This "longevity" is a topic that people have been discussing. Throughout the ages, people who want to live a long and healthy life, from the emperor to the people, are without exception. In fact, longevity is often inseparable from health care, and even young people have begun to pay attention to it. But nowadays, young people's health care methods are unusual, such as beer with medlar, facial mask and so on.

So in ancient times, when the average life expectancy was short, especially as emperors, they enjoyed wealth, but their health was the worst and their average life expectancy was the shortest. Among the more than 200 emperors in feudal society, their average life expectancy was about 39 years old, but one of them lived to 89 years old, which is unique among many emperors. He was the Qianlong emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Many people are curious about his regimen. Of course, his health care also has many secrets. So what is the secret of his real longevity? Today, the master of popular science will show you the secret of longevity of Emperor Qianlong.

Speaking of "longevity", there are many people over 80 years old and many centenarians. Everyone has his own secret of longevity, but in ancient times, when the average life expectancy was very low, many people wanted to live long. In particular, the emperors tried their best to live longer. For example, Qin Shihuang sent people east to Xianshan to look for an elixir of life. Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty loved alchemy and often took pills. But the wishes of the two emperors were shattered, and they died in their fifties and sixties. However, although there is no immortality, this life can indeed be extended through health care.

Let's say the position of ancient emperor, although it has the right to be rich, it can be said that it is the most worrying and demanding job. According to statistics, there are 209 emperors who can find the date of birth and death. The average life expectancy of so many emperors is only 39 years old. Thirty-nine years old is only a prime of life for today's society, but for ancient emperors, it is about to return home. However, among more than 200 emperors, five stood out and lived to be over 80 years old. They were Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Gou, Song Gaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, and Xiao Yan, Liang Wudi in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, who died at the age of 86, and the last Qianlong emperor of the Qing Dynasty lived to be 89. Why did he live so long?

Some experts have studied it specially. They found that Emperor Qianlong did have his own secret recipe for longevity. The first is heredity. Emperor Qianlong lived long because his family had longevity genes. This is not nonsense. Some related teams have done such a topic about the genetic factors of longevity. In other words, from a genetic point of view, longevity is indeed heritable, and this longevity mainly comes from the mother's genes. That is to say, in the family, if the mother can live a long life, then the child is more likely to live a long life, but if it is what the father often says, it is not necessarily.

So who is Gan Long's mother? It's Princess Xi. The old lady finally lived to be eighty-five. She can be said to be one of the Empress Dowager Cixi in the history of China. Furthermore, the loving mother Peng also lived to the age of 81. Therefore, Emperor Qianlong can live for so long without the maternal genes. If the mother mentioned just now can live a long life, then the "possibility" of her children living a long life is even greater. The word "possibility" should be emphasized. There is no absolute causal relationship between the longevity gene brought by the mother and the longevity of the child. So how much does this relationship account for? The results show that this factor accounts for 15% to 25%, so what other longevity secrets can he learn from?

Historians have concluded that the second reason for Emperor Qianlong's longevity is the law of daily life and diet. No matter what he has done since he ascended the throne, he has got up at five o'clock every day and has dinner after getting up. What do you have for breakfast? There is meat, vegetables and staple food. That is to say, the combination of meat and vegetables is reasonable and varied. It's time to "go to work" after dinner. I started reading the memorial, meeting with ministers and discussing state affairs. Then we will have dinner between noon 12 and 2 pm. Yes, it was dinner, but at that time the emperor had breakfast and dinner twice a day. If he is hungry at other times, it is called a snack. Dinner is also very rich. As usual, it is also a combination of meat and vegetables, and the diet is reasonable. After dinner, he no longer arranges work for himself. Start entertainment activities. Riding, archery, poetry, calligraphy, etc. Do whatever you want, be as comfortable as you can, and it will be almost evening after the activity. If you have unfinished work to continue, but wait until dark, I am embarrassed to go to bed after work.

Compared with Yong Zhengdi's enthusiasm for work, he only sleeps four hours a day, and the rest of the time is not in the batch of memorials, but on the way waiting for the memorials. Emperor Qianlong resolutely did not work overtime or stay up late. You should eat and sleep on time for major events. Emperor Qianlong and his father Yong Zhengdi were just the opposite. Besides a reasonable diet, Emperor Qianlong also loved to travel. Remember the summer in Princess Zhu Huan? It was met by Emperor Qianlong when he was traveling. At the beginning of each year, he will stay in Yuanmingyuan for a few days. In March, he will go to Panshan, Jixian County, Tianjin for a few days. It is hot in May and June, and he will go to Chengde's summer resort for the summer.

The third is that the secret of longevity is that the environment around you is very comfortable, which is divided into three parts: work, family and life. First of all, there is no dispute about the succession of Emperor Qianlong, and the ministers are all obedient. This working environment is very comfortable. Secondly, Emperor Qianlong had a good relationship with his wife, Empress Xiao. During the Qianlong period, the children were also very filial, and there was no brotherhood. In addition, Emperor Qianlong also realized that it is very rare for five generations to live under one roof, let alone the emperor's home, even in this folk home. This shows that the family environment is also good. Finally, the living environment of Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong optimized his work and life and other important places, not only renovated the existing palaces, but also built many new palaces, making the whole living environment very comfortable. Can his life span be shortened in such a high-quality environment?

Let's talk about his last secret. That is a wide range of interests. First of all, I love reading and learning, especially learning foreign languages. Emperor Qianlong knew five languages: Chinese, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui and Tibetan. He can communicate with ethnic minority leaders and answer questions without translation. The second is painting and writing poetry. His poems amount to more than 40,000, more than those of more than 2,000 poets in the Tang Dynasty. The third hobby is collecting, and he has a high appreciation ability for these collections. In the last issue, it was said that he identified a fake national law, and interested friends can go and have a look. In addition to these, Emperor Qianlong especially liked sports, especially horseback riding and hunting. Whenever he has time, he goes to the hunting ground to shoot arrows. Archery exercises his waist, abdomen and arm strength, which can be said to be a very good whole body exercise. Besides, he also practiced Tai Ji Chuan.

See this should have friends? Except genetics, everything else is on our doctor's lips now. Go to bed early and get up early, eat regularly, stay happy and exercise more. The only difficulty may be two words, called persistence. Ok, that's the end of this issue. How to treat the longevity secret of Emperor Qianlong in front of the screen?
