The origin of this "sugar-free" is said to be related to the Eight Immortals. In the 19th year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty, there were many drug addicts in Dongkeng Town. On February 2nd, early spring, due to the spread of poisonous drugs and the poverty of the people, few lean men were employed by the rich men who rushed to Dongkeng "Prostitution Festival". Most of them are sallow and emaciated, and their labor is reduced. After hearing this, Lv Dongbin, an immortal with eight holes in heaven, quickly made an antidote and helped all beings. But the good medicine tastes bitter, and it is disgusting to come down to earth privately. Therefore, the immortal Lu hid the elixir in a cooked glutinous powder pill, boiled it with syrup to make it sweet, smooth and delicious (meaning "sugar powder sticks to Dan without separation"), turned it into an old man with a burden, and put it at the end of the market from the street to sell it.
