The legend of Petunia's name comes from legend. Once upon a time, there was a child who was too poor to eat and was sold to the landlord's house to herd cattle. One autumn, the child's belly was as big as a drum, his skin was sallow and skinny, and he had difficulty urinating, so he was driven away by the landlord. The child couldn't walk, fell asleep in the grass, woke up hungry, and shelled the fruit next to him and ate it. After a period of time, there were a lot of watery stools, abdominal distension was greatly reduced, and the condition gradually disappeared. He returned to the landlord's house to herd cattle. In order to thank the herbs for saving his life, the children took the cow back to the grassland and bowed down to the herbs. Later, the world used it as medicine and named it morning glory.
Another version is like this: a farmer's child got a big belly, and the village doctor gave him powder to make him recover. The family asked the children to take the lead in sending calves to show their gratitude. The doctor insisted not to, saying, "This medicine is collected from the ground. I don't know its name yet. Since the child came with a cow, this medicine is called Petunia. " Tao Hongjing said: "This medicine began in the field, and people thanked it, so it was named." . Morning glory is divided into black morning glory and white morning glory, also known as black ugly and white ugly, which is anonymous because it belongs to cattle.
Ligustrum lucidum, the legend about the name is that there was once a kind girl named Zhenzi who married an honest farmer. The two loved each other very much, but less than three months after their marriage, her husband was taken to serve as a soldier. After three years, there was no news. One day, a soldier from the same village fled back, bringing the bad news that her husband was dead. Zhenzi immediately fainted and eventually died in the hospital bed.
Sadako told her second sister before she died: "After I die, I will plant a holly in front of my grave. In case he comes back alive, this tree will prove my unchanging heart. " After her death, the second sister did as she said. A few years later, Holly flourished.
Finally one day, Sadako's husband came back. Second sister told the story of Zhenzi before her death. He threw himself on the grave and cried for three days and nights, and his tears were all over the holly tree. Since then, he has a fever and dizziness due to excessive sadness. The holly tree in front of Zhenzi's grave soon bloomed and produced many fruits as big as beans.
The villagers were surprised that the tree could blossom and bear fruit, and there were many discussions. Some people say that trees can live forever, and people who eat fruit can live forever. Zhenzi's husband was really tempted: "If I eat the fruit and become immortal, I can still see my beloved wife." So he picked the fruit and ate it, but after eating it for a few days, he didn't become an immortal or see Zhenzi, but his illness gradually improved. In this way, people discovered the medicinal value of Ilex. It can nourish yin and benefit liver and kidney. People have planted seeds and named them "Ligustrum lucidum".
