China is vast in land and rich in resources. There are all kinds of weeds in both the southern and northern rural areas. Although many weeds are only found in some places, there are still some weeds of a national nature. No matter in the rural areas of any province, perhaps due to geographical differences, different places have different names for these weeds. Also let these weeds have a lot of strange names, the following author introduces such a weed, its name is very strange.

In the afternoon, the author went back to the old village with his uncle to help weed in the farmland. beside the ditch near the farmland, I saw a strange weed. Looking at its leaves, I thought it was celery. But when I saw its strange words again, I denied it, and immediately asked my uncle. The uncle said that in our countryside, this weed is called "dung bucket grass". As for why it is called "dung bucket grass". Friends who have seen it will understand that after this weed blossoms, it will give off a strange stench, which is like the smell of dung used to water vegetables, so many farmers call it dung bucket grass.

In fact, the scientific name of this kind of weed is "purple flower fish lantern grass". In some cases, it is also called "sheep do not eat". Friends who have raised sheep should know that sheep like to eat all kinds of weeds, but they are only afraid of certain kinds of weeds. Purple fish lantern grass is one of them, because the sheep will be poisoned and only need a handful of leaves to put down a sheep, so the sheep is most afraid of it.

Many peasant friends living in the countryside also hate purple fish lantern grass. Although it blossoms beautifully, the special stench it emits is unbearable. In addition, purple flower fish lantern grass also likes to grow near the paddy field, which will affect the growth of crops. Therefore, many peasant friends also regard it as a harmful weed in the farmland.

In fact, no matter what kind of weeds, it has two sides. Although it has a bad smell, it will persecute crops, but it also has its advantages. So do purple fish, lanterns and grasses. Many farmers in mountainous areas like it very much, because it is also a folk cure.

Because the purple flower fish lantern has a small poison, it can only be used for external use, especially for the trauma of snakebite, the leaves of the purple flower fish lantern grass can be mashed and applied externally with wine or vinegar grinding juice, which is very useful. therefore, some old peasant friends in the mountains also use purple fish lantern grass as a good medicine for common snake wounds.

The author reminds: between the purple flower fish lantern grass has a small poison, so I do not recommend using, after all, snakebite is not a trivial matter, it is best to think good, and it emits that strange stench, I believe that many friends can not stand, so distant view is the best policy.
