The unsolved mystery about Tai Sui: Can you really live forever after eating it? Is there life?

Since ancient times, people have had illusions about immortality. Even if he was as clever as Qin Shihuang, he was superstitious about the alchemist's immortality in his later years, and sent Xu Fu to the South China Sea with a shipment of supplies and 3,000 boys and girls to find an elixir for himself.

Li Shimin, regarded as a model by later emperors, could not help falling into this stereotype in his later years. Of course, the final result is to let them down. But for thousands of years, there have been many legends about "Tai Sui" and other "gods" with the effect of immortality.

When it comes to "being in a tiger's den", everyone's first impression must be this sentence-keep your head on the ground. In recent years, there have been rumors and news reports, and various unknown "creatures" called "Tai Sui" have been dug up from the soil all over the country. So, what is the "Tai Sui" that CCTV has spent a lot of energy reporting?

First of all, let's explain the old saying-never touch the ground on your head. In ancient times, people called Jupiter the year-old star. It has been found that Jupiter takes about 12 years to orbit the sun, and people use the position of Jupiter to determine the year. This is the so-called "chronological method".

Later, it was found more accurately that the period of revolution of Jupiter was not 12 years, but 1 1.86 years. The error between one year and two years may be very small, but if we study it in a longer history, this error will be amplified, because every 85.7 years, Jupiter's actual operation will be one year longer than the chronology. What do we do? People give the concept of Tai Sui.

Tai sui is actually a fictional old star, used to replace the old star for strict chronology, from which people have a more rigorous "Tai sui chronology method."

This dating method was used until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was not replaced until people found that it still could not meet the needs of more accurate dating. However, Tai Sui has formed an important influence in ancient times, and it has played an irreplaceable role in the field of divination.

In ancient times, people regarded Tai Sui as a symbol of emperors and monarchs. In order to show the difference of seniority, the ancients had to avoid the direction of the prince. Because people have given Tai Sui an overly sacred color, Tai Sui has gradually become the main god of wealth and misfortune.

Whether the ancients prayed for good weather, or before the war, or even the people's weddings and funerals, they should avoid the place where Tai Sui passed, so as not to cause disaster, and the proverb "Tai Sui never touches the ground on his head" was extended here.

Gradually, Tai Sui has a deeper symbol. In which direction did the ancients think there would be a body in Tai Zi? For a long historical period, the ancients regarded the meat dug out of the soil as Tai Sui, also called "Rouzhi", "Rouganoderma lucidum" and "Feng", which were recorded in many ancient books.

In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen described Tai Sui in detail. According to Li Shizhen's records, Tai sui is like meat, black in color, with a belly, no mouth and no eyes.

Li Shizhen classified Tai Sui as edible, just like fish and insects. In many ancient books, Tai Sui is even more sanctified by myths. Eat a little and you will live forever.

What exactly is Tai Sui? So far, scientists have not given a clear answer. What we can know at present is that Tai Sui is actually an object that violates the laws of nature.

As for the understanding of Tai Sui, it may be due to the guidance in ancient books, or our long-standing inherent concept that Tai Sui is a living species. But what is this? So far, scientists have not reached a conclusion.

Can I eat in my old age? 1In August 1992, an unidentified creature weighing 20 kilograms was salvaged by villagers in Weihe River, zhouzhi county, Shaanxi Province. After experts compared the ancient books, people found that this is the rumored "Tai Sui".

At that time, some villagers fried it in oil, which shows that it is too old to eat. As for other aspects, we also hope that scientists can give answers as soon as possible and uncover the mystery for us.
