Introduction: The plant mandala, which can make "Monghan medicine", is becoming less and less in the countryside, and the appearance has also changed.
I still remember that in the 80s, every summer and autumn, in the village from time to time, I would smell a dizzying smell, this smell is not bad, but after smelling it will make people feel uncomfortable, this strange smell is a plant emitted, the villagers did not know its real name, because of its strange smell and gave it a name called "stinky tree", and because of its spherical prickly, there is also called "mouse touch".
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, in the past, mandala plants can be found everywhere, annoying</h1>
The "stinky tree" that was called by the villagers at that time was actually a mandala plant, also known as a golden flower, dog walnut, etc., which was the main material used to make "Monghan medicine" in ancient times. We can often see in costume film and television dramas, some people are anesthetized by the medicine of Mon Khan, which is made of mandala plants.
In the past, in the countryside, mandala plants can be seen everywhere, whether in the field or in the village, everywhere there is its existence, every year in the flowering season, mandala flowers always emit a strong smell, therefore, at that time, mandala is also a plant that makes farmers very disgusted. Whether it grows in crop fields or in the courtyards of villagers' homes, it will be cleared away, but on the wasteland, or in ditches and roadsides, because no one manages them, there will always be a lot of mandala plants.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two, the taste is bad and the flowers are good, and the spiky fruit can prevent rats</h1>
Although the mandala plant has a bad smell, but its flowers are more beautiful, such as large trumpet flowers, white and red, or very beautiful, therefore, in the past, there were often children in the countryside to pinch the flowers of the mandala to play, after being seen by adults, they will stop the children, do not let them play with the mandala flowers, but the children still can't resist the temptation, but also secretly pinch a few flowers, and then the smell left on the hands is difficult to wash away at one time.
Mandala spherical fruit has the size of walnuts, full of spikes, the initial thorns are soft, after long ripening it is hard, at that time someone plugged the long ripe cones in the mouse hole, it is said that this can pierce the mouse, the mouse once it touches the thorn is pierced, it does not dare to go out of the hole, so some people also call the mandala "rat touch", saying that it has the effect of preventing rats, whether it can prevent rats, it is really unclear, but these mandala fruits with spikes have also become the toys of rural children. Others play pranks on it.
In the summer and autumn of that year, the mandala plants that can be seen everywhere in the countryside are now less and less, and even rarely can see its traces, occasionally see one or two trees in a corner, and feel more curious, now the children in the countryside do not know what this is, and there will be no children to pinch its flowers and cones as toys.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, the number is decreasing, and the shape of the plant has changed</h1>
The reason why mandala plants are getting less and less in the countryside, which has to be said to be related to the use of herbicides in recent years, in the past rural weeding is still artificial operations, there are always weeds growing out of places where there is no hoe, and now the herbicides are sprayed year after year, many weeds have no flowering and seeding opportunities, so many kinds of weeds that were common in the countryside in the past are getting less and less, and the reduction of mandala plants is not the only phenomenon.
At present, the number of mandala plants has been greatly reduced in the countryside, and even if you can encounter a few plants by chance, its appearance has changed. The impression is that the mandala plants that grew in the countryside in the past were relatively large, the stem was thick, the leaves were also wide, and the growth was very luxuriant, whether it was the blossoming flowers or its spherical fruit, it was also relatively large, and the smell emitted was also very strong.
Now sometimes in the uninhabited house, you can still see a few mandala plants that grow obviously thinner, it does not have the thick stems of the past, in exchange for small and even difficult to grow upright creeping stems, the flowers are much smaller, the fruit is also smaller, the smell emitted is obviously weakened, and it can only be smelled when it is close.
Mandala, a plant that used to be annoying and difficult to eradicate, is now difficult to find, this situation is not a separate phenomenon in the countryside, and many weed species in the past have slowly faded out of the sight of villagers. Is it the cause of the change in the ecological environment? Let's talk about our views.
