After seeing the recipes, you or feel lucky to live in modern times! What did the poor people eat in ancient China?

The people under the modern society are very happy, they experience the happiness that the modern society can bring, but the ancient human beings are not so lucky, the living conditions in ancient times are very bad, and there is a clear hierarchy, and every year there are a large number of poor people die because they can't afford to eat, and war.

In fact, many modern people may not be able to understand why someone would die because they can't afford to eat. After all, in today's society, even if a person is no longer rich, it is impossible to die because they can't afford to eat. And in some TV works, the ancient society filmed also did not depict the life of the poor in ancient times, very real and vivid.

The ancient poor, without exaggeration, can say, for them to eat is a very luxurious thing, eat on the next meal is very common. The modern sense of full, and the ancient sense of full, but also two very different concepts, just from the food has a very obvious gap.

Of course, this is also a very normal thing, after all, the modern society from any point of view, are far stronger than the ancient society, and the richness of the material and social convenience, not to mention. And as mentioned above, the ancient world has a very clear hierarchy, so the poor and the rich are polarized, if the modern 80% of the wealth is in the hands of 20% of the people, then the ancient world may be 99% of the wealth, may be in the hands of 10% of the people.

The famous poet Du Fu once wrote a poem that goes like this. The vermilion door always stinks of meat, and the road has frozen bones. Simply put, in ancient times, the meat of the big families might be stinking, but the poor old people could only shiver in the snow and become a corpse. Ancient staple food is not enough, so from the people want to live, can only rely on since other things to replace the staple food to feed the hungry, which includes weeds, wild vegetables, wildflowers, fritillary roots and so on some plant rhizomes.

In addition to the lack of staple foods in ancient societies, there were also very few condiments. If you add seasoning, weeds, wild vegetables, wild flowers, fishy grass root can be cooked into a delicious meal. However, completely monotonous just with hot water, not even salt food, although modern people can not eat, but in ancient times in order to survive, these things must be eaten. See these, really also have to admire these ancient working people, live down really hard.

But the good thing is that once the ancient society has been completely away from, society has also entered a new chapter. But shouldn't we treasure today's life more because of the poverty and backwardness of the ancient people, cherish food and refuse to waste it?
