After Nuwa made up the heavens, the people on the earth did not know how many years had passed, and as people multiplied, the food in nature could not meet people's needs, and diseases also tormented people's bodies. At this time, there was another god in the world, and that was Shennong.
Shennong statue
Shennong taught people to sow grain, solve people's food and clothing, and no longer have to live the hard life of drinking ru mao and drinking blood; in order to get more food, he also taught people to cut down trees and process them into ploughing tools to reclaim the land, turn the land loose and fine, not only save time and effort, but also make crops harvested; at that time, people's daily necessities were very poor, and Shennong also taught people to make pottery bottles, pots and other utensils to facilitate water collection and transportation, and taught people to make pots, bowls and other tableware for eating; at that time, people did not know how to weave cloth. Only with leaves and other things to protect the body from the cold, Shennong invented the spindle hammer and taught people to spin yarn and weave fabrics. The era of 'ploughing and eating, weaving dough clothes' was ushered in.
Shennong's inventions
Legend has it that Shennong had an auburn divine whip, the "ochre zhě whip", which whipped a variety of herbs. Those herbs were whipped by the gods, and they took on their own properties, and the shennong treated people according to the different characteristics of the herbs. In order to identify the nature of various herbs, Shennong crossed the mountains and mountains to collect medicines and taste them. Tasting medicinal food, Shennong was often poisoned, and legend has it that once again, he was poisoned twelve times a day. But Shennong was not intimidated by the difficulties, for the sake of the happy life of mankind, resolutely made one attempt after another, and finally tasted the broken intestinal grass, the intestines were poisoned, there was no cure, and he lost his life. There is also a saying that when Shennong tasted the medicine, he ate a centipede. The centipede burrowed into Shennong's stomach, and a hundred feet turned into a hundred worms, and the cycle began again and again, and the insects became more and more numerous, and finally died.
Shennong tastes hundreds of herbs
Although Shennong died, his merits will always be remembered in people's hearts. Although Shennong has many magical colors, it is a reflection of the prosperity of ancient China. At that time, with the development of primitive agriculture, handicrafts and animal husbandry, the deep ash became more and more prosperous, and more and more inventions were made, and people created such a great god ------ Shennong, and concentrated many inventions on Shennong's body to express their nostalgia for the inventors.
