EBE Chapter 577 Five Stone Powder
Chapter 577 Five Stone Powder
At this moment, Huan Wen, a young boy who still loved to play, was filled with turbulent emotions. His expression became even more complicated. Was this kid going to follow in his father's footsteps?
Wait, no, he didn't rebel. At most, he was a rebel. Compared to Su Jun's rebellion, he didn't cause any serious consequences!
The young man sighed helplessly at this thought. It was a pity that his wife was nowhere to be found, and he had to worry about his son!

"We can put the story of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to rest for now, but we still need to talk about a familiar topic first."
The people of Wanchao: ? Could it be an elixir of immortality?!
During the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought, but in reality, he was searching through his memories, thinking that they hadn't been as obsessed with immortality as Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han!
The Cold Food Powder of our Jin Dynasty is far superior to the worthless elixirs of all previous dynasties!
It is effective; all the nobles and aristocrats who have used it have said it is bad. They feel as light as immortals, and their whole body feels incredibly comfortable! This makes them even more able to seek the mysteries of the world!
"We have already discussed the adverse effects of taking elixirs many times before. However, the Wei and Jin Dynasties were different from other dynasties. Apart from the emperor himself, the aristocratic families and nobles also engaged in activities such as taking elixirs, engaging in philosophical discussions, drinking excessively, and running naked."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng almost doubted his ears; these events shattered his worldview!
This is outrageous! Not only did they do drugs, but they also had to run around naked. Are those nobles out of their minds?
Otherwise, I really can't imagine what it's like to embarrass yourself in public.
Meanwhile, in the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han (Liu Che) couldn't hold back any longer. If he remembered correctly, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was already embroiled in internal strife and faced with external enemies; how could they possibly have the time or inclination to engage in this?!
Does this mean that if we become so engrossed in it, the country will be reduced to nothing?
……
"Essence of immortality and other such things, even with the experience of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, there were even those who went further and made their own elixirs and consumed them themselves. I cannot condone the ingredients they contained!"
First Emperor & Liu Zhuzhu: ...Besides the two of us, is there anyone else famous on this track?!
"As for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they were obsessed with Five-Stone Powder, also known as Cold Food Powder. It was first recorded in Zhang Zhongjing's 'Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber' in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was said to be used for treatment."
"The formula is said to be made from cinnabar, realgar, alum, azurite, and magnetite. However, the formula is recorded differently in various dynasties, but the medicinal properties should be similar, causing people to feel hot and excited, and also having hallucinogenic effects, etc."
"Simply put, it originated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. At that time, it was popular among the gentry and nobles. With the support of social celebrities, everyone was willing to do it, and the trend quietly took shape!"
Zhang Zhongjing: !!!
"For example, famous figures of the Wei and Jin dynasties such as Wang Xizhi, Ji Kang, and He Yan all have such records."
"Among them, it was He Yan who promoted the Five-Stone Powder to the public and publicized it extensively."
"His background is quite impressive. His grandfather was He Jin, his adoptive father was Cao Cao, and he married Cao Cao's daughter. It is said that he was very handsome with delicate and fair skin."
"Emperor Ming of Wei thought he was wearing white powder, so he once deliberately gave him hot soup. As a result, even when he was sweating profusely, the powder did not come off, and only then did he realize that he was truly white!"
Zhao Kuangyin, with his dark skin: What kind of man would have fair skin!
"His advocacy of Wushi Powder was also related to his own health. Because he indulged in wine and women, his body became weak over time. In this light, his fair complexion may not be just due to naturally fair skin!"
Cao Pi: (?w?)hiahiahia…
