ExclusiveTraditional Chinese Tales：Origin of the Miraculous Ointment

Origin of the Miraculous Ointment
In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was an old scholar named Liu Ziyi in Tianchang County, Anhui Province. He used to make a living by teaching children, but his income was meager and barely enough to cover expenses. In order to support his family, he sold his large house and bought a small courtyard house on the north side of the city. His wife and children lived inside while the street-facing side served as a shop for small business. Liu Ziyi was generous, sincere, and honest, but not good at bargaining with others. After a year, his capital was exhausted, yet the small shop made no profit. The family still lived a tough life.
