There are two factors that cause yellow face: one is liver depression and the other is spleen deficiency. We often call women with yellow faces "yellow-faced women".

It is said that "Fuling Congee" was discovered by Su Zhe, the younger brother of Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty. Su Che suffered from many illnesses when he was young. In summer, his spleen could not handle the food, and in autumn, his lungs could not handle the cold. He could not get better after taking medicine for a long time. Once, he learned from a conversation with a friend that practicing qigong and eating Poria cocos can cure this disease. So he did as his friend said for a year, and he was cured. After that, he carefully studied medical works such as "Shennong's Herbal Classic" and made "Fuling Congee". Later he told this recipe to his father Su Xun and his brother Su Shi, and the whole family took it.

Moreover, when taking Poria cocos, it should not be used with rice vinegar, oyster shell, realgar, dandelion, gentiana macrophylla, and tortoise shell.
