285.5 Medieval Europeans Don't Bathe (Discussion)
The Middle Ages: Nearly a millennium,
Europe: An area of millions of square kilometers, with at least five parts of Europe.
Central.
Viking Nordic (plus our Ansar barbarians),
Mediterranean Southern Europe,
Slavic Eastern Europe,
The Peninsula of Two Teeth and Western Europe of the Franks.
This is the same as a foreigner who watched a drama about the empress of the Tang Dynasty and came to the conclusion that a woman in "ancient China" can be an emperor.
If you want to say that he is not wrong, but these four characters contain thousands of years, and the scope is too wide, except for the Tang Dynasty, there has never been an empress.
If someone says that, you can tell them with certainty that it's not right, unless you narrow it down.
Give the precise location and time.
Indeed, after time,
Let's move on to the concept of water.
In Christianity, water is an important symbol and is often used to express the meaning of God's grace, cleansing, and regeneration.
Cleansing from sin and rebirth: In the New Testament, baptism is an important ritual that is used to symbolize the cleansing of sin and the rebirth of believers.
John 3:5 says, "Unless a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." The water here refers to the symbolism of baptism.
Life and nourishment of water: In the Bible, water is also described as a source of life and nourishment.
Jeremiah 17:8 says, "He will be like a tree planted by the waters, rooted by the river, and will not be afraid when the heat comes, but its leaves will be verdant, and there will be no fear of the years of famine." "The water here symbolizes God's provision and nourishment.
Power to cleanse from sin: In the Bible, water is used to describe God's grace and power to cleanse people from sin.
Isaiah 1:18 says, "Come, let us argue among ourselves, saith the Lord." Though your sins be as red, they will be as white as snow; Though they be red as scarlet, they shall be as white as wool. "The snow white and wool here refer to the cleansing power of water.
These verses and descriptions express the importance and praise of water in Christianity, which is seen as a symbol of God's grace and redemption, cleansing and nourishing the human heart.
A large number of baths in Roman times, a large number of abbey illustrations that have been handed down, and a large number of frescoes are all recorded and corroborated by bathing.
Then someone will propose that such and such a celebrity does not take a bath, swears asceticism, and swears to wash three times in his life.
If everyone doesn't wash, why do you have to make a special one?
This can be reversed, but most people love to take a bath.
The "History of Bathing Culture in Europe" says that some dervishes never bathed and took pride in it, because they wanted to show that they didn't need to take a bath to regain their spirits.
(This is a book published in 2001 and verified by a German author)
St. Simon Dillette allowed maggots to arch over his inflamed and festering wounds, never to be cleaned (ruthless)
The hermit St. Abraham did not bathe or wash his feet for 50 years (ruthless)
A holy virgin in Sylvia was over 60 years old and suffering from a slump that "would not wash any part of her body except to wash her fingers" (ruthless)
Saint-Aman had never seen what his nakedness looked like (I don't believe it)
St. Euphrasia said that he had visited a convent of more than 130 nuns, who never washed their feet and who were disgusted at the first sight of the word "bathing."
(Is it possible that in your time, the word bath was pronounced very close to some dirty names)
(For example, Beach and Bitch, you heard it wrong, so you want to vomit.) )
Quoted from "An Alternative History of Western Civilization"
(Registered for the author to complain)
.
Then someone will quote these names with you, even if you read them many times and look up their allusions, I still can't remember the names of these people.
But these people are monks, and if you look at what they say, they don't wash any insects when they are inflamed, and they want to vomit when they hear about bathing, do you believe it?
There are a few exceptions.
It is equivalent to verifying the foreigner saying, I watched Chinese costume dramas, and women in ancient times could be emperors.
Charlemagne himself has records about his bathing and swimming.
There was also the so-called "mass baptism" in that era.
It's the time of this book.
Notes: The famous "Oranman" in the history of England was very fond of bathing.
.
