When Shennong tasted the Hundred Herbs, he tasted this very plant.

According to the literature, when Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, he died because he mistakenly tasted the broken intestines. In fact, this intestinal grass, also known as the hook, also known as Hu Manteng, big tea medicine, mountain arsenic, rotten intestinal grass. It is poisonous, especially the roots and leaves are the most toxic. This broken intestine grass is mainly distributed in zhejiang, fujian, hunan, guangdong, guangxi, guizhou, yunnan and other provinces, it likes to grow in the sunny place.

People often mistake the hookah for honeysuckle and eat it by mistake. In fact, honeysuckle is yellow and white and has much longer flowers than hookah. "If you see similar plants in these places you must be careful to prevent misuse, as there have been few cases of poisoning due to misuse of hookah."

In "The Divine Eagles and the Warriors," Yang Zu was in pain because he was poisoned by a love flower, and fortunately, he was saved by the Broken Intestine Grass at the edge of the Love Garden. Not to mention whether or not the Broken Intestine Grass depicted in the novel is a hookah, it's god enough to see him fight poison with poison.

A long time ago, the broken intestine grass has been recognized and applied by people. Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded: "Broken Intestine Grass" people accidentally eat its leaves died. Li Shizhen said that the "intestinal broken grass" is "hook kiss".
