The legend of the grass
In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Emperor was brutal and ruthless, and the world was in chaos. Many people moved south to escape the scourge of war. One of the fleeing mothers and sons was poor and had not had enough to eat for a long time. The mother was unsatisfactory, sick, with pain in her limbs and joints, unable to move, and dying.
The son thought, "Mother must give her a good meal before she dies." "But because I didn't have any money, I didn't know what to give my mother to eat. Disappointed, he found a pig nibbling on the weeds on the side of the road, and he tried the weeds, which were not too difficult to eat, so he picked some and gave them to his mother. Unexpectedly, after my mother finished eating, her condition slowly improved. Later, people called it "fat pig grass", which is today's cattail grass.
