Extracurricular Answer: How much salt was eaten in ancient times?

What, just in the code word, I suddenly saw a lot of book friends commenting that the ancients ate too much salt, and posted historical materials to correct the concepts of some book friends!

"Pipe - Aquaman Chapter"

Huan Gong said: "What is Zhengyance? ”

The pipe said: "Salt for ten people in a family of ten, salt for one hundred people in a family of hundred." At the end of the month, five liters of salt for men is less than half, three liters of salt for women is less than half, and two liters of salt for my son is less than half. ”

According to the actual measurement of unearthed cultural relics, one liter of Qi is about 205 milliliters today, less than half of the annotation is one-third, the bulk density of salt is divided into thick and fine, ancient is coarse salt, and the bulk density is 1.21 cubic centimeters.

One liter of salt is equal to about 248 grams today,

An adult strong man has a lunar eclipse of 5.3 liters, which is about 43 grams per day on average.

It is 27 grams for women and 16 grams for children, and the average daily weight for a family of five is 27 grams, which is about 4 kilograms for a family of five in a month.

Of course, this is the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Qi country is close to the sea, and then look at the two Han Dynasty periods.

Juyan Han Jian

Juyan is also known as one of the four major discoveries of modern ancient documents, with tens of thousands of bamboo slips unearthed, which record many things needed by the historiography.

Ju Yan: "There are eleven officials, three buckets and three liters of salt." ”

Juyan: [Salt in and out of the book: two stones, one bucket and three liters of salt, seventy-one food soldiers. 】

One liter of Han is equal to 200 milliliters, based on the heap cube of the above-mentioned coarse salt, three liters of salt is 726 grams, and the eclipse is 24.2 grams, and the answer given in the book is not standard, because there is no standard answer.

Here is an adult man's monthly eclipse of 726 grams, and the amount of salt for a family of five must be more than 3,000 grams.

There is a value written in the book, which can be regarded as a special point that the protagonist in it only vaguely remembers a number, because it is difficult to give a definitive conclusion in the history of this thing.

As for why you ate so much salt in ancient times, your personal profile can be pointed out if there is a mistake!

First, the ancient oil and flavoring agent were scarce,

Second, ancient coarse salt contains impurities,

Third, the labor force in ancient times was much greater than today, the sunrise and the day of income and rest, the summer grass knows that the grass clothes are all salt spots.

The salt in the body will be evaporated!

Therefore, the older generation is engaged in heavy labor, and the taste is heavier, because people have no salt and fatigue, and salt must be supplemented, and the best thing to do is to drink salt water, but there was no salt water in ancient times.

So, don't take today to set the ancients, now that life is good, they are all big fat boys, there are countless seasonings, and you can eat oil, meat, etc.

At that time, there was no oil, no meat, no seasonings, no stir-frying, all salt, it was different.

Now let you dig the ground with a spade and a spade, expose yourself to the grass in the summer, there is no so-called seasoning, no meat, no oil and water, and you are looking at how much salt you eat.

I reckon you can put salt straight into your mouth!

Of course, the main purpose of this book is to correct some common sense that readers are accustomed to, and I don't want to mislead you.

I just hope that you will give some support, encouragement, and mention anything that does not conform to historical facts at any time, after all, no one can be all-encompassing and everything is right.

Okay, no,

It's past four o'clock in the morning, hurry up and go to bed, I have to go to work tomorrow! Brothers who have monthly passes, recommendation tickets, and money can be cheered?

It's really not easy to be realistic, give some support,

Good night, old North Noses!
