Chapter 140 143.Do you even care about brushing your teeth today? The marshal's festival is conditional

Hearing this, the misery in the heart of the fake Bian Ye-Zhenbu Riguli turned into a double share, if he couldn't pass this level, then he would be dead.

Thinking about it, the tears in the corners of those eyes burned out and fell down.

The younger man looked unbearable, and said softly: "Don't cry, although the injury on your body is serious, the doctor sent by Xuanyilu is very good, and it is not difficult to survive." โ€

Bian Yebuzhiguli made a gurgling sound in his throat, vaguely unclear, and unconsciously, saliva was left at the corner of his mouth, and the crystal clear silk floated down.

The young one walked behind, looking strange, and hurriedly said to the other: "Brother, I see what's wrong, this Bian Ye, saliva is flowing from the corner of his mouth, isn't it stupid?" โ€

The old man said: "You melon baby, there was such a big movement yesterday, didn't you see the stump and broken arm that fell outside the Chinese army?" I'm afraid I'll be scooped."

[Note: ๆ“, polyphonic word, the pronunciation here is "shรกo", the meaning of the word is slightly the same as "spoon", and it also has the meaning of being pulled apart by a spoon, percussion, etc.] Dipping on means to be affected by something or a force. ใ€‘

The young man said, "Yes, yesterday was the notice to evacuate, the time was too tight, but how did I hear that all of them were withdrawn at that time?" โ€

The older ones said, "The light is dark, but if there is a slight mistake and a few people are left behind, it is not a problem." That's just right. If this Bian is not seen by the soldiers, where can you be sure that he is our person? โ€

[Note: ็ฌƒๅฎš, pronounced [dว”dรฌng], ็ฌƒๅฎš, derived from the Wu language, extremely sure, calm and unhurried. ใ€‘

The younger said, "Didn't you see his clothes first?" โ€

The older one said, "Little Red Guy, what do I say, do you have to be fierce?" If it's that fine work, the first thing is to change your clothes. The only thing that is our badge is not easy to fake, and there are Arabic numerals left on it, which are the things used in the Heavenly Realm of the Venerable Master. โ€

[Note: ็ŠŸ, pronounced jiร ng, mostly refers to stubbornness, toughness and unyielding, tenacious will, strength, stubborn and stubborn appearance. Here it is the meaning of raising the bar and strife. ใ€‘

The young one smiled and said, "Brother, you know a lot." โ€

The older one said: "You kid, learn more, let's fight now, it's easy to stand up for war achievements, and now you are a person who cherishes human life, do it well, as long as you don't die, after fighting the Tartars, how can you earn a few military merits, and your wife and children will be wiped out in the future." Burning incense to the ancestors is a head taller than others. โ€

It didn't take long for Bian Yebuzhiguli to run out of energy and fall into a deep sleep again.

ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

Tu Xicai woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes suddenly, turned over and got out of bed, put on his boots, lifted the curtain, and walked out of the tent. โ€

When the guard saw Tu Xicai coming out, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Marshal Tu, it's not that the ministry doesn't call you, but in the early hours of this morning, I ordered that before the six cloud burst bombs are filled, if there is no major event, don't wake you up." Not only you, but also the lieutenant general and the army members on duty, the others were ordered by the Venerable Master to rest. โ€

When Tu Xicai heard this, his nervousness eased, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you know how it is today?" โ€

Another guard said, "I have also commanded that if anyone is awake, let him go to the account and speak." โ€

Tu Xicai asked again: "What time is it?" โ€

The guard said, "The hour has passed, and noon has not yet arrived." โ€

Tu Xicai said: "It's not too early, come here, fetch me water, and brush your teeth." โ€

One of the guards said, "Marshal, today I have someone bring a new toothbrush and toothpaste powder, and let the staff wait for the adults to brush their teeth." โ€

Tu Xicai was a little stunned: "You can't even brush your teeth today?" โ€

The guard said: "Well, after I operated on Commander Mi Sanmei, I was very heartbroken, and I was afraid that Commander Mi would leave, so I improved my brushing skills." Today, I said that if my teeth are not well maintained, I can bring the toxins in the food into my heart, liver, lungs, and lungs, which is very fatal, so I sent me to wait for the church to the leaders of the various departments today. โ€

The toothbrush is the toothbrush of the Song Dynasty, and during the Song Dynasty, brushing teeth was already very popular, or in other words, the habit of brushing teeth in the Song Dynasty has been promoted to the habit of brushing teeth, and has been handed down.

