Introduction:

Alias poppy millet, hibiscus, royal rice, elephant valley, rice bag, bag and warbler millet.

Native to Asia Minor, India and Iran. There is a small amount of cultivation in parts of China. Poppy is a biennial herb of Papaveraceae. The whole plant is pink green, and the leaves and stems are oval; Summer flowers, solitary, big and gorgeous, red, purple and white, open upward. Flowers fall early, bear spherical capsules and have tiny and numerous seeds.

Chinese medicine uses poppy shell as medicine, and the prescription is also called "imperial rice husk" or "poppy shell". Harvest after "cutting tobacco" in summer, remove pedicels and seeds, dry in the sun, and fry with vinegar or honey for later use. Seeds contain 50% oil and can be used to extract oil.

Papaver shell tastes sour and toxic, and contains more than 30 alkaloids such as morphine, codeine, narcotine and papaverine. It is an analgesic, antitussive and antidiarrheal drug, which is used for chronic cough due to lung deficiency, various pains in chest and abdomen and chronic diarrhea. It is also used for nocturnal emission and nocturnal emission caused by kidney deficiency.

There is milk in poppy fruit, which is "opium" after being cut dry. Containing 10% morphine and other alkaloids, it can relieve the spasm of smooth muscle, especially vascular smooth muscle, and inhibit myocardium, and is mainly used for angina pectoris, arterial embolism and other diseases. However, taking it for a long time is easy to be addicted and chronically poisoned, which is seriously harmful to the body, and it has become the "opium ghost" that people often say. If it is serious, it will die of breathing difficulties. Therefore, poppy cultivation is strictly controlled in China, and it is prohibited except for medical research.

Legend:

In ancient Egypt, poppies were called "divine flowers". In order to express their praise for the poppy, the ancient Greeks asked Gu Si, the goddess in charge of agriculture, to hold a poppy in her hand.

In Europe, poppy is regarded as a "flower of remembrance". 19 14 When World War I broke out, the Germans quickly occupied Belgium, and Britain and France successively sent troops to deal with Germany. Belgian Flanders became the main battlefield of the western front, and Ippel was in ruins. Millions of innocent soldiers (including junior officers) fell here for the benefit of the ruling class and militants. Among them, the British were killed the most, and they were buried under this land. Flanders used to be a place where poppies were in full bloom, and it has flourished ever since.

Later, American Monia Michael began to wear poppies to commemorate the fallen soldiers. She also sells poppies to help disabled veterans. Later, Mrs. E.Guerin of France also sold handmade poppies to raise money for poor children in war-torn areas. She visited Canada in 192 1 and persuaded the Canadian War Veterans Association (now the Royal Canadian Veterans Association) to accept poppy as a symbol of Veterans' Day to raise funds. Therefore, from the last Friday of June 65438+ 10 to the Veterans Day of June 65438+ 10+1 0/,millions of poppy signs were distributed to the public. People wear this sign on the left collar of clothes or near the heart to express their condolences to those who died for their country. People can even buy poppies to help veterans and their families who need help.

Therefore, the poppy, which symbolizes beauty, despair and drugs, has a theme of sacrifice, love, respect and memory.

In the Battle of Flanders, a Canadian military doctor named John McCrae buried the body of his friend Alexis Helmer here after World War I and witnessed the tragic situation of the battlefield. Afterwards, unable to restrain his sadness and excitement, he wrote the following poem on a piece of paper:

Poppies are in full bloom in the fields of Flanders.

Between the crosses, in rows,

Mark our position; In the sky

Larks are still singing and flying bravely.

You can hardly hear it in the gunfire below.

We are dead. A few days ago

We live, feel the dawn and watch the sunset glow,

Loved and loved, and now we are lying.

In Flanders.

Pick up our quarrel with the enemy:

Throw it to you from our failed hands

Torch; Holding it high is yours.

If you break your word to us dead people,

We won't sleep,

Although poppies are growing

In Flanders.

19 18, John mcrae died of typhoid fever in Flanders. This poem entitled "In the fields of Flanders" (formerly known as "We shouldn't sleep") was widely circulated in the form of folk songs in the front lines of Europe and the rear areas of North America, and everyone who heard it was deeply moved by it. To commemorate the author and his poem, the Canadian Mint printed the first paragraph of this poem on the Canadian ten-dollar bill.
