With the development of the productive forces, now our material life is getting richer and richer, and if nothing else, let's say that in terms of eating, the varieties that can be eaten, the patterns and richness of dishes, are also unexpected by the ancients who wanted to break their heads.
In ancient times, the pot as a cooking utensils, was the Song Dynasty began to popularize, before this especially in the Qin and Han dynasties, people want to eat cooked things are difficult, with Ding cooked things, because the edge of Ding is too thick, so it can only be sandwiched. Such bleak living conditions, the ancients are thin and weak like chickens is also a common thing, not to mention the peasants who rely on the sky to eat, that is, the soldiers who kill the enemy for the country, many of them are also described as weak, and their faces have vegetables. From this point of view, the reason why the warriors are painted with large waists, tigers with bears' waists and large abdomen actually means that they have the conditions to eat well, and are rich enough, and the material living standards are above everyone else. Have you found that ancient emperors were also the image of big bellies?
Ancient grain is not enough to distribute, even in the army, it is not enough, in the people is more melon and fruit half a year of grain, but the general will give a full amount of grain and meat, so the big "general belly" is an important embodiment of the general's social status, but also the most powerful symbol of the general's status and class, is the concept caused by the insurmountable class,
There was no gym in ancient times, and there was no popular eight-pack abs, wide shoulders and narrow back, it is said that the thing is not practical and does not resist beating, because there is no fat, real fighters have thick fat protection, big belly and short neck, look bad but very practical, Japanese sumo wrestlers are also fat wall layer is very thick, so that you can effectively disperse the strength of the blow, is a great protection for internal organs.
So did the ancient general have a big general's belly? Guan Yu once said to Cao Cao: "The body is quite heavy, and the horse cannot bear it." "It shows that Xiang Yu is definitely not light." It is said that Xiang Yu has a height of 1 meter 9, more than 200 pounds, I think 1 meter 9 height, then can eat, definitely more than 200 pounds. With such a weight coupled with the weight of the horses, Second Master Guan picked up the Green Dragon Yanyue Knife that was not light and chopped it down, and it was estimated that even if he relied on inertia, he could shoot the other party into meat paste. So don't believe in any strategy and tactics, in ancient times it was still a confrontation of forces, who has the most power, who can shoot who kills. Even if Second Master Guan relied on inertia to sprint and sit on the other side, it was estimated that the other party would be photographed into meat paste.
So don't blindly diet to lose weight, don't be afraid of becoming a greasy middle-aged uncle, after all, the fat layer can prevent colds, keep warm, and have strength. In fact, the resistance of fitness trainers is not good at all, once the climate changes, they are the first to catch a cold, only the muscles do not have a fat layer is unscientific, the creation of heaven is in accordance with a certain law, the heavens give people skeletal muscles and fat, only constitute the beauty of a person as a whole, if you blindly lose fat, do not fat, people will be deformed, deformed people can not be called people, then how can there be health, how can there be real strength?
Ancient warriors were very able to eat, according to the amount of food heroes, once someone asked "Honest and old, can you still eat?" Lian Po proved that he could eat, ate a lot at a time, almost ate and vomited, and finally made his opponent shudder, because as long as the warrior could still eat, it was the majestic wind that year, which was enough to make people jealous. Lian Po eats in units of "liters", and Fan Duo can eat pork raw, which is the reason for the strength of the martial generals.
Yue Fei is also a person with a general's belly, he can eat, his strength is very large, he can pull 3 stone bows with his bare hands, that is, three hundred pounds, so if he wants to become a warrior, he can eat, and his strength is a necessary condition, and the big belly means that he can eat, which is an advantage rather than a disadvantage, so we can't measure ancient times with a modern point of view.
After all, modern people mostly pursue flashy beauty, while ancient people pursue pragmatic things.
