The strategy was recognized by the defendant Hue, when the dog went to the bridge, the sue Hue early sent ninety-nine strong warriors to guard the bridge, they knocked the dog down to the Tianhe River, they thought the Tianhe River is wide and deep, the dog is only one way to die. But they never thought, the dog fell into the sky river after hurrying to the tail high exposed to the water, the cost of nine oxen and two tigers strength, swim across the sky river back, the tail is also stained with nine grain seed. Sue Lau has a grain seed, quickly plowed and withdrawn the seed, to the ancient calendar June 6 this day, the tip of the seedling extracted a string of dog tail like the ears of grain, a month later, the golden ears of grain ripened. On the 13th day of the 7th month of the ancient calendar, it was the day of obtaining grain seeds for a year, and on this day, Sue Law picked nine liters of grain and cooked a big pot of fragrant white rice. He scooped up three large bowls for the dogs to eat before tasting the new one himself. The rest of the grain seeds were sown year after year, so that all the people ate white rice.
