Historical allusions about Tribulus

It is said that after the Han Dynasty traitor Wang Mang and others seized power, Liu Xuan, a descendant of the Han Dynasty, fled the capital alone in a carriage in order to revive the Han Dynasty. When Wang Mang learned about it, he personally led his troops in pursuit.

Liu Xuan was anxious and had little food and water along the way, which caused his liver fire to rise, his eyes to become red and tearful, and he felt dizzy and fainted on Mochigang in Weishi County. At this critical moment, a mochi came up with a Tribulus terrestris vine in its mouth and chewed it, causing the juice of the Tribulus terrestris vine to drip into Liu Xuan's mouth. Liu Xuan was thus saved and escaped.
