The other type of situation is cannibalism, which is an act of cruelty. Because of the different purposes, this kind of situation of the various specific manifestations of the differences, some people to eat human flesh to show off the ferocity, some people believe in the left to eat human flesh to cure a certain disease, some people because of the hatred to eat the enemy's flesh to give vent to their feelings of vengeance, and so on, and the years of famine forced to eat human flesh compared to the more barbaric and cruelty. This kind of cannibalism does not belong to the scope of punishment, but it and all kinds of torture to punish people have some similarities, open? It shows the cruelty consciousness and harsh mentality of the ancient people. Therefore, the second type of cannibalism mentioned above is included here as a chapter in this book to be described.
Historically, there were many violent generals and commanders who used human flesh as food for their armies, and wherever they went, they took people as food. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Fu Deng of the former Qin Dynasty led his army in battle and called the enemy soldiers he killed "cooked food". He said to his soldiers, "If you fight in the morning, you can eat fat meat in the evening, and don't have to worry about starvation." As a result, all his men were willing to serve, and they ate human flesh after the battle, and then fought again after they were full, because they were fierce and unusual. At the end of Tang Dynasty, Qin Zongquan often sent his generals around to slaughter the people, and his army did not bring rice and flour, so he salted the people he killed and carried them along with his army as army food. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, when Yang Xingmi besieged Guangling, the city ran out of food and grass, and the soldiers defending the city captured the people and sold them on the market, and sent people to kill them, like slaughtering pigs and sheep, and when these people were killed, they didn't even cry out. The end of the Sui Zhu Chuan, is a famous cannibalism demon king. At that time, Xiangyang, Dengzhou, the area of the great famine, rice 10,000 yuan a dendro can not buy, the people eat each other into the wind. Zhu Ch'ung took advantage of the chaos to rise up an army, and often captured young children steamed and ate meat. He said to his soldiers, "The most beautiful food in the world can be more than human flesh, as long as there are people in the country, I don't have to worry about not having food for the army." So he ordered his men to capture women and children in separate lanes and steam them for distribution to the soldiers as meals. Whenever a town was captured, Zhu Ch'ung passed the order to distribute the weak
small men and women to the various ministries, and to kill them for food when needed. When Zhu Ch'ung surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan sent his general Duan Ch'ung to accept the surrender and to work for the army. During the banquet, Duan Ch'ung, half-drunk, joked to Zhu Ch'ung that "I heard that you love to eat human flesh, so what is the taste of it?" Zhu Ch'ung sneered back and said, "If it's a person who just drank wine, his meat is like bad hidden pork." Duan Zu was furious and scolded, "You crazy thief, since you have entered my Tang Dynasty, you are nothing but a lackey, how dare you eat people?" Chu Ch'ung was also furious, so he ordered Duan Chen to be killed and his flesh cooked. Chu Renwu of the Qing Dynasty, "Sui and Tang Yuyi" in a round named "□ human flesh Zhu Chuan animal heart", describes Zhu Chuan's atrocities. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao revolt, led the siege of Chenzhou, captive people for the army food, put the people in the pestle and mortar even bone pounded, boiled as a meal.
The Five Dynasties' Zhao Siò and Zhu Chuan were the same. When he was leading the army to occupy Chang'an, there was no food in the city, so he killed women and children as food for the army, and distributed them to all the departments according to a certain number, and killed hundreds of people every time he gave the army a reward. Zhao Siò loved to eat human liver, he tied a living person to a wooden post, cut open the stomach, cut off the liver, fried and satiated, finished the liver, the person whose liver was cut off was still screaming. Zhao Siò from rebellion to defeat, *** eat human liver sixty-six pairs.
