Legend has it that during the Yellow Emperor period, there was a minister named Du Kang, who was in charge of the food management of the tribe.

At that time, the Yellow Emperor was well-governed, and the tribe could harvest a lot of food every year.

However, there were no warehouses at that time, and people didn't even know the scientific method of storage, so they just stored a large amount of food in caves.

However, due to the dampness of the cave, over time, all the grain rotted.

When the Yellow Emperor saw this, he asked Du Kang to find a way to preserve the food.

Du Kang also felt very sorry to see that so much food was wasted, and he made up his mind to keep the food well.

One day, Du Kang went for a walk in the woods and found several dead trees, only the thick and empty trunks were left.

Du Kang had an idea and thought, "Why not store grain in these tree trunks? This way the grain will not rot due to moisture."

So, Du Kang took the tribe and poured all the food into the trunk.

After a while, Du Kang came to the woods to check the grain situation. He was surprised to find that some wild boars, goats and rabbits were lying in front of the dead tree where grain was stored, motionless as if they were dead.

He hurriedly approached to take a closer look, only to find that the animals were not dead, just as if they were asleep.

The original tree trunk that contained the grain was cracked a few cracks, and water was seeping from the inside to the outside.

Du Kang judged from this that these animals should have licked and eaten, and the water that seeped out lay down.

However, what is the reason?

Du Kang leaned over and smelled it, only to feel a fresh fragrance blowing towards his face, he couldn't help but taste a few sips of this strong perfume, and he felt refreshed.

Du Kang took these strong perfumes back and invited people to taste them. After they tasted them, they all said that they were delicious, and after drinking them, they felt very energetic, but they were worried about whether the water could be drunk.

Du Kang did the test himself. After drinking a lot of this water, he felt a little dizzy and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he didn't feel any discomfort in his body.

After that, Du Kang reported the matter to the Yellow Emperor. Huang Di also personally tasted the strong perfume and felt it was good, so he asked Du Kang to continue his research and observation.

In this way, Dukang finally invented winemaking, and wine gradually became popular among the people. Dukang was also respected as the ancestor of winemaking.

...

After reading "Dukang Brewing", the Internet became lively again, and all the readers seemed very excited.

In a short period of time, they learned about Cangjie's coined characters, the origin of the "Qihuang Technique", and the ancestor of winemaking being Du Kang. What could be more enjoyable than this?

"No wonder I have seen records of 'Dukang wine' in the history books. It turns out that Dukang is the ancestor of winemaking."

"So, my Chinese wine culture can also be traced back more than 5,000 years ago, wow haha! This is great."

"Hey! Wine is good, but don't be greedy."

"Lying on the grass! It's ok upstairs, it looks like an advertisement."

"..."

Know the origin of wine, but the story is not over yet. After Du Kang, another big man appeared.

This big man is called Lei Zu, and her story is called "Lei Zu First Silkworm".

Leizu, some people familiar with history know that Leizu was the wife of the Yellow Emperor, or the Concubine Yuan.

However, the historical books handed down only record that Leizu was the wife of the Yellow Emperor, but the deeds of Leizu are not recorded.

This ancestor of silkworms, does it mean that Leizu invented silkworm breeding?

"Leizu First Silkworm? Is this 'Leizu' a person's name?" Readers who didn't know who Leizu was, couldn't help muttering in their hearts.

I don't know if they heard their murmurs, but someone said on the Internet: "There is a history book, there is such a record, 'The emperor lived on Xuanyuan Hill, and married the daughter of Xiling, is the ancestor Lei. Ancestor is the emperor of the Yellow Emperor. Concubine, she gave birth to two sons, and both of them will have the world after that.' It can be seen that this Leizu was the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Could it be that this Leizu invented silkworm breeding?"

"I'll go, the name is weird,

It turned out to be Huang Di's wife. Invented silkworm farming? That's not ordinary people! "

"Nonsense, that is Huang Di's wife, how can she be an ordinary person?"

"Also, ordinary people can't be the wife of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the ancestors, good, good!"

"..."

Knowing that Lei Zu was the wife of the Yellow Emperor, everyone couldn't help but look forward to the story of "Lei Zu First Silkworm".

After the Yellow Emperor became the leader of the tribe, he handed over the clothing and crown to the Yuan concubine Leizu.

Leizu often led women up the mountain to strip bark from trees and weave hemp nets, and they also stripped the furs of various wild beasts hunted by men and processed them.

Once, Leizu's subordinates were in a mulberry forest and found that the trees were full of small white fruits.

They began to think that these small white fruits were fresh fruits, so they picked them and tasted them, but they found that they had no taste, and they couldn't rot even if they were bitten.

Afterwards, they picked some small white fruits and took them back to Leizu to see.

Lei Zu carefully observed the small white fruit that his subordinates brought back for a long time, and after thinking a lot, he happily said to his subordinates: "This is not a fruit, you can't eat it, but it is of great use. Great work."

Leizu discovered that the small white fruits are very useful, but how did these small white fruits come from?

Lei Zu asked his subordinates where they found the small white fruit, and went up the mountain in person to observe in the mulberry forest for a few days.

I finally figured out that this small white fruit is a kind of insect spit filaments woven around it.

Leizu informed the Yellow Emperor about this, and asked the Yellow Emperor to order to protect all the mulberry forests on the mountain. The Yellow Emperor naturally agreed.

From then on, under the advocacy of Leizu, people began to plant mulberries and raise silkworms.

Ancestor Lei invented silkworm breeding, which benefited the whole world.

In addition, Leizu first advocated marriage, his mother honored the world, and benefited all people. He opened up the vastness with the two emperors of Yan and Huang, and bid farewell to the wilderness. He is also the human ancestor of China.

...

After reading the story of "Lei Zu First Silkworm", all the readers sighed in their hearts, it turned out that Lei Zu was also so great.

"Sure enough, it was Leizu who invented sericulture. This is also of great significance, and it can definitely be regarded as benefiting the world."

"Ancestor Lei can definitely be called the great mother of my Chinese nation. She is as admired as Emperor Yan and Huang!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li Fan, for letting us know the story of Leizu, and knowing that during the Yan and Huang period, I still had such a great ancestor of silkworms in China."

"My Chinese culture of myths and legends is really brilliant. It's really fun to watch today."

"And what's more enjoyable is that today's story is not over yet, it's really cool."

"..."

...

Beijing.

Cen Geng and Shen Cong were also very excited.

Cen Geng said excitedly: "The story of 'Leizu's first silkworm' is really important to us. With it, there are many things that we didn't realize before, but it makes sense."

Shen Cong also said: "This time we went to Sansheng Village, and we really went to the right place. Otherwise, I don't know when that kid will launch these works."

Cen Geng laughed and said, "Yes, yes, it's the right time to go."
