■ story

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a doctor named david lee, who had excellent medical skills and was especially good at treating insomnia or drowsiness. Every day, people come to see him in an endless stream. This worried a doctor named Cui Niupi.

Cui Niupi wanted to know David Lee's secret recipe, so he asked his men to pretend to be sick and find out. When this man came to Yiguang, david lee, he saw many patients coming to see a doctor, so he went to befriend them and asked about their illness and the drugs they used. It turns out that everyone uses the same medicine, all of which are Ziziphus jujuba seeds. This guy is very excited. Go back and tell Cui Niupi.

Cui Niupi was very happy after learning about it, and publicized it, claiming that his secret recipe was specially used to treat insomnia and lethargy, and the top 20 patients who came to see a doctor every day could give medicine free of charge. Sure enough, with this publicity, more patients came to see a doctor and get medicine.

However, a few days later, many people gathered outside Cui Niu's clothes, and one of them growled at him: "You quack, liar, I used to be able to barely sleep, but I couldn't sleep after taking your medicine!" In the next few days, people kept coming to find trouble.

Cui Niupi had no choice but to sue David Lee, saying that he was jealous of his good business and deliberately invited people to make trouble. In court, David Lee complained, but couldn't find any evidence to prove his innocence, so he suggested that both sides write the principle of Ziziphus jujuba seed in treating insomnia and lethargy. In a short time, two people finished writing. After reading it, the adults decided that David Lee was innocent and Cui Niupi closed down.

Originally, Cui cowhide wrote "Ziziphus jujuba seed can cure insomnia and lethargy", while David Lee wrote: Ziziphus jujuba seed can restrain semen after cooking, so it can cure insomnia, polydipsia and hyperhidrosis; Life leads to deficiency heat, so treat gallbladder heat, good sleep, drowsiness and fatigue.
