Story and legend
Once upon a time there was a rich man who had a maid named Huang Jing at home. Huang Jing was born into a poor family, but she was born with good looks. The rich man was obsessed with sex and wanted Huang Jing to be his wife. The rich man sent a message to Huang Jing's father, saying that your family has been cultivating my fields and eating my food for generations, and now I want Huang Jing to be my wife. If you don't want to, pay off my debt immediately and get out of my house. The Yangque did not live in the same nest as the poisonous snake, and the family was so anxious that they had no choice but to ask Huang Jing to hide out of the house. On a dark midnight night, Huang Jing escaped from the rich man's manor. But as soon as she escaped from the tiger's mouth, she was discovered by the gangster. So, the rich man immediately sent his servants to chase Miss Huang Jing with lanterns and torches. In the dark, Huang Jing ran, one foot at a time, one foot at a time, and somehow she reached the edge of a cliff. At this time, the lanterns and torches behind her were getting closer and closer, and the girl jumped off the cliff with a heartbeat.
After Huang Jing jumped off the cliff, she thought she would definitely die. However, when she fell halfway up the mountain, she was caught by a small tree and fell to a small slope beside the tree. She only felt bursts of burning pain all over her body, and she fainted. After an unknown amount of time, she opened her eyes and was startled to see an abyss beneath her. She had not had a sip of water or a grain of rice for several days and was very weak. Seeing that there were dense weeds growing around her, with yellow stems and thin leaves, long and narrow leaves, and some white flowers, she grabbed a handful of grass leaves and put them in her mouth to temporarily satisfy her hunger. Once, she pulled out a grass root that was as thick as a finger, put it in her mouth and chewed it. She felt it was fragrant and sweet, much more delicious than those grass stems and leaves. After this, Miss Huang Jing lived by digging grass roots every day while looking for a way up the mountain. The sun rises and sets, the moon sets and rises again, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. One day the girl climbed up behind a big rock and saw a yellow vine as thick as a wine glass hanging from the top of the cliff. She grabbed the vine and climbed up. Only then did she realize that her body had become very light, as light as a swallow. Just like that, I climbed to the top of the mountain very easily, without even taking a breath. After reaching the top of the mountain, she walked straight to the west. As she walked, she saw a village not far ahead. She walked to a house and said, "Master, please give me a bowl of rice." She saw an old woman in her sixties or seventies walking out of the house. He glanced at the girl and said, "You don't even look at the time when you beg for food. They haven't made a fire yet so early in the morning. How can we get food?" After that, he went back to the house.
"Mom, please be kind. I haven't eaten for several days. It's okay if I have a bowl of leftover rice." Huang Jing said. Seeing that she was speaking pitifully, the old woman opened the door and let Huang Jing in. Then she went to heat up a bowl of leftover rice and a bowl of hot soup. After a while, an old man carrying firewood entered the door. The old woman pointed at Huang Jing and said to the old man: "This is a poor begging girl. There is a drought in her hometown and her parents are dead. She is here begging for food. Let's take her as our daughter!" The old man looked at the girl and ordered. nod. From then on, Miss Huang Jing lived in her husband's house. The days are long. The girl told her aunt and uncle about her life experience.
Huang Jing survived the disaster and jumped off a cliff. She survived for more than half a year by eating grass leaves and roots. Now she can be called aunt. The uncle was surprised and said that the girl has a good fortune and good luck. The girl's plight gradually spread throughout the village. There was an old herb collector in the village. He heard that the girl could live for such a long time by eating grass roots. When he saw that Huang Jing was so hydrated, he asked the girl what kind of grass roots she ate. The girl took the old man to find that kind of grass roots on the mountain. The old man who picked the medicine scooped it up and tasted it carefully. He felt that the taste was fragrant and sweet. After eating, his body felt warm, comfortable and full of energy. Later, after he gave this grass root to his patients, his condition improved. He also took it to the elderly, and their bones gradually became stronger and stronger. Because this kind of grass was discovered by Miss Huang Jing, everyone named it "Huang Jing"
