       Plant Culture:
       A long time ago, there lived a family deep in the mountains. The elder brother and younger sister Huo Xiang depended on each other. Later, after my elder brother got married, he joined the army and was away. There were only two aunts and sisters-in-law in the family. On weekdays, the aunts and sisters-in-law are considerate of each other, go to the fields together every day, and take care of the housework together, and live a peaceful and beautiful life. One summer, the weather was hot and humid day after day, and my sister-in-law suddenly fell ill due to heat stroke due to exhaustion. I saw that she had fever and chills, headache, nausea, fatigue and fatigue, and she was very uncomfortable. Huo Xiang hurriedly helped his sister-in-law to the bed and said, "I'm afraid you have sunstroke. It is not difficult to cure this disease. There are fragrant herbs that can cure this disease on the mountain behind our house. Let me go up the mountain to pick it quickly. Cure your illness as soon as possible." The sister-in-law advised her not to go out because she was young and inconvenient to go out. Huo Xiang ignored it completely and insisted on entering the deep mountain.
       Huo Xiang went there for a whole day, and didn't stumble back home until it was dark. She was holding a small basket of medicinal herbs in her hand, her eyes were staring, her spirit was listless, and she fell to the ground as soon as she entered the door, limp. The sister-in-law hurriedly got out of bed and helped her sit on the bed, and asked why, only to find out that she was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake on her right foot while collecting medicine, and was poisoned by the snake. The sister-in-law immediately became nervous after hearing this, and quickly took off the shoe and sock on Huo Xiang's right foot. There were two rows of snakebite teeth marks on Huo Xiang's feet, his right foot was red and swollen, and even his calf was swollen and thickened. The sister-in-law screamed in surprise, and hugged Huo Xiang's right foot, preparing to suck the poison from the wound with her mouth. But because Huo Xiang was afraid that his sister-in-law would be poisoned, he refused to live or die. When the villagers heard the call for help from the sister-in-law and found the doctor, it was too late.
       The sister-in-law cured the disease with the herbs picked by the sister-in-law, and buried Huo Xiang with the help of the villagers. In order to remember the sister-in-law's feelings, the sister-in-law affectionately called this fragrant herb "Huoxiang", and asked everyone to plant it in front of the house, behind the house, beside the road, so that they can be used at any time. Since then, the reputation of "Huoxiang" grass has spread more and more widely, and many patients with heatstroke have been cured. Because it is a medicinal herb, over time, people added a "grass" head to the prefix of Huo, and wrote Huoxiang as "Huoxiang".
