Origin Story
老中医李时珍年轻时，为了编写《本草纲目》，跋山涉水，采集各种药材。有一次，他在深山里迷了路，走了好几天，又饿又渴，加上过度劳累，他感到头晕目眩，几乎站都站不稳。他扶着一棵大树，闭上眼睛休息了一会儿，突然闻到一股清香，他循着香味找到了一个山洞，洞里长满了各种各样的草药，他采摘了一些草药，熬了一碗药喝下去，很快就恢复了体力，继续他的药材采集之旅。
When Li Shizhen, an old Chinese physician, was young, he traveled to mountains and rivers to collect various medicinal herbs for writing the Compendium of Materia Medica. Once, he got lost in the deep mountains and walked for several days. He was hungry and thirsty, and because of excessive fatigue, he felt dizzy and lightheaded and could hardly stand. He leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes and rested for a while, and suddenly smelled a fragrance. He followed the scent and found a cave, filled with various herbs. He picked some herbs and brewed a bowl of medicine to drink, and soon regained his energy, continuing his journey of collecting herbs.
