Since ancient times, porridge has been a diet for treating diseases and preserving health in traditional Chinese medicine. Originally, according to Huangdi Neijing, it was boiled with five grains of nutrition porridge. Later, Chinese medicine added herbs or fruits and vegetables to porridge according to the patient's condition, which achieved the effect of curative effect and health preservation. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the beautiful society attached great importance to beauty beauty, so there were fruit and vegetable porridge and flower porridge.
Su Dongpo wrote a book in the Song Dynasty, saying, "When you are hungry at night, Wu advised you to eat rice porridge, which can bring forth the old and bring forth the new and benefit your stomach." . Porridge is fast and beautiful, and it's wonderful to sleep after eating porridge. In the southern region, porridge is often cooked in the afternoon to satisfy hunger, or porridge is eaten as a snack at night.
Nowadays, many doctors advocate not eating supper at night, because supper can't rest the spleen and stomach, damage the function of the stomach and even lead to gastric cancer. But this statement is too alarmist for people who eat supper in some parts of the south. Western and southern Guangdong still have the habit of eating porridge at midnight, and people don't have stomach problems. Local Chinese medicine also found the reasons: First, porridge is easy to digest, but the porridge cooked in the south is light, and glutinous rice has the function of nourishing the spleen and stomach. The midnight snack is usually at 9 o'clock, so there is enough time to digest porridge afterwards.

For example, Cang Gong, a famous doctor in the Western Han Dynasty, cooked "Hodge porridge" to treat Wang Qi; Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty wrote in Treatise on Febrile Diseases: "Guizhi Decoction has been taken for some time, drinking more than one liter of hot porridge to help the drug."

Besides the famous allusion of curing diseases with porridge, most prescriptions of health porridge were recorded in medical books handed down in history.
