The ancients had different feelings for bamboo, because bamboo is widely used and can be used to make various agricultural tools, bamboo beds, bamboo tables, etc., and bamboo shoots can also be used for consumption. In the eyes of the literati, bamboo, as a plant with four seasons of spring and vertical vertical, has a unique meaning, and planting it in front of and behind the courtyard can cultivate sentiments and is also a testimony to a person's noble character.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" >01, is bamboo flowering a bad omen? </h1>
However, the ancients also had the saying of "bamboo blossoming, moving immediately", in their view, bamboo flowering is a bad omen, bamboo flowering will happen terrible things, after seeing it, you must immediately move, otherwise there may be a danger to your life.
So, is this statement reliable? In fact, there are many facts about this statement.
For example, one day in 1959, in the Indian state of Mizoram, thousands of acres of rice fields that were about to ripen disappear overnight, which surprised many people. Local people recalled that they heard strange noises that night, like someone cutting rice with a knife, only to find out the next day that the disappearance of thousands of acres of rice was caused by rats.
Why is there such a large population of rats in a short period of time? After the investigation, it was learned that the source of everything was caused by the "blossoming of bamboo", and this bamboo was called pear bamboo, and it was in 1958 that a pear bamboo flowering appeared in the area, which caused a rat infestation.
In 2006, there were 6,000 square kilometers of bamboo forests in the area, all of which bloomed, and their petals were pink and tender, and it did not take long for the fruit to grow, and it was large, weighing more than 200g, looking like pears, and the seeds inside were bamboo rice.
The local people were very excited to see it, and they rushed to pick and sell it, because the market was rare, a pound could sell for 900 yuan, and many people made a small fortune for this.
But just when people were excited, there were more black rats near the bamboo forest, and they came to the bamboo forest to nibble on the bamboo pears, and soon these fruits were eaten empty. When there was no food left, swarms of rats went to the rice fields and the homes of the inhabitants in search of food, and the harvest was lost everywhere they went.
At this time, the local government and the people panicked, in order to let the people join the rat catching activities, the government also came up with cash rewards, driving the enthusiasm of the people. It is reported that 2.5 million rats were killed that year.
Coincidentally, as early as the 80s, Sichuan Jianzhu all blossomed overnight, and the bamboo forest began to die in large areas, and not long after, the staff found 138 national treasure panda corpses at the junction of Sichuan and Gansu, and these corpses had rough hair and half the weight was half lighter than normal.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" >02, bamboo flowering time</h1>
Today, there are more than 1,200 kinds of bamboo in the world, and there are more than 500 varieties in China. Bamboo is a grass, like rice, wheat, and corn, that is, it is essentially a grass, not a tree as we think of it. Grasses face death when they flower and bear fruit, as does bamboo, but it is more different from other grass plants.
Bamboo is an asexual breeding, its rhizome can go several meters underground, at this time the bamboo whip will look for suitable water sources to breed in the surrounding area, first grow bamboo shoots, and then become bamboo.
As for its flowering time, the oyster bamboo is usually 30 years, the giraffe bamboo and ci bamboo are 32 years, the moso bamboo blooms once in 67 years, the pear bamboo blooms once in 48 years, the bamboo is 80 years, and the May season bamboo and the gui bamboo will bloom for 120 years.
After the bamboo blossoms, it will bear fruit, and then it will die, and the fruit it bears is called bamboo rice, which has a lot of fat components and a unique edible taste, which is especially liked by rats, and it is easy to cause rat infestation. Of course, as for why bamboo can only bloom once, it is also because the physiological process of flowering and fruiting requires a lot of nutrients.
The survey found that when bamboo flowers in no particular order, the entire bamboo forest will blossom and bear fruit, and the bamboo forest thousands of miles apart, if the mother is the same, then no matter how far away, it will bloom at the same time.
For example, in 1933, the Bamboo Forest in Jiaxing blossomed at the same time, the Lu'an Bamboo Forest also blossomed at this time; in 1907, the Japanese light bamboo blossomed, and at this time, the light bamboo in the Japanese Imperial Garden also blossomed and bore fruit.
As for why quantum entanglement occurs, there is no scientific explanation.
In addition to asexual reproduction, bamboo can also be used to reproduce after flowering and fruiting, and generally a fruit can reproduce a whole bamboo forest after many years. And the survey found that where bamboo flowers, the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium components in the soil are reduced by 17.02%, 33.76% and 29.84% respectively, which will also lead to bamboo flowering due to the lack of nutrients.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" >03, bamboo blossoms or do you want to move? </h1>
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" >1, flowering in its natural state</h1>
Once the bamboo blooms, it will grow a large number of fruits, at this time it must be harvested in time, otherwise it will be targeted by rats, the breeding speed will be accelerated, the population will increase, the farmer's crops will inevitably be affected, and the activity of rats is easy to bring a variety of germs.
In ancient times, medical treatment was not developed, and the harm of plague was very large, such as the outbreak of plague in Europe in 1347-1353 AD, and 25 million people died for it. Therefore, what the ancients said about "bamboo blossoming and moving immediately" is actually scientifically reasonable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" >2, abnormal state</h1>
If it is flowering under abnormal circumstances, such as due to drought and lack of water, lack of nutrients, insect pests and other situations, bamboo blooms early, which indicates that the local environment has deteriorated, even if humans plant other fruits and vegetables, I am afraid it is difficult to harvest, at this time it is also necessary to move in time to avoid food production.
For example, the reason why the above giant panda died is also because the bamboo death range is relatively large, and the panda can not find something edible because of the delay, and the result is starved to death. The flowering of bamboo, mainly at that time, the border earthquakes in Sichuan and Gansu occurred frequently, and as a result, the nutritional supply of bamboo was insufficient, and only the flowering and fruiting could be chosen, leaving the fruit of life.
It can be seen that these old sayings still have practical significance, and today's society cannot ignore the hidden dangers behind them, and measures and means should be taken in a timely manner after the incident, so as to avoid unnecessary risks.
