Mulberry, Cosmological symbolism abounds from solar and lunar associations from ancient China. There mentions of the use of all parts from bark, tree,and roots, but by far the fruit bud would be the best for a wildcrafted food. The dried fruit is delicious, abundant and easily dried for storage making it a quintessential macrobiotic food packed with nutrients and with a long medicinal heritage. Adepts take the plant as their name frequently, such as Sangzi “the Mulberry master” or Zhangsang jun, “Lord Elder Mulberry” as well as masters of mulberry groves. The famous quest for the plant of Immortality, sought by Chhen Shih Huang might have been for a type of mulberry. The Chin Lou Tzu (Book of the Golden Hall Master):On the magical island of the Shen-chou there grows the herb of immortality (pussu chih tshao) new sprouts of which come up in great abundance. People who have been dead for some time rise again if this herb is strewn upon them. In the time of Chhin Shih Huang Ti many people in the Ferghana (Ta-Yuan) died unjustly, but certain birds looking crows took this herb in their bills and dropped it on the groud so as to cover them, whereupon the dead immediately sat up. Shih Huang Ti sent someone to enquire of Kuei Ku who dwelt by the northern city wall, and the (answer) came that on Tan-Chou,another magical island, in the Eastern Sea the herb of immortality grew in beautiful fields. It was on hearing this that Chhin Shih Huang Ti sent Hsu Fu to sea to look for certain golden and jade-like vegetables and also a tree producing mulberries one inch across. Thus did the Chhin emperor send Hsu Fu to search for the mulberry (sang jen)in he midst of the blue sea. There grew the fu-sang mulberry tree several tunes ten thousand feet high. There was a pair of them supporting each other; hence the name “mutually supporting mulberry fu-sang.” The immortals ate the mulberries, their bodies gave out a golden glow, and they flew in and out of the Palace of the Primal Vitality.*
