The sister cut off her own thigh meat to make porridge in order to treat her father's illness. What did the sister do?

My sister smashed out her brains to make medicine. In ancient times, there were many examples of cannibalism. For example, in "Water Margin", there were people who sold human meat buns, some who ate human flesh raw, and some who sacrificed human heads to heaven. In general, the use of human flesh in this book is only accidental, and must be done in private, because the government does not allow this.

When natural disasters occur, human flesh will be used on a large scale. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, many places in Shandong had no harvests due to floods. After eating the roots of bark and grass, people began to eat human flesh, first eating children, and then eating women. During that time, one-third of the total population disappeared inexplicably. one. In times of war, human flesh is used as military rations. During the Anshi Rebellion, the besieged armies had nothing to eat, so they sold their food internally. After eating their horses, cattle, and donkeys, they began to eat children. Some armies even openly used children's meat as their daily food.

But sometimes, cannibalism is seen as a sign of filial piety. There was a Zhu couple in the Song Dynasty. The first time the mother-in-law fell ill, the son cut meat for his mother to eat. When the mother-in-law fell ill for the second time, the daughter-in-law also cut meat. This move made Zhu become a well-known virtuous woman and was highly praised. In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a pair of sisters surnamed Qin. Their father was ill. The younger sister cut off the meat from her thigh to make soup for her father. The older sister smashed her head open and used the brains to make medicine. Of course, this move also left their names in history.

In fact, human flesh has no medicinal value. A bowl of human flesh soup is about the same as drinking pork soup. However, there are still many foolish and filial sons and daughters who cut meat for their parents to eat, just for a good reputation. But at that time, good reputation was more important than anything else. Cutting meat involves taking great risks, especially in an environment with poor medical conditions. A good reputation may cost a human life.
