What is Tai Sui?

According to some domestic dictionaries, Tai Sui is another name for Jupiter in ancient times. Jupiter orbits the sun once every 12 years. It has a position every year, and there are years underground. According to folklore, when building a house, the door can't face its star position in the sky. Otherwise, the tai sui on the ground will be angry. Over time, there is a saying that "you can't touch the ground on your head." According to the folk saying, people are ashamed to put it into the traditional era, but why should they associate it with immortality? In fact, thousands of years ago, there were records about Tai Sui in China's ancient book Shan Hai Jing. In Shan Hai Jing, middle age is also called "seeing meat", "gathering meat" and "meat cheese". You see, everyone has the word meat, which means edible. According to Shan Hai Jing, "seeing meat" first appeared in front of ancient tombs, and it was an item that ancient emperors liked to eat before their death. It has the characteristics of "eat it up and get it back" and "eat it piece by piece", that is to say, it can grow again after eating one piece, which seems to be the same as the "unknown creature" discovered in Zhouzhi, Shaanxi Province, and has its own growth ability. As for the idea of longevity after eating, Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in Ming Dynasty, did record it in Compendium of Materia Medica. In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen called it the "Zhi" of the "Vegetable" Department of Rouzhi, which is also called "the top grade of this classic" with the Ganoderma lucidum we see now. Compendium of Materia Medica also lists several prescriptions focusing on "treatment", indicating that they have special curative effects on some difficult diseases, and their common characteristics are: "Long-term eating, strengthening the body and prolonging life". And because it has the characteristics of spontaneous growth, it is more precious. So emperors of all ages tried their best to find it. Among them, it is said that ancient emperors would look for Ganoderma lucidum. The most famous story is that Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls to find medicine. According to Records of the Historian Qin Benji, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, the emperor, as the king of a country, heard that there was an elixir in the East, which could make you live forever, so he personally led a team to the East to find the elixir in the 28th year of Qin Dynasty. He came to Langya Town, Shandong Province, and visited the famous alchemist Xu Fu, who was ordered to look for the elixir of life and gave Xu Fu a lot of manpower and material resources. Xu Fu immediately led 500 boys and girls eastbound and came to Penglai, Shandong Province to look for fairy medicine. So Chuifu built a ship and led 3,000 boys and girls to Fusang. He went to Yingzhou, the ancient abbot, which is now the Japanese archipelago, and continued to look for the fairy medicine. It is said that the fairy medicine that Qin Shihuang asked Xu Fu to look for included Ganoderma lucidum.
