"Reading will precipitate your wisdom", everything in the universe is full of truths.
Compared to the vast universe, human beings can only be counted as dust.
We think we are powerful, we know everything, we solve the mysteries of the world, and we begin to be complacent.
We have never fully grasped the splendor of this world, and in front of any situation, we should maintain a pious attitude towards new things and new knowledge to learn Xi.
Keep the anticipation of learning Xi new things.
When we were children, we looked up at the starry sky and talked about our ideals, but when we grew up, we could only choose reality for a few taels of silver.
We often put our minds back to the way they were.
I think of the beauty of my childhood and the tenderness of my hometown.
When you talk about the land in your rural hometown, you may think of the reeds that fill the lake, or you may think of the bunches of "sausage" grass.
These plants are no strangers to children who grew up in the countryside, and they are partners who have grown up "dealing with" since childhood.
But few people know what it actually does, and the miraculous effects are revealed below.
What is the "sausage" grass
This "sausage" is not another "sausage".
When you read this name, perhaps most people's first reaction is the food sausage we are familiar with.
But in fact, this "sausage" is another name for a plant.
So what exactly is it?
Sausage grass is also known as cattail.
This is the national norm, but some regions also use their own dialect to express it, so it is also called water candle and pu baocao.
Perhaps this kind of introduction is not intuitive enough.
It reminds you of it in your childhood memories for a moment.
Cattail grass is a rare practical plant with a wide range of uses and convenience for people's lives.
Cattails are raw aquatic or swampy herbaceous plants.
It only needs to be grown where there is water, and it doesn't need to be carefully cared for.
The requirements for water quality are not high, and it can be described as "good feeding" in the real sense.
It is a perennial deciduous plant that loves warmth, so it generally grows in southern regions.
The winter temperature in the north is relatively low, which is not suitable for the growth requirements of cattail grass.
In the humid and hot summer, it is the peak season for the growth of cattail grass, and at this time, the cattail grass can even grow to a height of nearly two meters.
As soon as a person walks in, he is almost invisible.
I believe that friends who grew up in the countryside must have played the game of hide and seek in it.
It is a natural "hiding place".
Native to Southeast Asia, due to the tropical monsoon climate of Southeast Asia, it is very suitable for the growth of this plant.
Therefore, Southeast Asia is almost all over the country, and the southwest region of the mainland also involves more land for this plant.
Due to his appearance, he resembles a sausage.
Therefore, it is also named sausage grass, and its hairy fruit is softer.
With a gentle pull of the hand, the whole "sausage" will turn into cotton-like flying flocculents, flying into the air and scattered all over the place.
What are the benefits of sausage grass?
This sausage grass is not just a simple ornamental plant.
It has practical value and is almost full of treasures.
It has a great impact on human life and can be used in all aspects, in three major ways.
One is its edible aspect, the stems of sausage grass can be used as food ingredients.
Due to its erect stems and leaves, the inner neck stores more juice.
Therefore, the sausage grass tastes smooth and tender, and there are many ways to make it, which can be stir-fried, steamed, and cold-dressed.
The food is not toxic and does not require special treatment.
Can be used as you please, sausage grass has a long history of existence on the mainland.
As early as the Tang Dynasty, it was found to be eaten.
In the classical books, you can also find relevant records of the taste of sausage grass making, "Pucai delicacies are the best in the world, and they are the only one in ancient and modern China and abroad".
This sentence is to praise the taste of sausage grass is fresh and sweet, which is comparable to the world's delicacies.
In addition, sausage grass is rich in protein and vitamins.
It is helpful to human health, and long-term consumption can enhance all aspects of human body function.
At the same time, it is suitable for animal feeding feed and is a natural and good feed.
Second, sausage grass also has medicinal properties.
When a whole piece of sausage grass is cut open, male pollen is obtained.
This pollen is a well-known Chinese medicinal material, the scientific name is called Puhuang, and this medicinal material has been discovered and used in ancient times.
It is generally used in military camps, because it has the effect of invigorating blood and removing stasis and relieving pain.
For the barracks, this medicinal herb is indispensable.
When soldiers are injured on the battlefield and the pain is unbearable, the use of this herb can effectively relieve the pain of the soldiers.
At the same time, when women are troubled by irregular menstruation, or the amount of blood is insufficient.
Chinese medicine halls will add this herb to help women regulate endocrine disorders.
To this day, this herb is still applicable.
Third, it has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, whenever summer comes.
We are always plagued by mosquitoes, and it is easy to let mosquitoes in if we don't pay attention to the windows.
Staring at the two mouths on his arms, the itching was unbearable.
But nowadays, we can use the power of technology to use electric mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes.
But in the past, ancient people did not have such convenient living conditions, and they could only rely on other forces to plague mosquitoes.
After continuous attempts, they discovered that cattail grass actually has the effect of repelling mosquitoes.
After people set the cattail grass on fire.
It emits a peculiar smell that is a killer blow to mosquitoes.
Once the mosquitoes are ignited, they dare not approach, so the ancients used this herb to repel mosquitoes in ancient times.
What occasions is sausage grass suitable for?
Because of its ornamental value, sausage grass is "highly favored" in the park field.
In some parks, this plant is planted along the lakeside for passers-by to see.
And this plant does not need to be carefully cared for, and the cost of maintenance and cultivation in the park is low, which can be regarded as "great value for money".
In addition, the internal pollen of sausage grass is used as a raw material for Chinese medicinal materials.
It is also suitable for Chinese medicine halls, as well as some pharmaceutical research fields, for professional researchers to study pharmaceuticals.
At the same time, sausage grass has a mosquito repellent effect.
Therefore, some mosquito repellent bracelet products will also appropriately add this plant to achieve a mosquito repellent effect.
In short, sausage grass is not just the "plaything of childhood" in our childhood memories.
It also has many benefits and is widely used in people's daily lives.
epilogue
"All medicines are born of a realm, the plants and trees have spirits, and the world has love."
The benefits of sausage grass are overlooked.
Just as Chinese medicine is ignored today, when we learn Chinese medicine abroad, we let go of the essence left by our ancestors and abandon it.
China cannot do without traditional Chinese medicine, just as Chinese medicine cannot do without sausage herbs.
The traditional culture of the Chinese nation cannot be abandoned, and we relied on traditional Chinese medicine to live in ancient times.
In today's developed society, we must not forget Chinese medicine.
The greatness of Chinese medicine is that it has stood firm for thousands of years, and we should have Chinese medicine in our hearts at all times.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a shining galaxy in Chinese history.
