The song mentioned that the hut was destroyed by the autumn wind: whenever I suddenly see this house, it is enough for me to freeze to death alone. Du Fu was poor in his later years, and he and his newborn children were enduring the freezing cold, but he also hoped that people with aspirations in the world could have plenty of food and clothing. Although this sentence embodies Du Fu's selfless noble feelings, it can also reveal the poverty of ancient people in poverty.

In fact, no matter in which region or era, the gap between the rich and the poor is a problem that history cannot die out. What did many poor people eat in ancient times? Do people really eat roots and bark? From 22 1 year BC to 220 AD, it was the Qin and Han Dynasties in China's history. Some of the most common folk foods are millet, beans and, of course, rice.

However, due to the age, people are not very skilled in the hulling technology of grain. Therefore, in the Qin and Han dynasties, although people already had these grains, the output and production methods were relatively primitive, and there was no way to compare them with the current diet of modern people. In the Han dynasty, the sense of bone was beautiful. In fact, it was also because people didn't like to eat some meat and fishy food at that time, and there were fewer and fewer ways to ingest protein and some trace elements beneficial to the body.

So at this time, people's strong and healthy state will naturally weaken and look thinner. So in the vegetarian Han Dynasty, we will eat some wild vegetables dug in the wild, and also eat some tofu, rice, beans and so on. After 202 BC, the Western Han Dynasty appeared in the history of China. However, due to the relatively open political civilization in the Western Han Dynasty, the diplomatic efforts were strengthened during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. For example, the opening of the Silk Road and the story of Zhang Qian's voyage to the West became a much-told story.

Imported western plants, crops and cash crops ... also enriched people's lives, and then there were bracts, grapes, walnuts and so on. However, all diplomacy is associated with politics in the initial stage. During the Western Han Dynasty, most of the people who could eat these exotic crops were nobles. Throughout China, the food eaten by poor families was consistent.

For example, wild vegetables dug in the field and some food, mainly rice, that landlords have worked hard to get. But in times of poverty, especially in times of great famine, it is normal to eat bark and roots. Because bark contains some starch, one of the most important edible trees is elm.

In A.D. 1 13 1 year, Jin Jun went south, and the people in Song Dynasty had no choice but to eat elm bark. The surface layer of elm bark contains a lot of starch, so elm bark became the main food that people could keep a meal at that time. Take China 1942 famine as an example. At that time, many people were too hungry to walk. At this time, some wild vegetables are mixed with diluted soil to make food similar to meatballs. After steaming, swallow it directly like steamed bread to maintain life.

Therefore, the poorer the poor people were before ancient China, the less they paid attention to what they ate. After all, as long as you can save your life, many things will become more and more melodramatic. But now people's quality of life is getting higher and higher, so many netizens may think that it is impossible to eat these foods after seeing them.
