The earliest record of honeysuckle as a medicine was in medical works before 1500. There was a famous medical book in the Liang Dynasty called "Ming Yi Bie Lu", which included honeysuckle under the name "Lonicera japonica". There was a reason why it was included under the name "Honeysuckle" at that time: because the plant is called honeysuckle, and the medicinal parts, in addition to the flowers, also include stems, vines and leaves, that is, the whole honeysuckle plant. The name of honeysuckle was officially given by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty: "It grows on a vine and does not wither in winter, so it is called honeysuckle; it has one stalk and two flowers, one large and one small. When they first bloom, the stamens and petals are white, but after two or three days, the color turns yellow; the new and old flowers bloom one after another, alternating between yellow and white, so it is called honeysuckle; it is also called mandarin duck vine; its vine is left-entwined with other things, so it is called left-entwined vine." This is the annotation of Li Shizhen and other scholars on the origin of its name and synonyms. Nowadays, honeysuckle has other names such as double flower, silver flower, and honeysuckle flower.
