The Legend of the Dragon Tasting Hundreds of Herbs
Version 1
In ancient times, people had little to eat and relied on raking grass seeds, picking wild fruits, and hunting birds and beasts to survive. . Sometimes he ate something he shouldn't have eaten and was poisoned. In severe cases, he was poisoned to death. When people get sick, they don't know how to prescribe the right medicine. They just try to survive. If they get over it, they'll be fine. If they can't get over it, they'll die. Emperor Shennong was very worried about this matter, so he decided to taste hundreds of herbs, determine the properties of the medicine, and eliminate disasters and diseases for everyone.
Once, Shennong’s daughter, Princess Huarui, fell ill. She didn't want to drink tea or eat. She felt uncomfortable all over, and her abdominal distension was like a drum. No matter how she treated it, Shennong was in trouble. After thinking about it, she grabbed some grass roots, bark, wild fruits, and stone noodles, and counted them. *** Twelve flavors, I asked Princess Huarui to eat it, and I left because I was busy with work.
Princess Huarui took the medicine and her stomach hurt like a knife. Not long after she was older, she gave birth to a baby bird, which frightened people. They said it was a monster, so they quickly got it out and killed it. Unexpectedly, this little bird knows human nature. When his family annoyed him, he flew to the fields to look for Shennong.
Shennong was dozing under a tree when he suddenly heard: "Chichi, grandpa! Chichi, grandpa!" When he looked up, he saw it was a little bird. I thought it was noisy and annoying, so I waved my arm and said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, chi, chi." "Hey, grandpa!" Shennong felt strange, picked up a piece of garbage, and threw it at the tree, which scared it away. After a while, the little bird came back to the tree and called again: "Grandpa, chichi! Grandpa, chichi!" As soon as Shennong thought about it and understood, he raised his left arm and said, "If you were me "My nephew, it landed on my neck!" The little bird really flew down and landed on Shennong's left neck. Shen Nong took a closer look at the little bird. It was green and transparent, and even the intestines and intestines in its belly could be seen clearly. As soon as Shennong spoke, the little bird swallowed the saliva. Hey, you can clearly see how the saliva was swallowed. Shennong was very happy.
Shen Nong returned home with this exquisite and clear bird. When his family saw it, they were so frightened that they stepped back and said, "It's almost over, monster, it's almost over..." Shennong said happily. : "This is not a monster, it's a treasure! Let's call it the Flower Bird!"
Shen Nong divided the twelve herbs that Princess Flower had eaten into the pot and boiled them. Boil it for a while and feed it to the bird. While feeding it, watch to see where the medicine goes in the bird's belly and what changes there are. Each of you will taste it with your own mouth and realize what this medicine feels like in your stomach. After the twelve herbs were administered and tasted, the twelve meridians of the hands and feet, three yin and three yang, were removed in one stroke.
Shen Nong carried the bird up the mountain, burrowed into the old forest, and picked all kinds of grass roots, bark, seeds, and fruits; he caught all kinds of birds and beasts, fish, turtles, shrimps, and insects; he dug all kinds of stones and minerals. Feed the birds and taste them all with your own mouth. Observe and understand which meridians they each go through in the body, what their nature is, and what diseases each cures. But none of them can go beyond the twelve meridians. Over time, Shennong formulated the twelve meridians of the human body and the "Materia Medica".
After thinking about it, Shennong was still uneasy, so he held the bird in his hand and continued to verify. He came to the Taihang Mountains and wandered around for eighty-one days. He came to Xiaobeiding (Shennong Altar) and caught the bird. I fed the worm to the bird. Unexpectedly, the worm was so poisonous that it broke the bird's intestines and killed it. Shennong really regretted it, was extremely sad, and cried loudly. After crying, I chose good wood, carved a bird, and took it with me wherever I went. Later, Shen Nong mistakenly tasted the grassroots in the grass puddles on both sides of Xiaobeiding and died. To this day, on the top of the mountain northwest of Baicaowa, there is a stone that looks like a man bending over and hugging his belly. It is said that it was made by Shennong.
In order to commemorate Shennong’s creation of traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine, people renamed Xiaobeiding Shennong Altar and built Shennong Temple on Shennong Altar. There is a statue of Shennong in the temple, holding a bird with stamens in his left hand, and holding medicine in his right hand and putting it into his mouth.
