"Dragon Materia Medica Classic" records: "Meat Ganoderma lucidum, non-toxic, tonify deficiency, benefit essence, increase wisdom, cure the knot in the chest, and strengthen the body for a long time."

Shan Hai Jing called it "seeing meat", "gathering meat", "aging" and "sealing", which was the health food of ancient emperors.

In ancient times, it was considered as an elixir of life. Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that "gravy is like meat. Attached to a big stone, it has a head and a tail, and it is a creature. Red people are like coral, white people are like fat, black people are like paint, green people are like jade feathers, and yellow people are like purple and gold, all bright as ice. " Ge Hong, a Taoist priest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, recorded in Bao Puzi that "Zhi Zhu's broken powder, or water, makes people intellectually fit and live forever." Tai sui is divided into fibrous tai sui and fleshy tai sui. Fibrous tai sui is produced in mountainous areas, inelastic and close to ganoderma lucidum. Meat glue is produced in soil, which is elastic and fleshy.
