At that time, Cixi was recuperating in Xiangshan Palace, but in fact, Cixi's health was not serious, but she had a heart attack. She felt that she was old, but she would not live long, so she was a little unhappy. The prescription prescribed by the doctor had no effect at all, and Cixi was very worried and anxious.
At this time, someone recommended the old abbot of fahai temple to Cixi. It is said that this man has lived to ninety-nine, but he is healthy and mentally alert. She can not only practice martial arts every day, but also go up the mountain to collect herbs by herself, which makes Cixi very surprised. Thinking that he must have some good prescription to prolong his life, he sent for the abbot to come to the palace.
The old abbot told Cixi that he ate his own small round cakes every day and gave Cixi a lot. Cixi ate three at a time and found the taste very delicious. After eating, she really felt refreshed. In the next few days, she ate this small round cake every day, and her spirit was really much better, and her heart disease gradually improved.
Cixi thought this small round cake was particularly magical, so one morning she took two followers to fahai temple to meet the old abbot. As soon as she arrived at the temple, she smelled a strong fragrance. On closer inspection, it turned out that the old abbot was making small round cakes. Cixi also asked the old abbot for the recipe for making this small round cake and brought it back to the palace. This kind of small round cake is also called Fuling cake.
After Cixi returned to the palace, she asked the imperial doctors to make tuckahoe cakes according to their admiration, and then Cixi ate them every day. Take it as a health care medicine, and your body will get better after a long time. Therefore, the Fuling cake handed down now has a lot to do with Cixi. If it weren't for her, Fuling cake might have been lost long ago, or she could only bring the recipe back to the palace to carry forward.
