Some people can really eat. Sima Qian vividly recorded the story of this person eating pig legs in Historical Records. The story is the hongmen banquet we are familiar with. The person who ate the pork leg was Fan Kuai, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty.
The banquet at Hongmen was full of stars, but Fan Kuai turned this cross-strait summit into a stage for his own performance.
(seat map of hongmen banquet)
Originally at the instigation of Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu was going to clean up Liu Bang, but Xiang Bo's betrayal made Liu Bang know that his situation was very dangerous, so the next morning, Liu Bang took Sean and others to make amends to Xiang Yu, with a gesture as low as 12. What he wants to express is also very clear: you are the boss and I am the younger brother. What do you arrange and what do I do? I'm 200% loyal to you, that's all. Xiang Yu, who was still furious, was very satisfied to see Liu Bang mainly. The Jiangdong man in Loyalty and Honesty also said to himself: Alas, it's all you Sa Dao and Cao who slander our feelings, otherwise we wouldn't be in this situation.
(This Fan Zeng was anxious to get angry and motioned for Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu didn't have summer-planting. )
Well, it was resold and sold to Cao! It is estimated that Fan Zengqi's eyeball will explode. Now that the two sides have resolved the misunderstanding and Liu Bangyuan is a guest, Xiang Yu gave a banquet to entertain Liu Bang, but he couldn't kill Fan Zeng on the spot. Of course, he was unwilling, but at the banquet, Xiang Yu just didn't respond, whether he winked or gestured, and this buddy was taken in. Since Pei Gong has no second thoughts, why should I be a villain?
(In desperation, Fan Zeng had to find Xiang Zhuang and let him perform sword dance while waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Liu Bang. )
Ji Yan, Fan Zeng, don't come to me, I'm going to find Shan, so he went out to tell Xiang Zhuang, the general of Xiang Yu, to come forward to dance the sword and find a chance to be Liu Bang. Just as Xiang Zhuang secretly poked at the killer, Xiang Bo got off the horse with his elbow turned outwards. Is this guy really hard? Xiang Bo also drew his sword and danced. He often covers himself with his wings, but Zhuang is not allowed to fight. ? Who's Xiang Bo? A veteran of the princes or Xiang Yu's uncle, which one can he afford for a sideline? Xiang Zhuang nature also timid, assassination will go away.
Although under the protection of Xiang Bo, Liu Bang's situation is safe for the time being, but who knows if Fan Zeng will come up with other tricks, so Sean got up and went to move reinforcements. Who are you looking for? Fan Kuai.
Fan Kuai is also a tiger. On Xiang Yu's turf, this guy rushed in without applying for notification, and the guards on both sides stopped him from entering. As a result, Fan Kuai directly forced the guards to beat Meng, and he broke in as soon as he opened the curtain. Fan Kuai's performance at this time? ? Put on the curtain and stand to the west, looking at Xiang Wang, with his hair up and his eyes chapped. ? I was in high spirits when I watched the sword dance. Suddenly, a burly black man rushed in and stared at you with bloodshot eyes. How do you feel?
(If Fan Kuai plays it now, he is also an expert at blowing bottles, and he has dried three bottles of wine in one breath. )
Anyway, Xiang Yu got a fright and immediately leaned forward, holding the hilt in his hand. As long as your boy has any bad intentions, Lao tze will draw out a sword to help! Then came in Sean hurried forward to explain; Misunderstanding, this is Pei Gong's participation in Fan Kuai! Looking at the commanding Fan Kuai, Xiang Yu, who was born in a military man, loves talent and repeatedly calls Fan Kuai? A strong man? Then we carried forward the fine tradition of China people at the dinner table: Have a drink? Give it a drink? So Fan Kuai was given a barrel of wine, which was about 2000ml in Qin and Han Dynasties, which was more than three bottles when converted into beer. Fan Kuai raised his neck and blew! Xiang Yu can drink well when he sees his eldest brother! So he ordered around:? Give it a shoulder! ?
No, Fan Kuai in history would never eat pig's feet with such a silly expression. This isn't Fan Kuai, it's a fool. )
Next, Tai Shigong's record is: Then carry the burden with your life. I don't know if I deliberately embarrassed Fan Kuai and gave him a pig thigh. As a result, Fan Kuai was tough. Put his shield on the ground, put his shoulder on it, and pull out his sword to cut it. ? A pig's leg, he cut it and ate it. It's finished! When I first read this story, I felt incredible. After all, such a big elbow feels tired when cooked, not to mention the undercooked thigh with pig hair and bloodshot blood. Is this chewy? Can I eat? Nobody can do it at all!
