Basic Introduction to Wuliangsi High Green Radish

Wuliangsi High Green Radish is planted in Wuliangsi Township, Shangcai County, and is commonly known as "Gaojiaoqing". It has a long history of cultivation. As early as the Book of Songs, there were records about radishes. Xu Youxiang of the Yuan Dynasty once praised radish, saying, "Cooked food is sweet like taro, and raw food is crispy like pear. During the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen said, "You can cook raw or cooked vegetables, use glutinous rice or soy sauce, use black beans or vinegar, use sugar or wax, or eat rice. You are the most profitable among vegetables. According to the "Ancient Cai Spring and Autumn Annals", the high green radish of Wuliang Temple is not derived from the place name of Wuliang Temple. It is named after Wuliang Temple, just like the place name of Wuliang Temple. The name of Wuliang Temple comes from a poignant legend. Legend has it that the Weaver Girl descended to earth and married the Cowherd. The Queen Mother of Heaven became angry and embarrassed, and sent heavenly soldiers and generals to capture the Weaver Girl and bring her back to the heavenly court, causing the couple to be separated. The weaver girl was taken away by the heavenly soldiers and generals, while the cowherd chased after her with their child. Along the way, they reunited, cried together, and were separated by a lake before finally leaving, which was heartbreaking and heart wrenching. Chasing all the way to the place where the separation passed, it was named symbolically by the people at that time to commemorate. The names of Chongqu (Reunion) Township in Xiping County, Wuliangsi (Wuniang Temple) Temple in Wuliangsi Township of Shangcai County, Qikuaidian (Qiwailian) Village, and Wanglianhu (Wangniang Lake) Village are derived from this. The former name of Wuliang Temple is unknown, and the temple has undergone many years of evolution from "Wuniang Temple" to the current "Wuliang Temple". The connection between Wuliang Temple's tall green radish and Buddha was also accidental. It is said that he is a Buddha, but in reality, he is a high monk. Monks eat vegetarian food and do not eat meat. The monks of Wuliang Temple not only give alms to their neighbors, but also grow some grains and vegetables, including radishes. At that time, the high monks of Baigui Temple (now located in Taqiao Township, Shangcai County, named after Fuxi Yarrow Grass and White Turtle Painting Bagua) came to Wuliang Temple to preach and teach. One day, leisurely walking in the plowing area, they saw the tall and green radishes planted in the temple. The monks enjoyed eating them raw, and the high monks tasted them. The entrance was crisp and sweet, and the mouth and tongue were moist; Buddha's hand on the chest: "Amitabha Buddha, apples, pears, Buddha is like the radish skin of your temple. The words of the eminent monk spread like wildfire, and the people of ten miles and eight villages sought the seeds of temple radishes and successfully planted them. The reputation of "Wuliang Temple High Green Radishes" also spread throughout the villages and towns, praised by people, and has continued to thrive to this day. Although it is a legend, its excellent quality has contributed to the famous and distinctive agricultural product of Wuliangsi High Green Radish with a long history today. In the "Shangcai County Annals", it was once commented that "eating apples and pears is not as good as the radish skin of Wuliang Temple".