Nowadays, many people watch the scenery of Shennong Altar and pay homage to the statue of Shennong every day.
Version 2
In ancient times, grains and weeds grew together, and medicines and flowers bloomed together. No one could tell which grains were edible and which herbs could cure diseases. . The people of Li relied on hunting to make a living. The birds in the sky were hunted less and less, and the animals underground were hunted less and less, so people had no choice but to go hungry. Who wants to suffer from sores and diseases, without medical treatment or medicine, and without death, the skin will peel off!
Shennong saw the suffering of the people and felt pain in his heart. How to satisfy the people's hunger? How to treat people's diseases? Shennong thought hard for three days and three nights, and finally came up with a solution.
On the fourth day, he led a group of subjects and set out from his hometown, Lishan, Suizhou, towards the northwest mountains. They walked and walked, their legs were swollen and their feet were calloused, but they kept walking. They walked for seven or seventy-nine days and finally arrived at a place. I saw one peak after another and one canyon after another. The mountains were covered with exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance could be smelled from afar. As Shen Nong and the others were walking forward, a group of wolves, tigers, and leopards suddenly emerged from the canyon and surrounded them. Shennong immediately asked his subjects to wield the magic whip and beat the beasts. One group was driven away, and another group came in. They fought for seven days and seven nights before all the wild beasts were driven away. Those tigers, leopards and pythons had scars drawn out by the divine whip, which later turned into markings on their skin.
At this time, the subjects said that it was too dangerous here and advised Shennong to go back. Shennong shook his head and said, "We can't go back! The people of Li are hungry, have nothing to eat, and are sick and have no medical treatment. How can we go back!" As he said this, he led the way into the canyon and came to the foot of a vast mountain.
This mountain is half-embedded in the clouds, surrounded by knife-cut cliffs. There are waterfalls hanging on the cliffs, which are covered with moss and are smooth and slippery. It seems that there is no way to go up without a ladder to the sky. The subjects again advised him to forget it and go back as soon as possible. Shennong shook his head: "We can't go back! The people are hungry, have nothing to eat, and are sick and have no medical treatment. How can we go back!" He stood on a small rocky hill, facing the high mountain, looking up, down, and to the left. Take a look, take a look, make up your mind, think of a way. Later, people called the small mountain peak where he stood "Wangnong Pavilion". Then, he saw several golden monkeys crawling over along the high hanging ancient vines and the rotten trees lying on the cliffside. Shen Nong had an idea, and he had it! He immediately called his subjects and asked them to cut wooden poles and canes and build a frame against the cliff. They built one layer a day, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, regardless of wind or rain. The work never stops despite the snow and ice. It took a whole year and 360 floors to reach the top of the mountain. Legend has it that the scaffolding used by people to build buildings later was based on Shennong’s methods.
Shennong led his subjects to climb the wooden frame and reached the top of the mountain. Hey! The mountains are really a world of flowers and plants, red, green, white, yellow, all kinds of colors, densely clustered. Shennong liked it so much that he told his subjects to beware of wolves, worms, tigers and leopards. He personally picked flowers and plants and put them in his mouth to taste. In order to taste herbs here, find food and medicine for the people, Shennong asked his subjects to plant rows of fir trees on the mountain as a city wall to protect against wild animals, and to build thatched huts inside the wall to live in. Later, people called the place where Shennong lived "Wucheng".
During the day, he led his subjects to the mountains to taste hundreds of herbs. At night, he asked his subjects to light a bonfire, and he recorded it in detail by lighting the fire: which herbs were bitter, which were hot, which were cool, and which were good. What can satisfy hunger and cure diseases are all written clearly.
Once, he put a piece of grass into his mouth and tasted it. Suddenly, the world was spinning and he fell down. The subjects hurriedly helped him sit up. He understood that he had been poisoned, but he could no longer speak. He had to use his last strength to point to a bright red Ganoderma lucidum plant in front of him and then to his mouth. The subjects hurriedly put the red Ganoderma lucidum into their mouths, chewed it, and fed it to his mouth. Shen Nong ate Ganoderma lucidum grass, and the poisonous gas was relieved, his head was not dizzy, and he could speak. Since then, people have said that Ganoderma lucidum can bring people back to life. The subjects were worried that it would be too dangerous for him to taste grass like this, so they all advised him to go back down the mountain. He shook his head again and said, "We can't go back! The people of Li are hungry and have nothing to eat, and they are sick and have no medical treatment. How can we go back!" After that, he continued to taste the herbs.
