Folklore of rhubarb

1. Once upon a time, there was a doctor named Huang, who inherited his ancestral business and was good at excavating five kinds of medicinal materials, namely Coptidis Rhizoma, Radix Astragali, Rhizoma Polygonati, Scutellariae Radix and Radix Astragali, to treat people. He was called "Sir". Every March, doctors go into the mountains to collect herbs, so they often stay at the home of Ma Jun, a farmer on the mountain, and don't leave until the end of autumn. Ma Jun's family of three are very kind to him, and they have established deep feelings with Ma Jun's family over time.

One year, the Ma family caught fire, and the house and property were burned out. Ma Jun's wife was burned to death, leaving only the father and son to live in the cave sadly. The doctor made great efforts to find the father and son. He said to Ma Jun, "Take the children and come with me to collect medicine!" So they spend all day together, collecting, selling and treating diseases for a living. Gradually, Ma Jun, who didn't know the medicinal properties, became familiar with Wuhuang medicine. Sometimes the doctor is not at home, and he occasionally learns to treat people.

One summer, a pregnant woman was weak, thin and yellow, and came to see a doctor with diarrhea. It happened that in the absence of the doctor, Ma Jun mistook Rhizoma Coptidis for purging fire and relaxing bowels. As a result, the pregnant woman had diarrhea after eating it, almost died, and the fetus died. When the defendant arrived at the county government, the county grandfather immediately ordered people to arrest Ma Jun and punish him with quacks. At this time, the card shark quickly knelt in front of the hall and begged the monarch to convict himself, saying that Ma Jun studied medicine with him; Ma Jun was even sadder and volunteered to accept the punishment. In this way, the princess envied their friendship very much. Considering that Mr. Huang Wu is also famous for his bad reputation, and the pregnant woman is weak and pregnant for a short time, he punished the two men, compensated the pregnant woman for some money, and let them go. But the county owner finally said to the doctor, "Since the' yellow root' of your five yellow drugs is more powerful than the other four drugs, you should change your name to avoid confusion and trouble in the future." The doctor nodded deeply. When he got home, he changed Huang Gen's name to "rhubarb" to show the difference. Later, the name gradually spread.

2. According to China's Twenty-Five History, sinologists from Stockholm University in Sweden wrote a book "History of Rhubarb", listing their stories in various dynasties. In 1960s and 1970s, rhubarb was introduced into Europe from China and Russian, and became an edible plant. /kloc-At the end of the 8th century, a vegetable farmer in Maine brought rhubarb seeds from Europe to North America.
