에서Book of Mountains and Seas of the Warring States Period (476-221 기원전), 연 황제의 어린 딸, 야오지, 그녀가 약초로 변했다는 사실이 이상했다., 야오카오 (Grass of Yao), after she died. A poet from Chu, Song Yu engaged her in the fairy tale love story with a god. The myth eventually made Yaoji the origin of Lingzhi (영지마).

In the Legend of the White Snake, the heroine White Snake went alone to Mt. Emei to steal the celestial herb (i.e., 링지) in order to save her husband’s life.

The love story has become the subject of countless novels, dramas, movies and posters in China (Fig. 1-1).
