Sun Siyi tried a variety of methods, but he was always helpless. Occasionally, when Sun Siyi went up the mountain to pick medicine, he found that an old -fashioned bird was pecking a grass -observing for many days, and he found that the old body who often pecked the grass was getting stronger and stronger.

With the mentality of trying, Sun Siyi took back the herbal medicine to treat the villagers, and as a result, the villagers' rheumatism was cured. The villagers asked Sun Siyi to name this kind of herbal medicine. Sun Siyi said that he knew and found it because of the old bird, so this kind of herbal medicine was called old grass.
