How absurd was the "Wind of Wei and Jin" before 1600 years ago? The tomb found a strong medicine, and the experts denounced it
In China's long history of 5,000 years, there are two periods of great chaos, one is the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the other is the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period after the fall of the Tang Dynasty. In contrast, Zhao Guangxu established the Song Dynasty in only 54 years in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, ending the chaotic era, while the Wei and Jin Dynasties continued for more than 400 years on Chinese soil from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms of Cao Wei to the establishment of the Sui Dynasty. There are generally few records of this period in history books. In addition to the "Five Hu Chaohua", there is also the absurd "Wei Jinfeng".
Objectively speaking, the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Southern and Northern Dynasties implemented the clan system. In some places, feudal lords had vast lands and estates, and even overwhelmed the emperors of the dynasty. Therefore, the degree of war was far lower than that of the later Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Even at that time, there were many literati aristocrats, each of whom was imbued with a style of elegance and humanity. They often gather in groups under the shade of trees and bamboo forests, drinking, chanting, and bragging, which is the legendary "Wei JinFeng". According to the description in the Book of Jin, the celebrities living at that time spent more time on making wine than on refining dan medicine.
In the mid-1990s, an archaeological team excavated a mausoleum of an Eastern Jin dynasty king on a hillside outside Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. The mausoleum was owned by Wang Bin and his empress Danhu, who often served as a straggler during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Bin was the first famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Because he helped the Jin Yuan Emperor Sima Rui go south to Jiankang, he was awarded the title of "the world's largest family" by the Jin Dynasty.
At first, archaeologists wondered why Wang Danhu, as the world's first pearl in the world, was buried in his father's tomb during the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Later, archaeologists found the answer after discovering the coffin of their father and daughter. It turned out that the coffins of Wang Bin and Wang Danhu were filled with "five stones and scatters". This is a powerful medicine recorded in the history books of the alchemy furnace. The book only says that "after taking five stones, it will make people excited and energetic!" Subsequently, the experts immediately carried out scientific tests on these Wushi Mountains.
Studies have found that these antique medicines contain a large amount of heavy metals such as mercury, and excessive consumption can greatly damage human fertility and nervous system. On the tomb epitaph, archaeologists found that Wang Danhu lived to be 60 years old and should have descendants of the three generations of the Eastern Jin Dynasty 1600 years ago. Therefore, experts speculate that Wang Danhu lost his fertility due to excessive use of The Five Stone Mountain and never married in the Wang family. From the coffins scattered with five stones, we can see that they cannot do without this ancient "drug" until death. We can't help but let the experts dismiss the "Wind of Wei and Jin" as ridiculous to the extreme!
