When the opium poppy entered china and began to grow extensively, it was said that fighting continued. There are those who take the poems as evidence, and those who insist that the tang dynasty is really open, and there are more than a hundred gaps between them than anyone can convince。
It's a record of the six-strikes
Tao hong-gang, a south korean medical practitioner, introduced the phrase "discretion of the intestines" in "the accelerator", suggesting that opium poppy had been recognized at the time. Li bai then quotes this phrase, which compares the poppy with the florist by comparing it to the florist, which is now the end of the line. According to the alias "founding flowers", there were already a special poppy plant in the six decades, but on a very small scale。
The nightingale also notes that the author had written the four poems of li bai into a small seal, which shows that they were widely circulated in the community of men and women. However, six historical books have been published, and there is little record of large-scale poppy cultivation, and more of it is a sighting of a civilian desk, which is far from "planted"。
Poppy in don dynasty
In 667 a. D., the qin empire, the eastern roman empire, sent to tang's dynasty a drug called "dieoga."OpiumIt treats dysentery and all kinds of poisoning. During the same period, arab businessmen brought poppy seeds into china along the silk road, and testing began in parts of the country. That is why some scholars say that opium poppy is imported from tang dynasty, a judgement that is actually late。
Poppy flowers are well documented in this grass-picking: four leaves, red and white, with light red and light red on them, and fruit-shell shapes like arrows, with fine rice seeds. This suggests that the morphological observation of opium poppy by the tang dynasty has been fine. However, the cultivation of opium poppy was purely a matter of flowers and drugs, and was completely different from the subsequent consumption of opium。
The tang dynasty
In tang wen zong, guo qiancheng wrote in the tree book about how to plant poppy: "since september 9th and the middle fall night, the flowers must be big and the children full. " means that the flowers were blooming and the fruits were full during the night of september 9 and mid-autumn. This time window indicates that the planting cycle was standardized at the time, not just seeding, but experienced farming techniques。
The poet zhutao wrote "the west to the gorge", "across the pits, the land of hirankawa is home, the sorrows are over today and the rice bouquets are first seen in the horse." the rice pellets are poppy. He went out of his rampage and entered the plains of the passage, and saw a large area of opium poppy blooming, abated, and felt like he was home。
The opium poppy in the song dynasty
When song was in this place, ko zong-chun wrote, "phoppy rice is cold, edible, and the bladders move. "doctor wang qi gave a specific formula in " one-hundred-one-hundred " : "took the poppy shells to the ground, make the rice pills, treat the white diarrhea and eat 30 pills. Soo-chul wrote "boys can fry the soup" to show that the song dynasty used the potion as a daily medicine。
The so-called poppy sapling poem is even more elaborate: spring seedlings eat as spring food, autumn seeds are better than autumn valleys, culinary milk is boiled into porridge, and old people drink it to keep their stomachs and lungs and mouths and throats. The resting of the pedagogues and monks at the time showed that opium poppy was already a multi-purpose drug in song dynasty and covered by diarrhea。
A warning from the hospital
In his post, yuan dynasty's famous doctor zhu zhu zheng zhu zheng spoke quite frankly: people now cough with poppy husks, and use it to stop the diarrhea. "it's urgent to stop the disease, kill people like swords, and stop it." it means that the effects are strong, but the side effects are deadly and must be used with caution. Unfortunately, no one has taken that seriously, and there are already people who are already eating opium。
However, the opium consumed by won-gong was not produced by china itself, but by the spoils of war looted from mongolia during its military expedition to india and elsewhere. At that time, the opium was scarce and circulating in the palace and in the army. In china, opium poppy cultivation in mainland china has not significantly expanded in yuan dynasty, mainly with regard to medicine and sightings, and the large-scale entry of opium into china is still a matter of later。
Ming dynasty's opium tax
Lee tsai-jin wrote about the method of opium extraction in this draft: when the opium poppy was luminous, three or five needles were placed on the clitoris after noon, and the following morning, it was scraped down the fluid and collected into the china dry. But it's basically hearsay. At that time, most of the opium in china had been imported from abroad, and the acord had documented that thailand, java, malacca and other places often paid ming dynasty。
In thailand, 300 pounds of opium were added at a time. Imports are still limited during the years of transformation, with market prices similar to gold. Imports later increased, with a formal tax on opium in forty-three years or 1615, and a sum of three cents for every ten pounds. This tax indicates that there were no more wealthy owners of opium on the south-east coast at that time。
The role of opium poppy has changed for more than a thousand years, from the first flower in the six koreas to the collection of opium tax in ming dynasty. Where do you think it went from flower to poison? Please leave a message about your judgement and forward it to your friend, who is also checking the data, if you find it useful。