In fact, human ancestors also had the habit of gargling and brushing their teeth, and in 3000 BC, the earliest tool used to clean the mouth was found in the tomb of the king of the Sumer city-state of your, the tooth stick.

In ancient Greece and Rome, people used animal ashes to make tooth powder to clean the mouth, and now there are some primitive tribes using charcoal, salt water, fine sand, and branches to clean their teeth.

Arabs also now take branches from a tree called Arak, mash one end and make a brush, which is used to clean between teeth and brush teeth, called Miswak, a natural toothbrush, according to scientists, this branch contains fluoride and saponin, which can prevent tooth decay and has a pain-relieving effect.

Chinese have understood the importance of protecting their teeth more than 2,000 years ago.

In the "Historical Records: The Biography of Canggong", it is approved that the cause of tooth decay is "eating without gargling", that is, after eating, do not rinse the mouth, this gargle is through the mouth with water, vigorously agitated, so that the food residue in the gap between the teeth flows out with the water.

In fact, until now, brushing your teeth is still used as a mouthwash in many places.

Even if you rinse your mouth vigorously, you may not be able to export all the food residues in your mouth, so rinsing your mouth with salt water or tea comes into being.

In the "Book of Rites": "The first crowing of the chicken, the salty cough" shows that people have the habit of gargling.

The ancients cleaned the mouth and teeth with fingers and willow branches. In the Dunhuang mural "Lao Du Fork Head Holy Picture", a monk is depicted squatting on the ground, holding a mouthwash bottle in his left hand and rubbing his front teeth with the middle finger of his right hand.

In the Tang Dynasty, people used willow branches to make brushes and dipped them in potion to rub their teeth.

In the Song Dynasty, some people even advocated rubbing their teeth twice a day in the morning and evening, and the Yuan Dynasty officially had the word "toothbrush", Guo Yu's poem Zhongyun: "Nanzhou toothbrush sends the first day, and the dirt cleanses the annoyance of a gold value." "The upper class of society in the Yuan Dynasty used toothbrushes, and the average people still used willow branches, and Chinese herbal medicine developed into tooth powder to brush their teeth, according to archaeological discoveries, more than 1,000 years ago in China, the ancient tomb of the Liao Dynasty unearthed two bone toothbrush handles. It can be seen that China has a toothbrush similar to modern times more than 600 years earlier than Europe.

In Europe, the toothbrush was first invented in London in 1780 by the English leatherman Eddis. Before that, Europeans used cloth to scrub their teeth, Eddis thought that wiping teeth with a cloth was too inefficient and could not be cleaned, he tied his mane to the bone, and the brushing effect was very good, and since then the brushing tools of Europeans have been improved, and the company founded by Eddis still produces toothbrushes today.

In the section of "Miscellaneous Goods" in Wu Zimu's "Menglianglu" of the Southern Song Dynasty, there is an item of "brushing teeth" in the small commodity list after "picking up and selling ......", and the merchants in Lin'an City sell daily groceries along the street, and toothbrushes are one of the frequent supplies on their loads.

It can be seen that in Hangzhou, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, the citizen class generally has the habit of brushing their teeth, so it is necessary for the merchants to send toothbrushes to thousands of households. The "Shop Mat" section of "Menglianglu" lists the famous shops in Lin'an, including "Lingjia Toothbrush Shop" and "Fu Guanren Toothbrush Shop" - at that time, there were already special shops that produced and operated toothbrushes.

The text also explained, "Gaihang City is a place where all directions converge, that is, it is different from other counties, so the merchants come and go, and there is no day in the afternoon." As for the old feathers, there are shops to send customers, and other shops can be known", Hangzhou as the largest commodity trading center at that time, the shops in the city were mainly engaged in wholesale business for all places, and "Lingjia toothbrushing shop" and "Fu Guanren brushing tooth shop" were obviously no exception. It is not difficult to understand that at that time, not only the people of the capital loved to brush their teeth, but other places also practiced this civilized measure to a greater or lesser extent, so there were brand-name stores that wholesale toothbrushes.

