    [1] "Ten Wins of Fanggui" Anonymous. Poem

    Juanjuan white snow crimson skirt cage,

    Infinite amorous feelings are flexing.

    Akatsuki wakes up cowardly,

    He leans against the curtain with his body style.

    ?Shuigunen, Yushanlong,

    Mandarin ducks hold the spring breeze in their quilts.

    When the rain stopped, Qingwan asked Yougan to take her there for convenience.

    Yougan took her to the radish field, and seeing a large piece of green radish, Qingwan said happily: "This is the carrot!"

    "Yes!" Yougan urged, "It's about to rain heavily, so hurry up! I'll go find some big radishes and bring them back."

    "Don't pull out other people's, if the owner of the radish comes back to see it, it would be bad!"

    "What's wrong?"

    "Live in other people's bridge holes and eat other people's radishes, like a robber."

    "I don't eat for free, I'll give money."

    "Oh~" Qing Wan squatted down reassuringly.

    After the rain, the radish tassels are extraordinarily green, and the shiny leaves are like the tail of a big rooster.

    It will take another month for the spring radishes to be harvested, but the red radishes are also like a shy little girl, secretly sticking out her head, hiding under the green leaves, spying on Yu Qingwan who is squatting on the ground for convenience.

    Suddenly, a flash of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a loud thunder.  Qing Wan raised her pants in panic, and ran towards You Gan with small steps.

    Yougan asked in surprise: "The owner of the carrot is here?"

    "Thunder! Thunder!" Qing Wan said in horror.

    The friend laughed dryly: "Oh, what's so terrible about a thunder?"

    Qing Wan tremblingly said: "Let's go back quickly!"

    Yougan held two radishes that had just been pulled out in his hand, and said, "My hands are full of mud, how can I hug you? In this way, you will come up on my back!"

    But Qing Wan didn't dare to let him carry it, fearing that the lightning from the sky would hit her, so she put her hands around You Gan's neck, jumped into his arms, wrapped her legs around his waist, and hung on his chest with great effort.

    Yougan grabbed Qingwan's back with both elbows and said, "You, you can really torment me!"

    "Kacha" was another thunder, and Qing Wan shivered for a while, and said, "Hurry up, there's so much nonsense!"

    Yougan asked as he walked quickly, "Why don't you let me carry you?"

    "Why Let me be behind to protect you from lightning"

    "You seem to be afraid of thunder?"

    Qingwan hugged Youqian even more tightly, "You saidGodwould you hit me"

    "What are you doing?"

    "I'm not, did I do something bad!"

    "What did you do wrong?"

    "Being with youprivateprivate meetingisn't it a big bad thing!?"

    You Gan was so tired that he was a little out of breath, he gasped and said, "Even ifGod wants to blowit's mehow can it be you?"

    There was another burst of gleaming paleness, and another string of billowing muffled thunder.

    Yougan clenched the radish tightly, wrapped Qingwan tightly with his forearm, and ran towards the bridge opening with great effort.  As soon as I ran to the bridge, raindrops the size of copper coins fell overwhelmingly.  The rain hit the river, splashing countless white water flowers.

    Yougan put Qingwan into the bridge hole and said, "I'll go to the river to wash the radishes."

    Qingwan was sitting on the edge of the cave, and just about to respond, another thunderous thunder exploded at the bridge head, as if it was going to shatter the entire bridge cave.  Qingwan was so frightened that she jumped into Yougan's arms all of a sudden, not even daring to breathe out.

    You Gan comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me!"

    Qing Wan tremblingly grabbed You Gan's chest and said, "Don't go, let me die in your arms!"

    "I won't go, and you don't want to die either." Yougan said, jumped onto the bridge hole, washed his hands and radish with hot water from the kettle, and picked a bigger radish for Qing Wan.

    Qing Wan was not in the mood to eat radishes, she shed tears watching the heavy rain outside.

    "Why are you crying?" You Gan asked.

    "Are we unable to go back today?"

    "If you don't come back, you won't go back. It's good to live here!"

    "Yes, but if you don't go home for two or three days, how can you explain to Sangu?"

    "Your aunt doesn't know that you are going home, even if I come to pick you up, she doesn't know."

    "But my father knows, if it is mentioned in the future, it will be wrong, what should I do?"

    Yougan pondered for a moment, then said: "I think, such a heavy rain will not last all day. Wait?? is for this reason.

    By the Song Dynasty, the use of bath beans had become very popular.  The novelty of this era is the emergence of "soap".  The important ingredients of traditional soaps are saponins (the fruit pods of the saponins tree) and "soap" (pods), which naturally have oil-removing properties.  "Thousands of Gold Prescriptions" mentions that saponins are used to make soup to cleanse the body, or saponins are added to bath beans as one of the raw materials.  The development of the Song people was to mix saponins with spices and various Chinese herbal medicines with beauty effects, mash them into powder, and then condense them into clusters to make finished products in the form of clusters and sell them on the market. This is the initial  The "soap".

