On 3 june 1839, the day of the eternal history of china and the world began with the death of the tiger, who played the positive song of the chinese people in their resistance to foreign aggression and wrote the most spectacular instrument in the history of human drug control. Looking back at the history of more than 180 years ago, opium was initially used only as a drug, and how was it subsequently abused and turned into a drug? What harm did opium do to then chinese society? How did lin, in times of national distress, carry out a smoke ban campaign in guangdong? What's the meaning and impact of the smoke? From the question mark, let's go into the sound of the museum "story of the tigers"
Speech
I am wang joon-woo, a lecturer at the opium war museum, and i would like to join us in the voice of the third episode of the museum, "the story of the tiger's smoke-smoking story", “the cultivation of opium poppy in china”。
Poppy can adapt to different types of soil and can grow in high altitudes and tropical areas. Poppy is an annual or two-year-old herbivorous plant planted in the northern region in the spring, in april-may of each year, to harvest by autumn. The southern part of china, like india, sows every winter。
After the fall of the poppy petals, the poaching fruit is cut off to collect the juice when it is not fully mature and is still green. It's a wide-boiled egg, and because of the different origin, it's different in size, and it's bigger than a duck egg in a good field, and it's smaller than an egg. The harvester usually cuts the hyenas at night, and the next morning, he takes the fluid from it with a razor and puts it in a pot full of seed oil. Over the next three or five days, they will cut their mouths on hyenas in succession, and when the juice collected becomes thicker in contact with air, they will form solid opium once the juice drys. Because of differences in origin and quality, opium colours and shapes are different, and colours are black or dark brown, which is smoke in people's mouths。
When did the poppy come to china? What is its history in china
During the tang dynasty, arabs took the opium-containing “dyga” to china
The cultivation of opium poppy in china begins with tangmotograss. The book refers to “the bottom line” in the first half of the seventh century a. D., the tang dynasty, where arab messengers contributed “the bottom line”. The term “depolyga” is a combination of opium poppy, which, strictly speaking, is a combination of opium, but not pure opium. In addition to that, the arab messenger had also brought seeds of opium poppy, at a time when the chinese had begun to plant opium poppy。
The main ingredient of "demega"
By the end of the seventh century and the beginning of the eighth century, opium poppy had formed small-scale cultivation in the country, and by the ninth century opium poppy cultivation had begun in the han and chengdu basins. Because of the ferocious nature of opium poppy, the people of tang dynasty began to plant opium poppy as a viewing flower。
North song, zhao chang
At song dynasty, chinese people had a better understanding of opium poppy. The chinese doctor began to use it to treat the patients, while the civilian population also began to boil the porridge with opium poppy, known as the “compensation”. At kim dynasty, chinese doctors began to use opium poppy to treat patients with cough and as an anti-laxative drug. For generations to come, opium poppy can be used to treat the disease and has the effect of containing the gas。
Ming dynasty, according to dr. Lee su-jin's " programme of action " , chinese knowledge of opium poppy is still covered by medicine. At that time, the south-east asian region began to make opium poppy into opium for the chinese emperor as an object of tribute. Because opium is an addictive substance, it has also become an important commodity imported by foreign countries into china. With the increase in the number of opium addicts, the smokers of chiang dynasty began to smoke opium, and with the scourge of tobacco and drugs, finally became a social problem in china at that time, humiliating and devastating an ancient and civilized country。
This is where today's story is shared, and we would like to continue to focus on the sound of the museum, "the story of the tigers."。