Written during the reign of Zhenghe of the Northern Song Dynasty (1111-1117 AD), the official medical book "Shengji Zonglu" has a special section of "Teeth Rubbing" (Volume 121) in the "Mouth and Teeth" column, and states:

Rinse and rinse, percussion and guidance, make sure that the liquid is prosperous, cleanse the rotten gas, make the teeth firm, the grooves are solid, and all diseases do not arise.

Cleaning and rinsing the mouth and keeping the mouth clean not only protects the teeth, but also benefits health, such a hygienic concept was firmly established in China at the beginning of the twelfth century.

What's more, there are as many as 27 prescriptions listed in the section "Tooth Rubbing", and the ingredients are often very different from each side - although there are many brands of toothpaste today, there is probably no such rich variation in specific content.

Correspondingly, different prescriptions of tooth rubbing medicine have different health care functions, however, each recipe emphasizes "rubbing teeth every morning and evening" and "rubbing teeth as usual every day", which shows that in the Northern Song Dynasty, it has become common knowledge to clean teeth every day and twice in the morning and evening.

To this day, the proportion of people who brush their teeth twice in the morning and evening is still not very high.

In fact, before the introduction of Western toothpaste, green salt mixed with various Chinese medicines has always been the most commonly used tooth rubbing medicine for ancient Chinese, such as the twenty-first chapter of "Dream of the Red Mansion" wrote, Baoyu "hurriedly wiped his teeth with green salt, rinsed his mouth, and finished".

However, in terms of specific methods of tooth cleaning, there is no introduction to the method of "tooth brushing" in the official and private medical books of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the method of "tooth brushing" is still recommended. The so-called "tooth rubbing", the Northern Song Dynasty Wang Gon issued the "tooth rubbing method" in the "Boji Fang", which is described in detail:

If you want to make medicine (referring to the medicine made by the "black mustache and sideburns tooth rubbing method" listed above), use a piece of ginger as big as an almond and chew it. After a while, he vomited and rubbed three or five times with his left finger. Wet the end of the medicine, and rub it more than a dozen times......

You have to chew a small piece of ginger with your teeth and then swallow it for a while before spitting it out.

Next, use the fingers of your left hand to scratch your teeth one by one, repeating three or five times.

Then use the fingers that are wet with saliva to stick the end of the tooth rubbing medicine, and scrub it repeatedly on the teeth, rubbing back and forth more than ten times. Obviously, this is done with your fingers to act like a toothbrush.

The hygienic habit of rubbing his teeth with his fingers has his unique advantages.

First of all, when the child's teeth, or the gums or dental plates, this method can only be used, but now some parents are not happy to do this, so the child's tooth development and caries are more numerous.

Adult teeth are used more, but less time to take care of, at least more than 20 years in China, horizontal toothbrushing, is the way to poke the toothbrush stick back and forth, is the mainstream, which causes a lot of wedge-shaped defects, that is, the teeth are brushed out of the transverse groove, causing enamel damage, and then forming more defects of teeth.

Therefore, more than ten years ago, the dental defense organization promoted and encouraged the upward and downward brushing method, which was to basically brush the teeth in the direction of the upper and lower gaps of the teeth.

However, this situation is of course stronger than horizontal brushing, but brushing teeth is a meticulous job, especially in the morning, when time is pressing, it is difficult for people to have the time and energy to brush their teeth calmly, which often causes brushing teeth in a hurry and not carefully, and the water is wet over the ground.

However, wrapping the cloth with the fingers and slowly exploring and rubbing on the surface of the teeth makes a difference, the feeling is not sincere, and the gums are also easy to be cared for and itchy, and many people will naturally touch the tongue coating and palate when they use their fingers to open their teeth, and even tug the tongue and the tip of the tongue.

Although we can't completely replace brushing with finger rubbing in isolation, the benefits and effects of finger rubbing should also be taken seriously.

