Unexplained yellow liquid was unearthed from the ancient tomb and put into bronze ware. Why is it the ancient "fairy water"?
The emperor has power, so from ancient times to the present, Taoist priests have always been valued for their ability to make an alchemy. However, the ancient Dan medicine contains heavy metals, which will lead to poisoning and death, and countless emperors have died because of this, but many emperors in later generations still have inexplicable persistence in immortality.
Now speaking of "fairy water", everyone will definitely think of a brand of skin care products. Many people think it works well, so it is called fairy water, but the same price is quite expensive. In fact, the name fairy water is not modern. There is also a kind of "fairy water" in ancient times, which is the real fairy water.
In addition to Dan medicine, there is also a kind of water called "fairy water", which is said to be immortal after drinking. I don't know if it worked, but people at that time believed in this kind of thing. Of course, that was something that only aristocratic families could enjoy at that time.
A tomb of the Western Han Dynasty was found in Luoyang City. According to expert research, many precious cultural relics have been unearthed, which proves that the owner of the tomb has a good identity.
In this tomb, a yellow liquid weighing about seven kilograms was unearthed. These liquids are packed in a copper pot, about half a meter high, like a big gourd. This liquid has no special smell. At first, people thought it might be ancient wine.
Netizens have also speculated what water it is, and some people think it is groundwater. Later, after expert research and consulting some historical books, it was found that this kind of water can ascend to immortality after drinking, and it was invented by ancient people after the elixir.
According to the 36th Water Law of the Western Han Dynasty, this kind of water is made of saltpeter and alunite. In ancient times, this method was also considered as an alchemy method, called the water method. In fact, this kind of water doesn't make any sense, but drinking too much is easy to cause harm to the human body.
Later emperors also drank this kind of water, but mostly took elixir medicine. Some elixirs have also been unearthed from some emperors' tombs. In fact, so many people have never succeeded. These people bring elixir water to the cemetery, which can only prove their attitude of wanting to live forever.
Modern people are also pursuing longevity, so medical scientists have also invented cryonics technology. Of course, longevity is too contrary to the laws of nature to be achieved now.
