Paiwan aborigines regard Chenopodium album in Taiwan Province Province as [ruby in grain], which is unique to Taiwan Province Province and contains three times as much dietary fiber as oats. Ge Mengjie, an assistant professor in the Department of Life Sciences of Kaohsiung University, extracted substances such as Escherichia coli from it and found that it is rich in antioxidant enzymes, which can scavenge intracellular free radicals, reduce blood lipids and prevent aging and cardiovascular diseases.

Ge Mengjie came into contact with aboriginal culture from the university, and then fell in love with it. Later, he married Princess Paiwan. When he assisted his aboriginal friends in the plant classification of Chenopodium album in Taiwan Province Province, he found that Chenopodium album in Taiwan Province Province is a treasure from beginning to end, which not only has strong environmental adaptability, but also can be harvested in about 2 months.

He cooperated with the Forest Service to develop natural antibacterial handmade soap extracted from Chenopodium album in Taiwan Province Province. Shampoo, health food and other products, and gradually transfer the extraction technology to paiwan and Lu Kai tribes hit hard by the flood in 1988, such as Laiyi Township, Majia Township and Wutai Township in Pingtung County, to help them stand up again with the gift of God and the wisdom of their ancestors.

Oats are popular because of their dietary fiber, which can strengthen the stomach and reduce blood fat. However, research by Cai Biren, a professor of food science at Gehe University, shows that Chenopodium album in Taiwan Province Province contains three times as much dietary fiber as oats, and is rich in many kinds of high-quality protein and important vitamins, so it is regarded as [ruby in grain] by Paiwan aborigines.

Ge Mengjie pointed out that Chenopodium album is very common among aboriginal tribes in Taiwan Province Province. Because it contains two amylase activities, it is very suitable for making bread or fermented wine, and it is an important food crop for aborigines. The whole plant of Chenopodium album in Taiwan Province Province turns into auspicious and lovely red when it matures, which is an indispensable decorative accessory for important celebrations such as Aboriginal Harvest Festival. In the future, it can also be developed to replace Christmas red as the seasonal flower for Christmas and Lunar New Year, build a unique plant culture industry belonging to the hometown of Taiwan Province Province, and help the tribe to regenerate.
