How does the name "hanxincao" come from?
According to legend, Han Xin, the founder of the Han Dynasty, lost his father when he was young and his mother when he was young. His family was poor and he lived by selling fish. One day, when Han Xin was selling fish in the market, he was beaten by several scoundrels and was bedridden. Aunt Zhao, a neighbor, sent rice to take care of him, and got a kind of herbal medicine from the field to fry Soup for him. Within a few days, he recovered. Later, Han Xin joined the army and became a famous general. He cherished the soldiers very much. After each battle, there were many wounded people. While visiting and comforting him, he sent people to the fields to collect the herbs that Aunt Zhao had treated him. After collection, they went to each camp and cooked soup in a big pot to let the injured ping-pong drink. The slight wounded were cured in three or five days, and the seriously injured were cured in ten and a half days. The soldiers were very grateful to Han Xin. .
The doctor of the army asked Han Xin about the name of the herbal medicine that cured everyone. Han Xin only knew the type of the herbal medicine, not its name. It's said that Han Xin didn't know the name of this herb, so he wanted to give it a name. Some people suggested that it be called "Han Xin Cao". So the name of "Han Xin Cao" was opened, and it has been circulated till now.
