The legend of forgetting about the grass

According to legend, Chen Sheng, before the Daze uprising, was very poor. Because his family had no rice to put into the pot, he had to go out to beg for a living. Coupled with the lack of nutrition, he suffered from edema all over the body, and the pain was unbearable.

One day, Chen Sheng begged to a mother-daughter family surnamed Huang. Mother-in-law Huang was soft-hearted. Seeing Chen Sheng's pitiful appearance, she let him into the house and steamed him three bowls of hemerocallis flowers for him to eat. For Chen Sheng at that time, day lilies, which can solve the problem of hunger and cold, were as sweet and delicious as delicacies. He gobbled it up, and after a while all three bowls of day lilies went into his stomach. A few days later, the swelling subsided. Chen Sheng thanked Huang's mother and daughter very much and said he would repay them in the future.

After the Daze uprising, when Chen Sheng became king, he did not forget the Huang mother and daughter. In order to thank the Huang mother and daughter for their kindness, he invited them into the palace. With wine and banquets every day, the countless delicacies and precious meals could not arouse Chen Sheng's appetite. Suddenly, Chen Sheng remembered the delicacy of hemerocallis flowers in those years, so he asked Mrs. Huang to steam another bowl for him to eat.

Granny Huang picked some day lilies and steamed them for Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng-duan took up his rice bowl and took only one sip, but it was hard to swallow. "what's going on? it's not as good as it used to be," he said. "it's so strange." Mother-in-law Huang said, "in fact, it's not surprising. It's really day lilies when you're hungry. You're used to eating wine, meat and hemerocallis." With these words, Chen Sheng fell to his knees and bowed again and again. Granny Huang repeatedly said, "No, no, no, no.

Since then, Chen Sheng left the Huang mother and daughter in the palace, specializing in growing day lilies, and often ate it. At the same time, there are two other names for Hemerocallis, one is "forget about grass" and the other is "cauliflower". Because Grandma Huang's daughter's name is Golden Needle, and the leaf of Hemerocallis looks like a needle, so people call it "Golden Needle vegetable". As soon as the news spread, people used hemerocallis root to treat edema, which was later discovered by the doctor and became a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine after repeated application.
