Origin Story
话说唐朝时期，一位名医李时珍，正在研制一种新型的麻醉药，这种麻醉药能使人短时间内完全失去知觉，却不会对人体造成任何伤害。为了测试药效，李时珍让他的助手小张先服用。小张服药后，片刻便人事不知，如同一尊雕像般一动不动。李时珍仔细观察小张的各项生命体征，发现一切正常，于是便放心地进行下一步实验。几个时辰后，药效逐渐消退，小张悠悠转醒，回忆起刚才的一切，他惊叹不已，对李时珍的医术佩服得五体投地。从此，李时珍研制的麻醉药便在民间广泛流传，为无数患者减轻了痛苦，造福一方百姓。
It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, a famous doctor named Li Shizhen was developing a new anesthetic. This anesthetic could make people completely lose consciousness for a short time without causing any harm to the body. In order to test the efficacy of the drug, Li Shizhen asked his assistant Xiao Zhang to take it first. After taking the medicine, Xiao Zhang immediately lost consciousness and remained motionless like a statue. Li Shizhen carefully observed Xiao Zhang's various vital signs and found that everything was normal, so he proceeded with the next experiment with peace of mind. After a few hours, the effect of the medicine gradually subsided, Xiao Zhang slowly woke up, and recalled everything that had just happened. He was very surprised and greatly admired Li Shizhen's medical skills. From then on, the anesthetic developed by Li Shizhen was widely circulated among the people, relieving countless patients of pain and benefiting the people in the region.
