Origin of Albizia Julibrissin:

There is a beautiful story in ancient times: In a village under Mount Tai in ancient times, a member of the imperial family was happy to give birth to a daughter, named Huanxi. She was extremely beautiful when she grew up. One day she went to Nanshan to burn incense. When she came back, she suddenly fell ill and couldn't make rice. Even the famous doctor failed to cure her. The minister had no choice but to post a list to recruit wise men to treat the girl. There happened to be a poor scholar who was proficient in medical skills and wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam, but he was penniless. After seeing the list, he wanted to treat the girl so that he could get some money to pay for the trip to Beijing. It was also a coincidence. It turned out that the young lady had met this scholar when she was offering incense. She fell in love with him at first sight, but she only buried it in her heart. Over time, she became "lovesick". Now when she saw the scholar, her illness was mostly cured. After the scholar diagnosed her, she thought it was lovesickness, so she used I gave the young lady a drink of decoction made from flowers called "Sentimental Tree" on the mountain. Within two days, all her illnesses were cured. Later, the scholar won the exam and the two got married. People called the tree "Albizia Julibrissin" and its flowers "Albizia Julibrissin". There are many records in the Materia Medica of the past dynasties
