Shennong was originally one of Huang San. Once, when he saw a bird holding a seed, he invented grain agriculture. Because of these outstanding contributions, everyone also called him Shennong. Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and was poisoned many times, thanks to tea detoxification. Because he vowed to taste all the grass, and finally died because he tasted the grass. In order to commemorate his kindness and achievements, people regarded him as the God of the King of Medicine, and built the Temple of the King of Medicine, offering sacrifices in four seasons.

According to the Book of Changes, Shennong "takes Japan and China as the market, takes the people of the world and gathers the wealth of the world. After the transaction, it is necessary to retreat and advance, and each has its own place". China-China market invented by Shennong is the origin and cornerstone of monetary and commercial development.
3. Use hemp as cloth, and people wear clothes. Primitive man had no clothes, but covered himself with leaves and animal skins. It was only after Sang Ma of Shennong made cloth and silk that people got clothes, which was a great progress from an ignorant society to a civilized society.
4. Make banjo to entertain people. According to the second edition of Shiben, Shennong invented a musical instrument. He cut tung trees into pianos and weaved silk into strings.
