In the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Zheng Qian. He came from a poor family, lived a poor life, and was diligent and studious. One day, he was walking in the persimmon forest and picked up a few fat persimmon leaves. He returned indoors and tried to write with a pen. So he picked up a large number of persimmon leaves to practice calligraphy. Because he was good at poetry and painting, the works he wrote on the scarlet persimmon leaves were called "Zheng Qian's Three Wonders" for a while.
Persimmon leaves can not only be used for writing and drawing, but also have miraculous healing effects. A Japanese man named Hirai suffered from high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. He was in so much pain that doctors were unable to do anything. One day, he found young leaves from the persimmon tree in the yard. He picked one and chewed it. At first, the persimmon leaves were a little bitter, but then they became sweet and delicious. From then on, he chewed a few tablets every day. After more than a month, Hirai felt much better. He went to the hospital for a review and found that the original symptoms had disappeared. The doctor asked him in surprise how he was treated. Hirai said inexplicably: "I didn't take any medicine. I just ate a few persimmon leaves every day."
Persimmon leaves can indeed cure serious diseases. There are precedents in my country. Persimmon leaf tea is often sold in traditional Chinese medicine stores. Experts believe that fresh persimmon leaves are very effective in treating and controlling diabetes. Persimmon leaf tea can promote metabolism in the body, make urination smooth, and also has certain curative effects on tonsillitis.
Not only persimmon leaves can cure diseases, persimmons also have their own special effects. Legend has it that in ancient times, Indian soldiers went to war. In addition to carrying weapons such as swords, guns, bows and arrows, each person also had a satchel filled with fresh persimmons. These fresh persimmons are not used to satisfy hunger, nor are they used as "hand grenades" to throw. They are their "first aid kits". No matter injured by swords, arrows, or falls while riding horses, just apply fresh persimmons on the wound to stop bleeding and relieve pain immediately.
Not only that, the white powder on the outside of persimmon cakes made from persimmons can treat chronic diarrhea in children; the base of persimmons can also treat hiccups; pounding the green and astringent persimmons into juice can also treat cerebral hemorrhage and burns. , chilblains and other diseases.
Our country is the hometown of persimmons. People began to cultivate them more than 2,000 years ago. Persimmon trees are full of treasures. In addition to their medicinal value, persimmons can also be used as a substitute for grain to make wine, which has a unique flavor. The wood of the persimmon tree is called ebony, which is a high-quality wood for making furniture. The furniture produced is extremely beautiful.
