How did the aristocracy raise children in the past? Let's take a look at "Dream of the Red Chamber", one of the four famous works.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" describes the life scenes of ancient nobles, and there are many descriptions of daily living and eating, revealing the children's parenting style of ancient nobles.
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", it is said that after Jia Baoyu was seriously ill, he ate porridge, small dishes and pickles for a long time; when Wang Xifeng's daughter was sick and cold, she asked the doctor who came to see Jia Mu by the way, and the doctor said that the child did not need to take medicine for fever, and it was good to be hungry.
This we often say "want children to be safe, three points of hunger and cold" In fact, there are many times in the book that hunger therapy should be used when maintaining. Why don't you rush to eat nutritious things to replenish your body after a serious illness?
Because Jia Mu is well versed in the way of health maintenance, she knows that after the child is sick and the body is still weak, she cannot digest and absorb so much meat and greasy things. Give him what can be absorbed, let his spleen and stomach slowly restore their function in a relaxed state, and prevent the child from accumulating food due to illness.
In the clinic often encounter such a child, the child has just been discharged from the hospital for a few days, parents have taken the child to see the disease, a question about the diet, most of the parents go home to the child to supplement, chicken, duck and fish meat all stuffed into the child's mouth, eager to put all the nutrition left during the illness to him to eat.
For example, the human body is like a stove that burns wood, when the body is weak, its fire pit is very small, and it is like stuffing a lot of firewood into it, at this time not only can not burn to generate energy, but will produce a lot of smoke, so it will cause congestion. At this time, the smoke is what we usually call fire, so at this time, the supplement not only can not replenish qi and blood, but also consumes the energy of the human body.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" also talks about a plot: Jia Mu steamed a lamb, Jia Baoyu wants to eat, Jia Mu said, this is the medicine of the elderly, how can you eat it? There is a great mystery in this statement, because it is in line with the physiology of a child.
Just like a small sapling, when the sapling is small, you can't give him too much fertilizer, because the root system is not yet developed, water too much fertilizer, and the small tree will wither instead. The child eats too well, blindly adds to the child, does not know how to eliminate the accumulation of stagnation, the child will definitely have problems.
Our modern children, as soon as they are born, do not worry about eating and drinking, we may always remember this old saying " want children to be safe, three points of hunger and cold", on the road to child-rearing, and do and cherish.