After tasting the flowers and plants on one mountain, he went to another mountain to taste them, and climbed up using wooden poles.
I have tasted it for seventy-seven forty-nine days and traveled all over the mountains here. He tasted that wheat, rice, millet, and sorghum could satisfy his hunger, so he asked his subjects to bring the seeds back and let the people of Li people plant them. This is what later became the five grains. He tasted 365 kinds of medicinal herbs, wrote "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", and asked his subjects to take them back to cure diseases for people all over the world.
After Shen Nong tasted the herbs and found grains to satisfy the hunger of the people and herbs to cure diseases, Shen Nong came to Huisheng Village and prepared to go back down the mountain. He looked around and saw that the wooden frames erected all over the mountain were gone. It turned out that those wooden poles took root when they fell to the ground, and sprouted after being exposed to the rain. Over the years, they actually grew into a vast forest. Shennong was in trouble when suddenly a group of white cranes flew from the sky and took him and several of his protecting subjects to the heavenly court. From then on, Huisheng Village is filled with fragrance all year round.
In order to commemorate Shennong's achievements in tasting hundreds of herbs and benefiting the world, the people named this vast forest "Shennongjia". The Huisheng Village where Shennong ascended to heaven was renamed "Liuxiang Village".
Version 3
In ancient times, people ate wild grass, drank raw water, ate wild fruits on trees, and ate small bugs crawling on the ground, so they often got sick, poisoned, or injured. . Shen Nong taught humans how to sow grains and use their own labor to ensure sufficient means of living.
Shennong is a loving god. He has the head and body of an ox and is extremely powerful. He often helps poor people farm, and like an ox, he works hard to serve mankind. Human beings learned to farm from Shennong and had enough food, so they no longer had to worry about starvation.
However, many people often fall ill after eating a full meal. Some people are ill and do not feel well for a long time, and they can only survive until they die.
After Shen Nong knew about this kind of thing, he felt very anxious. He did not believe in witch doctors asking for divination, but he also had no way to cure the disease. So, he discussed with many people how to cure people's diseases and free them from the troubles of diseases. He tried many methods, such as roasting with fire, watering, sun exposure, freezing, etc. Although the symptoms of some diseases could be alleviated, the effect was not ideal.
One day, Shennong came to Jingang area in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, tasted the grass and trees, and found that the grass and trees had various flavors such as sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and so on. He gave grass with a bitter taste to a person who couldn't stop coughing, and the person's cough immediately eased a lot. He gave grass with a sour taste to a person with a stomach disease, and the person's stomach pain stopped.
It is very hard for the miracle doctor to taste the herbs. Not only does he have to climb mountains and walk to find the herbs, but tasting the herbs is also life-threatening. In search of medicine, Shennong was poisoned 70 times a day. Shennong was poisoned to the point of death and was in great pain. But with his strong physical strength, he stood up strong and continued to taste more vegetation. There are so many varieties of grass and trees on the earth that they are countless. In order to speed up the tasting of grass and trees, Shen Nong used a tool called "divine whip", also called "ochre whip", which was used to whip all kinds of grass and trees. Grass and trees, after being beaten with ocher whip, they are poisonous or non-poisonous, bitter or sweet, cold or hot, and various medicinal properties are naturally revealed. Shennong treated human diseases based on the different properties of these plants and trees. He once used the magic whip on Chengyang Mountain and discovered many herbs with significant effects, such as licorice to treat coughs, rhubarb to treat constipation, yellow lotus to reduce swelling, and so on. Therefore, later generations called Chengyang Mountain Shennongyuan, also known as Yaocao Mountain.
Human beings suffer from many diseases while living in the world, but few of the plants and trees discovered by Shennong have curative effects. In order to cure more diseases, he kept tasting more vegetation. Once, when he was tasting a vine-like plant with small yellow flowers climbing in the cracks of rocks, he ate the flowers and stems into his stomach. Not long after, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, as if his intestines were broken. Come to life and die, rolling all over the ground. In the end, Shennong could not withstand it and was poisoned to death by the grass. Although Shen Nong was poisoned to death, he used his life to discover a highly poisonous grass. People named it Broken Heart Grass.
