Camellia, alias Yuchun, Toona sinensis, Camellia japonica, Camellia japonica, Camellia japonica, Camellia japonica, Datura etc. So, is the mandala written by Jin Yong a Buddhist mandala? In the book, they are considered to be the same plant.
The answer is of course no. It can be said that the tea gardens in the book are all mountains, and they must not be Datura in religion. The real Datura stramonium is very different from camellia, and it is a Solanaceae herb, also called Datura stramonium, wild hemp seed, drunken flower, rain flower, phoenix eggplant and so on. All over China, the whole plant is poisonous, so it has a strong anesthetic effect, which shows its influence on nerves. But the mysterious antiperspirant in our common martial arts novels is indeed made by Datura. Dr. Hua Tuo, who curetted the bone and treated the poison for Guan Gong, used "Ma Feisan" to operate on people. According to Sun Simiao's "Hua Shen Tuo Fang" in the Tang Dynasty, one of the main ingredients is this Datura. Datura stramonium can be used as medicine now, but it is rarely used because of its high toxicity.
But aside from some works, in life, such as Baidu Encyclopedia or some teaching materials, it is also called: camellia, also called Datura. So, why is there such a statement? This is definitely not wrong, and there are many "grievances".
"Probably in the Tang Dynasty, Camellia was called Datura in some areas. But later, in order to distinguish,' Datura' refers to the poisonous flower Datura, and camellia doesn't need the name' Datura'! " Feng Baojun said. So before the Tang Dynasty, was camellia = Datura? Not right either! The reason why the two are confused is probably because of a sentence in the "Er Ru Pavilion Family Tree" in the Ming Dynasty: "Camellia is a romantic tree." That is to say, camellia does have an individual name called Datura Tree, but it should be noted that the words "tree" and "tree" in this alias cannot be omitted, and the word "tree" is not much to say, but the word "tree" of camellia is not the word "tuo" of Datura. Although it is a word difference, it still shows that camellia is not. So, is this just a pure slip of the tongue? There is another saying, according to Taoism, Beidou has an emissary from Tara Star, holding this kind of flower (camellia), so later people call it "Mandalore". It seems that someone has confused "Mandalore" with "Mandalore" and confused camellia with Mandalore. More legends, and so on, are probably such unequal information transmission, which caused this beautiful mistake.
So ..., does Datura have anything to do with other flowers, manjushahua and camellia? According to the above, yes or no, yes or no. According to legend, Datura is a flower unique to the underworld, which was specially brought to the world by Pluto to commemorate the reincarnation of his grandson. There is a mistake here. There is only one flower in the underworld, that is, the flower on the other side. The white flowers on the other side are in heaven, called Datura flower; The safflower is next to the sansheng stone in "I can't forget Sichuan", called Manzhu Shahua.
Here's why camellia is also called victory flower. We all know that Yunnan famous flowers look at camellia. Although Yunnan Nanshan tea is not the best in the world, it is still the best in the world, which shows its treasures and excellent ornamental value. This is inseparable from the long-term love and cultivation of the people of Yunnan, not to mention the camellia relics such as Taihua Temple and Camellia Temple in Yunnan. There is a beautiful legend about this, which is simply:
According to legend, in the late Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing army and acted as a pioneer. After his success, he was named King of the Day and guarded Yunnan. So he began to fish the people and oppress them. Unexpectedly, the war general liked exotic flowers and plants and ordered the people of Yunnan to offer them.
Coincidentally, there is a camellia in luliang county Fusai. Its flowers are nine cores and eighteen petals, which is a treasure on earth. When the magistrate of Lvliang saw the imperial edict, he sent people to help Sage and forced the residents around the temple to dig camellias. The villagers refused to dig. At this time, camellia turned into a girl and entered the dream of a respected old man in the village to give him advice. She didn't want the villagers to suffer her, and promised that she would come back smoothly.
So the old man told the villagers about Camellia Fairy's dream and contributed treasures. Who knows that this camellia will not bloom in A Xiang Garden in Wu Sangui, but the strategies of the counselors are useless. Wu Sangui was furious, picked up a whip and whipped camellia, leaving a scar on the trunk. The following spring, Wu Sangui took all the people to A Xiang Garden to enjoy flowers, and only saw a few thin camellias. Wu Sangui said angrily: "What is this world famous flower!" With that, he raised his whip and whipped it again, leaving a second scar on the trunk. And life gardener, camellia fairy to save the gardener, endured the pain, came to Wu Sangui dream sings:
Three laurels, three laurels, drunk,
Don't blame Gao Hua, blame you for being groggy.
I am a woman, not pursuing wealth,
I just want to go back to my hometown and spend my poor years.
Wu Sangui raised his sword and cut it at the Camellia Fairy. As a result, with a click, the sword split on the Kowloon chair and broke a bloody faucet. Camellia fairy sneer at 1, sings:
Humble soul, smelly reputation.
Sellers seek glory, fox dog!
The palace was built in vain, and blood spilled on the throne.
Anger and resentment can bring disaster.
Hearing this, Wu Sangui broke out in a cold sweat. When he woke up, he found a consultant explaining the dream and asked about the good and bad of the dream. The counselor said, "As the ancients said, blessings depend on them and disasters are covered. Camellia is cheap, it is a curse to enter the palace, and it is a blessing to leave the palace. It is better to go back to the original place and get rid of the disaster. " Wu Sangui thinks it makes sense, so he sends camellia back to luliang county.
Camellia returned to her hometown, and the people in the village were very happy. They all came out to meet her. Everyone touched the whip mark of the trunk with distress, mixed with sorrow and joy, and shed tears of excitement. That night, the villagers all had the same dream. The Camellia Fairy said to everyone, "To fight the enemy, we must be patient and resilient. Although scarred, I finally came back. I am the winner. " Since then, people in Yunnan have called camellia the flower of victory, and the blooming of camellia represents the joy of people's victory in battle.
After seeing so many camellias, I wonder if you like them a little more than before. Miss Chanel once said: "The seemingly simple and pure masterpiece is an excellent proof of its elegance." Monoecious, ambiguous, camellia has the image of taboo flowers. Compared with the richness and splendor of roses, she prefers camellia to be calm and restrained, close to the geometric circle shape, and the perfect and regular arrangement order of petals.
