FARMER GOD

In Chinese mythology, the farmer god took pity on humans who were suffering illnesses as a result of eating poisonous plants and drinking contaminated water.

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.
