How bad were the living conditions in ancient times?

Recently, some time-traveling dramas have been very popular, and the protagonists in the dramas have traveled to ancient times, relying on their own abilities, step by step to the top, and finally live a happy life with their other half. But was life in ancient times really as good as it was in the TV series? Actually, no, today we will take a look at the real living conditions in ancient times.

The living conditions are food, clothing, housing and transportation, the powerful and rich businessmen are fine, they can wear silk and satin, they can eat big fish and meat, they can live in a large mansion, and they can go out with cars and horses. But in fact, there were only a very small number of high-ranking officials and nobles in ancient times, and most of them were just ordinary people and poor people.

In terms of food alone, the Han Dynasty did not have steamed buns, and the common people ate wheat cakes, which were made of wheat, which was a very hard cake, which was rough and difficult to swallow, and could only be full but difficult to digest.

In the Tang Dynasty, the common people ate a kind of "corn rice", according to the record of the "Entering the Tang Dynasty to Seek the Law and Traveling Rites", this kind of "corn rice" is not only bitter to eat, but also makes people feel chest pain, which shows how bad this kind of rice is.

In the Song Dynasty, the diet of the common people was richer, but the average family could only eat some pickled cabbage, and fresh vegetables such as cucumbers and leeks were very expensive, not to mention meat.

The most important thing is that salt in ancient times was scarce and expensive, and if you are reluctant to put salt in your meal, you can really "fade out".

In addition, edible oil is also very expensive, and people can only afford vegetable oil and soybean oil. Poor families who can't even afford oil can only stir-fry vegetables with rice soup in a rice pot, which is called "rice oil", which is soup instead of oil.

In addition to food, in terms of clothing, ordinary people only have burlap clothes, and they are patches and patches, and even poorer people can't even afford to wear clothes. In terms of living, there is no need to think about high-rise buildings, most of them are low and dilapidated houses, and some will leak rain and wind. Of course, there will be no car to travel, you can only rely on 11 roads, and you can't just go to travel, you also need road guidance, and the government will issue identity certificates.

There is no decent furniture, earthen stoves burn sheep dung, cow dung, donkey dung. Walk by legs, and transport goods by back. Living conditions are difficult, and having a full stomach is the first priority.

The living conditions in ancient times were very poor, and many people did not even have enough to eat, let alone meat, and some people only ate meat once a year.

Of course, it is very poor, there is no electricity, there are no entertainment facilities, industry and agriculture are very backward, there is not enough food, and there is no warm clothing.

The living environment of the ancient people was very good, the nobles lived in tall courtyards, and ordinary people also had thatched huts to live in, and they worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.

The environment in which ancient people lived was very harsh, they were not like the current water, electricity was very convenient, they had to rest once it was dark, because there was no light, and they usually did not often take a bath and wash clothes.

It is very environmentally friendly, there is no pollution, the ancient means of travel are horse-drawn carriages, sedan chairs, etc., and many of the ancient ecological environments are primitive.

Personally, I think that rich people are too rich, they don't have to do any housework, and those who don't have money will trade their children and wives for food and so on.

Very bitter. Because wars were very frequent in ancient times, and after wars, many buildings and crops would be destroyed, and it was the common people who suffered, so the living conditions of the ancients were very bitter.

In the era of perennial war, the lives of ordinary people in ancient society were very cheap, and they were very lucky to be able to eat a mouthful of food every day.

In ancient times, when there were many years of war, the living conditions of the ancients were very difficult. Most people can't get enough of even the most basic things.

Haha, the life of the ancients is also very rich.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as horseback riding and archery, and playing games.

The landlord can take a look at the history and culture books.

Let me talk a little about the cultural, sports and entertainment activities of the Tang Dynasty.

Drama: There are big and, plucking the head, stepping on the ballad girl, popular repertoire: Lanling King, Shen Baima, Feng Guiyun, Su Mosha, etc. Other types of dramas include military dramas, puppet shows (puppet shows), etc.

Acrobatics: Ball games: Punching, Keju, Stepping on the ball. Hitting the ball is the most popular, also known as batting, playing ball, is a kind of physical activity of riding on a horse and holding a battle to hit the ball. It was originally introduced by Tibet.

Chess activities: Go, chess, chess.

There are also tug-of-war, horn fighting, swinging, archery, rowing, etc.

Take a bath once a month, and wipe the with bamboo chips, light candles at night, and the entertainment is reading books and fishing.

We can speculate through the unearthed cultural relics and books, and it would be nice if we could invent a time machine, and it would be better to meet than to be famous.

People can't live without clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, but because of the extremely low productivity, they don't have much ability to change their current situation, and can only rely on their existing ability to support a family, do a small business, and earn some money to make a living, it's not easy! In the early years, the war made it impossible for the people to make a living, so we must govern the country and secure the people, and only when the people are strong can the country be strong, look at how many honors our Olympic athletes have won for our motherland! Hats off to them!

It's not the same yet

Eat, drink, pull, sleep.

It's just that life isn't as exciting as it is now.
