No matter in the east or the west, there is a saying that evil women are always beautiful. I'm not sure if this is true or not. But I know that the flowers of evil are always beautiful. Among the evil and beautiful flowers in the world, the most famous are poppy and Datura. In China, there are two kinds of Romance. One is non-toxic, commonly known as camellia. It is said that the northern army holds camellia in its hands, and its manners are myriad and wonderful, so the world also calls camellia a flower. Today, we saw "Roman 18th Pavilion" in Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden, from which its name came. Camellia is one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Today, when we mention "Romance Flower", most people will think it is another name for Camellia. This title is well known to all women and children. Thanks to the "Eight Dragons", the great influence of Jin Daxia in the Chinese world can be seen. Of course, these are beside the point. Today we are going to talk about the poisonous Datura flower. Corresponding to Taoist legend in Camellia, Romance Flower also has its Buddhist view. Buddha said, "A flower and a world, a leaf and a Buddha." The small universe model of Tibetan Buddhism is called "Roman". Anyone who has traveled to Tibet will be attracted by the splendid murals and Thangka there, but he doesn't know that many of them are microscopic cosmic models-"Roman", also known as Bodhisattva Dojo. Later, people also called this flower "Roman", perhaps because they noticed that its beautiful petal broken line had a winding path with the geometric lines in the universe model diagram. As for why both Taoism and Buddhism have the saying "Roman", is there any origin between them? This is beyond my ability to explain, so I'd better leave it to people of insight to answer. It is not surprising that Roman's leaves are fat and green, and his whole body stinks slightly. Beauty lies in its flowers. Roman's flowers are slender and white. It is bluish white when it first blooms, yellow white when it fades, and it droops slightly, just like a wind chime. Menlo belongs to Solanaceae and occupies a very important position in botany. It produces many species that are important to human beings, such as belladonna, tobacco, eggplant, tomato and potato. Solanaceae plants seem to contain wonderful chemicals. For example, mandolin, atropine in belladonna, nicotine in tobacco, pungent quality in pepper, solanine in germinated potato, and even the worst eggplant and tomato can all be used to repel mosquitoes. If the discovery of eggplant, tomato, pepper and potato has affected people's diet and the discovery of tobacco has affected people's hobbies, then Roman's discovery has affected people's life because of its toxicity. Shennong Hundred Herbs Classic says: "This flower is poisonous, so you can drink it after a while." "Compendium of Materia Medica" said: "This flower seed is poisonous and used as anesthetic. According to legend, this flower makes people laugh when they smile; It's dancing, making wine and drinking. If you try, you have to get half drunk, laugh or dance, which is also a test. "Atropine is the main toxic component in Datura stramonium. 10mg can cause poisoning, which can lead to increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, anxiety, talkativeness, hallucinations, etc., and eventually coma or even death. A legend about Monroe is widely circulated in our hometown. During the Cultural Revolution, a handsome boy from the north of the team came to our village on the Vietnamese border to investigate. The hostess of the house where he is stationed is good at tricks. There is a local custom that the more foreigners whose families are killed, the more prosperous they will be. The hostess put a method made of romance flowers in the fried glutinous rice. At that time, when the unsuspecting daughter poured wine for the guests, she found that the young man's brow was faintly red. She secretly shouted in her heart and asked what her mother had done to him. Mother's answer is romance. Is it red or white? Mom's answer is red. The daughter cried. There are two ways to pay dividends. The white one can be saved, but the red fairy can't. The foolish mother didn't realize that her daughter fell in love with the young man in the north until her daughter died after adopting the red method of double suicide. It was half a year before the Revolutionary Committee investigated the matter and the story spread. No one dares to go down and station in this village. If the young man died because he won Roman, then Cao Cao died because he didn't win Roman. Cao Cao suffered from migraine at that time, so he asked Hua Tuo to treat him. Hua tuo advocated craniotomy to remove the worms in the brain, otherwise it could not be cured. Cao Cao was suspicious, didn't take Hua Tuo's advice, and finally died of a recurrence of headache. What does Hua Tuo rely on as an anesthetic for craniotomy? Disperse by boiling marijuana. What is the most important medicine of Mafeisan? It's Monroe. Next, let's talk about the story of Roman saving lives. During the Cultural Revolution, this story still happened in our hometown. A militia escorted a rightist to a nearby commune for criticism. On the way, the militia found a nest of mushrooms, which he collected to prepare a delicious meal that day. The Rightists warned him that fungus was poisonous, so don't eat it indiscriminately. Of course, he ignored it. Then something really happened. All the militiamen who ate mushroom soup were poisoned at the trial. Barefoot doctors are at a loss about this. Just as everyone was in a hurry to send those people to the big hospital in the county, the Rightists asked Roman to make thick soup for the poisoned people, and soon all those people woke up. Of course, the criticism meeting was cancelled, and a few days later, the Rightists were released in advance and returned to the city to "make meritorious deeds." Roman not only saved the life of the militia, but also saved the rest of the right wing. Why is Menlo poisonous but can save lives? This has to start with acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is one of the most important chemicals in human body, which is responsible for information transmission between neurons. For example, acetylcholine is like a truck that is responsible for transporting information on the neural highway. When there are no other toxins in the human body, the truck is driven by the driver of the human body, so the number and speed of trucks are arranged safely and reasonably. Some alkaloids are similar to enemy agents found on trucks. There are two types: one is atropine, which pushes truck drivers out of the car, but they can't drive either; Another kind, such as pilocarpine and oxymatrine, not only robbed the driver's car, but also drove the truck on the nerve highway. When the two members met, the van was full of excitement. Atropine pushed pilocarpine and toxine out of the truck, and at this time, the original driver of the human body could take the opportunity to drive the truck again, and the nerve highway resumed normal operation. In the above story, the militia was poisoned by poison, and Roman's atropine was only its antidote. From this point of view, there is some truth in the saying of "fighting poison with poison" in martial arts novels. So everything has two sides. Monroe's toxicity is like a double-edged sword, which means not only death but also redemption. There is a famous saying in Murphy's Law: Never use lead to do what gold can do. This statement is very philosophical. The result of using money as contradictory lubricant is always much better than using lead as bullet. I also created a thinking rule here: what can be done with tomatoes must never be done with mandolin. Tomatoes are sour and sweet, and everyone likes them. There is no need for people to poison each other with Datura unless you want to treat me with craniotomy. But then again, Roman can only poison people, but what really poisons people's hearts is the "evil" in human nature. There are many stories about romance, but my article has to end, so let's call it a day! In my opinion, those legends about Roman and life and death, love and hate, desire and conspiracy, betrayal and conquest, besides legends, should almost constitute a history of human society.
