Among ancient folk historical stories, what are the stories of Fuxi painting gossip and Shennong tasting a hundred herbs?
The story of Fuxi's painting gossip is as follows:

According to legend, Fuxi's mother, Hua Xushi, went out and accidentally saw a giant's oversized footprint on Razer. Curious Hua Xu measured the giant's footprint with his own footprint and unconsciously became pregnant. Twelve years later, Fuxi was born. Fuxi, like hyacinthus orientalis, was born by the wind and grew into a snake. He guided all people to leave the tree nest and build houses; He taught people to weave nets to catch wild animals, and then kept some wild animals in captivity and turned them into livestock; He taught people to tie knots and remember things, and became the earliest philologist in China. He warned people to give gifts when getting married, and not to "rob the marriage"; He taught people to break wood into a piano and play beautiful music; He also personally observed astronomical geography and bird patterns, and drew eight diagrams, from which China's unique way of balancing Yin and Yang came.

The story of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs is as follows:

Shennong, known as Emperor Yan, is a famous emperor in ancient legends of China. He has a cow head, and he knew his crops when he was three years old. When he grew up, he was eight feet seven inches tall, with a long face and big lips. He invented farm tools with wooden plows, taught people to grow crops, made ceramics and textiles, and used fire, so he was the king of fire, so he was named Emperor Yan and the world number Shennong.

Shennong once traveled across mountains and rivers, tasted all kinds of herbs, looked for good medicine to cure diseases and detoxify, and found more food for people at the same time. He saw lush plants all over the mountain, birds pecking at the fruits on the trees, and wild deer and goats grazing. Shennong thought: Why do people dare not eat so many fruits and plants? So he made up his mind to taste it himself to decide what can and can't be eaten.

Shennong found that some things taste sweet; Some are bitter and astringent; Some things are uncomfortable after eating; Some people have stomachache or dizziness after eating it. He told all the knowledge and experience gained by risking his life to the people of the tribe for everyone to remember. Later, Shennong discovered that the melons and fruits that people loved and spit out germinated the next year, and new plants and melons grew, so he taught people to grow this kind of melons and fruits.

Once, Shennong suffered from acute abdominal pain, intestinal rupture and poisoning because he ate a small yellow flower leaf. Later, people called this grass "heartbroken grass", also called "flame grass". In memory of this ancestor who used Chinese herbal medicine, people respectfully called him "the King of Medicine Bodhisattva".