In the early Tang Dynasty and even earlier, for example, Sun Simiao's "Preparation for Emergencies" section of "Dental Disease" mentions:

Every day with a twist of salt in the mouth, with warm water, rub the teeth and knock the teeth a hundred times, for the endless, but five days, the mouth is tight.

It is to the effect that every morning when the sun comes out, it is best to use a little edible salt, put it in the mouth, that is, put it in the mouth, contain it with warm water, close the mouth, do not let the salt water come out, and do not swallow it, and then put your fingers into the mouth, rub the teeth, and then pull the teeth up and down, hundreds of times, every day, no more than five days, and the teeth will be firm and tight.

Loose teeth are usually periodontal swelling caused by periodontitis and gingivitis, and if the teeth are firm and tight, gingivitis or periodontitis should disappear.

According to family tradition, my personal practical experience is that using more salt, letting concentrated salt water in the mouth, and repeatedly percussion of the teeth, is conducive to eliminating swelling.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there was no special tooth rubbing medicine, and salt and warm water were used to clean the mouth with fingers.

However, in the medical classic "Secrets of Waitai", which was written in the eleventh year of Tianbao (752), there is already a list of "Cimicifuga Tooth Rubbing Prescription":

Cimicifuga (half a tael), Angelica dahurica, Root, Agarwood, Agarwood (three points each), Hanshui Stone (six points, grinding). The right six flavors are pounded, and the sieve is scattered. Every dynasty, the willow branch bites the head softly, points to take medicine, rubs the teeth, fragrant and clean. One side of the cloud with plaster, shell teeth each three points, musk one point, especially wonderful.

This formula reveals two important information: first, by the time of the Tang Dynasty at the latest, the concept and specific formula of "tooth rubbing medicine" have been formed, and there is a spice "agarwood" in this recipe, so the cleaned teeth are not only smooth, but also slightly dyed with aroma, which means that the finished product of the formula also has the function of "fragrant mouth".

Second, the method of tooth rubbing introduced here does not use the fingers dipped in medicine, but uses willow branches. Every morning, take a willow branch, bite one end with your teeth, and then dip the soft head wet with saliva to dip it in the tooth rubbing medicine, and wipe it on the tooth wall as a toothbrush in later generations.

According to research, rubbing teeth with branches and thin sticks of wood was originally a sanitary method in ancient India, and it was introduced along with Buddhism. Written by the eminent monk Yijing before the second year of Wu Zhou Tianzhu (691), there is a special section on "Chewing Tooth Wood in the Morning", which details the advanced style of Indian monks and laymen in maintaining oral hygiene. The text says:

Five days of law and customs, chewing teeth and wood are constant, three-year-old boys, salty that is, teach. The holy religion and the secular stream are all interested.

One of the Five Hundred Arhats (now in the collection of Daitokuji Temple) by Lin Tingqi of the Southern Song Dynasty depicts the scene of monks washing, and the Arhat in the deepest part of the picture is cleaning his teeth with a "tooth wood".

Chewing is a very common practice in India, and children are taught good hygiene from an early age, so that everyone, regardless of status, understands the multiple benefits of this practice for physical and mental health. In fact, in the section of "Eat and Remove Filth", it is also mentioned that Indians have to chew the tooth wood after every meal, and then pick their teeth and scrape their tongues to "make sure that they are clean", so "toothache is very rare in the West", and almost no one suffers from dental disease.

Judging from the literature, when Indians chew tooth wood, they directly select branches that naturally contain ingredients such as tooth strengthening, sterilization, and refreshment, and chew them, without the need for a separate tooth rubbing medicine to assist. "The Secret of Outer Taiwan" shows that in the Tang Dynasty, the custom of chewing tooth wood from India was combined with tooth rubbing, and once the soft willow branch was dipped in medicinal powder, the effect was very close to that of the toothbrush of later generations.

In the clothing account of the 15th year of Xiantong (874) unearthed from the underground palace of Famen Temple in the Tang Dynasty, it is clear that there are "100 pieces of tooth cloth" offered by the royal family, which shows that in the ninth century, there was a period when people, at least the upper class, replaced their fingers and branches with "tooth cloth". It is speculated that the specific method of use should be to wipe the teeth with a soft towel dipped in a special medicinal powder, which is undoubtedly a great step forward in the way of teeth cleaning.

