The legend of Umi rice:
Mu Lian's mother suffered in the Hungry Ghost Road of the Eighteenth Floor of Hell. After Mu Lian was able to practice the Tao, she went to hell to visit her mother, but every time she prepared food, she was robbed by the hungry ghost jailer along the way. Eat it all. In order to satisfy her starving mother, Mulian couldn't think about it. For this reason, she often wandered in the mountains. One day (it was the eighth day of the fourth lunar month in the lunar calendar), Mulian was helpless and irritable, and casually plucked the leaves from the nearby dwarf tree on the mountain, put it in his mouth and chewed boredly, and found that the leaves were fragrant and delicious. , The leaf juice is black. Mulian thought that if the rice was soaked in this leaf juice and the black rice was burned and sent to his mother, he would not be robbed by the jailer. So Mulian took the picked leaves home and mashed them, soaked the rice with leaf juice, steamed it into black rice, and then sent it to his mother. Sure enough, the hungry ghost jailers stopped fighting, and Mu Lian's mother was finally full. Mu Lian finally rescued his mother from the hungry ghost road. In order to praise Mulian's filial piety, every family in Yixing eats black rice on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, and it has been passed down to this day. The leaves of the Southern Candle (commonly known as "Wu Fan Cao" in Yixing) for making black rice in Yixing are mainly grown in the hilly and mountainous areas of southern Yixing. The rice used in making black rice is usually glutinous rice, mixed with some japonica rice, which is particularly fragrant and delicious after cooking . The custom of eating black rice in Yixing has a long history and has been passed down from generation to generation. In the Ming Dynasty, the medical scientist Li Shizhen’s "Compendium of Materia Medica" stated: "Pick the leaves of the southern candle, mash them, soak them in water, and cook the japonica rice or glutinous rice. "Yixing County Chronicles" also recorded: "Eating black rice on the eighth day of April, and acting as'Wu Fan Xian' on the eighth day of April.... It is also said that the Mulian Yiqing Jingshu (one person) Nantianzhu) leaves soaked glutinous rice and boiled it into'Wu Fan', and this custom has been passed down to the present. "Yixing Wu Fan is a local specialty food in Yixing, and it is also a unique folk culture created by Yixing folks. It has distinctive local characteristics and has a greater influence around Yixing.
This product has the effects of replenishing the spleen and kidney, relieving cough, soothing the nerves, improving eyesight, and black hair. It is suitable for dietary supplementation for people with weak constitution."