The person who asked the next question pulled the time back, and what about Charlemagne
In the 12th-13th centuries, the protagonist of Tristan and Iseult says: "The blade of the sword has not drunk the blood of the enemy, what face does it bathe and cleanse the body?"
A little pretending, a little handsome, this line!
The story is about the tragedy of the illicit love between Tristan, the knight of Cornwall, and Isolt, the princess of Ireland.
It depicts Tristan's mission to escort Isolt from Ireland to marry his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall......
The author is unknown, and the influence on later generations of knightly love literature is very deep.
There are also many books written about bathing, and there are no churches that come out to say anything, and there are a few exceptions.
In France in the 13th century, there were many baths to die for. (Mixed bath)
At that time, the style of mixed bathing caused many epidemics of that kind of disease...... That's it.
After the 15th century, the Black Death and the disease spread, and public baths gradually declined.
But the so-called medieval time, almost up to this period,
The latter ones don't need to be explored.
.
There are also a lot of famous online lines
At that time, it was rumored that water would make people sick,
Lice are also regarded as "God-given pearls"!
Queen Isabella I of Spain
Bathed only twice at birth and before the wedding,
And others complained that her hands and nails were too dirty,
She also proudly replied:
"It's a pity you didn't see my feet!"
(Above, a beautiful girl with athlete's foot, right?,But the picture is pretty good)
.
King Louis XIV of France bathed only once a year,
I can be considered medieval with the former two, and the latter is the same......
.
Mixed bathing men and women make deals, do that kind of thing, break customs, spread diseases, and trigger multiple bans, which is there,
But the time span is not long, the scope is limited, and it is not effectively prohibited.
And after the Black Death, people did not take a bath, this has to analyze the medical concept of the people of the time, to make an answer, but in fact, in the area that has not been affected, or has passed, there are still historical materials: bathing is really happy......
Something like this.
.
There is also the invention of perfume because I don't take a bath to suppress body odor
But perfume has a very long history,
And many people take the example of the king of France, and the time point is not the so-called Middle Ages, which I find very strange
.
I also recently discovered that when I was looking up the agricultural seed harvest ratio, I was told that
The medieval harvest ratio was about 4 to 1,
I've seen this in other book chapters,
I thought, how did this sentence come about, how did it come about?
Until one day last month, when I was writing about Eagle Pound, I forgot what it was called on a domestic website about the economy, and I saw someone post a scholar's research, which mentioned a sentence,
According to the research, the local area of the manor, various comparisons and analyses, a certain period of time to ......, the harvest ratio is about 4 to 1, and then under the improvement of technology......
He meowed, I was stunned for a long time, could it be that the source of this sentence is here,
This is the result of the discussion of scholars, and it is certainly rigorous,
I'm just complaining, many people remove the head and tail, which uses this conclusion, saying that the medieval crop harvest ratio is 4 to 1, and then passed on......
What is it called, I forgot.
(The above books, I have bought them if they can be corrected, or I have read these books in the Middle Ages, some of them are organized on the Internet, if there are omissions, incomplete, mistakes, welcome to inform)
.
I've been nibbling on Viking poetry in Norse languages lately,
I suddenly had a new understanding of the Viking Age,
It used to be really: robbing money, food, and women,
I see that you are not happy with the zero-yuan purchase, and I hung you up,
There is only one ...... in Causeway Bay
Write a string of words for Hong Kong films, and start again.
We Viking cattle batch 666, probably like this,
After reading the book Danish Tales and some clan poems......
It's hard to describe, as if you suddenly feel a little bit at their core.
Feel the charm of their myths.
Also watched a movie about Icelandic Viking warriors.
He meowed, and for a moment I became a Viking fan,
As I typed, I thought of the ugly face of the protagonist.......
"Make England Great Again!"
I'm tui!
Although I use a translator or ask questions on the Internet, I still can't understand these poems, just like reading a book from heaven.
But if there is a new understanding, I will post it.
But after the Vikings, I think the protagonist is still very handsome.
Inherit the business of kings and open the foundation of eternity!
