Lout's Root
East Gate Market Dong Men Shi Chang ªFªù¥«³õ (Haikou, Hainan)
The lotus flower is appreciated in China for its beauty and as a symbol of
righteousness. Taken as food, the root embraces the opposing characteristics
of yin and yang. When it is eaten raw or its juice is drunk, the body receives
cool energy. When it is cooked the energy becomes hot. Stimulation of blood
circulation is one of the effects.
