Ligustrum lucidum is also known as Ligustrum lucidum fruit, holly fruit, ash tree fruit, and mouse fruit. The name of Ligustrum lucidum is said to have been named after a woman named Zhennu in the ancient State of Lu. Because the Ligustrum lucidum tree "remains green despite the frost, and its branches sway in the wind, Zhennu admired its name, so she planted it in the cloud hall or on the steps and courtyard", hence the name; and Li Shizhen's "Shennong's Herbal Classic" said: "This tree is green despite the winter, and it has the integrity of chastity, so it is described as Zhennu".

It is a good remedy for nourishing the liver and kidneys, and also has a blood-cooling effect. Because Ligustrum lucidum is picked on the winter solstice and Eclipta prostrata is picked on the summer solstice, and they are used together, it is called the "two solstices".
