In the Tang Dynasty, bath beans were greatly popular with the royal nobility.
Bath beans are the same as hand balm, incense and bath cleansers.
It was mostly used by the royal nobles as a gift to the courtiers,
At the same time, bath beans are still in use across several dynasties.
Question 1: Do bath beans have a magical cleansing effect?
Question 2: What is the secret of the prosperity of bath beans in ancient times?
Out of curiosity about the above two questions,
I'm going to make a minimalist version of the bath bean myself,
(Some spices have been cut from the original ancient recipe)
See how well it cleanses?
And explore the mystery of the long-term prosperity of bath beans.

Bath beans became popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties,
Because of an incident in the "New Language of the World"
And the attention that has been raised:
Wang Dunchu Shang Lord, go to the toilet, see the lacquer box containing dried dates, originally to plug the nose,
The king said that the fruit was also laid on the toilet, and the food was exhausted. Not only, the golden bath plate is filled with water
The glass bowl holds bath beans, and because they are drunk in the water, it is said to be dry rice. The crowd laughed without hiding their mouths.
Wang Dun's horse mistakenly washed his hands
"Bath beans" are used as dry food to drink
And cause people to laugh,
Meaning that this man is rustic,
Do not understand the hygiene habits of high society,
So far people have also passed through this event,
Reacquainted with bath beans.
Judging from the situation at that time,
It is understandable that Wang Dun drank the bath beans by mistake,
Because bath beans are mainly edible bean flour,
It is then mixed with more than a dozen kinds of incense spray materials and medicinal herbs
Make a bowl of bath bean water,
It will make Wang Dun's horse think that it is dry rice.
Dry rice is like noodle tea in old Beijing,
Of course, I thought it was a delicious dish.
In the Tang Dynasty, bath beans have entered their heyday.
The bath is controlled by the imperial court physician,
At that time, the ban on the bath party was not allowed to pass on,
Until the appearance of a man,
Sun Simiao, the author of "A Thousand Golden Wings Fang", recorded this:
Face fat hand cream, fragrant bath beans,
Victory is all that is needed.
However, the medical door of today is extremely secret,
Children are not allowed to leak a law,
As for the father and son, it is not transmitted.
It is explained that bath beans were only available at that time
Royal aristocrats use,
It is not excluded that the bath party will be held in the palace through a private order
Sold to the upper aristocratic officials and courtiers of society,
And Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty said this:
However, the saints legislated so that the family would be understood and everyone would know it.
It is strange that he is foolish to the world, that the Tao is not good, and that he has the will of the saints.
Sun Simiao broke the authority of the time,
and firmly believe in the meaning of the saints,
It's about making everyone benefit from it.
Bath beans are a necessity for everyone's life,
Isn't it better to be open?
So there is a bath party with a thousand golden wings:
Cloves Agarwood Aoki fragrant peach blossom stalactite powder pearls
Jade shavings Shu water flowers Papaya flowers three or two pear blossoms Red lotus flowers
Plum blossom Cherry blossom White marshmallow flower Whirling compound flower four or two musk baht each
On the seventeen flavors, pound the flowers, don't pound the incense, don't grind the pearls and jade crumbs into powder,
Hopewell soybean powder seven, study a thousand times, secret storage do not leak.
Commonly used to wash the face for a hundred days, its face is like jade light and pure luster,
The odor powder is removed, and the throat and arms are washed, and they are all washed.
Rich and precious spices and herbs,
Mainly minced beans,
It is made into a thin ball shape, hence the name of the bath bean.
Bean paste is mostly made of legume plants,
Such as peas, mung beans and soybeans,
Because legumes contain saponins,
Can remove dirt, clean,
Among them, cloves and roses can moisturize the skin,
It becomes more delicate and rosy.
Pearls play a role in whitening and moisturizing,
Oil control and skin refreshment effect
From Fangzi, I know that this is a cleanser for rich people.
Even if it is open to the public, ordinary people look at this square,
I guess I don't even want to take a bath!
(In ancient times, ordinary people used soap horns,
Maybe use a "minimalist version" of bath beans)
Until the Ming Dynasty,
Bath bean cleansers are still used by people.
In the thirty-eighth episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber", it is recorded as follows:
When everyone appreciates the osmanthus flowers and eats crabs,
Sister Feng ordered the little ladies to take "the mung bean noodles smoked with osmanthus flowers and prepare to wash their hands."
To say natural environmental protection and cleanliness,
The bath beans used by the ancients are not at all comparable
Modern artificial chemical materials are poor in cleansing supplies.
I think that a good product should be based on nature,
After use, it will not pollute the ecological environment,
And the product is healthy and sustainable.
This can also be well explained,
Why the ancients were able to live in harmony with nature,
And this is also the bath bean can be from the Wei and Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty,
One of the reasons for the prosperity.
