is said to be passed down. Five thousand years ago, the founder of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, Qi Bo and granddaughter Forsythia collected and grown medicines in Xinmi, Henan.

One day, Qi Bo and his granddaughter Lian Qiao were collecting herbs on the mountain. Qi Bo was unfortunately poisoned while testing the medicine.

Qi Bo was in a hurry and kept shouting: Forsythia, Forsythia.

Lian Qiao was anxious. Although she had no way to rescue her, she couldn't bear to watch her grandfather leave.

In desperation, she stroked the green leaves beside her, crushed them in her hand and stuffed them into her grandfather's mouth.

Qi Bo slowly woke up and swallowed the green leaves. After a while, Qi Bo's face and tongue were as usual.

From then on, Qi Bo began to study this green leaf. After many experiments, he found that this green leaf has a good effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, so he recorded this green leaf in his Chinese medicine list and named it Forsythia.