(Liang Yu Suo seems to have some doubts about pig legs, so he interprets this as a new word added by later generations. )
Don't think I'm bored and have a problem with a pig's leg. Actually, I'm not the only one who was surprised. The ancients didn't seem to understand. In Qing Dynasty, Liang Yu Suo especially questioned the pig leg in Historical Records. In his opinion, the source of this pig leg is very unreasonable. After all, they are not in the kitchen. Where did you get the pork leg for Fan Kuai? It was already ready, and he didn't know Fan Kuai was coming, so Liang Yu thought it was? Healthy? This word was added by later generations. In fact, the pork leg made by Xiang Yu for Fan Kuai was eaten by Fan Kuai. Xiang Yu says you are really awesome.
Moreover, many modern scholars seem to disapprove of Fan Kuai's eating pork legs. What about this? Healthy? The teachers made a lot of explanations.
There is also a saying that because bamboo slips are written vertically, future generations will? All of them? Do you see it? A lifetime? )
Some teachers think so? Healthy? It should be? All of them? Words, because bamboo slips are written vertically, did the ancients copy them? All of them? Have you seen it? A lifetime? That is why we have set such a big goal. Actually, Xiang Yu gave Fan Kuai a cooked whole leg of pork, which echoes the full text, indicating that Fan Kuai can not only drink, but also eat. After all, he just blew more than three bottles of beer in one breath, and then wiped out a whole leg of pork without changing color, which made Xiang Yu even sigh with emotion: brave! And because it is a whole pig thigh, Fan Kuai will put it on a shield and cut it with a sword. If the elbow we usually eat is chewed on our hands, why are we still putting it on the shield?
(It is also said that the pig's leg actually refers to the pig's leg. It is cooked but seasoned, and it is actually edible. )
The last sentence? Healthy? In fact, this word refers to cooked but unprocessed meat, because in the Qin and Han dynasties, people also took similar meals? Buffet? Like the dining system, if you want to eat meat in the military camp, you just need to set up a big pot outside the tent, cook the big piece of meat in the pot, then cut it into small pieces and dip it in the sauce next to it, which can also explain why you can provide Fan Kuai with one? Pig leg? Xiang Yu was watching Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Liang dance swords while eating meat. Fan Kuai rushed in, so Xiang Yu conveniently gave Fan Kuai a cooked thigh, and Fan Kuai was welcome. He picked up the leg of the pig and chewed it without dipping it in the sauce, as if to explain.
So is this really the case? Fan Kuai ate this leg of pork, which made us misunderstand for thousands of years. Is it really because of the mistakes in copying words or the differences in the background of the times?
(check all kinds of literature, the records of pig legs are all? Healthy? Yes, it can be seen that Liang Yu's rope argument is untenable)
I'm afraid not. Later generations' explanations are based on today's customs, which are quite far-fetched. First of all, this is about Liang Yu's rope. Copy and add words? There is no evidence or existing literature to prove that there are missing words or adding words in this historical record. Since Tai Shigong's Historical Records came out, there have been many printed versions. We can find that the earliest edition was the Collection of Historical Records written by Pei Jian, an official of Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and most of them were included in the revision of Sikuquanshu in the Qing Dynasty. We inquired about several websites that can be viewed online, and Fan Kuai ate them all. Shoulder? If you want to say that the online version is unreliable. The paper documents I have at hand are Historical Records published by Zhonghua Book Company and Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. Its authority is self-evident, but the record of this pig leg is also? Healthy? Visible, before take out conclusive evidence, the possibility of adding words to Liang Yu rope is not great.
(after all, there are many doubts when you are wrong? All of them? The seal script of the word is written like this)
Second,? All of them? The handwriting is wrong? A lifetime? This view is not very reliable. Friends who hold this view may have suffered from poor handwriting and typos. However, after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, official script was the seal script (the popularity and development of official script was in the Eastern Han Dynasty), and all the historical records of Taishigong had to use seal script. All of them? How is the word written?
