Li Dongjie, a good minister of the Song Dynasty, was known for his upright temperament, honesty and kindness to the people. One summer, the county suffered a severe drought, which greatly reduced the yield of farmland and increased the number of begging refugees. Li Dongjie was so anxious that he wrote to the imperial court to reduce or reduce taxes while opening a warehouse to release grain to help the victims.
After surviving the summer, and in the winter, when there was a heavy snowstorm, the people's lives were once again in trouble, and people continued to starve and freeze to death. In order to reduce the occurrence of tragedies, Li Dongjie personally led officials at all levels to deliver grain and firewood to every household in every village. This winter, Li Dongjie ate every day, climbed over the mountains, pedaled in the snow and waded in the water, and finally induced the original rheumatic bone disease due to fatigue and hunger.
On the way to deliver grain, he suddenly had unbearable pain in his legs and could not walk straight, when an old medicine farmer came forward and said, "The legs of adults are for our poor people." The old man has been collecting medicine in this mountain for generations, and he knows that there is a medicine that may treat the leg disease of adults, so he may wish to give it a try. ”
After speaking, he took a handful of herbs out of the back basket and fried water for Lord Li to drink. After a few days, Mr. Li's leg pain really eased a lot, his knees were straightened, and he could get out of bed and walk. Li Dongjie took the name of this herb. The old medicine farmer said: "The locals call it 'Bobcat'. Li Dongjie felt that it was not good, and in order to explain the medicinal properties, he named it "stretching grass".