This kind of human flesh instead of military rations, in some of the righteous division can not be exempted. For example, it is recorded in history that during the Anshi Rebellion, Zhang Patrol guarded Suingyang, and his soldiers ****eat 30,000 people. At that time, people believed that this was a fact and were very surprised, but Han Yu held a different opinion and thought it was impossible, and wrote an article to examine and defend it. Later generations have also been re-discussed this matter, said Zhang patrol's army eat 30,000 is not the people, but the bodies of fallen soldiers; also said Zhang patrol killed his concubine, Xu Yuan cooked the boy is also inconsistent with the facts, in fact, is Zhang patrol's concubine to see the situation is critical and committed suicide, Xu Yuan's boy is fear and died violently, Zhang Xu two public opportunity to use their meat to reward the soldiers, as a means to solidify the heart of the army. Although history has exaggerated, no matter whether it is Huang Chao or Zhang Xuan, there is always the case of eating human flesh due to the lack of food in the army. In ancient times, wars were brutal, and at special moments of life and death, the environment forced human nature to alienate and return to the state of cannibalism in the animal kingdom. Such a situation is not only seen in the Tang Dynasty. Northern Song Dynasty Jingkangyuan year 1126), the Jin soldiers invaded the south, war and chaos, the officials and soldiers and the people have no food to eat, so all the dead with salt, sun-dried into dried meat, for consumption. Dengzhou Fan Wen organized the volunteer army against the Jin Dynasty, after the defeat of the boat across the sea to Lin'an, the team into the city is still eating the dried human flesh carried. They called this dried human meat "two-legged sheep", in which the old and thin men called "spare the fire" (meaning that this kind of human meat is old, need to add more fire), young women called "not envy sheep The young women were called "not envious of sheep" (meaning that the flavor of this kind of people was better than that of sheep meat), and the children were called "rotting with the bones" (meaning that the children's meat was tender, and when they were cooked, even the meat and the bones rotted together). The suffering of the people at the time of the chaos can thus be imagined.
The end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world is in turmoil, Nai Bing four, stationed in the right side of the Huaihua government troops lack of food, but also to catch people to eat. They considered the meat of children as the best, the meat of women second, and men second. There are many ways to eat people. Some are put in a vat, outside the fire simmering baked, straight
To the people baked; some are put on an iron shelf, the following fire grilled, like a skewer of lamb; there is the people's hands and feet tied up, poured with boiled water on the body, and then use a bamboo broom to brush off the outer layer of the body of the bitter skin, and then cut and peeled the muscle cooking and frying and eating; there is the living in a large cloth bag, into the cauldron to cook; Some people were cut into several pieces, salted, and taken as they were eaten; some only intercepted the two legs of a man, or only cut off the two breasts of a woman, and threw away the rest. It is difficult to describe all the cool and poisonous practices. They called this kind of human meat "want meat", which means that after eating it, it is delicious and makes people miss it. The tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty can be seen here.
There were countless people who were eaten by officials and soldiers.
Ming and Qing dynasties, the phenomenon of official soldiers eating people has been recorded. Ming Chenghua years, Hukuangdu commanders Peng Lun followed Zhao Fu to pacify the Dato Gorge □ people rebel, the captured prisoners tied to a pole, so that soldiers will be shot to death by arrows, and then cut their limbs, so that the soldiers cooked and eaten. Qing Shunzhi nine years (1652) Southern Ming general Li Dingguo led an attack on Xinhui, the city ran out of food, □ military guards killed residents for food. There was a daughter-in-law surnamed Mo who lived with her mother-in-law, and when the guard was about to kill and eat her mother-in-law, Mo kowtowed and asked to die for her mother-in-law, and the guard said, "What a good daughter-in-law who is filial!" The general said, "What a filial daughter-in-law!" He granted her request, gave up her mother-in-law, and cooked and ate Mo. There was another woman named Li, whose husband was captured by the general and was about to be killed. Li cried and said, "My husband doesn't have a son yet, so if he is killed, his family's progeny will be eliminated, so what's the use of me even if I am alive? Please eat me!" The general agreed, and cooked Li's body and gave her bones to her husband to take home for burial. Another poor scholar named Liang was captured by the guards and was about to be cooked, but his ten-year-old daughter begged to take her place, and the guards were moved to release the father and daughter together. Once the city gates were about to close, hundreds of people from the countryside flocked outside the gates and asked for refuge in the city, the Xinhui magistrate did not agree to take them in, but the Qing general said: "Let them come in! In time of emergency, this group of people can be our rations for ten days." So he opened the city gates and let the people in. Xinhui County was besieged for eight months, and the defenders ate nearly ten thousand people. One family had several mouths to feed, and only one person was spared. After the military turmoil, the survivor met a Qing army general on the road one day, and knelt down to bow down to him. The guard was surprised and asked, "Why are you worshipping me?" The man said, "My parents and wife are buried in your belly, and they have no graves. Now that the Cold Food Festival is approaching, where can I worship if not in your belly?" The guard was filled with shame and left in a hurry. This cannibalistic Qing army general still has a little compassion for the ten-year-old girl and a little shame for the reproach of the victims, showing that his humanity is not completely extinct after all.
