The Fall of Man is a commonly received doctrine of Christianity, founded upon the historical narrative contained in the third chapter of the book of Genesis, together with the allusions to the same matter in other parts of Scripture. In Christian mythology, Adam, having eaten of the forbidden fruit, is said to have fallen; and the relation of mankind in general to this fall is stated by St Paul in the words: 'By one man's disobedience many were made sinners'. Thus, in the fall of Adam, all men are held to have fallen and to have contracted 'original sin,' alienating them from god and rendering them morally inadequate. The doctrine of the fall does not stand alone in Scripture. It is argued by some interpreters that in the original sentence pronounced on the transgressors there is contained the promise of a redemption, and that the whole scope of Scripture is directed to the development of this promise, and of the divine scheme of providence associated with it.

In an effort to help mankind, the farmer god tasted all the plants and taught humans the difference between those that were poisonous and those that were edible. He organised plants into four categories: bland, toxic, cool and hot, this system forming the basis of traditional Chinese medicine. The farmer god also taught mankind how to distinguish between types of soil and terrain. he created a wooden plough and taught man how to till the soil and sow grains.
