Elixir of lifeIt is a kind of medicine that can make people live forever in ancient Chinese myths and legends.Originated from "Han Feizi, Talking about the Forest": "If you offer the immortal medicine, if you eat it and the king kills it, it is the dead medicine, and it is the king's deceit." It is the magic medicine that emperors of all dynasties have been pursuing.SubsequentFirst Emperor of QinSince then, emperors and princes and nobles of all dynasties have been obsessed with the elixir of immortality. However, the death rate at that time once rose rapidly because of the poisoning caused by taking too many of these drugs.But the people at that time did not know it, and they were obsessed with the ageless medicine, which could be described as ignorance.This medicine also frequently appears in many novels and TV dramas.
In 219 BC,First Emperor of QinHe once sailed around Shandong Peninsula, where he stayed for three monthsBohai BayThere are three fairy mountains calledPenglai、Buddhist abbot、a fabled abode of immortals。There are three immortals living on three fairy mountains, and they have the elixir of immortality in their hands.The man who told Qin Shihuang the magic story was Xu Fu. He was a local alchemist. It was said that he had seen the three fairy mountains with his own eyes.Qin Shihuang was very happy when he heard this, so he sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls to the sea to find the elixir of life.The huge fleet led by Xu Fu set out, but he drifted on the sea for a long time without finding the immortal mountain he said, let alone the elixir of immortality.Qin Shihuang was a tyrant. Xu Fu didn't finish his task. He would be beheaded in the style of Qin Shihuang when he returned, so he took these thousand boys and girls to Japan.
Although Xu Fu never returned, the First Emperor of Qin did not die of his desire to seek immortality. Four years later, in 215 BC, the First Emperor of Qin found another Yan person named Lu Sheng, who was a alchemist specializing in cultivating immortals. This time, the First Emperor of Qin sent Lu Sheng to the sea to seek immortality, which was different from Xu Fu. Xu Fu was looking for the elixir of immortality. This time, Lu Sheng went to the sea to look for two ancient immortals,One is called "Gaoshi" and the other is "Xianmen".
According to records, the "elixir of immortality" that Qin Shihuang could not find everywhere was popularly called "Taisui" and technically called "meat glossy ganoderma".But in the end, Qin Shihuang did not take the long-lived medicine. He did not live a long life, and even the Qin Dynasty died early.
