Regarding the Wufan Festival, there is also a little story about Mulian saving his mother. According to legend, Mulian's mother was thrown into eighteen hells by the king. In order to fulfill his filial piety, Mulian gave her mother food through ups and downs, but every time she gave white rice Eaten by the evil spirits of hell, my mother often goes hungry. So Mulian went over the mountains, tasted the herbs, and finally found a kind of leaves with black juice. The glutinous rice cooked with this juice was dark but fragrant and especially appetizing. Mulian would give this black rice every time. The evil spirit found that the rice was so black that he dared not eat it and had to give it to Mulian's mother. In the long run, Mu Lian's filial piety moved the Buddha, and then the family was finally reunited. For thousands of years, people have been moved by Mu Lian's filial piety and deeds in saving his mother. Also out of the good wish that the family members who passed away would not suffer from the suffering of hunger, they cooked black rice on the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, when Mulian gave food to his mother for the first time. This custom has been followed to this day.
Umi rice can nourish the spleen and kidney, relieve cough, soothe the nerves, improve eyesight, and black hair.
The surface of the black rice is dark and shiny, the taste is unique, and the rice grains are soft, waxy and tender, fresh and refreshing. Old people say that after eating black rice, they will not be bitten by mosquitoes throughout the summer. "
