Shi Le, a king of our Sixteen Kingdoms period in China, he and Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, generally had a very low starting point, and finally became the king of our northern continent from the status of a slave. He is such a legendary king, and he has also left a strong mark on the history of our spices. Interestingly, the name of the spice is placed on the pen.
Shile was originally from the Hu people at that time, so he had a natural resistance to the Hu character, so after the unification of the north, the name with the Hu character was changed, among which the spice coriander, which everyone is very familiar with today, is one of them. Coriander was originally called coriander, it was first called coriander when it first entered our China, and it was renamed coriander because of Shile, and coriander eventually evolved into what we often call coriander today.
Not only coriander, but also another spice that is more familiar to southern friends, its name has also changed because of Shile. Jin Buchang is also commonly known as the Nine-Storey Pagoda, which is a very commonly used spice in Chaoshan, Fujian and Taiwan in southern China, and is often used in cooking with shellfish. This spice was originally called basil, and the name of the basil was the same as that of Shile, so the basil was renamed Lanxiang in order to avoid secrecy. The change of name was very easy to bring confusion in ancient times when information was not developed, and basil was no exception, and it was not until the "Qi Ming Yaoshu" of the Northern and Southern Dynasties that the names of orchid and basil were linked together. The name Schler is unfamiliar to those who do not know more about history, but for those who like to know more about spices, he is the only king who has two spices renamed because of them.
