Myths and legends of asparagus
According to legend, in ancient times, Princess Sancui of the Dragon King of the East China Sea broke the dogma, was forcibly brought into an ordinary family, and was tortured by the pointed rich man in every way. When Yincui gorge was herding sheep by the lake, Huxiang people knew her sufferings very well, sympathized with her very much, and treated her like their own relatives. Even Sister-in-law would rather eat Artemisia selengensis weeds by herself than keep white rice for her. Yimian would rather be cold than take off her cotton-padded jacket. Her companion fishing sister-in-law often kneels by the lake and prays for her. ...

Later, Yincui gorge was rescued by her father, the East China Sea Dragon King, and returned to the Dragon Palace. She always remembered the kindness of Huxiang people and told her father in detail. Her father was very grateful. He appointed the Third Prince of the Dragon King to lead the soldier crab, and moved the reed root under the Dragon Palace to the lake continent of Dongting Lake with a golden cane, so that it could survive and grow naturally.

The tender stem growing on reed root is called asparagus, which is tender, crisp and sweet, satisfying the hunger of Hunan people, and is called "Dongting Dragon Grass". In autumn, asparagus grows taller than one person, and Huang Cancan becomes a reed. Huxiang people use it to build a firewood house in Huzhou to settle down, cook and keep warm.

Seeing this, the rich man with a sharp brain wants to monopolize Huzhou. He ordered thugs to burn firewood houses and drive all Hunan people out of Huzhou. He also wrote an inscription in Huzhou: "I open Huzhou and plant asparagus. Whoever dares to hit the wall will be buried alive. " He became the king of Huzhou overnight.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea flew into a rage when he heard the news. He found the rich man with a sharp skull, opened his mouth and blew a dragon wind, which made him dizzy and sank into the water. Since then, Huxiang people have returned to Huzhou to recuperate.

Time has passed, and the asparagus complex in Huxiang people's hearts has never changed. Asparagus, as a delicious food, is now more and more favored by people, and some people in the literary and art circles use asparagus to express their feelings. "The asparagus in Yuanjiang/the cutting-edge food/the rich beauty of the water town/the freshness of the wetland ..." "Huzhou in early spring/the fairy tale of resurrection/every thriving asparagus/is a youth/poet ..." "The day of marriage from Huzhou/the day of eternal life is set in early spring/the morning dew in the southern wetland/the agility and crispness of the great lakes ..." "
