Pursuit of Food for Success ~ Tang Dynasty to Qing Dynasty
In the Tang Dynasty in history, the imperial examination system began to appear. Its greatest significance is that anyone with talent, ability, and passing examinations can get ahead.
Therefore, as in the past, the inequality of being born a noble or born a slave has been completely broken. As long as everyone works hard, they will have a bright future, return home and honor their ancestors. However, although everyone works hard and wants to succeed, there are too few values that can be pursued in society, such as the quota of middle-ranking candidates, the distribution of wealth, and the positions of high-ranking officials. It's not easy to get a broken head.
Therefore, the wise ancient people found that in the fierce competition, only by improving their ability can they be successful, and among the many methods to improve their ability (including Feng Shui,studying, working hard, praying to God and worshipping Buddha...), from the aspect of things getting started is the quickest and most effective way. . .
Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, all kinds of foods that claim to be able to help success and enhance ability have been released.
If you want to succeed in the exam, you have to eat "Jidi porridge";
To eliminate the struggle, eat the "Manchu-Han Banquet";
To get rich, you have to eat "rich dishes"
To have a good mind, eat eggs, lard, and walnuts. . . to make "Jinshi Cake";
If you want to do things well, you must often eat "ruyi dishes" (a kind of soybean sprouts);
If you want to forget your troubles, eat "Wangyoucao" (a kind of Lily flower vegetable);
If you want to be healthy and not getting old, you must eat "longevity fruit". . .
Don't underestimate these foods, thinking that they are just for fame and reputation with nice names. You must know that they have profound knowledge behind them. For example, if you want to do things well, you should eat more ingredients in soybean sprouts. If you try to analyze it qualitatively, you can find that it is rich in nicotinic acid and magnesium. According to the research of Master Chen Yikui, these elements have a considerable effect on a cheerful mood and a stable personality. If you eat it for a long time, you will naturally feel happy and greet people with a smile. Of course you will get success naturally.
Jinshi cakes made of eggs, oil, walnuts, etc. are even better! According to Master Chen Yikui's long-term research on the brain, if we want the brain to be smart and have a good memory, it must supply sufficient lecithin and fatty acids. Lecithin is rich in animal protein, especially in eggs; unsaturated fatty acids are the most in vegetable oil, and walnut kernels are rich in vitamins and minerals such as zinc, manganese, B1, etc., which are quite effective for brain nerve activation. It has been a well-known brain food since ancient times. Unexpectedly, the ancients combined the three so skillfully to help and pass the exam. The ancients did not know the scientific principles behind it, but they developed such a food with long-term experience and practice. It is really admired by today's people.
Let's take a look at the "Wangyoucao", it is also called Hemerocallis. Bai Juyi said, "Du Kang can relieve boredom, and Hemerocallis can forget your worries." Why can the flower get away the worry? It’s iron content of soil is amazing, it is nearly ten times higher than that of spinach, the "king of vegetables", and iron is an important element for hematopoiesis. Long-term consumption of natural blood circulation is good, and the complexion is rosy and the blood is smooth. Naturally, it is not easy to be depressed. Therefore, these foods not only have its specific function, but also have substantial utility.
