People in modern society are very happy. They have realized the happiness that modern society can bring to people, but ancient humans are not so lucky. The living conditions in ancient times were very bad and hierarchical. Every year, a large number of poor people died because they couldn't afford food and war.

In fact, many modern people may not understand why people die because they can't afford food. After all, in today's society, even if a person has no money, he can't die because he can't afford to eat. However, in some TV works, the ancient society filmed did not describe the life of the ancient poor very truly and incisively.

It is no exaggeration to say that for the poor in ancient times, eating was a very extravagant thing, and it was very common for them to have food without food. Moreover, satiety in the sense of modern people and satiety in the sense of ancient people are two completely different concepts, and there is a very obvious gap between food alone.

Of course, this is also a very normal thing. After all, modern society is far stronger than ancient society from any angle, not to mention material richness and social convenience. And as mentioned above, there was a very clear hierarchy in ancient times, so the poor and the rich were also polarized. If 80% of modern wealth is in the hands of 20% people, then 99% of ancient wealth may be in the hands of 10% people.

The famous poet Du Fu once wrote a poem, which said so. Zhumen always smells meat, and there are frozen bones on the road. To put it simply, in ancient times, the meat of a large family might stink, while the poor could only shiver in the snow and turn into a corpse. The staple food in ancient times was not enough, so people can only rely on other things to replace the staple food, including weeds, wild vegetables, wild flowers, houttuynia cordata roots and so on.

In ancient society, there were few condiments except staple food. If you add condiments, weeds, wild vegetables, wild flowers and houttuynia cordata roots, you can make delicious food. However, food that is completely monotonous, just scalded with hot water, or even without salt, cannot be eaten by modern people, but in ancient times, these things had to be eaten in order to survive. Seeing this, I really have to admire these ancient working people. Survival is not easy.

But fortunately, the ancient society has gone away completely and the society has entered a new chapter. However, shouldn't we cherish today's life, cherish food and refuse to waste it just because the ancient people were poor and backward?
