The bulb of Lycoris is used as a medicine, with a spicy and warm taste, slightly toxic; it has the effects of detoxifying, expectorating, diuretic, and emetic.
Lycoris is the scientific name of the flower, with the most commonly used name in folk being "cockroach flower"; because it usually blooms around the autumnal equinox, which was considered the day of the other shore of autumn in ancient times, it was called "other shore flower" or even "flower of the netherworld," carrying a touch of sadness; it is also a strange flower, as when the flowers bloom, the leaves cannot be seen, and when the leaves are present, the flowers are not visible, the flowers and leaves can never meet, only yearning for each other.
