Why are there big teeth marks on the leaves of reeds?

On the leaves of reeds, there is always a big tooth mark, which comes from a beautiful legend. People have the custom of wrapping zongzi with reed leaves on the Dragon Boat Festival. Tooth marks on the leaves often make people wonder if someone stole zongzi. Reed is a leaf that grows in ditches and these places and can be used as medicine all over the body. People are more familiar with its function of wrapping zongzi, but they are not clear about its function of detoxification and hemostasis.

In the legend of reed leaves, the Queen Mother took a bite and left a big tooth mark. Legend has it that one day, the Queen Mother was bored in the sky and flew to the world to play. In ancient times, there were more trees and fewer houses, and more wild cattle and sheep were playing there. Seeing the beautiful scenery, the heavenly queen watched with interest as she walked. Only at this time, don't cut your feet with blind grass, it hurts. I wanted to forget it. Ask the farmer next to me how this grass grows in disorder, and I know that this grass comes to the director because cattle and sheep don't like it.

The Queen Mother was very angry and felt that ordering her subordinates to pull out this idle grass would only harm people. I didn't expect the reed grass to be very long, and I couldn't find the root after pulling it for a long time. In a rage, the queen mother took a bite on the grass directly, leaving three deep tooth marks. So reed leaves have teeth marks from now on, getting older every year. But this is just a legend. After all, only a few people will get angry and bite grass.

Reed leaves have teeth marks, and poems written by literati are still beautiful. ? Reed rises in the evening wind, and Qiu Jiang scales. The sunset glow suddenly changes color, and geese sing. The drums are absolutely perfect and the fishermen are brightly lit. No one can recite history and travel on the moon alone. ? -from "Niuzhu in Night Park".

Reed leaves are hairy and more than 40 centimeters long. People write more about reed leaves and less about tooth marks.
