Hunting, war, maintaining rule...what secrets are hidden behind the poison?

Influenced by "Water Margin", everyone believes that Pan Jinlian poisoned Wu Dalang with arsenic. But the reality may not be so. The real prototype of Wu Dalang may be Wu Zhi from Qinghe County, Hebei Province. It is said that Wu Zhi and his wife Pan were very affectionate, but they were slandered and defamed by others. The rumor reached the ears of Shi Naian, the author of "Water Margin", so he created the image of Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang.

Throughout the world, societies that are accustomed to using poison generally do not have good results. Nero, the Roman emperor who was keen on poisoning, was eventually rebelled against and had a bad end. During the Western Jin Dynasty, the palace was infighting and poisoned each other for the throne, which eventually led to the collapse of the Jin Dynasty.

Swiss scientist Paracelsus once said: "All substances are poisons. There is no substance without toxicity. The difference between medicine and poison lies in the appropriate dosage." Indeed, drinking a lot of water in a short period of time may also cause poisoning. In fact, many poisons are also medicines. If the dosage of Aconitum is well controlled, it is a medicine for strengthening the heart and lowering blood pressure in ancient times. Datura was used as an anesthetic by the ancients. Many snake venoms are good analgesics and blood coagulants. The history of research and development of poisons is essentially half of the history of medicine.