Anciently, there are still many people out of the ferocious nature or strange hobbies, to eat human flesh, drink human blood to meet the cruel desire. Such instances were numerous and appalling to say the least.
In 661 B.C., the Zhai people attacked the state of Wei, killed Duke Wei Yi, ate his flesh, and abandoned his liver. There was a minister of Wei named Hong Yan, who was on a mission at that time, and when he heard that there was a change in the country, he rushed back in a hurry
and when he saw Yi Duke's liver, he cried in pain, and decided to commit suicide, using his own body as a coffin, and then after committing suicide, he had his internal organs dug out, and Yi Duke's liver was put into his abdominal cavity to be buried. Wei Yi Gong was the only king in history who was eaten. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Shi Jilong's prince Shi Profound was so vicious that when he saw a beautiful nun, he grabbed her, raped and killed her, cooked her meat with beef and mutton, and gave the meat to his left and right to savor the taste of human flesh together. When Sun Si of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in rebellion, he captured the magistrate and chopped him into meat paste, and killed his wife and children to eat the meat. Who refused to eat the flesh of this man, he was mutilated and executed, and even his flesh was also eaten?
Toward the end of the Sui Dynasty, Zhuge Ange and Gao Zan were a pair of extravagant and ferocious people. They competed with each other for wealth, and both wanted to get the upper hand, and invited each other to banquets, and both boasted of their extravagance by all means, in order to surpass each other for satisfaction. One day, Gao Zan invited Zhuge Ange to a banquet, and cooked a pair of twins in their teens, with their heads, hands and feet on separate plates, and served them at the banquet. When the guests saw that it was human flesh, they covered their mouths and wanted to vomit. Soon after, Zhuge Ang feasted on Ao Zhe? When one of his concubines made a toast, the concubine laughed for no reason, and Zhuge Liang angrily scolded her and ordered her to leave. In a short while, the whole concubine in a large steamer steamed, arranged into a cross-legged meditation position, placed in an oversized silver plate, her face re-powdered, the body with brocade? Her face was re-powdered and her body was covered with brocade. She was covered with brocade. After this "dish" was brought up, Zhuge Ange personally tore the meat from her thighs for Gao Zan to eat, and all the guests at the same table covered their faces and did not dare to look at it. Zhuge Ange was so calm that he tore the fat meat from his concubine's breasts and chewed it to his heart's content. Later on, Zhuge Ange and Gao Zan were captured by thieves, who demanded gold and silver treasures from them, but when they couldn't come up with any, the thieves tied them to a stake and cut off their flesh piece by piece and roasted it to eat as a drink. These two man-eating beasts eventually became the food of others.
