How did the Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest invent "Walking"?
Therefore, celebrities choose to drink, play the piano, recite poems, and take drugs ... whatever makes them comfortable. One is to avoid disaster, and the other is to "cultivate immortality"-after all, the world is not worth it, and maybe it will be comfortable after becoming an immortal!
as we all know, the most wild among them is the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", who, while not accustomed to the world, is thinking about where to avoid disaster and live in seclusion. So they found that there is a treasure trove of geomantic omen at the junction of Jiaozuo and Xinxiang, where mountains and forests are covered with bamboo, so it is better to settle here.
However, just playing the piano and drinking in a band every day seems a bit boring, and they have to have something "addictive", so they choose "taking drugs"-Wushisan.
It is said that this "Five Stones Powder" was necessary for celebrities to cultivate immortality at that time: it was composed of five minerals: stalactite, purple Shi Ying, Bai Shiying, red Shi Ying and sulfur. Mix together to make medicine powder to be taken. After eating it, people feel hot all over, their skin is red and white, and they are mentally confused. Over time, these seven people began to get used to wide robes and big sleeves, and they were drunk all day. Liu Ling was even more free and easy to wear clothes-"Heaven and earth are buildings, and the room is pants." As the saying goes, a dose of five-stone powder after drinking will lead to a happy life.
However, this medicine has a side effect. If you don't move after taking it, the toxicity will attack, and the symptoms are chest tightness, shortness of breath, numbness of limbs and dizziness ...... In order to relieve the symptoms, you must always "take two steps", which is called "dispersing". Taking two steps is to release the medicine gas, and the symptoms will be alleviated, so you have to take two steps if you are not sick.
With more walking, the process of releasing medicine gas seems to emerge as a fairy. As a result, these seven immortals are light and healthy, and they are more and more comfortable in the bamboo forest. Drinking, taking drugs, playing the piano, taking a walk, that's probably what immortality is all about, right?
many years later, Ruan Ji was drunk for 6 days and kept crying. Ji Kang wrote "Breaking Up with Shan Ju Yuan", played a song "Guangling San", and calmly went to prison; Shan Tao lived in seclusion again after the "change of Gao Pingling"; Liu Ling heard the special envoy calling him to be an official, so she tried her best to make herself drunk and crazy ... Taking medicine was just an illusion, but it couldn't relieve her depression. The land of Shanyang, which was once elegant, is as sad as the story of Han and Wei Dynasties: Emperor Xiandi, who was named Shanyang Duke, was lost in the ancient road of desolate city; After the Seven Sages, the Six Dynasties became easier, and they became desolate. Five stones scattered into the legend of Taoist classics, and the noisy "talking clearly" has gradually become despised by the world.
Since then, although no one has taken Wushisan to cultivate immortality, they have left a word for health preservation-walking.
Nowadays, although people don't take any pills and don't need to walk to disperse, there are things that are more turbid than medicine. So taking a walk to help digestion, strengthening the body and calming the mind, should also be regarded as a solution to the turbid qi of the heart.
From "taking medicine for dispersion" to "taking a walk after meals", although the forms are different, what they want is probably the same, right?
