In the 1830s, Britain, Portugal and other armed forces smuggled opium into the southern border of China. A large number of opium was transported into China, endangering the health of our people, and countless gold and silver flowed out of the country, making the country weak and the people poor. Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty accepted the memorial of Lin Zexu's ban on smoking, and sent Lin Zexu to Guangzhou to investigate and deal with it, forcing foreign opium merchants to hand over more than 20000 boxes of opium in Humen, weighing 1175 tons. In order to destroy these harmful drugs, two large pools, 45 meters long and 45 meters wide, were specially built. The bottom of the pool is paved with stone slabs, and the surrounding fence piles are nailed. A culvert is opened beside the pool, and a ditch is opened behind the pool. When the opium was destroyed, the pool was first filled with water, and then the salt was sprinkled into the brine. The opium was put into the pool in batches and dissolved in the brine. Then put in quicklime to stir and cause reaction immediately. The explosion opened, causing it to decompose and corrode. Finally, the mixed waste residue is washed away with river water, leaving no trace. Three weeks later, destructed opium was finally destroyed.

Historical influence

The smoke of Humen has curbed the spread of opium in China to a certain extent, and has a positive impact on the people. Secondly, the anti smoking campaign greatly increased the awareness of the Chinese people about the harmfulness of opium, made many people see clearly the essence of opium trafficking from Britain to China, and awakened the patriotic consciousness of the Chinese people. After this incident, Lin Zexu, the hero of the ban on smoking, was regarded as a national hero by the Chinese people

. Its honest and upright character is also praised by later generations. But China from the mire of destructed opium in Humen did not effectively accelerate the British aggression against China. Destructed opium campaigns directly damaged the interests of the British bourgeoisie, and the British government decided to launch a long planned aggressive war against China. "Humen tobacco" has also become the fuse for the foreign powers to launch the Opium War. Destructed opium from China's China's modern history has been accelerated by the "Humen cigarette".

On the one hand, the smoke of Humen aroused a lot of patriotic and insightful people in China at that time. They began to reflect on themselves and redefined China's position in the world. They no longer regarded themselves as a "Heavenly Kingdom". On the other hand, it also greatly inhibited the opium trade in China by Britain, dealt a heavy blow to the trade plunder of the British bourgeoisie in China, and showed the firm determination and awakening consciousness of the Chinese people to ban smoking.

In addition, this incident has also become an example of the world's anti smoking campaign. In history, many countries and regions have followed suit to curb the spread of drugs.

The victory of Lin Zexu's anti smoking campaign safeguarded the dignity and interests of the Chinese nation. Never seen in past history destructed opium imperialism is an important example of China's "Humen cigarette sales". It is also an unprecedented feat in human history. Historians believe that it shows the determination of the Chinese nation to fight against foreign aggression and is of symbolic significance for the Chinese people to fight against foreign aggression.

Related Poems

Humen tobacco destructed opium (four poems)

What is the power

Let the thin body

After a hundred years of sea breeze and waves

Strong and high

Never die

Why do you have a strong face

The angry eyes

It's getting clearer

Figures of strong men carrying lime and opium

There was the sound of a trumpet mixed with excitement

In the fog

Slowly melting into immortality in history books

If not in the Naval War Museum

The faint yellow paper with the word "to heaven"

Waxy cheeks with turbid tears

Maybe it won't be the sorrow of history

There's no reason why we don't hate it

The well-dressed and well fed troublemakers

Ignore the limb and arm of a strong man

And a head dripping with blood

Forbearance called heroes heartbroken heart beat chest suddenly

Crying blood in southern Xinjiang

To bury this pit in the poisonous flame of the great powers

magnificent feat

Strangled under the top band stained with filthy blood

Only in the throat of wine and meat

Oh! Destructed opium

May you be a wound that will never heal

Let future generations remember

Hard to look back

Who played the farewell flute

The oar of the blue boat gently pulled out the calm water

On the platform

But Qin e's sad eyes

Grass by the road

Carrying Jiang Lang's tears

Southern blue sky

Blurred in the flashing street lights and neon

The roaring whistle

With a smile on the lawn

The whisper in my ear is still there

The faint fragrance in my breath is still there

The green silk in my hand is still there

The hazy eyes in my mind are still there

The past

It's the full moon over the stone bench

Swimming with fish in the pool

I can't swing my sleeves

I can't be a cloud in the sky

Heavy luggage

Filled with the sadness of the morning breeze and the waning moon

Soothing music

How can not find a harmonious resonance

The wind lifts your soft and bright hair

Tears from the corner of my eyes

Light sprinkling on my heart

I can't see it's your wet face

Or the mist rising from the mountains

Move and go together

Parting hate is like spring grass

Go further and live longer

Approaching Xiaoxiang

Because Qu Zi is wearing it

In the head of the wreath made of LAN GUI Jiao Hui

Once conceived a beautiful love story

Your gorgeous, charming and perfectlyly made-up face.

My eyes are full of sorrow

Because thousands of people are moving away

The rendering of the feeling of climbing and overlooking

Love and forget

Wine in the wind

Lingering dream

You are my hometown

Not at Orange Island

Guiding the country, inspiring the words

I just want to be a boat

Slowly drifting in

A continuous picture of Xiaoshui and Xiangshui

Or as a small carp in Dongting Lake

or

I can be the juntong under Yuelu

today

I'm going to get close to you

I dare not hope

You can be a poet

I just want to see the orange sunset on the water

prostrate oneself in worship

And banish my heart in the lake

There will be no more dryness and desolation

Rain in the deep city

A girl in South China holding Pearl

Can also change the soft and tender

Put on the thin clothes

Shake hard in the sky

roll

Dark clouds suddenly rose between the eyebrows

There was a sudden thunder on his lips

Tears will bring a touch of sea breeze

All over the sky

The forest of distant mountains

And nearby buildings
