The formula of Poria cocos powder is a kind of dampness-removing and health-preserving powder, which consists of eight kinds of yam, adzuki bean, coix seed, lotus seed meat, Euryale euryales, white lentils, Poria cocos and mung beans. Its formula is listed in Gao Li's famous classic of traditional Chinese medicine "Spleen and Stomach". Later generations took yam and poria cocos as the main names, called "Mountain Poria Powder", which appeared in Hakka area of Meizhou, Guangdong.

Since ancient times, Guangdong has been regarded as a humid area. The so-called cigar smoke actually refers to humidity. In ancient times, people in the Central Plains and the north were reluctant to come to the south, and many people thought that they could not go back once they came. During the third migration, the Hakkas brought the formula of eliminating dampness handed down by their ancestors from the Central Plains to Guangdong.

This formula consists of 8 kinds of yam, adzuki bean, coix seed, lotus seed, euryale seed, white lentil, poria cocos, mung bean, etc. in order to prevent the "cigar smoke" in Lingnan area. This prescription was later incorporated into the theory of spleen and stomach. Later, the Hakka people called this formula: Fushan powder.
