In Chinese legends, Job’s coix has the effect of “good for children”, such as Wang Chong’s “On the Strange”, “Yu’s mother swallowed Job’s coix and gave birth to Yu”. The “Wu Yue Spring and Autumn Annals” also says: “Jiu Ji married the daughter of the You Xin family and said she was a woman who was young and strong. He got coix in the main mountain and swallowed it, meaning that he was touched by people and conceived.” I don’t know if “Job’s coix” is related to pregnancy. In the Song Dynasty, Coix seeds were a common staple food on people’s table, and also appeared frequently in poems, such as Su Shi’s poem: “Fubo rice Coix, the pest is good for the gods.” Lu You also poem: “The first trip to Tangan rice barley, cooked not less than the beauty of carved beard. Big as gravy white as jade, smooth and flowing spoon full of fragrance.” It can be seen that there is a high evaluation of Job’s Tear. In the Song Dynasty, the herbal books also described Coix seedlings in more and more detail, such as the “Ben Cao Tu Jing” said that it “grows seedlings in spring, the stem is three to four feet high. The leaves are like millet. It has red and white flowers as spikes. May, June fruit, green and white, shaped like a bead and slightly longer.” Coix seeds are sweet, light and slightly cold in nature, with large, full, colorful and complete grains. It is often used in the treatment of spleen deficiency diarrhea, edema, foot odor, urinary discomfort, dampness and paralysis, canker, intestinal canker, etc. Clinically, it is divided into two types: raw and fried, and raw Coix seeds are removed after the fruit of Coix seeds is matured and the shell and yellow-brown skin are removed, and fried until slightly yellow with a gentle fire, or fried with bran.