After the Tang Dynasty, there were even more cases of such cannibalism. During the Wu Zetian period, Xue Zhen, a lieutenant of Lin'an County in Hangzhou, was a good eater of human flesh, and a debt collector came to Lin'an with a servant and stayed at an inn. Xue Zhen killed the two of them by getting them drunk with wine, and then put the bodies into a cauldron and boiled them with water and mercury to reduce the bones and the flesh to a meat sauce. Xue Zhen then tried to cook his wife, who fled and reported to the county magistrate, who sent someone to arrest Xue Zhen, and when he found out the truth, he flogged him to death. At the same time with Xue Zhen, Lingnan Chen Yuanguang violent temperament, once he hosted a banquet, a manservant came out to toast, Chen Yuanguang furious, ordered the guards to immediately pull him out to kill him, and then his meat boiled on the feast for the guests to taste. The guests did not know that it was human flesh, and said it was delicious while eating it. Later, when the two hands were brought up, the guests realized that what they were eating was human flesh, and they were all disgusted, and vomited out all the meat they had just eaten. At that time, there was another Shi state governor Dugu Zhuang liked to eat human flesh, he was sick when he didn't want to eat, only recalled that he usually ate human flesh tasted good, at that time, some of his subordinates died a servant girl, so he asked someone to cut off the meat under her ribs and cook it for him to eat. During the reign of Yuan He, Zhang Maoyu, a festival minister, often ate human flesh, and when he was later appointed to the court, he was asked whether it was true or false that he had eaten human flesh in the festival town,
and he replied unabashedly, "Human flesh is fishy and, how can I eat it?" At the time of Emperor Daizong, Yan Zhen had the same hobby. When Li Gou was the governor of Yingzhou, he captured seven thieves, who killed many people and ate their flesh. When Li Gou asked them why they ate human flesh, the leader of the thieves confessed that they were taught by a certain river wrong gun thief, who said that after eating human flesh and sneaking into people's rooms at night, the family would be unconscious, and thus would not be detected when stealing. Five Dynasties, after the Jin dynasty carambola from Jane from the butcher's family, because of military service officer to the left Jingwuwei on the general, successive Hanyang, Zhongwu, Wuning and other towns of the festival minister, especially love to eat human flesh, the place they go, are sent to the cronies to capture the folk of the children steamed and eaten. Liu Xin, the king of Cai in the later Han Dynasty, was even more? An extremely cruel guy, he was in charge of the forbidden army, if someone around the crime, they caught his wife and children, in front of his face zero knife cut them, so that the offenders to eat the meat of their own relatives. The people who were cut were separated from their heads, hands and feet, and the blood flowed all over the ground, Liu Xin raised his cup and drank wine, and let the band play music, without any expression of pity. Although Liu Xin himself does not eat human flesh, but his behavior and those who eat people compared to the degree of tyranny, it is difficult to distinguish between light and heavy.
During the Song Dynasty, cannibals were not uncommon. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a man named Wang Jixun, who was the son of Wang Rao, a minister of the Changde Festival, and the half-brother of Empress Xiaoming, and who was given a key position by the court because he was a relative of the emperor. Later, he was deported because of the crime of lawlessness, unhappy, perverted psychology, specializing in slicing and dicing slave girls for fun. Kai Bao three years (970), he resumed the official division of the two zong, more and more brutal temperament, often forcibly bought folk boys and girls as slaves, a little less than desired, they killed, cooking and eating their inner. Song Taizong Zhao Gui succeeded to the throne, some people revealed his crimes, (977) will be removed from his official punishment. He confessed to *** killing and eating more than a hundred maidservants. He was beheaded in Luoyang for his crime. During the reign of Emperor Renzong, Nong Zhigao's mother, Ah Hu of Guangyuan Prefecture, loved to eat human flesh and killed a small child for her to eat at every meal.
All of the above examples are still only kill people, the human flesh with baking, steaming, cooking and other methods of cooking to eat, if from the use of fire this point, these are still slightly human breath. What's more, in ancient times, there are a lot of people eating human flesh or human blood, human brain and human organs, that is simply no difference with the animals, there is no talk about what human nature.
Back in the Warring States period, there was such a thing. There were two warriors in the state of Qi, one living in the east of the city and the other in the west, who were at odds with each other. One day, they suddenly met on the rushes and wanted to compete to see who was the real warrior. They went together to a hotel to drink wine, and one said, "You can't drink without a drink." So he drew his sword and cut off a piece of flesh from his own body for the other. The other did not show any weakness and also drew his knife and cut off a piece of his own flesh for the other to eat. In this way you cut a piece, and I cut a piece, and cut and cut, and in a short time both men gave their lives.
