The story that makes people's backs cold in history is to eat by changing seeds. Speaking of the word "changing seeds to eat", it is only a four-word idiom in many people's concept, but it is true in history. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a vassal state called Song State, which was besieged by the army of Chu State for half a year because it killed its transit envoy. When the powerful State of Chu besieged the State of Song, there was no food in the city.

In order to survive, people focus on young children and can't bear to eat their own children under their own inner conscience, so they can only choose to exchange children and eat. "Zuo Zhuan Gong Xuan Fifteen Years": The widowed gentleman told Yuan that he was ill and said, "My city is easy to eat, and my bones are analyzed." Although, at the gates of the alliance, there is a country to kill, and you can't follow it. "The Biography of Ram Gong Xuan Fifteen Years": Easy to eat, analyze the skeleton and cook. Although there are only dozens of words, it can make us feel the tragic scene at that time. Now that resources are abundant, such appalling things will not happen.

When people face the challenge of survival, the goodness in their hearts will disappear. Later, Food for Food only described the extremely miserable life of the victims. There are many stories in history that people in ancient times had low productivity, not only suffered from war, but also withstood the test of heaven. In the face of natural and man-made disasters, the ancients basically had no food.

At first, people chose to chew bark and eat grass roots to maintain their survival. When bark and grass roots are eaten clean by hungry people, there is nothing to do if they are eaten. In addition to the Song Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, there are also three scenes of eating upside down. Han, Wei and Zhao surrounded Jin Aigong for more than a year and poured water on Jinyang. In order to survive, the city people finally exchanged their children for food.

After the Changping Rebellion, the phenomenon of exchanging grain for children appeared in many periods, such as the Zhao Dynasty, the Jingkang Rebellion and the famine in Henan. Tiger poison does not eat seeds and is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Why do people eat melon seeds instead of melon seeds? Although it is only possible in times of war and famine, people will not choose to eat seeds from the beginning. At first, when people encountered natural and man-made disasters, they still kept their conscience and chose to eat bark and grassroots. With the aggravation of disasters and the escalation of hunger, some people will slowly starve to death.

At this time, people will choose to bury the dead in the grave, but with more and more people starving to death, people's bottom line will gradually be broken. At first, the people affected by the disaster flooded the hungry people during the day, and cannibalism broke out at night. When cannibalism happened several times, cannibalism at night became the next day.

We should be glad that we live in an era of peace, prosperity and abundant food. Now we still remember an ancient poem we learned when we were young, that is, weeding at noon, sweat dripping down the soil. Who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard?
