Explanation of the meaning of porridge: Di Gu Pi, also known as Jing Gu Pi, is the root bark of Lycium barbarum or Ningxia Lycium barbarum of the Solanaceae family, used raw or fried into charcoal.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the bark of Rehmannia root is sweet and cold in nature, enters the lung and kidney meridians, has the functions of cooling blood heat, relieving deficiency heat, and clearing lung heat. This product is sweet and slow in nature, cools blood and clears heat without damaging yin, and is a good product for cooling blood and relieving fever. Moreover, this product is cold in nature and can go to the lungs and kidneys, clear lung heat and stop cough and asthma, and enter the kidney meridian to relieve deficiency heat, so it can be used for both deficiency heat and excess heat. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it "removes deficiency heat of the liver and kidney in the lower part of the body". "Da Ming Materia Medica" says that it "removes restlessness, improves intelligence, and replenishes five kinds of labor and seven kinds of injuries". Cooking porridge and taking it is effective for bone steaming and hot flashes caused by deficiency heat, hot hands and soles, or cough and yellow sputum caused by excess heat, coughing up blood and spitting blood.