How short-sighted and hasty is this? All of them? The word as A lifetime? ? )
One? Where are the words? ? All of them? Who is bent on the top of the word? How dizzy is this guy? All of them? As? A lifetime? ? This statement may be reasonable in logic or personal habits, but it ignores the background of Taishigong's times and is untenable.
(Is it correct in Kangxi's dictionary? Healthy? It is also explained that it is not cooked, and there is no saying that it is cooked without seasoning)
As for it? Healthy? It is even more nonsense to say that it is cooked without seasoning. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty. Healthy? Is this word always immature or alive, and? Cooked meat without seasoning? It has nothing to do with this. For example, it is recorded in Hanshu? Cure raw meat and dry meat. ? The Analects of Confucius? If you give food, you must taste it first; If you give it to me, you will be familiar with it and will recommend it; If you are born, you must raise it. ? Kangxi Dictionary has a lot of notes on new words, but when it comes to eating, what does it mean? I don't know him very well. ? Moreover, Kangxi dictionary also uses the banquet of the Hongmen as evidence, so friends who hold this view don't need to emphasize any eating habits and cooking history. As far as the literature is concerned, there is no doubt that this pig leg has just been slaughtered and has not been cooked in any way.
And give Fan Kuai a pig leg, in order to better show the ferocity of this man. Because Fan Kuai just blew the bottle, if he was given a well-done or half-done pork leg, he could pick it up and chew it, but the pork leg could not be directly torn with his mouth, so Fan Kuai put it on the shield and cut it down with his sword. Besides, this man is single, and he eats pork legs whether they are cooked or dipped in sauce, not to mention how dumbfounded Wang Xiang is. Fan Kuai ate a pig's leg in a fit of pique, which was so domineering:
Before the Western Han Dynasty, many delicacies on the table of nobles were raw meat.
Secondly, is it strange for Fan Kuai to eat raw meat? Strange, strange, strange is the way Fan Kuai eats meat. Not surprisingly, before the Qin and Han Dynasties, raw meat itself was the daily food of nobles. Everyone must know this idiom: Popular? Eating refers to cooked meat and roasting refers to raw meat. It can be seen that ancient people thought that food at that time included both raw food and cooked food. Of course, unlike Fan Kuai, the ancients took a bloody leg of ox or lamb and chewed it with their mouth open. Confucius has a saying? Never tired of eating, never tired of eating? The muscle fiber of raw meat must be tough and chewy, so Confucius said that it must be carefully cut, and the minced meat is delicious. And when nobles eat raw meat, they should not only cut it well, but also dip it in sauce, onion and autumn mustard? Is Confucius there? Eight don't eat? The restaurant also specifically pointed out that if there is no sauce when eating raw meat, why not eat it? Can't its sauce be eaten? . In the Zhou dynasty, raw meat was not only eaten directly, but also played with flowers by the ancients, such as? Hey? Is this sauce made of raw meat? Anyone who makes a pot must dry its meat first, then lick it, mix it with Liang Qu and salt, dip it in wine and put it in the pot for a hundred days. ? First air-dry the raw meat, then chop it up, add millet and salt, and then pour the wine on it. After 100 days of sealed fermentation, this sauce was made. It is both meat and wine, but I don't know how it tastes.
(sashimi)
But with the gradual enrichment of cooking methods, people ate less raw meat after the Han Dynasty. After all, it is more difficult to preserve than cooked meat, but fish is always preserved. Zhou Tianzi wants to eat sashimi with mustard sauce. It is estimated that future generations didn't pay so much attention to it, so they just cut it and ate it. During the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, was a sashimi madman. This man ate for more than ten years and was infected with parasites, although he was treated by Hua Tuo, an imperial doctor.
Therefore, it is not surprising that there was raw meat in the military camp at the end of Qin dynasty and the beginning of Han dynasty, and it is even less surprising to eat raw meat. It's just that Comrade Fan Kuai is tough, unfamiliar and not finely cut, so he ate a pig leg and killed everyone directly. Then he made a declamatory statement, emphasizing Liu Bang's contribution to conquering Guanzhong, leaving Xiang Yu speechless. The whole scene came naturally and smoothly.
It can be seen that if you want to be a hero, you must not only have superhuman strength and wisdom, but also have a good mouth and a strong stomach at the critical moment!
