Han Yu was "too weak to walk" in his later years. What did he go through?

I don't know if you've heard of something called. Soft foot disease? At that time, Han Yu suffered from this disease in his later years. In his later years, Han Yu was weak and weak. Soft foot disease, as its name implies, is a disease characterized by weakness of feet. After getting soft foot disease in his later years, Han Yu often went out and had to take the bus. Then you knew that it was inconvenient to take the bus and didn't want to eat. Because he ate too much, the person who carried the sedan chair couldn't afford it, so he said that he ate very little and eventually died.

Foot weakness seems to be caused by foot problems, but it is not. Foot weakness is the main manifestation of this disease, which was actually famous in ancient times? Tragic? One kind, people who suffer from this disease die in a few months.

According to historical records, Han Yu's nephew Han Laochen and Han Yu's good friend Liu Zongyuan both left this person because of Ruozu's illness. This is really too bad. There was this disease in ancient times, and the children were not well. Moreover, according to the relevant records of Han Yu's death, it was also this disease that took away Han Yu's life. Because sulfur was mostly used to treat colds and foot diseases at that time, stalactite grinding was supplemented by drugs such as aconite, Tianxiong and Dendrobium. Therefore, in history, Han Yu took sulfur, probably because he took this kind of sulfur medicine, not really because of the gender of women.

So how did Han Yu get this disease? The reason is that in Yuanhe 14, that is, in 8 19, Han Yu refused to meet Tang Xianzong with Fogu. Tang Xianzong was furious and demoted Han Yu to the secretariat of Chaozhou Prefecture. Chaozhou in the Tang Dynasty, probably the Chaozhou area in Shantou today, was a hot and humid place. Arrive in Chaozhou in the cold month and leave at the end of April, about 65438+February, which is the peak of flatulence. Therefore, Han Yu should be acclimatized at this stage and contracted soft foot disease. ?
