According to legend, during the period of Yao Emperor among the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Central Plains was flooded. "Mencius on Teng Wengong" Note: "When Yao was in power, the world was not peaceful and the flood flooded the world." "Historical Records Xia Benji" also said: "When Emperor Yao was in power, the flood was terrible and the mountains were wide and people were disturbed." As the leader of the tribe at that time, Emperor Yao directed water conservancy. Because of his long-term concern for the safety of the tribe and all the people, Emperor Yao became ill from overwork and was ill in bed. Life will be over without water for a few days. At this critical juncture, Peng Zu immediately cooked a bowl of wild chicken soup according to his own regimen. Before the soup arrived, Emperor Yao smelled the fragrance from a distance, flipped and jumped, his forefinger moved, then gulped it down, and the next day he was radiant. Since then, Emperor Yao has eaten this chicken soup every day. Although he is busy every day, he is not sick. It was a beautiful talk for a while, and it was handed down. Pheasants were not uncommon at that time, and the ingredients were not mysterious. "Doubts" focus on another secret recipe of Peng Zu. It has been recorded in Peng Zu's Practice of Taoism that "the emperor eats it and naturally breeds its fruit". A bowl of ordinary chicken soup can have a little health care function of water medicine, which comes from this small fruit stone (tea seed). Peng Zu knew the health-preserving effect of Guo Mu seeds (tea seeds), so he got a trick. After 70 years in office, Emperor Yao finally reached the age of 1 18, and the secret of immortality (2377-2259 BC) was also in this tea seed.
Later, Yao was named Hou, and later people called him Peng Zu. Shun Shi learned the truth from Yin Shouzi and lived in seclusion in Wuyishan.
