Answer: Thank you for your clogs.

Before ancient people went on a trip, they first had to do divination and choose a good time. Divination before traveling can be traced back to the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The main thing is that after divination, good luck will lead to action, and bad luck will lead to avoidance. After all, for ancient people, walking that far was still risky. Especially today, it seems that we can meet close friends in the mountains and rivers. In the past, it was difficult and dangerous. Li Bai once said: "Hey, how dangerous it is! The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky."

In addition to being cautious when traveling, the ancients also needed to prepare a lot of things These things include clothes, mud shoes, raincoats, bamboo hats, quilts, pillows, hand towels, foot towels, toiletries, scissors, combs, and candles. There are also cakes, tea leaves, chess pieces, folding chessboards and traditional Chinese medicines, such as: cooked mugwort, rhubarb, sodium salt, licorice, dried ginger, Sichuan pepper. According to many medical books such as "Qian Jin Yao Prescription" and "Yishuo", these are "Essential medicines for home travel", most of which have the functions of resuscitating aroma, removing filth and killing insects.

The luggage of veteran travel companion Shen Kuo also includes pen, ink, paper and inkstones, wine vessels, tea cups, axes, hoes, knives, oil cylinders, and Huzi (i.e. urinal). Yes, urinal, you read that right. Because many ancient inns did not have dedicated toilets, chamber pots are a must-have when traveling.

How did the ancients travel? I couldn’t help but laugh. So, in many TV dramas, it is necessary for people who go out to be accompanied by a book boy or a boy who carries the burden, because there are a lot of It’s very troublesome for one person to carry things.
