According to a ninth-century legend, Mr. He was an older man afflicted with illness and infertility.  He noticed this plant with many vines and an abundance of intertwining tendrils.  The plant seemed even more active at night with the vines commingling.

Drawn to the nocturnal vitality of the plant, Mr. He consumed the plant regularly for several years.  Thereafter, youthful vitality  and virility were restored.  Mr. He’s health and complexion improved.  His hair turned black and he fathered children.
