangjun County, and established Nanyue Kingdom in Lingnan area, calling itself the "King of Nanyue". Panyu, its capital, is now Guangzhou. He has been in office for 66 years and is a veritable "longevity Weng".