    In addition, people also found a plant called Fat Pearl, which has large seeds and thick flesh, and is mainly distributed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This is the soap tree behind.  According to "Chicken Ribs" by Zhuang Jiyu of the Song Dynasty, there are few acacias in Zhejiang, and "fat beads" are used for bathing and washing clothes.  Every late autumn, people pick the fruit pods, boil and mash them, add spices, white flour, knead them into balls, and make "soap". The finished product is called "soap ball".  In addition to soap and acacia, "Chicken Ribs" also records that southern women soaked in water to wash and decontaminate with plant ash.  In addition, there is pig ling, but only richer people can use it. Spices are added in it, and ordinary people wash their hair with saponins.

    It should be said that the names of "soap" and "soap" that have been popular in Chinese history for a long time have appeared as early as the Song Dynasty, and they are derived from the two main raw materials of "saponica" and "soap (pod)".  Yang Shiying from the Song Dynasty recorded the specific "soap recipes" in "Renzhai Zhizhi" - Angelica dahurica, Baifuzi, Baizhu silkworm, Bletilla striata, pig's tooth saponins, Tribulus terrestris, Bailian, Caowu, hawthorn, Gansong  , white clove, rhubarb, ligusticum, crane white, almond, bean flour, one or two each, lard fat (film removed), three liang, light powder, mituoseng, camphor, half two each, baby tea three qian, soap (remove the inside)  The outer rubber bands are combined, and only one teacup of clean meat is required).  First smash the clean soapy meat, clean it with chicken, and dry it to remove the smell.  Make each drug into powder, and make pills with soap, lard, and chicken broth.  "

    It can be seen that this soap recipe is the inheritance and development of the bath bean recipe. Most of the ingredients used in the "bath bean recipe" recorded in "Qian Jin Fang" are also found here, and at the same time, new ingredients that are beneficial to beauty have been added.  Element.

    During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, folks made improvements to bath beans, blending and grinding sugar, lard, pig pancreas, spices and other ingredients in proportion, and heating and pressing them into shapes. This is "pancreas".  The lard in this kind of pancreas is partially decomposed into fatty acids by lipase, and then saponified by sodium carbonate into real fatty acid soap (the main component of modern soap), which can be said to be only one step away from modern soap.

    At the end of the Qing Dynasty, before the soap produced in the West was introduced to China, the traditional soap produced locally followed the formula invented in the Song Dynasty.  In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was very common for rich people to use soap. For example, "Jin Ping Mei" mentioned that "jasmine soap" was used when washing the face; "Dream of Red Mansions" also mentioned that "soap" was used when washing in the morning.  .  It should be noted that the ancient "bath beans" have not completely disappeared.  Since the soap contains a large proportion of cosmetic medicine and fragrance ingredients, the decontamination ability is relatively weak, so it is suitable for daily washing.  If you need a more powerful decontamination product, then the bean noodles without other ingredients are more effective.  In "Dream of Red Mansions", the female family members of Jia's family enjoy sweet-scented osmanthus and eat crabs. Sister Feng ordered the little girls to fetch "mung bean noodles smoked with osmanthus stamens, and prepare to wash their hands."

    The court documents in the late Qing Dynasty clearly recorded a unique medicinal soap carefully developed by the imperial doctors according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.  This soap was deeply loved by Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi.  While using traditional techniques to make soap, the imperial doctors added an appropriate amount of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients to the raw materials, so that this soap not only has a fragrant smell, can wash the skin and remove dirt, but also has the functions of nourishing the skin, health care and relieving itching.  role.  This kind of medicinal soap is not only deeply loved by the emperor, empress dowager, empress, concubines and princes in the palace, but also as a treasure rewarded by the palace.

    This kind of soap is also called sandalwood soap.  Because it is added with sandalwood, vanilla, Guanglingxiang and other plant spices with strong aroma.  Washing with such soap can not only soothe the skin, but also allow the fragrance of spices to penetrate into the surface of the skin, leaving an elegant and lasting fragrance.  The reason why "sandalwood" has been praised by people until now is because of its strong fragrance, which is beyond the reach of some other spices.  The scented soap of this formula can not only relieve the nerves and make the skin emit fragrance, but also nourish the skin, delay skin aging, improve skin nutrition, prevent skin itching and chronic dermatitis, etc.

    The earliest time when soap entered China, a relatively reliable record can be found in the advertisements made by British businessmen in Shanghai in 1854. These soaps were supplied to foreigners living in Shanghai.  Then, in 1860, some foreign firms in Shanghai began to purchase goods in batches and sold them to various places.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
