Extended information
Herba is its scientific name, but in fact it has many other names. There is an alias called "sticky cabbage". Sticky cabbage is related to its shape (we will look at it later when the shape is introduced). There are also names called Huanghuazai, Litsea cubeba, fat pig seedlings, fat pig cabbage, and sticky pig vegetables. , some people call it cold grass, and there is also a name "four-sided hemp", which may be related to the shape of its stem and the square shape of the stem.
Look at the word "豨" for "豨豨草". It is a pictophonetic character with a left-right structure. The left side is 豱, which refers to pig, and the right side is the pronunciation of "豨". Pussy, ancient books say it is a pig, a big wild boar, so its alias "fat pig seedlings, fat pig vegetables" is also related to pigs. Whether it is pig grass in ancient times has not been carefully examined.
