Cand am vazut prima data serialul am pierdut cateva episoade. Totusi in cele pe care le-am vazut erau atat de multe lucruri demne de retinut incat mi-am propus sa le traduc din subtitrarile pe care le-am gasit in engleza.
In episodul 7, cel in care Jang Geum e trimisa la ierbar se face mare caz de faptul ca ea a reusit sa cultive in Coreea o planta medicinala care era importata din China la preturi f mari.
E interesanta scena in care ni se face dovada coruptiei care domnea la curtea regala (alta dovada este si in episodul difuzat vineri, in scena in care aflam ca secretara are interese mari in cultivarea ceaiului si ca favorurile se obtineau prin mituire fie prin cadouri date in vazul lumii, fie prin, ca sa zic asa, atribuiri directe de terenuri fara licitatie) atunci cand potentatii il avertizeeaza oe doctorul cel betiv sa nu mai cultive astragalus pt ca le distruge monopolul care le permitea sa obtina castiguri fabuloase din comertul cu acesta planta medicinala. Rezolvarea recurgand la un siretlic nu cred ca e aplicabila la noi oricat de necesara se dovedeste reducerea, pt ca starpirea nu se poate, a acestui flagel care practic a distrus economia noastra.
Pt ca in titrarea de la TVR astragalus s-a tradus prin mazariche (care e cu totul altceva, la noi exista si sub numele de fasolica, Lathyrus tuberosus este o planta des intalnita pe campurile noatre, remarcata prin florile rosii f placut mirositoare si care are pe radacini niste noduli care erau folositi ca hrana mai demult --din cauza masurilor lui Zeus s-ar putea sa revina in actualitate--fie cruzi, fie fierti in apa sarata sau prajiti in ulei, dar care consumati in cantitate mare produc constipatie si flatulatie= actiune carminativa--sursa "Plante alimentare din flora spontana a Romaniei" de Constantin Dragulescu) am fost curioasa de e astragalusul.
Dialogul care mi se pare mai interesant in legatura cu acesta planta suna asa:
Everyone knows what astragalus root is because of what happened
What happened?
People thought sophora flower was astragalus so they put that in their medicine An envoy went to Ming China during Yeonsan-Kun era and he told the people that it wasn't astragalus so they couldn't put in sophora, and since we don't know how to grow astragalus, the price kept going up.
Toata lumea stie ce este radacina de astragalus din cauza unei intamplari.
Ce intamplare?
Oamenii credeau ca floarea de sophora este astragalus asa ca au folosit-o ca leac. un sol a mers in China dinastiei Ming in timpul lui Yeonsan-Kun ao le-a spus oamenilor ca nu este astragalusasa ca nu pot folosi sophora ca leac, si pt ca noi nu stim sa cultivam astragalus pretul lui a tot crescut.
Am ascultat deci sfatul Farului de la Cotroceni si am apelat la Google ca sa aflu ce sunt astragalusul si sophora.
Iata ce am aflat despre astragalus:
Astragalus (also known as Huang qi, milk vetch) is native to northern China and the elevated regions of the Chinese provinces Yunnan and Sichuan. Astragalus actually is the root of the Astragalus membranaceus plant, which is a member of the pea family. The portion of the plant used medicinally is the four-to seven-year-old dried root collected in the spring. Although there are many varieties in the Astragalus family (such as Astragalus e.g., Chinensis, Lentiginosus and Trigonus), Astragalus membranaceus is the sole medicinal type. Astragalus has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 4000 years as a tonic and an antipathogen. Astragalus is a good source of selenium, an antioxidant and immune system stimulant.
Astragalusul (cunoscut si ca Huang qi, milk vetch) provine din nordul Chinei si din regiunile inalte ale provinciilor chineze Yunnan si Sichuan. Astragalus este radacina plantei Astragalus membranaceus, care este un membru al familiei leguminoase. In scopuri medicale se foloseste radacina uscata a unei plante de 4-7 ani, recoltata primavara. DXesi exista multe varietati din familia Astragalus (ex Chinensis, Lentiginosus and Trigonus) Astragalus membranaceus este singura medicinala. Astragalus a fost folosit in medicina traditionala chineza ca tonic si antipatogen. este o sursa buna de seleniu, un antioxidant si un stimulant al sistemului imunitar.
Cateva date in plus am gasit si pe alt site:
Astragalus genus consists of some 2000 species of the legume family Fabaceae including milk vetch, locoweed and goat’s thorn. However, only two of these species, Astragalus membranaceus and Astragalus mongholicus are generally used for health purposes. These are native to the North and East of China, Mongolia and Korea. So if you are going to use it, don’t go picking a local common variety and making your own preparations, since toxicity between species varies, and possible side effects are unpredictable. Stick to commercially available supplements which may also be labelled bei qi, huang qi or ogi, hwanggi.
Genul Astragalus consista din cam 2000 de specii din familia de leguminoase Fabacee (din care face parte si bobul, care consumat in exces produce favismul, o intoxicare destul de grava a organismului) care include milk vetch, locoweed si goat’s thorn ( cornul caprei)Totusi, numia doua din aceste specii, Astragalus membranaceus si Astragalus mongholicus, sunt folosite in scopuri medicinale. acestea sunt native din Nordul si Estul Chinei, Mongolia si Coreea. Asa ca daca va hotarati sa le folositi nu apelati la o varietate locala comuna ca sa va preparati singuri leacul, pentru ca unele specii pot fi toxice, si efectele secundare pot fi inpredictibile. Folositi doar suplimentele din magazinele speciale care pot purta etichete de bei qi, huang qi or ogi, hwanggi

