Story 1: Yuan Shu didn't even eat honey when he died.
Friends who are familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are familiar with Yuan Shao, but not too unfamiliar with Yuan Shu. The two brothers are typical players who play good cards, and they are not United. Finally, they are defeated by Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Yuan Shu's ending was sad and urgent, and he was beaten out of the water by Liu Bei, and finally there was no decent food. Once, Yuan Shu thought that rice was too rough to swallow and asked the chef to give him honey water to quench his thirst, but the chef replied, "There is only blood water, no honey water!" ! Water under the bridge. Yuan Shu sat on the bed, let out a cry and fell to the ground, vomiting blood and died. Yuan Shu, who had no strength, won the imperial edict, was ambitious, took the lead in proclaiming himself emperor, but became the target of public criticism and soon perished.
Story 2: Honey protects airplane engines.
In the past, when I taught myself English, I used the textbook New Concept English. I remember there was a passage in the second book, Sweet as Honey, which was about 1963 when a plane crashed and landed on an island, and it was accidentally discovered in 1989. It was brought back for inspection and miraculously found that one of the engines was still intact. It turns out that bees nest on it, and bees collect pollen to brew honey, because honey contains propolis, which has a good protective effect on the engine. The size of the world is really amazing.
Story 3: the origin of honeymoon
According to legend, the name of the princess of the British Cart tribe leader is Alice. She loves to eat honey since she was a child, and she is very beautiful. Princes from other tribes came to propose marriage, and all of them specially brought a lot of fine honey. Later, Alice took a fancy to one of the princes and planned to marry him. The princess asked the chef to make honey into wine and share it with all the guests at the wedding reception. Everyone drank the sweet and fragrant honey wine and was amazed. After drinking the rest of the honey, the princess and the prince drank it for another month. Honey wine is sweet and mellow, symbolizing the happiness of newly married couples. Later, the local custom of drinking honey wine for one month gradually formed, and people called the first month of marriage "honeymoon" cheaply.
There are also other versions that the "honeymoon" originated from the marriage snatching between the Dodons. After the man robbed his wife successfully, he fled with the new couple and hid in the barren hills without accommodation. He accidentally tasted honey and tasted the sweetness, so he picked honey to satisfy his hunger. Later, the leaders felt that it was a bad habit to rob the marriage and flee, and it was stipulated that they could flee for 30 days. After 30 days, he can live a stable family life when he goes back. Therefore, they spent 30 days outside sucking honey for a living, and later it evolved into the title of honeymoon, referring to the holiday after their wedding.
But I prefer to believe that the origin of honeymoon comes from the first rumor, because honey not only represents happiness, beauty and sweetness, but also represents diligence, courage and civilization.
