In costume dramas, we often see that the emperor wants to kill a certain minister, usually rewarding him with three feet of white silk or a glass of poisonous wine. Three feet of white Aya is very easy to understand, that is, let him hang himself, but give a cup of poisonous wine, what is the poison?
Some people say that it is HedingHong, the legendary super poison, as long as people touch their lips, they will undoubtedly die, Yu Qian's grandfather Wang Laozi once served as an official in the Qing Palace, is a first-class Crane Top Red Taster, it is said that he died on the day of taking office.
When Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was given death by Zhao Guangyi, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, he was a cup of poisonous wine with a pulling machine medicine, and after eating it, people would begin to convulse, and finally the head and foot would meet and die in a rickety shape, which was very miserable.
There is also a kind of arsenic cream a kind of poisonous and fierce poisonous wine, in fact, arsenic is crane top red, but the name of arsenic is too common, together with arsenic everyone knows that you are going to kill people, the most well-known story is poisoning Wu Dalang, no matter the name or deeds, there is no crane top red force.
From these stories, we can know that the ancient way of killing people with poisonous wine was more popular, but you may not know that in the detoxification, the earliest famous poison was the duck.
Thus was born an idiom called "drinking and quenching thirst".
The word 鸩 is easy to be seen as a dove, and some people read it as a drinking dove to quench their thirst, so be sure to pay attention to the difference!
Drinking and quenching thirst comes from the Later Han Shu Huo Chen's Biography:
"For example, the cure for hunger in the appendages, the quenching of thirst in the poison of the duck, the intestines have not entered the stomach, and the throat has been cut off."
This practice is like eating appendages to fill the hunger, drinking wine to quench thirst, the food has not yet entered the stomach, burp.
Understand this sentence, the meaning of the idiom is obvious, it is a metaphor for the seriousness of using the wrong method to solve the problem, regardless of the consequences.
It is said that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a person named Huo Chen, like the protagonist in all stories, Huo Chen was a good child who loved to learn from a young age, and he was known as a talented man in the local area, and he was also very successful when he grew up.
Huo Chen had an uncle named Song Guang. He is also an official, a provincial governor, who enforces the law for the sake of honesty and impartiality, and such a person will certainly offend many people in the official arena, as in ancient times.
Those who had been offended by him gathered together and came up with a plan, falsely accusing Song Guang of tampering with the edict without permission, which was the crime of deceiving the king and killing him, and the emperor knew that he was going to kill him by jumping on his feet.
Huo Chen, who was only 15 years old, stood up and wrote to the general Liang Shang: "My uncle has been a governor all his life, and you know how the character of the general is. Now that someone has falsely accused him of tampering with the edict, do you think it is possible? To kill a clean official like my uncle is tantamount to drinking and quenching thirst for the imperial court. ”
After reading the letter, Liang Shang felt that Huo Chen's words were very reasonable, so he told the emperor. The Emperor said, "Well, I'm a wise man, and I wouldn't do such a stupid thing as drinking and quenching my thirst!" ”
Song Guang, rescued.
Quoting a passage from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the previous article mentions the two toxic substances of the appendage and the duck, what do you mean?
Appendages are a traditional Chinese medicine, toxic, serious will lead to kidney failure, of course, the appendages used in Chinese medicine are treated, and when used, please follow the doctor's advice not to mess around, there will be no big problem. Don't borrow this problem on the line to black Chinese medicine, black can't get on the idea.
Many people are very strange, sick to see a doctor, but the doctor said not to do this, do not do that, he does not listen, the result of the money spent, the disease is not cured, run to the hospital to make trouble, this situation belongs to the brain problem, it is recommended to transfer.
The duck is our protagonist today, a bird that exists in legend, its body is black, but its feathers are purple-green, its eyes are red, and its favorite food is snakes. It is said that the whole body of the duck is full of poison, and if you want to poison people, you only need a feather of the bird to rinse it into the wine, colorless and tasteless, and the killing is invisible.
According to legend, during the period of Emperor Hui of Han, Liu Fei, the king of Qi, entered the palace to see him, and Emperor Hui of Han was very kind to him, and he was particularly affectionate with an old brother. Lü Hou was not happy because Liu Fei's mother was the first mistress of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and long before Lü Hou, he had a leg with Liu Bang and gave birth to this son Liu Fei.
