We often see in the novel that many people have special functions, such as the Shenxing Taibao Daizong in "Water Margin", who can travel eight hundred miles a day, and Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who will set up an altar to pray for the East Wind, and Xu Maogong in "Sui and Tang Dynasties", who can skillfully calculate yin and yang and deduce past events.
So is there some detailed record of the superiority of the ancients? Ancient people to lift the peak to see the level of strength, Xiang Yu called himself "Li Ba Shan Qi Qi Shi" is not without reason, 24-year-old he and his uncle raised troops in Jiangnan uprising, in order to expand their own uprising team, uncle Xiang Liang sent Xiang Yu to recruit the then Qin general Heng Chu, let him raise troops to help.
However, Heng Chu was not optimistic that this pair of uncles and nephews would succeed, and he hoped to defect to Cheng's rebel army to defeat Wu Guang, so Heng Chu said to Xiang Yu, there is a big ding in the courtyard, if you can lift it, we think you have enough strong ability to lead us.
Xiang Yu didn't say a word and picked up his clothes, striding to the front of Da Ding, and with a loud roar, he lifted Da Ding up, and Heng Chu followed Xiang Yu to do something.
Qin Wu Wang Yingdang is a monarch who reigned from 310 BC to 307 BC, the name is somewhat improper, but he is a down-to-earth Hercules, the most like to test strength with others, Qin Shi Huang once held up the Long Wen Chi Ding, this Ding has a thousand jun, although the Qin Wu King lifted up, but because of the loss of his hand to break the tibia of his leg, he died of exhaustion.
There is also a detailed record in the Zizhi Tongjian: "In August, Wang and Meng said that they were lifting up the ding, and there was no pulse. The pulse is tied to the internal organs, and its blood is divided between the branches, and the person lifts the weight and the strength cannot win, so the pulse is extinct and dies.
According to the writer Ma Weidu recalled, when he was a teenager, he went to the countryside, and a young woman accidentally fell into a deep pool, and the young woman could not swim, the water was not good, regrettably died, although the tragedy occurred, or had to fish her body up to give an account to their family.
The pond was very deep, and the people in the village found a person from the next village nicknamed "Yi Liu" and asked him to go down to retrieve the body, only to see this person jump into the waterhole. Three minutes passed, ten minutes passed, half an hour passed, and before he came up, everyone thought he had drowned too.
Unexpectedly, after three hours, the person came out of the water with a deep female Zhiqing, and he couldn't help but be amazed. This makes Ma Weidu remember vividly, and the highest record of underwater breath holding, which is currently recognized by Guinness, is 24 minutes and 3 seconds of espanyol Aleixsegura in 2017, and many people are skeptical about people who can hold their breath underwater for three hours.
At the same time, there are rumors of carrying two hundred kilograms of night and fifty kilometers at night, but the current army is carrying ten kilograms of cross-country five kilometers is a very difficult to consume physical strength.
Xiang Yu's big ding did not have detailed data to describe the weight, but the ancient big ke ding had 201 kilograms, and simu pengding had 800 kilograms, and the two of them were estimated to be able to lift 200 kilograms of ding, and now the world record for weightlifting is 264 kilograms.
Therefore, it is possible that Xiang Yu and Yingdang can lift the big ding, but it is difficult for ordinary people to do it now, and it may also be the reason for the improvement of life, the old people in the past sixty or seventy years old can pick up objects with thirty or forty kilograms of flat burdens, but now many young people in the office in their twenties and thirties are difficult to do.
In the backward and arduous past, it is not surprising that the will to temper people's survival can really hold their breath underwater for 3 hours and carry a weight of 200 pounds a day for 50 miles.