In this way, people have used finger rubbing for a long time in history, and this habit has been developed at the same time as the health care function of tooth rubbing medicine. Along with Buddhism, the practice of chewing branches and cleaning teeth and brushing teeth with soft branches was also introduced in the Jin and Tang dynasties, and coexisted with the method of tooth rubbing.

In China, this foreign method is combined with the use of tooth rubbing, which can be regarded as a sign of toothbrushes.

In the middle and late Tang dynasties, there was also a special "tooth rubbing cloth", which can be said to be more elegant, more convenient, and even more hygienic than tree branches and fingers.

By the Southern Song Dynasty, the records of "brushing teeth" and "toothbrushes" clearly appeared in the literature, and brushing teeth, an important health care habit, has since entered the lives of Chinese. Judging from the records, the atmosphere is everywhere in the north and south, and the Jin people are no strangers to it. For example, in the book "Confucian Affairs" written by Zhang Congzheng, the golden man completely replaced "tooth rubbing" with "brushing teeth", and there was an expression of "brushing teeth in the morning and evening, and rinsing them with warm water". It should be noted that the "Xianren San" side of the book bets on "brushing teeth", but it is written in the middle of the book as "wiping teeth while lying down".

In other words, brushing your teeth before going to bed at night has also been taken seriously.

Brushing your teeth in the morning is not the same as brushing your teeth before going to bed, brushing your teeth before going to bed is more aware of the importance of brushing your teeth to your dental health, after all, brushing costs money, toothbrushes, willow branches, medicinal powder or rubbing cloths cost money, and if you have spices, it is more expensive.

Waking up early to brush your teeth, it's mostly based on socializing.

Therefore, the contribution or impact of dental cleaning to human health and social interaction is huge, so that the Buddhist scripture "Huayan Sutra" even summarizes the ten major benefits of chewing poplar branches: 1. Eliminate food and lodging, 2. Remove phlegm and diseases, 3. Detoxify, 4. Remove tartar, 5. Taste incense, 6. Be able to name, 7. Moisten the throat, 8. No wrinkles in the lips, 9. Increase sound and qi, 10. Taste is not refreshing.

Jin Li Dongyuan's medical work "The Secret Collection of the Orchid Room" not only mentions "brushing teeth", but also specifically prescribes the formula of "brushing medicine", and as for the specific application of the finished product, it is "rubbed as before". These clues prove that brushing your teeth is also known as "rubbing your teeth."

Yuanren Guo Jue's poem "Guo Henghui's toothbrush gets snow words": "Nanzhou toothbrush sent to the day, to get tired and clean up a gold straight." The short hairpin is cut into a tortoiseshell light, and the ice silk is embellished with silver and dense. The description shows that the ancient toothbrush had the same shape as today's toothbrush, presenting a hairpin-like shank, with a silk thread on the shank and a short mane densely tied with a ponytail - in fact, people gradually found that the horsetail mane was too hard and would hurt the tooth glaze with long-term use, so they changed to other materials.

Bad teeth can affect the digestive system and nerves and even the central nervous system, which has a great impact on the lifespan of the human body.

The teeth are very hard, and there must be gaps in the places that come into contact with the gums, so the toxins produced by the bacterial reproduction and corruption in the gaps of the teeth can directly enter the blood.

Therefore, if you cherish your heart, you should cherish your teeth, and you should cherish your teeth, starting with brushing your teeth.

At this time, Zhen Niang also came over with five or six palace maids, and blessed Tu Xicai: "Marshal Tu, the slave family has served the will of the Venerable Master and brought new warm jackets to the leaders of the various departments, saying that it is very inconvenient for everyone, and now we can't wait until the victory to do it, now change a little is a little bit." โ€

Zhen Niang ordered someone to bring the jacket over, and Tu Xi hurriedly bowed:

"Don't dare to serve Zhenniang, Yuan Yuan'an, you come to serve me in a new jacket."

The pro-soldier Yuan An hurriedly took the new jacket and accompanied Tu Xi into the tent.

