Magic medicine
Speaking of this Ganoderma lucidum, it has its own mystery, especially in martial arts (Xianxia) novels, Ganoderma lucidum is simply a panacea. The only thing that can compete with Ganoderma lucidum is ginseng. If we have to add a time limit to these two panaceas, it must be "Millennium"!
In martial arts novels, there are two ways to deal with which soldier is injured. One is the internal master's pass, and the injured person is alive and kicking every minute. The other is to use ginseng or ganoderma lucidum to prolong life. If he is lucky enough to find a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, he can not only prolong life, but also prolong life. In "Eight Dragons", after A Zi was injured, Qiao Feng took her all over the world to find a famous doctor, dragging her along with ginseng; In "the legendary swordsman", there is Ganoderma lucidum in the eight pills of "Shen Yao" developed by immortals. Ling Huchong was very angry and wanted to drink his blood after taking the elixir by mistake. Gu Long is even worse. She directly named the characters in the book "Jin Lingzhi". My little sister is not only generous, but also good at martial arts and looks good. Who can object to this?
In our childhood memory, there is a TV series "The Legend of the New White Snake", in which there is a story of a white snake stealing fairy grass to save Xu Xian. The fairy grass she stole was Ganoderma lucidum, which brought Xu Xian back to life.
Cao zhi
In fact, Ganoderma lucidum is a fungus, formerly known as Cao Zhi. The ancients thought that Cao Zhi could bring auspicious feeling. If you eat Cao Zhi with good color, you can live forever. Even ordinary ganoderma lucidum can cure all diseases. Therefore, they think that Cao Zhi can be well informed and incredible, so they changed its name to "Ganoderma lucidum", which is a very meaningful name. Ganoderma lucidum, as an auspicious plant, is not only highly respected in ancient medicine, but also praised by scholars of all ages, leaving many famous books praising Ganoderma lucidum. We know that in ancient literary works, some things often have special images, such as jade, which represents nobility. People use jade to describe a modest gentleman. Another example is the metaphor of the eye of autumn water. "Looking through the autumn water" means looking with your eyes, which is used to describe eager anticipation.
Similarly, Ganoderma lucidum is usually a holy and beautiful image in ancient literature. Poets of all ages spared no effort to praise Ganoderma lucidum. If not, they just regret the name of such a "psychic effect".
You see, from ancient times to the present, Ganoderma lucidum is an auspicious longevity grass in novels, legends, poems and songs. In fact, there are records of the magical effects of Ganoderma lucidum in many TCM works, but the author is not a medical student after all. Based on the principle of being responsible for life, I dare not write this thing indiscriminately.
