Folklore of rhubarb
1. Once upon a time, there was a doctor named Huang, who inherited his ancestral business and was good at digging five kinds of medicinal materials, namely Rhizoma Coptidis, Radix Astragali, Rhizoma Polygonati, Scutellariae Radix and Radix Astragali, to treat people, and was known as "Mr. wuhuang". Every March, the doctor went into the mountains to collect herbs, so he often stayed at Ma Jun's home, a farmer on the mountain, and didn't leave until the end of autumn. Ma Jun's family of three treated him kindly, and over time they established deep feelings with Ma's family.
One year, Ma's family was caught in a fire, the house and property were burned out, Ma Jun's wife was burned to death, and the father and son were left to live in the cave sadly. It took a lot of effort for the doctor to find the father and son. He said to Ma Jun, "Take the children and collect medicine with me!" So they accompany each other all day, collecting, selling and treating diseases for a living. Gradually, Ma Jun, who didn't know the medicinal properties, became familiar with the five yellow medicines. Sometimes the doctor was not at home, and he occasionally learned to treat people.
One summer, a pregnant woman was weak, thin and yellow, and came to see a doctor for diarrhea. It happened that in the absence of the doctor, Ma Jun mistook the coptis root for purging fire and relaxing bowels. As a result, the pregnant woman had a big diarrhea after taking it, almost died, and the fetus also died. When the defendant went to the county government, the county master immediately ordered someone to arrest Ma Jun, and he wanted to punish him with a quack. At this time, the card shark quickly knelt in front of the hall and begged the county master to convict himself, saying that Ma Jun studied medicine with him; Ma Jun was even more sad and volunteered to take the blame and be punished. In this way, the county master admired their friendship very much. Considering that Mr. wuhuang is also known for his reputation, and the pregnant woman is weak and the pregnancy is short, he punished the two men to compensate the pregnant woman for some silver and let them go. However, the county master finally said to the doctor, "Since the" yellow root "of your five yellow drugs is more powerful than the other four drugs, you should change your name to avoid confusion and trouble in the future." The doctor nodded deeply, and when he got home, he changed the name of Huanggen to "rhubarb" to distinguish it. Later, the name gradually spread.
