When there was a famine in ancient times, why did the victims rather starve and eat tree bark than c

Because according to historical records, the areas most prone to famine in ancient times were often in the north, where the water system was not developed, and the frequency of famine in the north was much higher than in the south. In addition to the scarcity of water and the underdevelopment of the fishing industry, the eating habits of the northerners make them less aware of fishing. And most of the famines in ancient times were caused by drought, and there was no water, ** and fish.

Because they didn't know how to fish, fishing gear was not very developed at that time, so they preferred to eat tree bark.

Because most of the fish in ancient times were meant to be eaten by dignitaries and nobles, and the ancients believed that there were a lot of parasites in fish.

Because the fish are not easy to catch. Fish are only available near the river, and not everywhere is close to the river, and the fish are not easy to catch.

Because you're talking nonsense! So full!

Fishing is illegal... You also fish.

This was not possible at the time, and there were no rivers in many parts of the north.

<> first of all, it is concluded that in the case of famine, it is impossible for the victims to escape the famine by hunting and fishing.

There are many kinds of famines, but in our farming country, the most important and influential famines are drought and flood. Droughts and floods can have a direct impact on agricultural harvests, leading to significant reductions in grain production or even non-harvesting, in which case there is only one result: famine.

We are an agrarian country, and in addition to this, there are nomadic peoples, hunters, fishermen and hunters. However, the results of history tell us that only the peoples who rely on agriculture and nomadism have the ability to develop and grow, while the hunting and fishing peoples cannot develop into a larger civilization. There is only one fundamental reason, whether it can feed so many people.

Hunting and fishing and hunting are the survival methods that existed during the period of small-scale tribal civilization, although there are still groups that rely on fishing and hunting to live, but it should be noted that they only rely on fishing and hunting to make a living, and cannot completely solve the problem of food, clothing, shelter and transportation by fishing and hunting. Even if they are able to be self-sufficient, they are unable to expand and develop because of the instability of food. Once the population reaches a certain number, they will not be able to feed themselves because of the restrictions on the number of animals and aquatic products in the wild.

Nomads are more motivated, and in order to feed more people, they can raise more livestock. However, the results of history have proved that nomads are still unable to compete with agrarian peoples, and only agrarian culture can feed more people and support the development of civilization.

Historically, when famine broke out in our country, the number of people affected by the disaster was beyond imagination.

In 1877 and 1878, more than 10 million people starved to death in Shanxi, Zhili, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other provinces of the Qing Dynasty, and more than 20 million people fled to various places.

Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Shanxi at that time, once said:

There are more than 1,000 miles of red land, and the hungry people reach five or six million people, and the great 祲 (jìn) is a strange disaster, which has never been seen in ancient times.

Millions of people have been affected by the disaster, and entire or even several provinces have been affected, and everything that can be eaten has already been eaten, not to mention the fish that can be caught in the rivers and the wild beasts that can be found in the mountains. In the end, he could only barely satisfy his hunger by eating soil and gnawing on tree bark.

Most of the famines are caused by water shortages, and many rivers are out of water, so there must be no fish.

When a famine broke out, everything that could be eaten was exhausted, and there were no fish to catch.

It's not that people don't want to hunt, it's that there's nothing to hunt, disasters dry up rivers, and plagues kill prey, so people have no prey to hunt at all.

Because the fish that can be caught in the event of a famine have long been exhausted, there is no way to find any food to eat at this time, of course they think of this, but there is no way without them.

Because hunting is run by the state, ordinary people are generally not allowed to hunt, and ordinary people have no tools and no rights, so they have no way to hunt.

Because the ancients did not have advanced hunting**, if they went hunting, the danger factor was very high, so they would rather starve than risk their lives to fill their stomachs.

There is no technology. Without hunting skills, no amount of effort can be used to hunt those prey.

Because the tools of fishing and hunting are backward, the cost of fishing and hunting is too great, so people can only flee the famine.

In ancient times, when there was a famine, the victims did not fish and hunt, but fled the famine, because most of the famines in ancient times were natural disasters, and many animals had no food, and hunting was very dangerous and required great skills.

Because there was no technology, the ancient people did not have the technology to catch fish, even if there were fish in the water, they could not catch them.

In ancient times, when there was a famine, the victims did not choose to fish and hunt but fled the famine, because fishing, hunting also requires tools, and their skills are not skilled, and often these areas are very dangerous, it is very likely that they will not catch the prey, they will be injured and lose their lives.

Because the ancient victims did not have that condition, nor did they have the tools, nor did they have the hunting skills, so when there was a famine, the ancient victims did not fish and hunt, but fled the famine.

When the ancient victims were in a famine, the reason why they didn't fish and hunt was because there was a famine, and the fish died without eating, and they probably didn't have that skill at that time and didn't have that skill in the coastal area, so the only thing they could do was to flee the famine.

Because in ancient times, people generally did not know how to swim, and if they rashly went down to the river to fish, there was a certain risk factor for their lives, and there were no professional fishing and hunting tools. So they chose to flee the famine.

Because fishing and hunting are not so easy to achieve. Not every place has rivers and mountains, and even if there is, if you don't have the ability, you can't fill your stomach.

Because both fish and prey are difficult to catch or because of the effects of war. I hope that I can escape to another place and continue my life without the suffering of war.

In ancient times, the victims chose to flee the famine because there was no fish to catch after the famine, so they found the real thing, and at the same time wanted to avoid the place and then look everywhere for food.

Because the victims did not have fish for them to catch during the famine, they had to flee the place in search of food.

Because there was no prey at that time, when people were in a famine, they ate everything they could eat, and they had to flee the famine.
