[The origin of pear syrup candy]

In ancient times, whenever the Cold Dew season arrived,the imperial physicians would surely prescribe some medicines or dietary remedies,to give to the emperor, princes and concubines to resist the troublesome "autumn dryness" and prevent wind-cold colds.

Legend has it that Wei Zheng, a politician of the early Tang Dynasty, was a very filial son. His mother had suffered from cough and asthma for many years. Wei Zheng sought doctors everywhere, but with little effect, which made Wei Zheng very uneasy.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, took this to heart and specially summoned imperial physicians to prescribe a good remedy to cure the old lady's illness. After diagnosis and discussion, dozens of imperial physicians prescribed a dose of Chinese medicine for the old lady. Unfortunately, after one sip the old lady found it bitter and would not drink it again.

Because his mother liked drinking pear juice, Wei Zheng secretly added the Chinese medicine prescribed by the imperial physicians to sweetened pear juice, mixed it and simmered it over a slow fire,Because he overslept, the sweetened juice was accidentally simmered into sugar blocks.

Wei Zheng thought it was a pity to throw them away, so he tried eating one piece himself, and unexpectedly it tasted very sweet and delicious. So he gave it to his mother, and it turned out his mother also very much liked eating this glistening pear syrup candy.

So Wei Zheng added Chinese medicine and sugar to pear juice every day and simmered it into sugar blocks for his mother to eat,Who would have thought that after eating this way for nearly half a month, the old lady's appetite greatly improved, and not only did her food intake increase, but her cough and asthma also got better.