Medicinal uses and health benefits of astragalus
Astragalus strengthens metabolism and digestion, raises metabolism, aids in strengthening the immune system, and is used in the healing of wounds and injuries. Astragalus is an adaptogen, a type of nontoxic natural substance that helps the body maintain its normal balance of health and wholeness and increases the body's endurance and resistance to a wide array of physical, chemical, and biological stressors. Astragalus enhances body energy. It promotes metabolism of serum and liver proteins, stimulates growth of antibodies, increases white blood cells, and thus increases resistance to viruses. Taken as a tonic, astragalus is believed to build stamina and vitality. Adaptogens help normalize the functioning of various body systems by affecting the action of hormones. Astragalus inhibits gastric secretions, reduces gastric acid, and thus helps cure stomach ulcers.

Astragalus stimulates production and activation of the white blood cells, which fight infection. It helps increase and protect the number of white blood cells in the body needed for a healthy immune response. Astragalus has certain inhibiting effects on molecular pathological changes caused by viruses, increases growth of plasma cells, stimulates synthesis of antibodies, and builds up body defense. By boosting the immune system, Astragalus may help reduce the risk of a person becoming ill with a bacterial or viral infection. Astragalus also stimulates the adrenal glands, whose functions are suppressed in cancer.

Am fost curioasa sa stiu si ce e sophora si daca foloseste la ceva. Tot Google m-a ajutat:
Sophora Flower (huai hua mi)
What is sophora flower? What is it used for?

Ca sa ma intorc la serial, inainte de concursul pt ocuparea postului de doamna la curte au fost anuntate candidatele ca din cauza ca s-au angajat prea mult persoane si au crescut cheltuielie prea mult sunt necesare reduceri drastice de personal, din 20 vor ramane doar 10. Sotul meu radea " Basescu a dat dispozitie sa fie difuzat acest episod (cred ca era chiar inaintea mitingului) pt ca ii da apa la moara"
Si uite ca m gasit de ce era dispretuita JG ca provine dintr-o familie de macelari, acestia erau considerati cei mai jos pe scara sociala. De aceea a protestat micuta JG in timpul luptei dintre tatal sau si trisorul care l-a invinuit ca a fost taiat, spuand ca tatal ei nu e macelar
