Legend has it that during the mid-Tang Dynasty, an imperial prince was born on Guizi Mountain, and the Jinshui River served as a moat. The rice paddies irrigated with water from the Jinshui River produced rice that yielded sticky, richly aromatic, deliciously fresh, and refreshing grains that greatly stimulated the appetite. Long-term consumption was said to lead to immortality, earning it the elegant nickname “Water Osmanthus Immortal” from locals. It was later served in the imperial prince’s royal meals.
