There is also a kind of perilla, whose flower language is hopeless love
The legend of perilla has a legend about perilla.
It is said that on the Double Ninth Festival in 1999, Hua Tuo took his disciples to a restaurant to drink and saw several teenagers eating crabs in a contest. They ate a lot. Hua Tuo thought that crabs were cold and might get sick if they ate too much, so he advised them to eat less. Those teenagers are too happy to listen to their orders. They even sneered that Hua Tuo was greedy. Hua tuo was very angry. He told the shopkeeper that he could no longer sell them crabs. If he eats too much, he is afraid of death. But the hotel owner wanted to earn more money and didn't listen to Hua Tuo at all. He also said that even if something happened, it had nothing to do with Hua Tuo, who had to sit down and drink his own wine.
After a while, the teenager suddenly said that he had a terrible stomachache. The hotel owner was frightened and asked what was going on. The teenagers said that these crabs were poisonous and asked him to call a doctor to see them. At this time, Hua Tuo identified himself as a doctor and told the teenagers that he knew what disease they had. The teenagers quickly begged Hua Tuo to save them. Hua tuo made them promise to respect the elderly before treating them from now on, and the teenagers agreed. Hua tuo and his apprentice left the hotel, and the apprentice said he could go home and get the medicine. Hua tuo told his disciples that he didn't have to go home, just dig some purple clover for them to eat. Hua tuo and his disciples quickly picked some leaves of Arnebia euchroma and asked the hotel owner to cook several bowls of soup for the teenagers to drink. Soon, their stomachs stopped hurting. They are very grateful to Hua Tuo, expressing their gratitude to him, and publicizing how brilliant Hua Tuo's medical skills are everywhere. Hua Tuo also warned the boss not to just make money in the future, and the boss nodded and said yes.
Hua Tuo's apprentice asked Hua Tuo how he knew that these lilacs could cure crab poison. Hua Tuo said that he had seen otters eat Lithospermum leaves to treat diseases before. Once, Hua Tuo and his disciples went to collect medicine. When they saw an otter eating too much, they felt very uncomfortable, so they ate some purple clover and soon recovered. This is because fish, like crabs, are cool, while purple clover is warm, so it can be used to detoxify. The apprentice immediately opened his brain.
After that, Hua tuo made purple clover into pills and sprinkled them on his body to treat diseases. He also found that grass has other functions. Because this purple clover is very comfortable to eat in the stomach, the backstage named it Zishu, which later evolved into perilla.
