Mithos raised his hand again and said "He was the legendary originator of Chinese herbal medicine, Professor. He also developed grain agriculture."

Claire raised her hand, "Shen Nong is a legendary emperor who it is claimed taught the Chinese people how to cultivate farmland. He is credited with teaching them how to sow grains, to observe the land to learn where was fertile farm land, inventing the plough and cart, taming the ox and yoking the horse. Sometimes he is drawn with the head of an ox.
His other renowned contribution is that he was the first practitioner of traditional Chinese herbal medicine. The legend is that he tasted hundreds of herbs to test and analyse their effects. He determined which were medicines and what they should be used for, and which were poisons, and taught this to the people." she added.

adam notes down every thing that was said

Amber Joy raised her hand again" He is also recognized for tasting hundreds of herbs and noting their medicinal properties. It is said that he tasted over 70 herbs in one day."

Professor Virohsa nodded. "Yes Nabiya and David, however, g_g has already added that point", she replied. "Very interesting Amber! 3 pts for Ravenclaw", she replied.

David raised his hand and said ''He was made the god of plants, agriculture and herbal medicine''

Kay raised her hand. "Shennong is a legendary emperor and culture hero of Chinese mythology who taught the ancients the practices of agrigulture. He is credited with identifying hundreds of medicinal and poisonous herbs by personally testing their properties, which was crucial towards the development of Traditional Chinese medicine. Tea, which acts as an antidote after being poisoned by some seventy herbs, is also said to be his discovery. "

Rachel smiled and whispered back to Falas, "Hello, no I don't mind!" Rachel was glad she was sitting next to someone she knew.

"Shennong was also credited by identifying hundreds of medicinal and poisonous herbs by personally testing their properties" Christy answered

Serilda copied down everything she heard; she was a very good listener.

Jessica raised her hand. "Well, i've heard that he's best known for his knowledge of herbs, drugs and medicine, and that he single-handedly tasted each and every plant in China to see what was good and what would kill you. I've also heard that he has a transparent stomach, which came in handy for seeing what all those plants were doing to his insides" She chimed in.

adam kept writting everything down thats was said

Lo raised her hand, happy to know she had something to contribute. "I think I also heard he was one of the first to teach Herbology in Asia. She then turned and smiled at Rachel. She needed to talk to her, but she had to wait until class was done.

Haefalaswen was furiously taking notes, scared that she was going to miss something. This turned out to be quite hard but she liked it.

Kalaya wasn't sure of this answer so she just wrote down some notes on what they already knew. She was upset, however, that Hufflepuff hadn't gotten points for the question about when it could be traced to. Christy had said 2700 B.C.! She shrugged it off, it wasn't any use to argue with the professor, and if someone did it should be Christy.
Instead she waited for an answer to be finalized and searched her memory for any contribution she could make.

Rachel wrote down everything as fast as lightning. She sighed. She was usually very quick with answers, but alas, this was the first time she had taken Herbology....

Thinking this was interesting Mithos raised his hand "He only taught people agriculture because in those days people would only eat meat and there weren't enough animals so people began to eat herbs..."

Nabiya raised her hand once more, "He wrote a book called the Shen Nong Ben Cao, which was the first materia medica to be published in China. It is the oldest record of Chinese medicinals used in China, and contains 300 chinese medicinals."

pauline started writing what the proffeosr had said.

*scribles on the parchement of what is said*

Aaliyah wote imprtaint thing down occaisionally she looked around the room and saw heads 2 inches from papers the other students were working harder then she is she sighed and picked up her book ....

Natisia was listening carefully to what students and prof. Virosha were saying and was taking down notes as fast as she could

Professor Virohsa, "Ah, grain agriculture. Now that's something, huh?", she nodded. "3 pts for Ravenclaw", she added.

Professor Virohsa nodded. "And that is something that you will all be doing here! So pay attention because in my classes we focus a lot in poisons", she added with a smirk. "4 pts to Hufflepuff!"

Professor Virohsa nodded. "Ah 70 herbs? Don't worry dears", she addressed the surprised look of some students. "You will not be tasting that many", she replied. "But yes, that is correct. 3 pts for Ravenclaw".

"That is usually an interesting muggle myth", she nodded. "But I will give you 2 pts nevertheless", she said as she turned to hear what the other students were saying.

Professor Virohsa nodded, "Yes, he was known as a culture hero", she added. "3 pts for Ravenclaw".

Professor Virohsa looked at the child and listened intently. "I am afraid I have not heard about that interesting muggle myth. Yet, it is interesting nonetheless."

Professor Virohsa nodded. "3 pts for Hufflepuff", she added.

Professor Virohsa nodded. "3 pts for Ravenclaw", she added.

"Well, I think we can proceed with our lesson. During the Ming Dynasty, a book was published containing valuable information about herbology. What was its name?", she asked the class.
