1570 Plans for the next step
As early as the Wei and Jin dynasties, drug abuse became a fashion.
So, what was it like to take drugs during the Wei and Jin dynasties?
Today, Brother Zhonghe will come to talk to you.

First of all, what kind of medicine did people take during the Wei and Jin dynasties?
The name of this medicine is Wushisan. Wushisan is composed of five minerals: purple quartz, white quartz, red stone lipid, stalactite and sulfur.
Originally, it was a prescription developed by Mr. Zhang Zhongjing to treat typhoid fever, but due to some additional effects, the celebrities of the Wei and Jin dynasties flocked to Wushisan.
This medicine was available in the Han Dynasty, but it became popular in the Wei and Jin dynasties, what is the reason?
This is going to talk about the spokesperson of Wushisan, He Yan.

He Yan is a well-known beauty blogger in modern times.
He has a face so white that even men are jealous, and he is still a complete narcissist. To what extent is narcissism?
According to the "Wei Luo":
The meaning of this passage is that He Yan is very narcissistic, and he has to wear his foundation and handkerchief whenever and wherever he wants. Walking on the road, I have to appreciate my shadow at every turn, and by the way, I sighed in my heart: I look so beautiful, even the shadow is so beautiful~
Everyone has a love for beauty. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, men were allowed to stink and be beautiful. After all, it was an era of face-seeking.
Because He Yan's skin was too fair, even the emperor Cao Rui at that time couldn't stand it. One day, Cao Rui summoned He Yan into the palace and gave him a bowl of hot soup cakes. It was the height of summer, and He Yan was sweating while eating, so he picked up his sleeves and wiped them.
Cao Rui was happy this time, because he thought that He Yan used some high-end cosmetics, and he deliberately let He Yan "remove makeup" in front of everyone.
As a result, Cao Rui came back to his senses and looked at it, which frightened him. It turned out that when He Yan picked up his sleeves and wiped his face, not only did he not play the expected role of "removing makeup", but the more he wiped it, the more he revealed He Yan's original fair skin.
This incident caused a big stir in the beauty industry at the time. Those who have good deeds began to study what skin care products He Yan used. As a result, He Yan himself gave the answer: Wushi San.
It is said that Goshisan has the effect of conditioning the inside and improving the skin texture. People who have taken Wushisan will have their skin white and red, which can be broken by blowing. So even if He Yan doesn't use cosmetics, his face is fair and shiny.
According to the "Cold Food Essay", it is recorded:
Hanshisan is another name for Wushisan. Originally, this prescription existed in the Han Dynasty, but due to the endorsement of beauty blogger He Yan, taking Wushisan has become a trend of the times. People all over the world are looking for this miraculous prescription, hoping to improve their skin texture and have skin that can be broken like He Yan.
In fact, this also explains why the aesthetic atmosphere of the Wei and Jin dynasties liked soft-looking "little white faces" like He Yan and Wei Jue. Although people in the Wei and Jin dynasties also liked masculine beauties like Ji Kang and Xiahou Xuan, He Yan still led the trend of aesthetic fashion in the Wei and Jin dynasties.
Of course, the "miraculous effect" of He Yan taking Wushisan is certainly not limited to whitening the skin and improving the appearance. The second function of Wushisan is to make people have a kind of illusion of fluttering immortals. And this effect was also discovered by He Yan.
Why does He Yan need this effect?
This is going to talk about He Yan's other identity - the founder of the Wei and Jin Metaphysics Forum.

He Yan pioneered Wei and Jin metaphysics, and his influence at that time was no less than that of today's well-known forums.
Wei and Jin metaphysics is an academic school developed based on Lao Zhuang Taoism, which was called New Taoism by later generations.
The main purpose of metaphysics is to discuss some abstract and far-reaching things, so as to escape the danger of officialdom and the filth of worldly affairs.
The gathering between metaphysicians to discuss the Tao is called the Puritankai. The famous Rantei rally is a representative of the Qing Talks.
A low-level talk is almost equivalent to a blind talk and a mouthful of artillery, while a high-level talk is a high-end philosophical forum.
He Yan, as the ancestor of Qing Tan, of course, still has a certain realm.
However, it is not so easy to enter this kind of subtle and far-reaching realm.
Although He Yan is a good hand in the Qing Talk field, there are always times when inspiration runs out.
This feeling of "Jiang Lang's talents" is naturally painful.
At this time, the effectiveness of Wushisan is revealed. Wushisan can make people flutter like immortals, and it can also make people transcend and enter a state of selflessness.
When He Yan's inspiration dried up, as long as he took Wushi San, he instantly felt that inspiration was gushing to his face, allowing him to complete his spiritual transcendence again and again.
This was undoubtedly the greatest consolation for He Yan in the tense political environment at that time.
So He Yan posted a post on his metaphysical forum:
This is nothing more than saying: taking a dose of Wushisan can not only cure diseases. And I can turn the sky high!
"If you want to get high, just eat Wushisan!"
This was the consensus of the people in the celebrity circle at that time.
Forget the filth of the world and enter the realm of selflessness with the detachment of form and spirit, which is what people in the Wei and Jin dynasties dreamed of.
After some hype by He Yan, Wushisan became a popular model for home travel, beauty and beauty at that time, and talking about mysteries.
After taking Wushi San, people will feel hot and dry, and their skin will become very sensitive. At this time, it is necessary to go out and exercise to dissipate the heat of the five stones. This led to the fact that people in the Wei and Jin dynasties liked to wear wide robes and large sleeves. Coupled with the illusion of fluttering immortals after taking Wushi San, it really looks like a fairy from a distance.
Some people don't even wear clothes, and go out naked shirtless.
In short, the behavior of going out to radiate heat after serving Wushi San is collectively called "Xingsan", and this has become a trend at that time, and later generations call their behavior the Wei and Jin Romance.
By the way, "Xingsan" is the origin of today's "walk".
He Yan definitely didn't expect that Wushisan would lead the trend of the times, and he himself would become the ancestor of taking medicine and talking.

So, in addition to beauty and refreshment, does Wushisan have any other miraculous effects?
To tell you the truth, there really is. It's just this effect, He Yan doesn't want to say it, and he's embarrassed to say it.
In fact, Wushisan is also an aphrodisiac, and the ability to pop can be instantly improved after eating.
Don't believe me? Here's the evidence:
This passage means that He Yan is very lustful and a middle-aged greasy man. Originally, he had a problem in that regard, but after eating Wushi San, he instantly radiated, and his ability to pop instantly improved, and the problems that had plagued him for many years disappeared at once.
After the people in Chaoyang heard about it, word of mouth spread and rushed to buy it, and the effect was remarkable. Wushisan was naturally also speculated to a sky-high price.
Therefore, Wushisan can be popular in the world, not only because it can beautify and nourish the skin, but also because it can indeed increase physical strength. In this way, it is not surprising that Wushisan can be popular all over the country and become one of the synonyms of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
In the end, I just want to say that Wei Jin celebrities really know how to play. Even taking drugs can also make the Wei and Jin dynasties romantic, how can it be comparable to today's drug addicts?
