There were 259 feudal lords in China from Qin Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, of whom 209 were born and died, but their average life span was only 39.2 years. Among them, only 8 people lived to be over 70 years old. They are: Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who lived 70 years; Liang Wudi, Shou 80; Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, lived 78 years; Wuhou is big, with a life span of 81; Zhao Gou, Song Gaozong, life 81; Kublai Khan, Yuan Shizu, lived 80 years; Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, lived 71; Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty lived 89 years. Visible, among the emperors of China, for the crown. & gt Di was born on September 25th,171/and died on February 7th, 1799. In Changchun, he was named a layman, a master of believing in heaven, also known as the ancient emperor, and a perfect old man. In his youth, he was physically strong, had excellent eyesight, and walked firmly and upright. Although he suffered from "hemorrhoid blood" and frequent urination in his later years, he was quite healthy on the whole. He didn't use glasses all his life. At the age of 87, he was able to go hunting and read and write shortly before his death. & gt Emperor Qianlong was very proud. When he celebrated his seventieth birthday, he wrote a special story about Guxi, and he also liked to carve seals, calling himself "Guxi Emperor". By the time I was 80 years old, I felt "deeply attached to Lotus and my family" and "not in a fog, unprecedented since ancient times". Therefore, he also carved "Bagua Tubao" and made "Bagua Tubao" to express his feelings for the spring breeze and ambition. After the British envoy Macartney went to chengde mountain resort to meet the Emperor Qianlong, he described Qianlong like this: "Although he is 83 years old, he looks like a 60-year-old man, and his spirit is tough and he can surpass the teenager; On the occasion of eating and drinking, the order is regular and strict, which is very magical. & gt& gt According to common sense, the emperor was supreme in feudal society, and all the people in the world belonged to the royal family. Generally, there are three palaces and six courtyards, and concubines are bohemian, so many people die young and few people live long. So why did Emperor Qianlong live a long life and devote himself to it? & gt Experts on medical records in Qing Dynasty believe that there are three main reasons for Qianlong's longevity: First, he pays attention to physical exercise, likes hunting and travels in famous mountains and rivers; Second, the law of life, frugal diet, cautious life; The third is to take longevity drugs for a long time. & gt As early as the Kangxi period, Emperor Kangxi often visited. According to historical records, Emperor Kangxi, who lived for 69 years, went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, traveled to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and visited places of interest in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Four patrols beyond the Great Wall, stationed in Dolonor, Krulun River, Langju Xushan and Suoyurki Mountain. Four visits to Wutai Mountain, a Buddhist holy place, to enjoy the scenery of the north. Climb Mount Tai, worship Dongyue, Le Taiyuan and Le Xi. & gt Emperor Qianlong, who was bent on imitating his grandfather, visited Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River for six times, and wrote poems on boating on the Grand Canal, which became a much-told story. & gt Although the emperor could ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair, the logistics supply was fully guaranteed, it was hard enough to cross mountains and rivers and saddle horses for a long time under the material and traffic conditions at that time. This kind of hard training is naturally beneficial to physical and mental health. The author calculated an account: it took 666 days to go to Jiangnan six times, with an average of11day each time. It is natural to have a strong body, which can greatly promote physical and mental health for such a long time. & gt In addition, Emperor Qianlong, like his grandfather, likes hunting very much. In the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi once said to his bodyguard, "I have won hundreds of tigers, bears, leopards, lynxes, deer, wolves, wild boar and deer since I was a child." The rest of the animals have been caught, so it's hard to remember. Another day, 318 rabbits. & gt Such a large-scale hunting activity has undoubtedly greatly enhanced the physique of Kangxi and members of the royal family. Emperor Kangxi was not only keen on riding and shooting to enhance his physique, but also defined riding and shooting as "ancestral system" and demanded that the younger generation be "the son of heaven". It can be seen that the far-sighted Emperor Kangxi not only regarded riding and shooting as an important way to exercise his body and temper his will, but also as a necessary condition to strengthen his national strength and maintain the rule of the Manchu Dynasty. & gt Emperor Qianlong inherited his grandfather's tradition of riding and shooting. Gan Long likes to cruise hunting since he was a child, and is famous for his "good shooting" in history. He was strong, hit the nail on the head and lived to be 89 years old. Emperor Qianlong often filmed outside the palace gate after receiving military attache in summer, and went to the fortress in autumn. When shooting, the rate is three times, three arrows each time, one more shot each time, and nine arrows can be six or seven shots. In October this year, I shot nine arrows and nine shots by mistake in front of the west gate. Qian Lu was surprised by something different, so I presented a book "The Story of Divine Shooting" and lamented that "the sacred art is excellent" and so on. & gt& gt Emperor Qianlong not only strengthened physical exercise, but also had a variety of hobbies and a rich spiritual life, which is in line with the truth that "seven emotions (joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and shock) are better than taking medicine". According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong liked listening to songs and often asked musicians to change new songs for him. The so-called "Song of the Moon, Sunny bloom" shows that he knows the relationship between music and health. & gt Emperor Qianlong also likes to write poems and loves calligraphy. Emperor Qianlong traveled around famous mountains and rivers all his life, writing poems everywhere and writing poems all his life. 630 songs, the number of which is unparalleled in the history