There are a lot of wild plants growing in the countryside, and most of the villages at that time were built by mountains and rivers, which led to many ditches or soil pits around the countryside, and many wild plants would grow next to these ditches.
In addition to these plants, there are many plants that grow in rural rice paddies or around houses, and many of them are weeds in farmland, and many farmers will directly eradicate these weeds.
But there is such a plant that used to be one of the cash crops on the mainland, and the young seeds were still used as snacks by children, but over time they have become weeds in the farmland, so what is the reason for this? What kind of plants are they?
«——[·Common Cash Crops in Rural Areas·]——»
In the last century, life in the rural areas of the mainland was actually very poor, and people at that time had almost no money to spare, so many times it was a state of self-sufficiency, which led to people at that time generally planting a lot of food crops.
But when planting, people will still pick some cash crops for planting, after all, these cash crops can be exchanged for a lot of materials that people need, and at that time there were actually more cash crops, and people would choose to plant according to their own needs.
Therefore, at that time, it was common to see a lot of cash crops in the rural rice fields, but there was such a cash crop that became the "weed" of the farmland with the passage of time, so what is this cash crop?
«——【·植物真身·】——»
In fact, this plant is the hemp, in addition to this name, people will also call it "Tsubaki hemp", "Tang hemp" and so on, and this plant has a very long history of cultivation in the mainland, as early as 3000 years ago began to be planted.
This plant is very adaptable, so it is very widely distributed in the continent, they are an annual herbaceous plant of the genus Malvaceae, especially in the ancient times of the continent, they are a veritable cash crop.
And the growth of this plant is very distinctive, its plants are generally relatively tall, generally more than 1 meter, a small part of the hemp can grow to 2 meters high, its stalk is very slender, the leaves are presented as a circle and the surface has fine hairs, and obvious serrations can be seen on its edge, it can be said that it is very easy to identify.
In addition to these, their biggest feature is the appearance of their fruits, their fruits are actually similar to the common grinding plates in the countryside, except that there are obvious cracks around the fruits of the hemp.
The fruit was green at first, but eventually turned brown over time, and the most important thing is that the fruit is still edible, and many children will choose to eat it when they see it.
So this fruit was very popular in the last century, when many children would go to the field to pick this fruit and eat it, in addition to the edible value, what are the reasons why they can be called "cash crops"?
«——【What is the value·】——»
In fact, this plant has been discovered by people in ancient times on the mainland, and then people have slowly discovered their value, so what can they be used for?
For example, our most common linen clothes are made of hemp, especially in ancient times, most of the mourning clothes are made of hemp, which is why it is often said that wearing linen and wearing filial piety is one of the reasons, which is recorded in the classic book "Tiangong Kaiwu Summer Clothes" in the mainland.
In addition to this, it is not for nothing that it was used to make paper in ancient times, although we often say that Cai Lun invented papermaking, but in fact he only improved it.
Paper has appeared as early as the Western Han Dynasty, but the paper at that time was hemp paper, and most of the hemp paper made at that time was made of hemp, so they were veritable cash crops in ancient times on the mainland.
Of course, in addition to these, they can also be used to make hemp rope, sacks and other tools, so it can be said that the role of this plant is very many, and this plant has been cultivated by people in ancient times on the mainland.
This point is recorded in the mainland's "Qi Min Yao Shu Planting Hemp", it can be said that this plant is very important, of course, in addition to these economic values, its young seeds will also be eaten as snacks by many children.
Especially in the last century, the resources of the mainland were relatively scarce, and the children at that time had no candy and fruit to eat, and they could only eat one during the New Year's Festival, in this case, many children could only pick wild fruits for consumption.
In addition, this fruit is available in their own fields, which is why many children like to eat it, after all, it is much safer to pick this fruit than to go up the mountain, but with the passage of time, why does this plant become a "weed"?
«——【Why is it a weed now?】——»
In fact, in addition to the great economic value of this plant, their harm is also not small, especially in the farmland of the hemp, because their plants are very tall, which will lead to many farmland plants can not carry out photosynthesis.
This situation will lead to a sharp reduction in crop yields, which is very fatal for many farmers, after all, many farmers now rely on planting to make profits, and many farmers will not be able to accept it if it is affected.
The most important thing is that the vitality of this plant is actually very strong, if it grows in the farmland is not easy to clean, this is also a headache for many farmers, and finally after years of cleaning it slowly faded out of people's sight.
In addition to this, people can already buy things made from this plant with money, so people don't specialize in planting them, after all, life is much better than before, which is one of the reasons why they disappeared.
«——【·Conclusion·】——»
Although there are very few plants of this kind, it does not mean that they have disappeared, there are still people planting them in many places, after all, their economic value is also not negligible, but many rural wild hemp has slowly disappeared under people's governance.
In fact, this plant is a nostalgic plant in the eyes of many people, and many people often deal with them when they are young, so what do you think of this plant?
