The earliest written record can be found in the Book of Songs Feng Wei Bo Xi: "The grass can't be obtained, but the back of the tree can be said." Zhu Zhu noted: "The worry of forgetting grass; Back, north hall. "Her other name is A Girl Without Sorrow, which comes from natural history:" Hemerocallis make people happy and forget their troubles, so it is a girl without sadness. "
The medical books of the past dynasties have a very detailed discussion on HEMEROCALLIS. "Notes on Materia Medica" records: "Daylily is sweet, which makes people have a good time and forget their worries."
Ji Kang of Jin Dynasty wrote in "On Health": "Acacia is angry, day lilies forget their worries, and fools know it." ("Donate" means to abandon).
"Seeking Truth from Materia Medica" said: "Hemerocallis are sweet in taste and slightly cool in gas, which can dispel dampness and promote diuresis, clear away heat and stranguria, quench thirst and relieve annoyance, open the chest and expand the diaphragm, and make people calm and have no sense of depression."
During the Tongzhi period in the Qing Dynasty, Fei, who was well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, said in "On Medical Prescriptions": "If you work hard, the five internal organs will accumulate work. The wounded are also hurt by seven emotions. " When you are upset, you will feel your heart and everything will go with the flow. If you worry too much, you will suddenly feel unhappy ... Hemerocallis forget your trouble and cure it with soup. "
Scholars of past dynasties also disagree with the saying that day lilies forget their worries:
Jiao's poem says: "The daughter of Hemerocallis can't understand the worries of a strong man." .
Mei, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said: "People's hearts are different from grass, and a tree can relieve their worries? ! If the palace is worried and this can be forgotten, it is easy for people. "
In his poem, he said, "If you plant the mysterious but not the orchid, you will forget your worries." The green leaves are not married, and the spring sorrow is even more worrying. "
It has become a beautiful implication that day lily forgets troubles.
In addition, in the Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen gave a more detailed explanation of HEMEROCALLIS: "HEMEROCALLIS is written as' falling off the grass', which means forgetfulness, and it is a girl's words without worry. Hemerocallis fulva is cool and sweet, and can be used as medicine. It has the functions of cooling blood, clearing away heat and toxic materials, quenching thirst and promoting fluid production, opening the chest and expanding the diaphragm, and calming the heart and calming the nerves.