of China. Poetry can express ambition and cultivate people's temperament, which is also an experience of "focusing on self-cultivation"; Gan Long writes wherever he goes, and his ink is everywhere. This is probably one of the reasons for his long and healthy life. Because writing requires "no emotion, no gain or loss, no honor or disgrace, calm mind and calm mind", you inadvertently achieve the purpose of calming your mind, relaxing your qi, strengthening your brain and pulse, promoting blood circulation and strengthening your bones, and calming your nerves, which can be described as a way to maintain health at one stroke. & gt Emperor Qianlong, when summing up his health-preserving experience, thought that "frugality is a good way to cure diseases". "Mortal diet, etc. When you choose something that suits your body, you shouldn't eat more good things. " He also said, "The elderly should have a light diet, and each vegetable is less sick, which is good for their health. So farmers are strong and healthy until they are old. These views deserve people's attention today. & gt In addition, since ancient times, emperors have been drinking good wine and lusting after sex, which leads to longevity decline, kidney essence loss and instability of the next yuan, so signs of aging are often seen early. Emperor Qianlong's life span reached 89 years, which was related to the control of wine color. Experts who study medical records in the Qing Dynasty believe that the longevity of Emperor Qianlong is also closely related to his daily anti-aging prescription. & gt Gan Long often takes nourishing prescriptions: Guilingji, Guilingtang, Songling Taipingchun Liquor, Chunling Yishou Medicinal Liquor, Jianpi Zishen Zhuangyuan Prescription and Secret Chuan Guben Xianfang. & gt Most of these six longevity fairy prescriptions belong to the products of invigorating spleen and kidney. For example, Guilingji prescription consists of a large number of kidney-tonifying drugs, such as ginseng, velvet antler, finch brain, medlar, cistanche deserticola, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Achyranthes bidentata, Eucommia ulmoides and so on. It is mainly used to treat muscle weakness, dizziness, night sweats, nocturnal emission, impotence, abdominal pain and other symptoms caused by yin cold. The secret recipe of Guben Xianfang consists of 465,438+0 drugs, most of which are tonics for strengthening kidney, which are slowly adjusted by pills. This prescription is composed of a large number of drugs for tonifying kidney, such as Psoralea corylifolia, swim bladder, donkey kidney, velvet antler, yellow dog kidney, Alpinia oxyphylla and so on, so it is named "Guben", and those who are "Guben" are also called "Bushen". This is because the kidney is considered as the innate foundation, and the innate foundation is full, so the constitution should be healthy. & gt Jianpi Bushen Guyuan Formula is composed of Aspongopus, Eucommia ulmoides, Plantago Seed, Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, Epimedium, Fructus Lycii, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, etc. The prescription is supplemented with qi-benefiting drugs such as Rhizoma Cyperi and Radix Aucklandiae, which can not only nourish, but also avoid abdominal distension and its side effects. Aspongopus is an insect belonging to the family Bedbugs. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that this medicine can treat "deficiency of both spleen and kidney, and strengthen the yang", and the effect of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang is more obvious when combined with kidney medicine. & gt In addition to the above prescriptions, there are Changshou Guangsidan and Sanyi Shenqi Pills, all of which have the function of tonifying kidney. Bazhen ointment, Ziyin breeding pill, etc. Has the function of strengthening the spleen; Tonifying tribulus pill, Qiongyu ointment, five-system Xian Di Jingui pill, etc. Has the functions of invigorating spleen and tonifying kidney; Ginseng, astragalus ointment, bailing pill, Baoyuan Yishou pill, etc. Has the effect of invigorating qi and blood. However, some drugs will use the so-called "miracle effect can't be described" when explaining the curative effect, so it is necessary to carry out systematic medical research and a certain number of animal life experiments to confirm it, and we can't blindly believe it. & gt Emperor Qianlong never suffered from a serious illness in his life, and his last case proved this. In the fourth year of Jiaqing, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was recorded that: "The emperor's sacred pulse is peaceful, but his qi is weak and his spleen is weak, so he plans to drink Shen Lian. Ginseng is one yuan and five cents, Jianlian San Qian and Laomi are fried for one yuan and decocted in water. Two days later, on the third day of New Year's Day, Gan Long died safely. This shows that he basically tried his best and died of natural causes. & gt By studying the reasons for the longevity of Emperor Qianlong, we can see that China medicine, including the medical records of the Qing Dynasty, is a treasure house of longevity research. In the medical records of Qing Dynasty, there are many prescriptions that can prolong life, such as Huanshao Pill, Qiongyu Ointment, Qin Ge Pill, Ban Long Pill, Qibao Meizhu Pill, Shiseido Pill, Shouwu Yanshou Pill and so on. Most of them have the effects of tonifying kidney and spleen, invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation, which can not only strengthen the foundation and strengthen the yuan, but also replenish the vitality and middle qi. These are all worthy of further study and excavation. & gt In short, the emperors and empresses of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to health preservation and longevity, especially Kangxi, Qianlong and Cixi, who were "rare in the past". Most of them are well versed in the way of keeping in good health that "saints take labor as a blessing and leisure as a curse", which still has certain reference significance. & gt The author thinks that the emergence of "the prosperity of Kang and Gan" in the early Qing Dynasty was the result of their foresight and hard struggle, but it also had a great relationship with the health and longevity of the two emperors. In the 267 years after the Qing dynasty entered the customs, the "prosperous period of Kanggan" accounted for half, and only the Kanggan dynasties lasted 12 1 year. If the two of them didn't have healthy bodies and exuberant energy, and if they were both as short-lived as Shunzhi and Tongzhi, then the history of the Qing Dynasty might be different. & gt