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, see who is on whom, this is not nonsense, Liu Bang is the true dragon Tianzi, gave birth to so many sons, Lü Hou He Xuren, as the main house, can you be better!
Therefore, Lü Hou took advantage of a banquet between Emperor Hui of Han and Liu Fei and ordered people to pour two glasses of poisonous wine in front of Liu Fei, and Emperor Hui of Han saw through his mother's poisonous plan, and when Liu Fei raised his wine glass to toast to Lü Hou, Emperor Hui took up another glass of wine, and when Lü Hou saw that his son was also going to die, he couldn't bear it, so he overturned the wine glass in Emperor Hui's hand.
Liu Fei, even if he was a fool, knew that there was something wrong with it, so he pretended to be drunk and left, and only later did he hear others say that those two glasses of wine were wine.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the image of the bird is recorded in detail:
"The duck is as big as an eagle, purple-green, with a long neck and a red beak, the head of the viper, the male name Luck Day, and the female name Yin Harmonious Also."
It is said that the bird is as big as an eagle, purple-green, with a long neck and a red mouth, and loves to eat the head of a pit viper.
There is another description of the partridge in the Classic of Mountains and Seas:
"(Yaobi Mountain) has birds, and its shape is like a pheasant, a perpetual eater, a duck."
Pheasant is a pheasant, the pheasant is an insect, but also refers to a kind of sacred beast that looks like a cow, it has a grandmother's gray white hair, an eye and a snake's tail, which will bring plague to the world, and since the description of the duck is in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", then we can be sure that the dragon here refers to the sacred beast, because the book also records the dragon:
There are beasts, whose shape is like an ox and a white head, and whose name is a snake's tail. If you walk in the water, you will exhaust the grass, and if you see it, you will be plagued by the world. ”
There have always been many theories about what exactly an ostrich is.
The first is a legend: the Classic of Mountains and Seas records that the pit viper feeds on pit vipers, a highly venomous snake that, once injured by pit vipers, has basically no hope of survival.
But the Classic of Mountains and Seas itself is a book rich in myths and legends, and most of the creatures recorded in it have never been seen, but only exist in legends.
The second theory is that the duck is real. Because there are too many records of poison in the history books, it is impossible for people to create such a non-existent thing for no reason, and it is also recorded in the history books. It was only later that the bird became extinct because of the thought of hunting or other reasons.
The third theory is that the bird is the large-crowned vulture, also known as the snake eagle. Its image is similar to that of the legendary duck, and it also feeds on snakes, but the problem is that although the snake eagle can resist the attack of poisonous snakes, it is not poisonous in itself.
There is also a theory that the bird actually refers to the black-headed forest partridge (jú wēng), which is composed of black and orange and is full of poison, and as soon as a person touches its feathers, it will be poisoned, and in severe cases, it will die within a few hours.
The toxicity of the black-headed forest partridge is very similar to that of the partridge, but its color color is black and orange, which is very different from the red and purple-green of the recorded partridge; the partridge is as large as an eagle, and the black-headed forest partridge is a small bird; and the black-headed forest partridge lives in the New Guinea region, which is 18,000 miles away from China.
So what exactly the duck is, there is still no conclusion, maybe it does not exist, but because of the story of Huo Chen, people have replaced the poisonous wine with the wine, which is euphemistic and in line with the way of Chinese.
Some young people, can not find female (male) friends, but in their 20s are in the flesh and blood age, the elves in the body are churning day and night, do not take out the Italian cannon is really impossible to suppress, so they embarked on the road of dating or prostitution, again and again, again, three and addicted, from then on to the covenant and prostitution as their own ideal of life, to the number of people to be proud, others talk about love and a look of contempt said: "Cut, children only talk about love." ”
In fact, it is accustomed to this kind of ruthless, irresponsible chaotic attitude, but it has resisted true love and loving sex, but often walks by the river, where there are not wet shoes, which can guarantee that every time the appointment is a good person, maybe one day will encounter the immortal jump, be cut off a kidney, or infected with a willow disease.
This kind of behavior is tantamount to drinking and quenching thirst. It is too late to regret it, so young people must establish a correct view of love and sexual life, be responsible for themselves, and be responsible for others.
