How did the name dog tail grass come from?

The name dog tail grass comes from the fact that when this plant grows up, it will grow a spike shaped like a dog's tail, with green fluff on it, which looks very interesting.

There is also a folk myth about the origin of the name dog tail grass: It is said that long ago, a fairy in the sky fell in love with a scholar on earth, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, and the fairy was desperate to come to the world. In the process of confrontation, the fairy's dog stepped forward and gave his life to save the fairy and the scholar.

Later, fairies and scholars were transformed into two pieces of Yu Pei, Yin and Yang, which spread among the people. Legend has it that if two people who love each other get two pieces of Yu Pei respectively, it will be good. After the dog died, it became green grass, which has been a witness of love for generations. Therefore, Setaria viridis is also a symbol of love, and its flower language is unrequited love, tenacity and hardship.
