Maitake is a highly effective cash crop grown by farmers because its tuberous root is a valuable herbal medicine. It is also a commonly used Chinese herb in China and is widely used in Chinese medicine clinics as a raw material for a variety of proprietary Chinese medicines and health foods. Maidenhair also has high greening value, both as outdoor greenery and as an indoor ornamental panicle. There are many stories about it! The story of Mai Dong Legend has it that when the Great Yu was healing a river, he was stopped by the river gods, who thought that if the river was healed, it would break the “feng shui dragon line” and affect the future life of the dragon’s descendants in the river. Dayu then discussed with the villagers, who agreed to provide for the descendants of the Golden Dragon in the future. When the Dragon heard the villagers’ assurance, he agreed to let Dayu rule the water. The result, of course, was that Dayu governed the river. After Dayu’s success in healing the water, the crops in the land were so abundant that the villagers could not finish their food, and Dayu ordered the remaining food to be dumped into the river. In return for the villagers’ honesty, the river gods let a grass, maidenhair, grow in the river. People call this grass “Yu Yu grain”, because this grass is produced in Yuzhou, narrow and slender leaves, shaped like leeks, so it is called “Yu leek”, “Yu Xia”. This herb has the effect of “nourishing yin and generating fluid, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, and clearing the heart and eliminating annoyance”, so it is also called “immortality medicine”. In addition, according to the Records of Ten States, a bird was said to have brought in a plant with green leaves like chives and lavender petals, which were elegantly reflected in the green leaves during the era of Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang then sent someone to ask Guigu Zi, this grass why? It is said that Guigu Zi is good at nurturing and holding the body, and is proficient in the art of medicine. Seeing this grass, he said: “This is the medicine of immortality on the East China Sea Yingzhou. Three days after a person’s death, use the grass to cover his body, then live, one grass can save a person”. When Qin Shi Huang heard about it, he sent Xu Fu, a Buddhist monk, as an emissary, with thousands of boys and girls to take a boat into the East China Sea to seek the medicine of immortality, but of course, later returned without success. The so-called “elixir of immortality” that Qin Shi Huang was looking for was actually maitake. Source: The dried tuberous root of Maitong of the lily family.
