What are the mysterious and ancient legends in China and Hubei? Or a story?

Shennong tasted a hundred herbs.

In ancient times, Emperor Shennong found a high mountain for all people to taste, but when he saw steep mountains and forests everywhere, he was overjoyed and decided that there must be a magical medicine hidden in the secret.

Shennong was poisoned when collecting and tasting medicine, and his life was dying. He conveniently tore off some leaves from the bushes beside him and chewed them down to quench his thirst. Miracle appeared, and these leaves saved Shennong's life. Therefore, Shennong named this kind of leaf tea and advocated planting tea and drinking tea.

On the day when collecting herbs was completed, Emperor Tiandi was impressed by Shennong's behavior of benefiting all beings and sent a crane to take him to heaven to become immortal. Because of the cover of tall trees, Shennongjia wood is the altar of heaven. Therefore, Shennongjia is named after Shennong's herb collecting rack, which is a ladder, a house and an altar.
