Flax, known as "Xianjia food" since ancient times, has many beautiful legends and praises. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Hanming, Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao, two people from Yong County, Zhejiang Province, got lost in collecting herbs in Tiantai Mountain, and met two fairies, who invited them to dinner at home with catkins. As a result, they rejuvenated and lived forever. When they returned to their hometown after half a year, the scenery in their hometown was completely different, and their descendants had been bred for seven generations. "How many times a meal of sesame seeds is spring" has become a much-told story for later generations. This is only a legend, of course, but flax does have a good medical and health care function, and its role in strengthening the body and prolonging life can not be underestimated. According to historical records, in 1 19 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian as a special envoy to the western regions for the second time, and introduced flax seeds, which were first planted in Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi and Shanxi, and then gradually developed to Ningxia and other places.
