Abstract
    Lian (Lotus),a perennial aquatic herb,is the original dicotyledon of the nymphaeales in nymphaeaceae. There is an ancient saying that "one lotus can be used as nine drugs",but there are different effects in its different officinal parts. However,they all do not deviate from its nature of bright and clean of Lian. The nature of Lian determines its function:it cannot be stained in the mud with a clean body,so it could remove and clear the blood stagnation,clear the heart and cool off the heat;it is soft,so it could tonify spleen and heart,nourish blood;it is ascending in property,so it could be used for promoting yang,dispersing qi,and detoxification. Through its ability to clean up the filth,remove the disease and the stagnation,the lotus could function in eliminating many diseases.
