The time-travel drama Joy of Life, which was popular some time ago, is an endless topic.

If, like a time travel drama, you had the opportunity to go back to the ancient times when technology was developed enough to really invent the time machine, which dynasty would you choose to adapt to life there the fastest and have the highest happiness index?

The answer is Song Dynasty!

Will some friends say that the Tang Dynasty is not good? The culture of the Tang Dynasty was tolerant and generous, the costumes were elegant, the poets were brilliant, and all countries came to the DPRK. Life must be nourishing! Why the Song Dynasty?

Statistically speaking, you have a high probability of crossing into an ordinary family. Whether a country or a nation is prosperous depends on how the people at the bottom live. Because the top dignitaries, princes and princes are very happy in any dynasty and are ordinary people.

Therefore, from the perspective of ordinary people, the Song Dynasty was the happiest time. A historian once said that China's civilization reached its peak in the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

You may not agree with this, but I will make a detailed analysis for you based on the historical knowledge learned from the book Daily Life of the ancients, and compare the Song Dynasty with the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

We will not consider the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms before Sui and Tang Dynasties. After all, in the era of war, it is likely that some rebels or bandits killed the enemy by mistake as soon as they landed.

First, in the Song Dynasty, you were not afraid of no nightlife.

The Northern Song Dynasty was a rare mercantilist dynasty in ancient China. Zhao's royal family is very human and vows not to kill scholars (you see, knowledge is not only strength, but also a gold medal to avoid death).

Moreover, in order to enrich the daily life of ordinary people, the curfew policy of the previous dynasty was completely abolished, and Kaifeng City became a veritable city that never sleeps.

In the evening, all kinds of entertainment places will open their doors to welcome guests. At that time, they were brightly lit, noisy and busy, with singers, storytellers, interesting memories, paper-cutting and even cheap snacks ... The scene was very lively and people were happy to soak in this beautiful land.

I guess, except that you can't scan the code at that time, it is really comparable to our nightlife today. When you travel back to ancient times, you won't be bored because you can't "eat chicken" tonight.

But before the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the law formulated a strict curfew system, and it was illegal to go out for a stroll at night. In those days, Cao Cao killed the eunuch Jian Shuo's uncle because he went out for a walk at night. Now it seems to be a really good cause of death!

In the Yuan Dynasty, a strict curfew system was implemented, which lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Dull and silent nights accompanied ordinary people for hundreds of years. I can't afford candles. As soon as it gets dark, my wife and children can only heat the kang every night.

Second, in the Song Dynasty, people were not afraid to brush their teeth without a toothbrush.

You may think that the most unbearable thing about traveling back to ancient times is that you can't brush your teeth without a toothbrush. I have seen costume dramas. Only the royal nobles in the palace have the habit of gargling, and I have never seen anyone brush their teeth. It's really hard not to brush your teeth!

But in fact, as long as you travel to the Song Dynasty, this trouble will no longer exist, because there are not only toothbrushes but also toothpaste in the Song Dynasty!

The ancients fixed the hair of ponytail on the horn and could use it. Except that the softness is not as good as ours now, it is already an out-and-out toothbrush! There were even shops selling toothbrushes in the Southern Song Dynasty. I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients!

Let's talk about another knowledge point that can increase national pride: China is also the birthplace of toothbrushes! Later, this invention spread to Europe and gradually benefited all mankind.

Moreover, the toothpaste used by the ancients is a real herbal natural plant. They use Chinese herbal medicines such as Gleditsia sinensis, ginger, Cimicifuga rhizome and Rehmannia glutinosa, and add some salt, which can play a role in sterilization, anti-inflammatory and whitening!

In short, when you travel back to the Song Dynasty, you can go into battle lightly, and you don't have to worry about periodontitis that may be caused by not brushing your teeth.

But if you accidentally cross the wrong dynasty, brushing your teeth may become a big deal.

If you come to the Tang Dynasty by time machine, you can only brush your teeth with branches pitifully. This method has a professional name-Yang Liuzhi tooth brushing method, which is to chew Yang Liuzhi branches soft and take a little powder to brush your teeth.

The source of this method also makes people laugh and cry. According to legend, when Sakyamuni gave a lecture under the bodhi tree, his disciples sat around him. As a result, Sakyamuni was almost fainted by his disciple's bad breath. I had to teach my disciples to clean their teeth with Yang Liuzhi.

This method is not brushing teeth, so it is called brushing teeth, which is estimated to have little effect. Therefore, compared with rough branches, of course, it is wiser to choose Song Dynasty with toothbrush!

Third, in the Song Dynasty, you were not afraid of eating irregularly.

Before the Tang Dynasty, people ate two meals a day, one at 7-9 am and one at 3-5 pm. Although in the Tang Dynasty, people would add some snacks to fill their stomachs at noon, they still followed the habit of eating two meals a day. If you want to lose weight, you can choose the Tang Dynasty, and I won't stop you ~

In the Song Dynasty, three meals a day were basically popularized. Due to the unprecedented prosperity of social activities, people will naturally be hungry if they spend more.

If you have the habit of eating supper, Song Dynasty is your best choice. It is also common to buy a delicious snack at a stall in the night market, so it is ok to eat four meals a day in the Song Dynasty.

You see, when crossing, you should do your homework, just like doing a full raiders before going out to play. If you just cross at will, you may die in another country because you violated the law and could not adapt to the living habits at that time.
