老鸛草的传说

老鹳草(学名:Geranium wilfordii Maxim.)是牻牛儿苗科,老鹳草属多年生草本植物。

老鹳草的叶形美观,叶色鲜艳,花色多,花美观,植株矮小,适合做地被植物用。

相传在隋唐时期,中国著名的医药学家孙思邈云游四川峨嵋山上的真人洞,并在洞中炼丹和炮制多种治疑难病的妙药以解除病人的疾苦。 由于四川属盆地气候,湿度很大,上山求医的患者大多都患风湿病,而孙思邈用遍所有方法仍束手无策,孙思邈陷于一片苦思之中。

 一天,孙思邈带着徒儿上山采药,忽然发现有一只灰色的老鹳鸟在陡峭的山崖上,不停地啄食一种无名小草,随后拖着沉重的躯体缓慢地飞回密林的鹳鸟窝中。过了几天,孙思邈又见到这只老鹳去啄食此草,奇怪的是这次老鹳比上次飞得雄健而有力了。

于是,孙思邈对徒儿说:老鹳鸟长年在水中寻食鱼虾,极易染上风湿邪气。食用该草后此鸟疾飞更有力,表示该草对动物有一定益处。随即命徒儿采回很多这种无名小草,煎熬成浓汁,让前来应诊的风湿病患者服用,并带些药草回去自己熬汤服用。

几天之后,奇迹发生了,原来双腿及关节红肿的症状均已肿消痛止,并且可下地而行走了。有许多经过治疗痊愈的风湿病人,请孙思邈给此药草起一个名字,孙思邈略思片刻称道:此药草是老鹳鸟认识发现的,应归功于老鹳鸟,故取名为“老鹳草”。
