The ginseng is from “Ben Cao Xin”: Although the ginseng is very thin like ginseng, it is short, tight and firm, and has a reed pattern, its strength is no less than that of the great ginseng. It is a clear tonic among the qi tonic, with mild and stable medicinal properties, especially for infants and children, so it is also called “child ginseng” or “child ginseng”. There is also an interesting story about the name of prince ginseng. According to legend, Li Shizhen, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner in Ming Dynasty, traveled to Nanjing day and night to write the “Compendium of Materia Medica”, and stayed in an inn after arriving in Nanjing. When it was late at night, Li Shizhen suddenly heard a woman moaning and asked the shopkeeper, “Who is moaning next door?” The shopkeeper replied, “It’s the bitch, she’s been sick for a few days.” Li Shizhen asked again, “If you are sick, why don’t you go to the doctor?” The shopkeeper explained. The shopkeeper explained: “Sir, you do not know, although we have a store here, but the money earned is not enough to cover the expenses of the family, usually, are to borrow money to live, and now there is no more borrowing!” Li Shizhen listened with great sympathy, so he got up with the shopkeeper into the inner room for his wife to see the doctor. While taking her pulse, Li Shizhen asked, “How has she been eating lately?” The shopkeeper said, “My family has no rice for several days, she can only eat some dried potatoes, and others rely on the wild vegetable roots dug by the children to feed.” After hearing this, Li Shizhen went out, picked up the wild vegetable roots and looked at them carefully, and took one of them, put it into his mouth and chewed it, then said to the shopkeeper: “This is a medicine to cure your wife’s disease, where did you dig it up?” The shopkeeper said, “Outside the city on the purple mountain!” Li Shizhen casually took out a silver ingot and put it on the table and said, “Go buy some rice after dawn, and first decoct this medicine for your wife to take, she will be well after taking it.” The shopkeeper knelt down on both knees and thanked him repeatedly. The next day, the shopkeeper’s wife took the medicine and was really well. The shopkeeper took Li Shizhen to the tomb of Prince Yiwen, the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang in Zijinshan Mountain, and saw that the grass was green and the herbs were everywhere. Li Shizhen said repeatedly, “Excellent! Excellent!” Li Shizhen, like a treasure, quickly dug a quart to bring back. Because this herb grows around the grave of Prince Yi Wen, the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shizhen named it Prince Ginseng. In order to avoid excessive picking and disrespect to Zhu Yuanzhang and his eldest son, Li Shizhen did not include this medicine in the Compendium of Materia Medica.
