It is necessary to know some agricultural knowledge.

I feel this way because of two messages I saw on WeChat the other day.

? One was posted by a WeChat with hundreds of thousands of fans in a provincial capital city, teaching people how to eat wild vegetables in spring. Among them, in order to remind the public to distinguish between wormwood and poisonous ragweed, two comparative pictures were posted, but the pictures used were all chrysanthemums similar to wormwood.

WeChat official account, a mountainous town, warmly invited citizens to go for an outing in the countryside to introduce rural cuisine, but the raw material picture of a plate of fried grass seeds was wild cassia seed.

? The ancients often said: "Four bodies are not diligent, and the whole grain is not divided", which means that people who have no common sense of labor cannot be nerds. In the farming society at that time, such a nerd was looked down upon.

Human society has entered the 2 1 century. With the continuous advancement of urbanization, the population living in cities is increasing and the social division of labor is more detailed. Many people don't have to touch the soil all their lives, and it seems that the distinction between grains is no longer important. And now that technology is developed, you don't have to go to the food market, turn on your mobile phone and pick a takeaway platform to send it home. When you see a beautiful flower and want to know its name, open the "various colors" APP on your mobile phone and sweep it at the flower, and you will know the answer immediately.

? But is this really enough?

? I personally experienced such a scene: at the edge of a wheat field, a young mother pointed to the green wheat seedlings in the field and said to the children in the kindergarten, "Baby, look, this is rice, and the rice we eat is its fruit."

? I have also seen such a report on the big photo on the front page of a newspaper in Hangzhou: "Peach blossoms are in full bloom by the West Lake", but that photo is obviously Haitang.

? So I can't tell rice from wheat, and I can't tell peach blossom from begonia. There are many jokes, but they don't sound funny at all.

? When a person comes to this world, knowing some natural flowers, trees, vegetables and fruits is just like knowing his own family and learning to distinguish soy sauce from vinegar, which is necessary common sense in life. Maybe you will say that your goal is the sea of stars, but more people can't live without daily necessities. Otherwise, there won't be so many newspapers teaching people how to distinguish cherry blossoms from red plums every spring, and there won't be so many WeChat WeChat official account introducing how to eat Malantou and Toona sinensis buds. Of course, we don't have to be botanists or agricultural experts, but knowing some basic agricultural knowledge and some crops closely related to life is only beneficial, not harmful. At least children who have job needs will not mislead others.

? There are too few people who are interested in agricultural common sense now, and it is difficult to have a place to learn. Many people's contact with agriculture may be limited to buying a handful of "roses" that are actually Chinese roses and raising pots of "meat" that can't be named. As for teaching children to know plants, look at the signs in the park. If not, rely on "various" apps. However, a warm reminder, that APP is actually not very reliable. Although there are high-tech blessings, similar to Baidu entries, users can edit their own definitions. If you meet the enthusiastic users at the WeChat editor level mentioned above, you just let your child drink a bowl of "fake chicken soup".

Actually, it's fun to know something about agriculture. It can make your life smarter and more interesting. For example, some agricultural proverbs can help you arrange your life better. In Xia Zhishi in spring, if you know the saying "It's foggy in the morning, wash your clothes and pants quickly", you can boldly dry your clothes before going to work in the foggy morning. I want to eat watermelon to cool off in summer. In fact, watermelon pulp gets angry, and what really gets angry is the skin. Don't leave too thick skin next time. Similarly, if you are a person who likes to eat oranges, but you are afraid of getting angry if you eat too much, you can get rid of some anger by just eating white orange collaterals together. Of course, if its skin is made into dried tangerine peel, it will be even hotter.

? Speaking of oranges, there is a very interesting little knowledge: "oranges bloom and eat loquat, and loquat blooms and eats oranges." If you see the orange trees in the park with small white flowers, it means it's time to eat loquat. You can plan to meet three or five friends and go to Yuhang Tangqi to taste the "red hair girl" or "soft white sand" there.

? You can buy vegetables according to the season, and you don't have to worry about the out-of-season vegetables not meeting the hygiene requirements. Moreover, vegetables grow vigorously this season, so you seldom need pesticides, and you also reduce the probability of being hurt by "pesticide residues". If you can't remember the season when so many kinds of vegetables are on the market, remember the following sentence: "Eat buds in spring, melons in summer, fruits in autumn and roots in winter".

? For some friends who like to do it themselves, go to the suburbs to pick some wormwood to make a green ball, dig some shepherd's purse to wrap jiaozi, pick up some mushrooms and lichens to stew and enjoy the gift of nature. Don't worry about eating poisonous weeds by mistake, staring at your mobile phone for a long time will make you lose your good mood. If you like to make friends, it is definitely a good idea to take pictures of beautiful flowers, label them with their names, and then take pictures of yourself cooking and drying.

? In particular, media editors who are enthusiastic about spreading agricultural knowledge hope that their children will have more parents in knowledge of nature, and try to make up a lesson on agricultural common sense for themselves, so that their knowledge will be more correct and less funny.
