Shennong learned from his teacher, Chisongzi, the various ways to consume lingzhi mushrooms and the techniques for doing so, as well as the methods by which ingesting lingzhi could dispel illness and prolong life. Enduring the constant risk of poisoning, Emperor Yan Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, discerned their medicinal properties, and taught others how to use them to cure ailments.
However, given the sheer abundance of medicinal herbs, many of them are toxic. Shennong tasted all kinds of plants, and as a result, poisoning was a frequent occurrence. The Huainanzi, in its “Xiuwu Xun” chapter, records: “Shennong…tasted the flavors of a hundred herbs…and in a single day encountered seventy poisons.”
So, once poisoning occurs, how did Shennong neutralize it? Primarily through the use of lingzhi.
