Chapter 53 Extracurricular Answers: How Much Salt Did Ancient Times Eat?
Well, I was just typing, and suddenly I saw many book friends commenting that the ancients ate too much salt, posting historical materials to correct some book friends' concepts!
"Guan Zi - King of the Sea"

Duke Huan said, "What is the correct salt policy?"

Guanzi said to him: "A family of ten eats salt for ten people, and a family of one hundred eats salt for a hundred people. At the end of the month, the eldest son's salt is five liters and half, the eldest daughter's salt is three liters and half, and my son's salt is two liters and half. .”

According to the actual measurement of unearthed cultural relics, one liter of Qi is about 205 milliliters today, and less than half means one-third. The bulk density of salt is divided into thick and thin.

One liter of salt equals about 248 grams today.
The lunar eclipse of an adult strong man is 5.3 liters, which is about 43 grams per day on average.

27 grams for women, 16 grams for children, 27 grams per person per day for a family of five, and about [-] kg for a family of five for a whole month.

Of course, this is the Spring and Autumn Period, and Qi State is close to the sea, let's look at the Han Dynasty.

"Juyanhan Jane"

Juyan is also known as one of the four major discoveries of ancient documents in modern times. A total of tens of thousands of bamboo slips were unearthed, which recorded many things needed by the historians.

Ju Yan: "Officials and soldiers are 11 people, three buckets and three liters of salt."

Ju Yan: [Salt entry and exit book: two stones, one bucket and three liters of salt are taken out, and 71 soldiers are given food. 】

One liter of Chinese is equal to 200 milliliters. Calculated by the cube of the above-mentioned coarse salt, three liters of salt is 726 grams, and a solar eclipse is 24.2 grams. The answer given in the book is not standard because there is no standard answer.

Here is a lunar eclipse of 726 grams for an adult man, and the salt intake of a family of five must be greater than 3000 grams.

A numerical value is written in the book, which can be regarded as specifically pointing out that the protagonist in it only vaguely remembers a number, because it is difficult to give a conclusion in the history of research on this thing.

As for why I ate so much salt in ancient times, my personal introduction, if I am wrong, please point it out!
First, the lack of ancient oil and flavoring agents,

Second, the ancient coarse salt contained impurities,
Third, the labor force in ancient times was much greater than today's. The sun rises and the sun sets and rests. Anyone who has weeded in summer knows that the clothes are covered with salt spots after weeding.

The salt in the body will be evaporated!
Therefore, the older generation has a stronger taste in heavy labor, because people have no salt and fatigue, so they must supplement salt. The best thing to do after work is to drink salt water, but there was no such thing in ancient times.

So, don’t use today to fool the ancients, life is better now, they are all big fat boys, there are countless kinds of seasonings, and oil, meat, etc. can be eaten as much as they want,
At that time, there was no oil, no meat, no various seasonings, no cooking, all relying on salt, it was different.

Now let you dig the ground with a shovel and a shovel, and weed it in the summer. There is no so-called seasoning, no meat, no oil and water, just to see how much salt you eat.

I reckon you could put salt straight in your mouth!
Of course, the main purpose of this book is to correct the common sense that some readers are used to, and I don’t want to mislead you. The historical facts are serious, but it is also thankless.

I just hope that you will give some support and encouragement, and point out any places that do not conform to historical facts at any time. After all, no one can say everything right.

Okay, stop talking,

It's past four o'clock in the morning, so hurry up and go to bed, and I have to go to work tomorrow!There are monthly tickets, recommended tickets, and rich brothers can join in the show?

It's really not easy to write realistically, please give some support,

Good night, old Beibi!
