According to legend, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a monk in Tanshan Temple presented a rough Gu Mi to his relatives in Beijing, which coincided with the birth of the Queen Mother. Due to excessive blood loss, sallow and emaciated, the condition is serious. One day, the queen shouted, "Golden Soup …" So the imperial palace officials searched around the capital. A court official happened to meet the mother of a monk's relative, who was carrying a big bowl of "coarse rice soup" to her daughter-in-law who was confinement. The yellow robe official asked the old woman, "What soup is this?" The old woman replied: "Golden soup". The official was overjoyed, so he spent a lot of money to let "Rough Gu Mi" make soup. The queen saw the "golden soup", drank several bowls, fell asleep peacefully and soon recovered. Later, it was discovered that this kind of rice was produced in Qinzhou, and Emperor Jiajing wrote a letter to Qinzhou, and named it "Rough Gu Mi" as a tribute.
