According to legend, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin went out hunting and was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, and his condition was very serious. The imperial doctor used many valuable medicinal materials, but they were ineffective, so they had to open a list to recruit talents: "Whoever can cure the emperor's disease will be rewarded." "The folk doctor Xu Changqing saw the list and entered the palace to treat the emperor.
Xu Changqing took 3 taels of the "snake dysentery grass" he picked and fried it, let Li Shimin take it twice a day, and used the rest of the medicinal liquid for external washing. The next day, Li Shimin's condition improved, and after taking it for another 3 days, the symptoms completely disappeared. Li Shimin said happily: "Sir is worthy of his name, sure enough, the medicine is cured, but I don't know what medicine to use?" Xu Changqing hurriedly knelt down when he heard this, unable to answer.
It turned out that after Li Shimin was bitten by a snake, he issued a holy decree that anyone with the word "snake" must be taboo, and anyone who said anything with the word "snake" would be punished. In a hurry, Wei Zheng, the prime minister on the side, moved and quickly relieved him and said, "Mr. Xu, doesn't this herb have a name yet?" Xu Changqing said busily: "Long live Yu, this medicine was born in the mountains and wilderness, and there is no name yet, please ask the emperor to give it a name." The emperor said without hesitation: "It was Mr. Xu who cured Xu's disease with this herb, which is not well known, so let's name it after you, so that future generations will not forget." "Emperor Chrysostom said, saying one thing or two, so that one spread ten, ten spread a hundred, the name of the Chinese herbal medicine Xu Changqing also spread, and has been used to this day.