These two warriors are typical of the brave and ruthless. They were only self-inflicted injuries, of course, is very cool, but and we want to recount the brutalization of other people's animal behavior is after all different. In history, there were some people who were as ruthless as wolves, who ate others alive. During the Three Kingdoms period,
Gao Li, a general of the state of Wu, was a good drinker and loved to kill people and drink their blood. Every night, he captured passers-by near his residence, killed them, and then drank their blood and ate their flesh. In the early Tang Dynasty, Liu Lan, the governor of Daizhou, rebelled and was beheaded. A general named Qiu Xinggong dug out Liu Lan's heart and liver and ate it with his hands, which he wanted to show that he hated the rebels' position. He wanted to show his hatred for the rebels by eating the heart of Liu Lan. He wanted to win the emperor's heart, but Emperor Li Shimin, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, hated his brutal behavior and rebuked him, saying, "What kind of punishment should be imposed on the rebels is clearly stipulated by the law, so why do you have to do it? If eating the heart and liver of a rebel in raw form is considered a sign of loyalty and filial piety, then Liu Lan's heart and liver should be given to the crown prince and the kings to eat, how can it be your turn?" Qiu Xinggong made a fool of himself and retreated in shame. According to legend, Li Zhanhua, the king of Dongdan in ancient Qidan, drank human blood, and he often pierced a hole in the body of a servant girl, and sucked the blood from the wound with his mouth, like a child sucking milk. Northern Song general Wang Yansheng led the battle, after the victory will order a banquet, the enemy soldiers captured prisoners tied to the side, he used his hand to tear off the captive's ear, put in his mouth to chew, while slowly raise the cup to drink wine. The captive's face was covered with blood and screamed in pain, but the king ignored it and laughed and talked with his guests. He ate the ears of hundreds of captives in this way***.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Han Yong, a native of Changzhou, was a general and led an army to quell a rebellion of the Zhuang and Yao tribes in Guangxi. Once, he and the generals in the yuanyuanmen discussing military, several prisoners pulled over to beheading, and then plucked out the heart of the dead, smashed open the skull to take out the brain juice, while hot to eat down to the belly. The generals were shocked Han Yong □ attitude calmly, not seriously. Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's fifth son of Zhou Ding Wang Zhu □ son of Zhu Youxi, he has a hobby of eating people alive, love to eat people's liver, bile and brain juice. Every day after dark, when he saw people passing by the royal residence where he lived, he ordered his men to lure them to the residence and kill them for his consumption. Later, people dared not pass in front of or behind his mansion. It is not surprising that an imperial nobleman like Zhu Youxi was so septuagenarian, and the cannibalistic behavior of the ferocious officers and generals under him was also not surprising.
Liu Zeqing of the late Ming Dynasty was also a typical character who ate people alive. He in the Hongguang dynasty for the general, the town of Luzhou (now Hefei), usually read poetry, on the surface seems to be quite elegant, but in fact his temperament is extremely ferocious. He raised two chimpanzees in his house, tame to be able to engage in simple. One day, Liu Zeqing set up a banquet to invite guests, let an orangutan holding a golden ou containing three liters of wine to the guests kneeling toast. The orangutan looked hideous, the guests were so scared that they did not dare to take the wine. Liu Zeqing laughed and said: "you even this animal is also afraid?" He also asked people to pull over a dead prisoner, killed on the spot in the banquet hall, take out the brains and liver in another golden ou, let another orangutan holding, Liu Zeqing ate the bloody human heart and liver, drinking white flowers of human brains, as if there is no one else, the guests are not scared to death. Later, Liu Zeqing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which was worried about his erratic behavior and found an excuse to tear off his limbs. This man-eating beast did not get a good ending.
The following is an example of those who believe in the evil art of eating human flesh to cure certain diseases. If it is said that to fulfill the tyrannical desire ? People, the main thing is to show the human nature
left behind the animal ferocity, then, trying to eat human flesh to cure the behavior is in addition to the ferocity of the more animal-like stupidity. With the modern scientific point of view, human flesh or human organs with other animals, compared with the composition of its tissue is not fundamentally different, the human body contains about organic material, in other animals can also be found. Moreover, some animals such as deer, tiger, otter, musk, turtle and some insects contained in the body of microbiological elements, trace elements or organic substances can be used for medicinal purposes are better than the human body. Therefore, even if the human body has a certain nutritional value and medical value, it can be completely replaced by the body of other animals. Ancient priests, sorcerers, and leftists advocated cannibalism as a cure for illnesses in order to show the mystery of their spells and to create a horrible atmosphere that shocks people's hearts and minds so that they would be feared and obeyed. Their practices were in fact superstitious in nature and, like praying for the avoidance of superstitions, exorcism of ghosts and other evil arts, were harmful to people. They took advantage of the ignorance of the people at that time and practiced deceptive means to obtain money and other purposes. Throughout the ages, the real scientific consciousness of the famous scholar or famous doctors never believe that eating people can cure the disease this kind of nonsense, and believe in the left way of the evil art is mostly greed, stupidity, sewing mediocrity will be or the tycoon and ruffians of the stream, they have enough money can be satiated with the selfish desires of the square priests, and there are enough power to prey on the eaten, or else the square priests will not be offered to them to cure the disease of the people eating the evil plot.
