In ancient times, people were killed with poisoned wine, which could leave the last dignity for some people in high positions. The words "fearing poison to endure thirst" and "drinking poison to quench thirst" also come from this.
So, what exactly is poison wine? What kind of animal is 白?
Peo wine is actually a synonym for poisonous wine, and it does not specifically refer to any kind of poison. aconitum , poisonous arrow wood, and poisonous celery juice are all OK. In ancient times, people said that birds and beasts like steak would bathe in water, and toxins would remain in the water after bathing. If anyone accidentally misuses it, he might die. Over time, poisoned wine became synonymous with poisoned wine.
The 生 is also a kind of poisonous bird in the legend. Although the records of it in various books differ in details, they are generally consistent. " Mountains and Seas" records that it is as big as a carved body, wearing purple-green feathers, and likes to eat the head of the viper ; " Erya Wings " says it looks like an eagle and big, like an osprey, purple-black, red beak, black eyes, and a neck of seven or eight inches long; "Guangzhi" calls it "big as an osprey". Judging from these records, the body size of the jin is still relatively large.
It is said that poison lives in the deep mountains and forests with snakes and scorpions, and likes to build nests on poisonous chestnut trees. The stones around the trees it inhabits are covered with black spots and subtle cracks, because its feces fall on them.
According to the above description of poison, this is a bird that carries highly toxic, and it is difficult for people to find similar breeds today. So, is the poison made up out of thin air or is it a fantasy derived from some animals?
In the 1990s, someone discovered a "poisonous bird" called Blackheaded forest hornet . It usually preys on poisonous insects, and the toxins carried by these insects will be deposited in their skin and feathers, causing the person who comes into contact with it to feel stinging. Later, some birds carrying toxins were found in many places around the world. Perhaps the steat was also one of these birds in the past, but it was unknown when it gradually became extinct.
