Shennong Tastes a Hundred Herbs
传说神农氏亲尝百草，辨药性，教民稼穑，为中医药与农耕神话之祖。全球读者搜 “Shennong / Chinese medicine origin” 时常遇到此故事。宜作文化入门：试验、记录、为众承担风险——非鼓励盲目模仿。
Myth credits Shennong with tasting herbs to learn medicine and teaching agriculture—founder figure for Chinese materia medica lore. English searches for “Shennong” often land here. Teach as cultural story: trial, record, risk for the community—not reckless imitation.
神农尝百草：以身试毒换来药图——知识常付身体代价。不是鼓励蛮试，而是致敬可验证的探索伦理。尝百草的勇气，也要求边界与记录。今日：实验前先问护具与边界：勇气不等于拿自己当小白鼠无度。
Shennong tastes herbs: the body pays for a map of medicine—knowledge often costs flesh. Not reckless trial; honoring testable exploration. Today: before experiment, ask for guards and limits: courage is not endless self-as-guinea-pig.
After the moral, ask one question: if a similar choice showed up today, where does the story snag? Name that tension first—then take your own step. You need not copy the ancients, only borrow their clarity.
