Legendary Tales
Dog's-tail grass was transformed into a beloved dog brought down from heaven by a fairy when she descended to earth. The fairy fell in love with a scholar on earth, but was thwarted by the Queen Mother. The fairy and the scholar resisted the Queen Mother in order to be together. In the final moments of the confrontation, the fairy's beloved dog lays down his life in order to rescue the man.
In the end, the fairy and the scholar were transformed into two jade pendants of yin and yang, which were passed down in the human world. It is rumored that if two people who are in love with each other obtain these two jade pendants separately, they will be able to become lovers. The fairy's beloved dog was transformed into a dog's tail grass after her death, which has been passed on as a witness of love for generations.
