According to legend, the Empress Dowager of Ming Shenzong suffered from an eye disease, but the treatment by famous imperial doctors was ineffective. Instead, the disease worsened, as if her eyes were covered with a dark cloud, and she gradually became blind. This made the imperial doctors as anxious as dreams. A minister heard that there was a female doctor named "Mr. Peng" among the people, who was known as the "goddess doctor" and was especially good at treating eye diseases. He told the Empress Dowager about this, and the Empress Dowager heard about it and summoned the doctor to the palace.
After Diagnosing the Eye Disease of the Queen Mother, Dr. Peng discovered that the previous medical treatment had formed an obstruction that would not recede for a long time, but would not be hidden, and it would not be cured after long-term treatment. Then she used ginseng to replenish the socket and performed acupuncture. Soon the empress dowager's eye nebula disappeared completely and she recovered as before. Emperor Shenzong was overjoyed and immediately gave him a golden plaque saying: "Goddess Doctor".
