Now we have also watched a lot of costume dramas, and I believe that everyone will be more or less curious about the paternity test inside. Before Zhen Huan's biography, there was a very wonderful passage, the emperor did not believe that Zhen Huan's son was his own child, so he sent someone to bring a bowl of water to see if the blood could be integrated. If it can be melted, it is biological, and vice versa. Not only did Zhen Huan have this kind of plot, but Xingye's Nine Pin Sesame Officer also finally caught the prisoner by means of dripping blood and confessing his relatives. Blood recognition was a common method of paternity testing in ancient times, so there are other methods in addition. Let's take a look at the ancient methods of paternity testing!
1. Paternity testing of blood to recognize relatives
This is a plot that often exists in costume dramas, judging whether it is a parent-child relationship according to the degree of coagulation of the blood. But in fact, this method is not completely reliable, but it also has a certain rationality. Historically, there have been people who have dripped blood to recognize relatives for the sake of family property, and as a result, they later found out that their children were not biological. However, there are also errors in this method, resulting in some unjust, false and wrong cases, because later we found that anyone's blood dripping together will soon congeal into one. Some books also say: "The matter of dripping blood is not exhausted."
2. Paternity test drop bone recognition
In ancient times, there was not only the method of recognizing relatives with dripping blood, but also the method of recognizing relatives with bone drops. This method is aimed at claiming the remains of relatives who have passed away. The ancient Chinese tradition is about recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, this method is to drop blood on the bones, if the blood can penetrate into the bones, it is related. There have also been famous corresponding cases in previous history, such as the case of Xiao Zong's father. But this method, like the method of blood confession, is not perfect. Through modern medical investigations, it has been found that if the periosteum decays, no matter whose blood can penetrate. In the same way, if the periosteum is not decayed, even the blood of a loved one will not penetrate.
3. The paternity test looks at its appearance and shape
Until now, we still talk about whether there is a relationship through this method. Sometimes when you see someone else's child, you may say, Oh, this eye is almost the same as his father, really worthy of his own birth. The personality is also, all with his mother. In fact, the ancients also regarded this method as a method of paternity testing, by judging whether the child's appearance, personality, etc. is biological, and even some will look at the walking posture, etc., but in fact, this method is a little too subjective.
4. Family bond appraisal method for paternity testing
Many people say that the blood between family members is connected, and there can be blood induction between relatives. This statement actually has a certain relationship, for example, sometimes the family has a bad situation, we will always feel more or less uneasy, or there are some signs. In ancient times, some mothers-in-law could not have children, and the birth mother of the child who passed over would always be more concerned about the safety of the child than the adoptive mother. This is also a manifestation of blood induction, but it is still a bit unreliable to judge the birth mother with this judgment.
From the perspective of modern medicine, there are still some scientific principles in the methods of paternity testing of the ancients, but it is still unreliable to use this as the basis for paternity testing. At present, our science and technology are very developed, and the accuracy of parent-child relationship testing through the blood test of the hospital is still very high, and everyone can go to the hospital for testing if necessary.
