The so-called Wushi Powder, also known as Wuxing Powder or Cold Food Powder, mainly contains stalactites, viola, Bai Shiying, sulfur, halloysitum rubrum and some auxiliary drugs. It is said that this prescription was invented by Zhang Zhongjing and was first used for typhoid patients. This powder is hot and dry. If you take it, you need to eat cold food or drink alcohol to dissipate heat, so it is also called cold food powder.
But in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, a metaphysical scholar named Yanhe appeared in the upper class. This word has a lot to do with peace. He was Cao Pi's brother-in-law and a nobleman of Wei at that time. The trend of obedience and dispersion led by him ran through the whole Wei and Jin Dynasties. Noble children lead a bohemian life every day, leading to a long-term deficit. It is said that Wushi Powder has aphrodisiac effect. I bought and ate, but I couldn't stop eating. Under the propaganda of reconciliation, the May 4th Movement quickly spread among celebrities and literati. Samurai's three major ways are sought after by scholars in Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Taking Wushi powder is actually very troublesome and needs careful conditioning. You can't lie still for a while, but walk, so celebrities in Wei and Jin dynasties like walking best, which is also called "walking". And after taking it, my body is hot and dry, so I can only eat cold things in my light clothes and water my body with cold water, but one thing must be hot, and that is wine. Moreover, the skin is sensitive after the meeting, and it is forbidden to wear stiff new clothes or starched clothes, so most celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties are in rags.
We have heard that Wei Jinming is informal, bohemian and disheveled, which is actually the performance after serving. After taking Wushi powder, people will fall into a trance but happy state. In the dispersed people's minds, everything no longer exists, only self-awareness is expanding alone, and this feeling is exactly what celebrities in Wei and Jin dynasties pursue. This confused state is precisely the result of irregular and degenerate behavior.
In this way, it seems that drugs have been sprinkled on the five stones. Many people lost money to get food, and finally lost their lives. Wang Xizhi, a famous book saint, is one of the victims of the five stones burning. Ironically, doctors in the Jin Dynasty actually said that Wushi Powder had the efficacy of prolonging life and curing all diseases. Such remarks further contributed to the trend of clothing powder. It was not until Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, changed the formula and rebuilt it as Wushi Gengsheng Powder that Wushi Powder gradually faded out of the historical stage.
