What are the characteristics of Shennong?

Personality? Outstanding? Can you say that he has a big temper? There is some truth in the description of bad temper. Shennong is a legend, but his personality is absolutely nothing "extraordinary", but he is still remarkable.

When it comes to Shennong, the allusion that many people think of for the first time is "Taste a hundred herbs". To put it bluntly, he is the ancestor of agriculture in China. Although he didn't establish the later agricultural development system, if the taste of herbs is true, he definitely played a role in promoting agricultural development.

In fact, Shennong was born after the goddess filled the sky, and gave birth to a child in the cave of Lieshan. It is said that when the child was born, nine wells appeared around him, which can be said to be a vision from heaven. Later, inspired by the divine bird, Shennong invented grain and educated people to cultivate land and plant seedlings. Everyone remembers the kindness of Shennong and calls it "Shennong". The surrounding tribes are called "Shennong Tribe".

However, in history, it is still controversial whether Yan Di and Shennong are one person, but Shennong tribe was also called Yan Di tribe at that time and was regarded as the agricultural god of China. The reason why the name "Stone" was added after Shennong was because its original meaning was "God Emperor" and it was the title of tribal leader in that era, and later generations stubbornly interpreted it as God Emperor. The origin of the title of Emperor Yan is mainly due to Shennong's outstanding achievements in raising woody crops, teaching people to make ceramics and textiles, and using fire. He took fire as his surname, so he was named Emperor Yan.

Moreover, he is the founder of China's theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

Through his deeds, we can know a little about Shennong's own character, because Shennong was a tribal leader at that time. At that time, people were still uncivilized, many tools and things did not appear, people often went hungry, and they often ate some poisonous things and were poisoned. Mild symptoms, waiting for death. Shennong worried about this all day and finally decided to try a hundred herbs. Even after he tried a hundred kinds of herbs, he still used them to treat people. As for what happened later, I don't need to say it. Later, I invented the use of grain, farm tools and fire. These feats are to help ordinary people survive.

In other words, Shennong has great compassion, and every invention of Shennong has influenced future generations. Perhaps at that time, as a tribal leader, he mainly helped his own tribe. Later, he joined hands with the Yellow Emperor. These inventions benefited everyone at that time, and everyone appreciated his kindness. In the words of modern people, Shennong was the Ferrari of that era.
