In ancient warfare, soldiers often had to wear heavy armor to fight. Different from the clothes usually worn, the armor can be described as cold in winter and hot in summer, and it is very uncomfortable to wear. As for winter, it is good to say that in the middle of summer, it is really a defense in war. Metal is prone to heat transfer, causing the armor to become the oven itself, making the life that wears it worse than death. When dealing with heavily armored enemy soldiers, generals often deliberately do not fight, so that they can be exposed to the sun and let them collapse without a fight.
Although wearing armor is hot, ancient generals or military doctors will always solemnly warn soldiers: "After the end of the battle, you must not take off the armor immediately, otherwise there is a danger of violent death." ”
For the generals' part, they focused on tactical security. This is because the battle looks like it is over on the surface, but it does not mean that the enemy will not make a comeback. If you take off your armor in a hurry, it will be difficult to resist the enemy's surprise attack. In the age of cold weapons, there was no difference between suicide without armor.
As far as the military doctors were concerned, the reason why they did not allow the soldiers to take off their armor immediately was because there was a terrible disease in the barracks- the wind of armor removal.
According to legend, the great general Kaiping Wang Changyuchun in the early Ming Dynasty died in the wind of armor removal. As we all know, Chang Yuchun is as strong as an ox and is an unstoppable fierce general. Although I have experienced hundreds of battles, I have not heard of any diseases. However, on July 7, the second year of Hongwu (1369), Chang Yuchun, who was 40 years old and in his prime, suddenly died violently in Liuhechuan. For a time, the whole country was shocked, and Zhu Yuanzhang listened to this news and couldn't believe his ears.
So how did the strong And Strong Chang Yuchun die violently? According to legend, changing the spring is to get the wind of armor removal.
The so-called "armor removal wind" means that after a long period of armor piercing battle, the heat and sweat emitted by the body cannot be discharged in time due to heavy armor, and the body cannot be cooled. Coupled with the surge in adrenotrophic hormones during the battle, the heartbeat increases sharply, resulting in faster blood flow and swelling of blood vessels. In particular, surface capillary blood flow increases in a short period of time in order to cool down the body.
At the same time, the fatigue of the battle will also consume a lot of oxygen, making people prone to lack of oxygen. A lot of sweating, but also exacerbates the loss of trace elements in the body.
After the battle, Chang Yuchun couldn't wait to take off his stuffy armor and wanted to cool off. Although the military doctors knew the dangers of unloading armor, who dared to personally persuade this murderous general? In this way, Chang Yuchun committed the taboo of the military and eventually committed suicide.
After Chang Yuchun took off his armor, His body encountered the cold wind on the grassland, and the large amount of evaporation of sweat would cause a sharp drop in body temperature, and the body would suddenly become cold so that the blood vessels contracted, and his heart could not regulate blood flow in time, while the body's oxygen supply was insufficient. Not only will it bring a serious burden to the lungs, but also cause blood clots in his blood vessels, and even suffer from stroke.
As we all know, stroke is a terrible disease, if the rescue is not timely, becoming a vegetative person is light. With the ancient medical conditions, it was impossible to effectively rescue Chang Yuchun. And this peerless fierce general who swept the world and broke the Mongol cavalry was thus nestled and died under the wind of armor removal.
Chinese medicine has clouds "sweat after the work, shelter from the wind like an arrow". Ancient Chinese medicine has much to say about this. For example, the "Record of Mixed Customs" once said: "Avoiding the wind is like avoiding arrows, and avoiding color is like avoiding chaos." "Tao Zhenren Health Song": "Taste the wind like avoiding arrows, sit and lie down to prevent disease, because the hole is opened after eating, the wind is paralyzed." "Sun Zhenren Health Song": "Sitting on the back of the head with the windproof, the wind in the brain is not long-lived." Even more drunk and full of stroke, the wind only became a disaster. ”
And the Qing Dynasty Chinese medicine Shi Tianji also wrote in his book "Heirloom":
"The sadness of the wind and evil is also penetrating into the bones, such as oil mixed noodles, easy to get in and out. Therefore, the old saying cloud: 'Avoid the wind is like avoiding arrows', it is extremely harmful, beware of it. ”
Therefore, when we exercise in our daily life, we must not be greedy and cool. Even in modern times, many people who like sports may be infected with this "armor removal wind". Therefore, after exercising, everyone should not blow the fan or air conditioner immediately. To cool down, you can wipe your body with warm water, drink cold boiled water, step by step, and then blow the fan when it slows down.
