Myth 1 of choosing Ai: The more Ai, the better.
Since ancient times, one of the criteria for choosing Ai has been "Chen". The Confucian classic Mencius said, "I still have seven years of illness, but I want three years of love." The "three-year love" refers to Ai Chen. Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist in Ming Dynasty, once mentioned in "Compendium of Materia Medica Four Ai Herbs" that "whoever uses Ai must use it, and the system is delicate and soft, which is called cooked Ai" and emphasized the long-term choice of Ai Chen. It can be said that "Chen" has become a hard indicator when choosing Ai, so what is it? Is the longer the better?
