This weed was named by Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and the purple golden whip dog turned around and ran away, but it was a folk cure.

Our country is vast in land and rich in resources, especially in the countryside and mountains, there are all kinds of weeds and wild plant resources, and among these weeds and wild sources, there are also many strange weeds, among which there is a kind of weed called "Brother King".

Speaking of the elder brother king, I have to mention its alias, which is very domineering, called "Zijin whip", which was given the name by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty.

According to historical records, Song Taizu was originally born as an oil seller. Once he was seriously injured in a dispute with someone in the market, a thief passed by and felt compassionate when he saw it. He gave Song Taizu the tape of the herbs he had with him. After chewing a few sections, Song Taizu was fine the next day. Later, after he got the medicine, he asked around about the medicine, and only then did he know that this herb had been worn into a belt by thieves to defend himself. It was called "thief belt" in folk. Song Taizu thought the name was ugly, so the imperial pen waved his name: "Purple Golden Whip". Since then, the name of Zijin Whip has been around for thousands of years.

The king's name is not only domineering, its fruit is also very good-looking, if you see the mature fruit in August, I thought it was a cherry, the king's fruit is really like a cherry, bright red and shiny, but don't be fooled by the appearance of this wild fruit, this wild fruit can not be edible, because it is poisonous, and the leaves and the whole plant are poisonous. If the dog eats a few of the king's leaves by mistake, he will die, so in the countryside, when the dog sees the king, he is afraid, turns and runs away.

Although GE Wang Quan plant is poisonous, many farmers like it very much, because it has been a folk cure since ancient times. According to records, the whole plant of Brother Wang can be used in medicine, with the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, resolving phlegm and dispersing knots, clearing menstruation and diuresis. In the folk, it is often used to treat tonsillitis, mumps, lymphadenitis, bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, rheumatoid arthritis, injury, leprosy, amenorrhea, edema and expansion and other symptoms.

However, because the roots, leaves and fruits of the king are poisonous, it is never used as an herbal medicine for internal use, but is generally used for external use to treat injuries caused by falls, so it was called "thieves' trousers" in ancient times.

The author reminds: the elder brother Wang whole plant is poisonous, so must not eat by mistake, in order to avoid problems.
