Plant Culture of Onion

Folk customs

It is said among the people that ever since Shennong discovered onions while eating hundreds of herbs, onions have become a condiment in our daily diet. Basically all dishes will be seasoned with onions, so onions are also called "peacemaking grass". In many places such as Hepu in Guangxi, there is a saying that eating onions can make you smarter. What this means is that on the night of June 16th of the lunar calendar every year, every family goes to the yard to get some onions for their children to eat, meaning that the children will become smarter in the future.

Interesting Stories

There is also an interesting folk story that says that in ancient times, there was a wealthy man who suffered from a stranguria. He could not urinate and his stomach was very swollen, which made him very uncomfortable. Every time he asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, he would vomit it out after taking it. His family had already started preparing for his funeral. By chance, a quack doctor holding a rattle passed by, and his family quickly invited him in to treat the man. After the diagnosis, the doctor asked someone to get a washed onion and insert it into the man's urethra to help him excrete urine. He also prescribed some medicine. The man was so grateful that he rewarded the doctor handsomely.