The prominent representative of this type of people is the Sui dynasty of hemp Shu Mou. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was appointed to open a canal, and he was appointed to be the supervisor of the river. When he arrived at Ningling, he fell ill and became bedridden, and sought medical treatment. The doctor said that he had to use fat and tender mutton to steam and add medicines, and take them together. Ma Shumou asked people to find a few lambs, with apricot cheese, schizandra together with steamed food, called "with crispy sliced meat". The country people came to offer lambs about thousands of people, hemp Shumou accepted the lambs, gave them a generous reward. Ningling County under the horse village called Tao Hamer, rich but violent, his family's ancestral tomb near the river, afraid of digging the river to be unearthed, stole someone's home a three or four year old boy, killed and cut off the head and feet, steamed into a food box to offer to Ma Shumou. When Ma Shumou ate the meat, it was so delicious and flavorful, different from lamb, that he was very satisfied and ordered the river to make a detour when passing by the Tao family's graveyard. The Tao brothers thanked Ma Shumou for his kindness, and continued to steal and steam children to ask for rewards. Other people learned that the Tao brothers also followed their example and stole children from the countryside in exchange for rewards. At that time, the nearby villages lost hundreds of children one after another, and the cries of mothers who lost their children could be heard everywhere. So, all the local families with children made a large wooden cabinet, wrapped in iron, and hid the children in the cabinet at night, locking it with a big lock, and the whole family was on duty with candles to keep watch. To dawn to open the cabinet, if the child is still there, the whole family celebrated. Even so, the incident of losing the child still kept happening. Later, Ma Shu Mou full of evil, Emperor Yang to "eat people's children, receive people's gold, send thieves to steal the treasure, trespassing on the river" and other charges to punish him, sent the great will come to protect him to arrest and execute the child, Tao hammer child brothers also at the same time. Ma Shu Mou cannibalism many books have recorded, late Ming Dynasty Ruan Dacheng's legendary "Muni Hop"
also wrote such a plot. H
In fact, the doctor gave hemp uncle prescription is not human flesh, hemp Shu Mou due to the small sycophants of the hoodwinking and changed to eat human flesh, once eaten on the mouth can not be collected □, and thus the evil deeds of cannibalism in the history books. In the ancient times, those who directly adopted the prescription of the prescription of eating human flesh to cure the disease are also many, their behavior is worse than Ma Shumou.
Ningzong Jiading year of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin Qianzhi served as the governor of West Qinzhou, got a disease (end disease), a doctor told him to eat the flesh of boys and girls can be strong and healthy bones. Therefore, Lin Qianzhi sent people to catch young boys and girls in the state, and made them into dried meat, called "ground chicken" and "ground duck". Jiading ten years (1218), the matter was reported by the local Secretary of State, Lin Qianzhi was removed from the court, but not sentenced to death, only exiled to Hainan. Due to the political corruption of the Southern Song Dynasty, such a man-eating dim official went unpunished.
Some people believe that sucking human brain marrow can cure diseases. Ming Dynasty Wanli, the court sent to Fujian tax eunuch Gao □ was castrated, someone told him to take children's brain marrow and medicine to take, you can make the penis grow back, restore sexual function, so Gao □ seized the folk children, sucking brain, resulting in tax supervisors House courtyard pool of white bone tired. (See Palace Penalty) In the early Qing Dynasty, during the reign of Shunzhi, the county magistrate of Anyi, Deer Duixin got the disease of impotence paralysis (hemiplegia), and there was a priest who claimed to be the reincarnation of Liu Haixian, and would do mediumship, and said that eating the brain of a child could cure the disease. Deer believe in his words, with a high price to buy a child, hit his head to death, take out the brain stewed to take. In this way, he ate a lot of children, but his condition did not get better, and then he asked a square priest to help him to seek immortality, and the square priest taught him to eat raw brains again. So Deer Dutiful heart will be captured children crack open the skull, raw suck brain juice. However, he did not get well and died soon afterward. This example shows that sucking human brain marrow is unlikely to produce beneficial effects in curing diseases.
