What are the three oldest occupations?

The three oldest occupations:

90% of you may not have heard of the first job, that is "knife on credit"! What is a knife borrower? Credit "credit" is said to be a very old business, and its ancestors are guiguzi. According to the data that can be verified, this business first appeared in the Song Dynasty, when it was selling divination. Wandering around, everywhere I go, I leave a rather fantastic prophecy, with good quality kitchen knives, scissors, or pots and pans and other daily necessities. "Take this knife first, and I will collect money when the house rises to 5000 square meters!" Something like this ... if you are willing to gamble, he will give you a knife on credit and ask you for money when the prediction comes true. If the prophecy fails, this knife will be given to you for nothing. Of course ... their prediction will never fail ... It is said that people who buy knives on credit will only appear in simple places. They sometimes buy knives on credit for as long as 10 years. Because the folk customs are simple, people are more trustworthy, so I don't worry that people will run.

The second occupation, as we all know, is only seen in film and television works. Not now, because this profession is one of the oldest and most mysterious occupations in ancient times-the "executioner" who executes the death penalty in the execution ground. It is one of the five punishments from Sui Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, so this industry has a long history. You may think that being an executioner is very simple, that is, a big knife is cut on the prisoner's neck and it is over with a click. But in real history, it is definitely quite difficult technical work. Because the ancients believed in the superstitious views of ghosts and gods, few people dared to do so. It is said that most of the executioners in ancient times were ugly and scary, otherwise they could not suppress their grievances. Because of the special occupation, in ancient times, to be an executioner, you had to learn from your teacher and go through strict and systematic special training before you could start your career. To what extent should I practice my skills before I can get started? When you cut, you can measure the depth of the cut with your own hands. This profession can be said to be very cruel, so in ancient times, the work of executioners was considered to be immoral. Therefore, before the school starts, the master will tell you: after 99 heads, you must change careers, or you will be punished. Almost every line has its own granddaddy. The executioner is no exception. The ancestor of the executioner is believed to be unimaginable to many people, and it is said to be composed of Fan Kuai, Zhang Fei and Wei Zhi.

The third profession is "autopsy". It's the ancient official who examined the bodies of murder cases. Because it was always bad for the ancients to deal with the dead, and the feudal ideology in ancient times was serious, in ancient times, it was usually Dalits or slaves who examined the bodies and then reported the situation to officials, which was equivalent to modern forensic doctors. It was not until the Song Dynasty that this profession, similar to modern forensic medicine, was officially named "coroner" and changed to "procurator" in the late Qing Dynasty. There were many criminal cases in ancient times, so it is necessary to conduct a detailed investigation with the deceased to infer the cause of death, the time of death and the fatal part. These are also of great significance to the government's judgment and analysis of the case, which often directly affects the outcome of the case. So the role of mourning is also very important. But the biggest difference from the current forensic doctors is that they can't dissect corpses, and their status is very underground, and they are all controlled by untouchables. Therefore, the son of Zuo Zuo could not take the imperial examination in ancient times. Because it is full of mystery, there is a myth that the eye of mourning can see many things that many people can't see, so the mourners are handed down from family, and every two or three generations, a so-called family of Yin and Yang eyes is specially chosen to do this.
