Plant Culture of Plantago asiatica

Legend has it that Ma Wu, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, once led the army to conquer Wuling. Because of the unfamiliar terrain, the Qiang people were besieged in an uninhabited place. It was the height of summer, and when there was a drought and no rain, both the sergeant and the war horse had "urinemia" due to lack of water, and there was no local medicine for clearing heat and diuresis, and the soldiers were all very anxious.

A groom named Zhang Yong accidentally found that three horses suffering from blood urination were cured. He was surprised to find the root of the horse and found that a piece of grass shaped like an ox's ear on the ground had been eaten up by the horse. In order to prove its effect, he tried it himself, and it also worked. So he reported to Ma Wu.

General Ma was overjoyed and asked where the grass was born. Zhang Yong pointed far away and said, "it's in front of the cart." Ma Wu smiled and said, "this day helps me, what a plantain." The whole army was immediately ordered to eat the grass, and sure enough, the urinemia was cured. In this way, the name of the car front cowboy has been handed down.