There are also people who believe that the human fetus has the role of tonic, cooking the fetus in order to try to strengthen the body. Ming Dynasty, there is a name Wang Guan, ? People, passionate about the art of room. He had a servant girl concubines more than ten people, wanton indulgence, servant girl pregnant about to give birth, Wang Guan let her take medicine to abort. Fetus output, Wang Guan put the fetus in the stone mortar pounded into meat sauce, prepared as pills. He also bought young children from other families to cook and eat their meat. Later, the matter was exposed, Wang Guan was convicted and executed with death by lynching. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were people who practiced some kind of Vajra Zen and also ate human fetuses. It is said that at that time, Yangzhou East Township ten miles of paddy fields, one night, in the field in the hayloft in the green farmers saw the distant river in front of the land temple fire, or big or small, bright and dark. They felt suspicious, so they gathered a few young and strong young men, each armed with a stick to go and look. Walked to the front, saw a monk sitting on the ground, next to the stone support an iron pot, is adding wood to cook. The peasants asked him what he was doing, and the monk said, "I went to the South China Sea to worship Buddha and returned, and I passed by here, and I was hungry, so I cooked some rice." The peasants were about to leave, one of them laughed and said, "Monk is not eating fasting, how do I idle in this pot □ have the aroma of meat?" While saying this, he jokingly lifted the lid of the pot and saw two fetuses cooking inside. The people were shocked and beat the monk with sticks. The monk fell to the ground
and counted his breath and said, "I am a Vajra Zen practitioner, and I must eat 36 male fetuses before I can become a great Taoist monk, and I've just eaten seven of them, and then I ran into you all. I just ate seven of them, and then I met you guys. It's all my fault that I'm not blessed enough to deserve this. You guys just beat me to death, there's no need to say anything more." The peasants were so angry that they struck the monk to death with seven hands and threw his body into the river. The so-called Vajra Zen practiced by this monk must have belonged to the category of leftist evil arts, which can be practiced secretly behind one's back. His tragic end illustrates the fact that cannibalism, no matter on what grounds it appears, cannot be understood by the general public, which is always ready to show strong opposition to such cruel practices.
Lastly, it is necessary to speak of the phenomenon of those who give vent to their hatred by eating each other's flesh. This category of cannibalism or biting is a means of expressing feelings, and ? face described all kinds of cruel behavior to eat people for fun is different. According to historical records, the Southern Liang Dynasty, Hou Jing rebellion, after the defeat was killed by the sheep Kun, the body sent to Jiankang (now Nanjing), the people have to cut and eat, and later burned his bones into ashes, suffered from the scourge of Hou Jing people and his ashes mixed in the wine to drink down the belly. Sui dynasty Yang Xuan Gan conspiracy, Emperor Yang captured him, the crime of nine families, and ordered the court officials below the Secretary, all go to cut and eat his meat. Tang dynasty wu zetian died, his favorite minister zhang yizhi, zhang changzong brothers were killed, the people first sliced the meat on their two, fried and eat, the meat and fat and white, like pig fat. Five Dynasties after the Jin Dynasty, Zhang Yanze was Yelu Deguang captured and killed, the public smashed open his skull, dug out the brain marrow, and cut his body meat, cooking together. During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch Liu Jin was executed by lynching after his downfall, and his enemies bribed the executioner to buy every piece of his flesh and eat it raw, in order to relieve the hatred in his heart. Jiajing, Wang was killed by Yan Song, and later Yan Song's son Yan Shifan was convicted and beheaded, Wang's son Wang Shizhen, Wang Shimao brothers paid to bribe the executioner, cut off one of Yan Shifan's legs and brought it home, boiled it to pay tribute to his father, and after that, Wang's brothers sat down opposite each other, and ate every piece of meat on that human leg. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang, killed Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, and take his blood and venison cooked together, given to the ministry to taste food, called "Fu Lu wine".
