Life is full of changes, and illness is inevitable. No matter how the years pass, the efficacy of the drug remains to be discovered. Therefore, in the face of disease, we must remain rational and constantly seek the best methods and herbs that suit us, rather than blindly following the trend or ignoring science.
Primitive humans had little understanding of disease**, and they pinned their hopes on illusory ghost powers. This is the origin of rituals such as witch sacrifices, when the people believed in the existence of ghosts and gods.
For ordinary people, the power of ghosts and gods is boundless, and they can easily accomplish things that ordinary people cannot achieve in their entire lives.
Shennong tasted herbs, laying a solid foundation for human beings to identify herbs. However, in the long history of mankind, plague as a disease has brought greater fear to people.
From ancient times to the present, there have been many records of major plagues, such as the current coronavirus, which is also a major challenge to human survival. The terrible thing about the plague is its transmissibility.
Whereas a disease may only threaten an individual, the effects of a plague can spread rapidly, from a few hundred people to a city, and possibly even an entire country. If millions of people in a country are infected by the same virus, who can stop the country's demise?
The ancients said: "After the great calamity, there will be a great plague."
China has often been struck by natural disasters in history, and the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, as the mother rivers that nourish the Chinese nation, have brought convenience to the people living on both sides of the river.
The land nourished by the river produces abundant food, which is the benefit of the river. However, there are two sides to everything in nature. Rivers are merciless, even the mother river.
The water of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers nourishes many farmland, but when floods strike, they also ruthlessly claim countless lives, no less than the number of farmland.
Floods ravaged farmland and homes, and countless lives were lost. However, those who survived the flood were not necessarily luckier than those who died.
Especially in ancient times, the productive forces of society were far from those of modern times. Unlike today's society, living in our great new China, we can always get assistance from all sides in the face of disasters.
However, in the face of disasters, we have seen the unity of the country and society, and people have reached out to help and donated materials, showing the power of one country to fight natural disasters.
In comparison, the scene of fighting natural disasters with the power of the imperial court seems so pale. In the aftermath of the disaster, people's lives were full of difficulties, and the farmland was flooded, and the food and property accumulated in previous years were wiped out.
However, we believe that any difficulty can be overcome as long as we work together.
In an era when the imperial court is unable to provide relief and the officials are corrupt, where will the people who have lost their livelihoods go? can only endure hunger and hardship, and may even face the tragic fate of cannibalism.
The victims have lost their homes and cannot sleep in the wilderness every day, so they will be organized to set up tents, and then they will gather in groups in one place.
Such refugee communities face extremely poor sanitation because hundreds of thousands of people gather together and daily waste disposal is a problem. Moreover, people die every day in such places, either starving to death or dying of exhaustion from long-term travel.
What to do with the corpse? Untreated excrement and decomposing corpses are breeding grounds for germs. Coupled with the favorable conditions of dense crowds, the spread of the plague took advantage of the right time and place.
Once a plague starts to circulate, it may be easier to resolve if it is a plague that has appeared before. However, if it is an unprecedented strain like the new coronavirus, it is even more tricky.
The white bones cover the plain, and the hugging is abandoned among the grass. "How miserable and desolate is this picture, full of desolate fields, with bones buried in the yellow sand.
What was once a bustling town is now deserted, and the hustle and bustle of the past has disappeared into a pandemic. The Black Death, once endemic in Europe, was one of the most terrifying and terrifying plagues.
According to statistics, the number of deaths due to the Black Death was as high as 200 million, which is extremely rare in human history. Therefore, major plagues must be extinguished in the bud, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Humanity is not faced with the responsibility of any one country alone, but with the interests and security of all. As the old saying goes: "There are only three major epidemics, and there will be disaster after three." ”
The "great plague" here refers to a large-scale plague, while the "no more than three" means a three-year period, that is, after three years, the plague magically disappears. It is interesting to note that some of the largest and far-reaching plagues in history have miraculously disappeared after three years.
There are many different legends about why the plague died. Some people believe that the plague lost its medium of transmission and disappeared naturally. Others believe that the plague is a curse that will dissipate on its own when the time comes.
Among the many different statements, this last sentence seems quite clear and easy to understand. "If you pass three, you will suffer"In simple terms, the plague cannot last for more than three years, and once it exceeds three years, it will bring extremely serious consequences, that is, disasters.
In the past, the unit of measurement of time made the life of the common people miserable. Farmers, in particular, will not be able to support themselves, will not be able to earn food rations, and may starve to death if they delay plowing their fields.
A one-year loss is already serious, not to mention the consequences of three years. Even a county, a country, could not withstand the ravages of a massive plague for three years. However, these all happened in ancient times, and those of us who live in modern times need to progress with the times.
Today's society, both in terms of productivity and in terms of national dispatch capacity, is far superior to ancient times. In the case of the current pandemic, the whole country has come together to survive the most difficult initial outbreak.
At present, the epidemic has been effectively controlled, and all localities attach great importance to epidemic prevention and control, although economic development has been affected to a certain extent, but compared with the spread of the epidemic, these sacrifices are worth it.
