The story of Shennong whipping medicine and tasting hundreds of herbs is a famous ancient Chinese Han myth and legend.

Shennong was originally one of the Three Emperors. He was born in a cave in Mount Lie. It is said that he had the head of a bull and the body of a bull. Because of his special appearance, hard work and bravery, he was promoted as the leader of the tribe when he grew up. Because his tribe lived in the hot south and was called the Yan tribe, everyone called him Emperor Yan. Once he saw a bird picking up seeds and invented grain agriculture. Because of these outstanding contributions, people also called him Shennong.

When he saw people getting sick, he went to Duguang Wilderness to climb a tree in the Emperor's Garden to get Yao grass. When he met the Emperor of Heaven, he gave him a magic whip. Shennong took this magical whip and whipped it all the way from Duguang Wilderness. All the way back to Lieshan. Shen Nong was poisoned many times after tasting hundreds of herbs, all thanks to tea for detoxification. Because he vowed to taste all kinds of grass, he finally died from tasting gallbladder. In order to commemorate his kindness and achievements, people worshiped him as the God of Medicine King and built Yaowang Temple to offer sacrifices at four seasons. At the junction of Sichuan, Hubei and Shaanxi in my country, it is said that this is the place where Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, and is called the Shennongjia Mountain Area.
