Litchi, also known as litchi, pear, litchi and so on. , is the fruit of litchi in Sapindaceae. Du Mu's poem said: "When riding a princess in the red dust and laughing, no one knew it was litchi." It was about the time when Yang Guifei liked to eat fresh litchi in the Ming Dynasty and ordered people to transport fresh litchi to Chang 'an from thousands of miles away in Guangdong and Sichuan. Many officials and post horses are exhausted by this. Someone once wrote indignantly: "Running day and night, there are poisonous snakes and beasts." Su Dongpo, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote: "It is better to grow up to be a Lingnan person than to grow up with 300 lychees a day", which means a deep love for lychees.

Litchi is sweet, sour and warm in nature, and can promote fluid production, nourish blood, regulate qi, warm the middle warmer, strengthen the spleen and stop diarrhea. Huang Yuanyu wrote in "Medicinal Solution of Corn": "Litchi is warm and moist, which is most beneficial to spleen, liver, essence and blood. Yang failure and blood cold, it is best to be ignorant. Work is the same as longan, but blood heat is suitable for longan and blood cold is suitable for litchi. Dry people taste less. It's not as good as fresh, but it's peaceful and its interests are not damaged. If it doesn't help fire generate heat, it will overcome freshness. " Clinically, chronic diarrhea is due to spleen deficiency, and diarrhea is due to five changes in the elderly (also known as chicken crow diarrhea). That is, diarrhea before dawn), hiccup, female weakness, metrorrhagia and anemia, qi deficiency and stomach cold can all be eaten with litchi. Litchi can also cure bad breath.

Litchi is produced in Yamen Mountain, Xinhui, Guangdong. It's called Yulu Cream. In fact, the self-shelled Dan meat does not decline after winter, and it is sweet, sour and nontoxic. Those produced in Foshan, Guangdong Province are called Fei Zixiao. In fact, they are as big as goose eggs, as small as beans, as colored as amber and as smooth as milk. Produced in Luzhou, Sichuan, it is called Purple Yuhuan, which can remove furuncle, even if it is early in the fog after eating. Lan Qi cannot invade.

Bai Juyi's "Litchi Map" said: "Litchi is born between the eight gorges, with trees like clumps like curtains, leaves like holly, flowers like orange and spring glory, fruits like Dan but ripe in summer, flowers like peach trees, seeds like loquat, shells like purple silk, meat as white as ice, and pulp as sweet as buttermilk. Leaving this branch, the color changed one day, the fragrance changed two days, and the taste changed three days. After four or five days, the color and fragrance are gone. "

If you are drunk because you eat too much litchi meat, you can take it with litchi shell decoction.