Tu Xi entered the tent, and Yuan Yuan opened the cloth bag, only to find that there was more than one jacket, but it was very different from the clothes he usually saw.

It turns out that inside this military uniform bag, there are:

Underwear - two cotton flat-toe shorts, two cotton long-sleeved shirts, two cotton underwear (autumn pants), and a wool linen and silk blended wool vest on the upper body;

The jacket includes a pair of breeches made of wool and linen and silk;

Then the jacket of the jacket is a large lapel, a double-breasted fine linen cotton long suit (basically the style of a military cotton coat), a black shirt, brass buttons, and two diagonal pockets, but there is no place to hang the jade pendant.

A large-brimmed hat with a red ribbon wrapped around it, and a five-pointed Venus star in the center of the large-brimmed hat surrounds the Venus, faintly embroidered with gold, silver and green silk threads.

Then there is a two-inch wide belt, this belt is also an uncommon style, there are iron buckles and iron pins, directly pull the belt tight, the iron needle can pass through the buttonhole on the belt, easily buckle on the iron buckle.

There's also a pair of leggings, but I don't know how to use this.

Then there was a pair of short cowhide boots.

Tu Xicai and Yuan An pondered for a while, only to find out how to wear this new set of clothes and jackets, when he finally tied up the belt with the help of Yuan Yuan'an, the wide belt immediately brought a kind of uprightness and confidence.

Tu Xicai looked at the big-brimmed hat, and then put it on his head, the big brim was wrapped around his head, Tu Xicai straightened up, and said to Yuan'an: "Yuan'an, what do you think?" โ€

Yuan An took a step back, couldn't help but give a deep student salute, and then half-knelt down and said: "Back to the marshal, if you said that the marshal is as rich as jade, at this moment, only the momentum is like a rainbow can be spoken. Congratulations to the students for respecting the teacher! โ€

Tu Xicai nodded, stepped forward, Qian Yuanan hurriedly lifted the curtain, when Tu Xicai walked out of the tent, everyone's eyes looked at him, for a while, everyone was in a trance, and there were several breaths.

Tu Xicai was indignant in his heart, coughed lightly, and everyone came back to their senses, and Yuan Yuan took the lead in saying: "Today, I will give Marshal Tu a new military uniform, and the marshal will be handsome, work hard to serve the country, follow the Venerable, and open up the foundation of the world." The marshal is mighty! โ€

[Note: ๆˆŽ้ฉฌๅ€ฅๅฌ, pronounced rรณngmวŽkว’ngzว’ng, interpretation: ๆˆŽ้ฉฌ: This refers to war horses, borrowed to refer to the military; Busy: Busy. Describe the busy military affairs. ใ€‘

Only then did everyone understand, and they shouted together, "The marshal is mighty~~~~"

Zhen Niang was also stunned for a while, and then she reacted, only to hear a voice say: "Marshal Tu, I have also given something today, but there is a request." โ€

Tu Xicai saw that Hui Niang and Minister Yang also came, Minister Yang wore a slim military dress that was more delicate and handsome than the marshal, and was well-cut, but this collar was a collar with lotus flowers stacked with a large pile of lake silk, and the hat on the head was shaped like an upside-down boat, and there was also a gold star in the middle, but it was smaller, and there was a brocade flower with red leaves on a yellow background at the stern of the boat, called the flower blossom rich red peony, which was extremely enchanting, Tu Xi took a look, and his heart stopped beating twice, and then churned violently.

Tu Xicai hurriedly stabilized his mind: "Minister Yang, but I don't know what else is given today?" โ€

Minister Yang opened a wooden box from Hui Niang's hand: "Today, I said that the battle of Yashan is facing the final blow, and I hope that the marshal will take the majestic and proud shore of the Xuanyi Army to receive Yashan, so as not to lose the face of holy China, so there is also the marshal's festival battle here, but only the marshal with short hair can hold this festival." โ€

[Note: Marshal Tu here is a festival war, not a Western traditional scepter, the meaning of the two is different, although the meaning of the scepter also has the meaning of having authorization, but it is more focused on power, and the festival means that this thing represents trust and authorization, which involves different cultures and values in China and the West. ใ€‘
