Urine beads, also called grass beads, are not specially planted in our rural areas. They all grow next to some streams and ditches, belonging to a kind of weeds, and the plants grow more like sorghum.

　　People in the 1980s are familiar with some wild playthings. When they were young, the post-80s people had poor families and seldom bought toys. Children all ran in the wild to find snacks and playthings.

　　In my impression, we all picked these grass beads, removed the heart of each bead with something to make ready-made beads, and then strung them together with ropes and put them on our wrists or around our necks. At that time, it was very happy to have a string of such beads to play with. It is said that this kind of grass beads can suck blood, but we don't have this legend here, and adults won't stop children from playing.

　　Then what effect does it have? It belongs to a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which has the functions of relaxing muscles and tendons, promoting blood circulation, clearing away heat and diuresis, etc. Because of its well-known functions, it is now sold at a relatively high price, and some places have specially planted it!

　　Now in the countryside, it can still be seen from time to time in the wild, but no one has picked it to play with. Times are different, and there are many children now.

　　Did you have this plaything when you were a child?

　　What's the use of urine beads? This thing is everywhere by the river on our side, and no one wants it.

　　As far as I can remember, this bead grew by the river. When we were young, we liked to go to the river and collect these beads to make curtains or bracelets. At that time, adults often scolded us for our safety. I remember the farthest time, several of our friends rode bicycles and ran to the Xiangjiang River for fun. As a result, when they got home, they were repaired by their father, saying what to do if people fell into the water.

　　When I went back to my hometown this time, I saw this thing everywhere by the river in front of our house, but no one picked urine beads anymore, and they all grew naturally, so now this thing breeds a lot.

　　Urine beads can also be used as medicine, which can eliminate edema, clear away heat and diuresis, strengthen spleen and benefit stomach. In addition, the roots of urine beads can be eaten fresh or dried, but now because there are fewer people in rural areas, this kind of thing grows everywhere, and not only adults are used to it, but also children don't pick this thing to play with. For this common plant in rural areas, did you collect it for fun when you were young? Welcome to leave a message, comment and communicate together.
