With the development of modern medicine, people's achievements in the field of medicine are far beyond the reach of the ancients, and many medical practitioners can always find many errors after reading the medical classics with the current vision.
For example, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" was once jokingly called "Laughing Forest Guangji" written by Li Shizhen after drinking.
Netizens listed some incomprehensible prescriptions in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", such as "tooth worm: leeks are washed and pounded, mud on the floor of the same family, and the sore cheeks are covered with paper." Remove it at a time, there are fine insects on the mud, can remove the roots. When Li Shizhen recorded the contents of folk miscellaneous studies, they were taken out by the good deeds and ridiculed and degraded.
Gradually, people no longer took the "Compendium of Materia Medica" seriously, and even subconsciously believed that Li Shizhen's medical skills were no more than that.
However, do not forget that among the 11,096 squares in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", only a few fallacies appear, and most of them are folk earth remedies that have been achieved because of feudal ideas and yin and yang errors.
Before the epidemic, many people did not take "What Li Shizhen said 400 years ago that you can't eat wild meat" as a joke, you should eat and drink, you don't know, even if some people know, they turn a blind eye.
After all, wild game has high nutritional value, which is very rare and unique in taste, and can also "cure all diseases".
The history of eating wild game in China can be described as long as the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Yue had a lot of heterogeneous food.
In the "Chu Ci Tianwen" it is recorded: "The more Chu eats, the more barbarian people, there are mountain insects as food, especially like to eat snails."
In the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen from the "Eighteenth Law of the Chunan Food Yiyuan" that after Han Yu was relegated to Chaozhou, it was also found that the locals loved to eat dozens of ingredients that Han Yue had never seen before, such a wild eating habit directly frightened Han Yue.
During the Five Dynasties period, in the records of the Records of the Ling Table, the common people in the Lingnan area had a wide range of food areas, from yuewang birds and owls to centipedes and ants.
In the Song Dynasty, Caizi Zhou went to the "Lingwai Dai Answer" to record: "The people of Shenguang and Xizhi do not ask about birds, beasts, snakes and insects, and they all eat them." ”
In fact, in ancient times, the common people ate wild game only to satisfy their stomachs, especially in the famine years, there was not even turf left, let alone those wild meats.
In the house of the eunuchs, wild meat appears as a "rare thing", symbolizing authority and strength.
But nowadays, everyone eats wild game for two purposes, one is to supplement food, and the other is to taste fresh.
In the Ming Dynasty where Li Shizhen lived, the consumption of wild game was also not uncommon, and it was for this reason that Li Shizhen listed the toxicity of these wild meats in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" to warn the world.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="23" > birds</h1>
The records of birds in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" are limited, in fact, this is also related to the level of science and technology at that time, birds are more difficult to catch than other species, and have less contact, so it is normal that the information on its species classification and other information records are limited.
However, Li Shizhen still described in a general way that "the birds are poisonous", "all birds do not close their eyes from death, do not stretch their feet from death, white birds have their heads, birds with white heads, three feet, four distances, six fingers, four wings, alien shapes, cannot be eaten, and eat and kill."
Presumably many people have wondered if the peacock is so beautiful, will its meat also be delicious?
Li Shizhen regrets to tell you: "The meat tastes salty and cold, there is a small poison, and those who eat its flesh will not take medicine after eating."
In addition to peacocks, there are crows that are "inedible for meat and inedible, eating their flesh and eggs, making people forget"; woodpeckers are "poisonous and inedible because of eating insects".
Woodpecker author can also understand, people who eat crows must also be extremely hungry, normal people who dare to bite?
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="63" > waterfowl</h1>
Interestingly, the author checked the hong goose mentioned by Cha Li Shizhen and found that this is a kind of legendary growth in the Penglai XianShan, resembling Hong, looking like a vulture, without skin and flesh, feathers are birds born of bones, and the most important thing is that their reproductive mode is actually male and female birds looking at each other to get pregnant.
However, what Li Shizhen said should be an ordinary wild goose, if it is really the kind of creature that "looks at you and you are pregnant", it is too outrageous, this waterfowl "meaty salty, flat, small poison, bloating diarrhea.".
The well-known love bird, Mandarin duck is also not edible, in addition to "meaty salty, flat, small poison, post-food headache, dizziness" The most frightening thing is that it may suffer from lifelong diseases.
And the duck (wild duck) also has a taboo, because of the "sweet and cool" characteristics, so the weak body can not eat.
As for the crane (a kind of wild duck), it is "sweet in flesh and has a small poison, especially the black crane meat poison, slippery, cold diarrhea, athlete's foot, inedible."
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="64" > insects</h1>
Among the insects, Li Shizhen recorded wild snails, mountain toads, earthworms, and snails.
Snails and earthworms are slightly toxind, while mountain toads and snails are more severe.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="65" > mammals</h1>
In the records of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", in addition to porcupines (mountain pigs), wild horses, jackals, otters, even the helper rats (weasels) have been eaten, and the most tragic thing is that in addition to the explanation of slight toxins in the evaluation, several "stinky" words are used in a row, which is how smelly it is to leave such a deep shadow.
In addition, bear meat, which is sought after by most people, is also among them, and Li Shizhen said that "those with pain and disease cannot eat it."
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" data-track="66" > lepidocetes</h1>
There are many records of this category, especially snakes, such as pig snakes, grasshopper snakes, white flower snakes, pit vipers, sky snakes, black snakes, golden snakes, etc., most of which are poisonous.
In addition, Li Shizhen also recorded that the scaly carp (pangolin) and the noh turtle (three-legged turtle) are toxic, especially the noh turtle, which is recorded as "fleshy taste cold, poisonous, food killing".
Wild game is not a must-have in people's lives, and now that we have experienced the epidemic, we must all really know the harm of the virus carried by those wild animals.
Besides, domestic livestock are so delicious, there must be a reason why there was no domesticated wild game before.
And those wild food can eat supplements of the remarks are even more ridiculous, can eat more ingredients to supplement, than wild food food supplement effect is not a few ingredients, why hold on to people's wild animals.
Finally, I would like to add that it is everyone's responsibility to protect wildlife.
