readx;? "Yi Zhi Ci" cloud: "Shennong takes Japan and China as the market, to the people of the world, gathers the goods of the world, trades and retreats, and each has its own place." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info means that in order to solve everyone's surplus products, the Yandi period set up a bazaar for everyone to exchange with each other, so that the primitive commodity trading in Chinese society appeared, accelerated the transformation of public ownership in primitive society to private ownership in slave society, and laid the groundwork for the birth of a new social system.

Another great achievement of Shennong was the creation of Chinese medicine and medical skills.

"Compendium of Easy Knowledge" records: "The people have diseases, unknown medicine stones, the Yan Emperor began to plant and wood, observed its cold, warm, peaceful, and hot nature, distinguished its king, ministers, Zuo, and made it righteous, tasted one day and encountered seventy poisons, and the gods turned into them, so they made a document to treat the people's diseases and the way of medicine began from then on." "Historical Records: Supplement to the Three Emperors" said: Shennong's made wax sacrifices, whipped grass and trees with ochre, tasted herbs, and began to have medicine. "Huainanzi Cultivation Training" is also said: Shennong tasted the taste of a hundred herbs, and encountered seventy poisons in one day. Jin Ganbao's "Sou Shen Ji" Volume 1: "Shennong whipped a hundred grasses with an ochre whip, knowing its peaceful poison, cold and warm nature, and the smell of the main thing, so as to sow a hundred grains." ”

It is rumored that Shennong is a delicate jade body. It can be seen that its lungs are good and the five organs are good, because it can dissolve the poison. It is also said that Shennong died because he tasted centipedes and could not detoxify them. Legend has it that Shennong's appearance is very peculiar, his body is thin, and his body is transparent except for his limbs and head, so the internal organs are clearly visible. Shennong's taste of all kinds of herbs, as long as the herbs are poisonous, his internal organs will be black after ingestion, so what herbs have an effect on which part of the human body can be easily known. And to teach people the earliest work of human beings, "Shennong's Materia Medica", at first it was only passed on by word of mouth, and in the Han Dynasty, it was recorded in writing for people, in fact, it has been continuously supplemented by people in the middle of the way. Later, because Shennong took too many poisons, the poison was too deep, and he finally died.

Eating grass to cure diseases is not unique to humans. Many animals have the phenomenon of taking medicine to cure diseases, indicating that long before humans became humans, human ancestors had instinctively accumulated a lot of knowledge of herbal medicine. After the rise of primitive agriculture, out of the need to find better crop types, people will pay more attention to understanding the characteristics of plants while tasting plants, not only pay attention to whether they are toxic or not, edible but not edible, but also pay attention to understanding the bitter, spicy and sweet taste of different plant species, different parts and different organs, as well as the characteristics of cold and temperature, so as to form a medical concept and start medical exploration in combination with the original knowledge of herbal medicine. In other words, the concept of medicine was formed in the process of primitive exploration of domesticating plants into crops, and it was an invention of "unintentional willow and willow shady". This should be the historical truth of Shennong's invention of medicine.

The following is the legend of Shennong's clan:

In ancient times, grains and weeds grew together, medicine and flowers bloomed together, and no one could tell which grains could be eaten and which herbs could cure diseases. The people of Li live by hunting, and the birds in the sky are getting fewer and fewer, and the animals in the ground are getting thinner and thinner, so people have to go hungry. Whoever wants to have sores and diseases, there is no medical treatment, and if you don't die, you have to shed your skin!

The suffering of the common people, Shennong's eyes are in his eyes, and he is in his heart. How to feed the people's hunger and how to cure the people's diseases? Shennong pondered and meditated for three days and three nights, and finally came up with a solution.

On the fourth day, he took a group of subjects and set out from his hometown (Hubei) Suizhou Lishan (town) to the northwest mountain (Shennongjia). They walked and walked, and their legs were swollen and their feet were calloused, but they kept walking, and they walked for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and they came to one place. I saw that the mountains were one peak after another, the canyons were one after another, the mountains were full of strange flowers and plants, and the fragrance was smelled from afar. Shennong and the others were walking forward, when suddenly a group of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards came out of the canyon and surrounded them. Shennong immediately asked his subjects to wield their whips and shoot at the beasts. They beat away a group, and then they came up again, and they fought for seven days and seven nights before they drove all the beasts away. Those tigers, leopards, and pythons were scarred by the divine whip, and later turned into markings on their skin.

At this time, the subjects said that this place was too sinister and persuaded Shennong to go back. Shennong shook his head and said, "We can't go back!" The people of Li are hungry and have no food, and if they are sick and have no medical treatment, how can we go back!" he said, leading the way into the canyon and coming to the foot of a vast mountain.

This mountain is half cut into the clouds, and on all sides is a knife-cut cliff, and there is a waterfall hanging on the cliff, and there is moss, and the water is slippery, and it seems that there is no ladder to the sky. The subjects advised him to forget it again, and to go back as soon as possible. Shennong shook his head: "I can't go back! The people of Li are hungry and have no food, and they are sick and have no medical treatment, how can we go back!"

He stood on a small rocky mountain, facing the high mountain, looking up, looking down, left and right, making up his mind and thinking of a way. Later, people called the small mountain where he stood "Wangnong Pavilion". Then he saw several golden monkeys, crawling along the ancient vines hanging high and the rotten trees lying on the cliffside. He immediately called his subjects and told them to cut wooden poles, cut rattans, and build a frame against the mountain cliff, and build a layer a day, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, no matter whether it was windy, rainy, snowy, or frozen, he never stopped working. It took a whole year and 360 floors to reach the top of the mountain. Legend has it that the scaffolding used by people to build buildings later was to learn from Shennong's method.

Shennong took his subjects to climb the wooden frame and went to the top of the mountain. Shennong liked it very much, he told his subjects to guard against wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and he personally picked flowers and plants and put them in his mouth to taste. In order to taste herbs here, find food and medicine for the common people, Shennong asked his subjects to plant a few rows of fir trees on the mountain, as a city wall to prevent wild beasts, and build thatched huts to live in the wall. Later, people called the place where Shennong lived "Mucheng".

During the day, he led his subjects to the mountains to taste the herbs, and at night, he asked his subjects to build a bonfire, and he wrote down them in detail by the light of the fire: which grasses were bitter, which were hot, which were cold, which were sufficient for hunger, and which were for healing.

Once, he put a piece of grass in his mouth and tasted it, and in an instant the world spun around and fell headlong. The subjects hurriedly helped him to sit up, he knew that he had been poisoned, but he could no longer speak, so he had to use his last strength to point to a bright red Ganoderma lucidum grass in front of him, and then to his mouth. The subjects hurriedly put the red lingzhi in their mouths to chew and feed it to him. Shennong ate Ganoderma lucidum grass, the poison gas was dissolved, his head was not dizzy, and he could speak. Since then, people have said that Ganoderma lucidum grass can bring the dead back to life.
