Friends who have watched costume dramas believe that they have heard of the poison of Crane Top Red. It was called the King of Poison in ancient times, and many palace nobles would use this poison to eliminate some people who hindered their great cause, which was very cruel. But many people see this and are a little curious, how toxic is this crane top red? Figure it out today! Let's take a look at it now!
When many people see this crane-crowned red, they will automatically think of the red-crowned crane as an animal, and think that its composition comes from the red on the head of the red-crowned crane. After all, in the eyes of the ancients, they generally felt that the more bright the color, the more toxic it was, so they also had a prejudice against the red-crowned crane. But in fact, this statement is no scientific basis, with the continuous progress and development of modern science and technology, some experts said that the chemical composition of Hedinghong is actually very simple, that is, arsenic trioxide. After it is processed, it is what we know as arsenic.
The reason why the crane top red is red and the arsenic is white is mainly related to the refining technology. We all know that all aspects of ancient technology are relatively backward, so they can't show its purity well when refining, and the last thing that comes out is the red crystalline crane top red. Grinding it into powder becomes a deadly poison. As the technology becomes more and more mature, the purity of the refining is getting higher and higher, and it becomes a white arsenic.
In general, crane top red and arsenic are both poisons of the same ingredient, and the two are only the difference in refining purity. And this poison has nothing to do with the red-crowned crane, it is silently carried for a long time. I don't know if the friends understand now, do you still know which deadly poisons were in ancient times?
