Once, Li Shizhen passed a mountain village and saw a large group of people in front of him. Looking closer, I saw a man drunk and dancing from time to time. As soon as I learned, it turned out that this man had drunk the medicated wine soaked in eggplant.
"Mountain eggplant?" Li Shizhen looked at the drunk, who laughed so hard that he wrote down the name of the medicine. When he got home, he rummaged through medical books and found a record about this herb. However, medical books simply say that its real name is "Datura".
Li Shizhen is determined to find it and study it further. Later, Li Shizhen discovered Datura when collecting medicinal materials. He made wine from Datura as the villagers said. A few days later, Li Shizhen decided to taste and experience the efficacy of Datura.
He took a sip and it was delicious. Take another sip, and your tongue and even your whole mouth will be numb; One more sip and you'll feel groggy. After a while, they will feel groggy. In a short time, they will giggle and dance with their hands and feet. Finally, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The people on one side were frightened, so they quickly gave Li Shizhen detoxification medicine. After a long time, Li Shizhen woke up and everyone was relieved. Li Shizhen was so excited when he woke up that he quickly wrote down the origin, shape, habit and growth period of Datura stramonium, how to make wine, and the function, taking method, efficacy and reaction process of the medicine.
Someone complained that he was too risky, but he smiled and said, "How can you judge its efficacy without tasting it?" Besides, you can't do experiments on patients! "Everyone listened to his words, more admire Li Shizhen. In this way, another drug that can be used as clinical anesthesia came out.

Yuhu legend
On the day when Li Shizhen was born, his father Li Yanwen was fishing in Yuhu. Usually, he is lucky, but this time, he got nothing from several nets, and Li Yanwen was very depressed.
The last net felt heavy when pulled up, and my heart exulted. I thought it was a big fish, but it turned out to be a big stone Li Yanwen sighed: Stone, stone, I have nothing against you. Why did you play tricks on me today? This makes me more worried.
Stone suddenly spoke: stone, stone, don't worry if you come to congratulate. My husband and wife are about to fall into the moon. What do you want? So this stone is the Rain Lake God. Li Yanwen arrived home just in time for Li Shizhen to give birth, so she named him Shizhen.
That night, Li Yanwen had another dream that Tie Guai Li, a fairy, came to congratulate him and said, "When you are precious, you can diagnose all diseases. Be my apprentice and spread my reputation. "
