As a generation of emperors who built military campaigns and worked hard for political stability and economic development, where did Emperor Qianlong's strong body come from? On the one hand, he loves sports. According to historical records, he is good at shooting. He once showed his archery in front of princes and ministers, but he could shoot nine times. In addition to being good at bending bows and practicing martial arts, I am also keen on bathing in Tangquan. On the other hand, it is the miraculous effect of the anti-aging prescription prepared by the court physician.
According to historical records, there are more than five or six prescriptions in Ganlong Changfu, including Guilingji, the secret recipe of strengthening spleen and kidney, Zhuangyuan recipe, Guiling wine, Songling Taiping Chun wine and Chunling Yishou wine.
Guilingji is composed of drugs for tonifying kidney and strengthening yang. Strict material selection and fine production. It has a miraculous effect on treating yang deficiency in the elderly. Gan Long loves this medicine very much, and often sends a message to ask how much Gui Lingji, the head of imperial medicine in the palace, has left, and he has to personally ask about the prescription preparation and related matters.
"Mishou Guben Xianfang" is a pill made of various drugs. The so-called "consolidating the foundation" is actually tonifying the kidney. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the innate foundation, and the innate foundation is full and healthy.
"Jianpi Gushen Zhuangyuan Formula" not only achieved the nourishing effect, but also played a role in strengthening the spleen.
The formula of "Guiling Wine" corresponds to Guiling set, and it is also a good product for tonifying kidney and strengthening yang.
"Songling Taiping Spring Wine" is named after Songling, which means that people live as long as pines and cypresses. This kind of wine was brewed during Yongzheng period, and it is a nourishing medicinal liquor that Qianlong likes to drink very much.
Toona sinensis mentioned in Longevity Toona sinensis Wine comes from Zhuangzi. "In ancient times, there was a big eucalyptus tree, which was eight thousand years old for spring and eight thousand years old for autumn." Therefore, the age of Toona sinensis means "endless life". This wine has the effects of relaxing muscles and tendons, promoting blood circulation, relaxing bowels, clearing away heat and stopping bleeding.
In the longevity prescription of Emperor Qianlong, wine accounts for half, so it is very important to tonify deficiency and prolong life after taking medicine, which is a major feature of court health care drugs. Later, the night branch wine that Empress Dowager Cixi often drank was a tonic wine for health and longevity. Emperor Guangxu, who is weak, often drinks a glass of wine before meals. In addition, the rationalization of the court diet structure is also the key to ensure the longevity of the Qing emperor. According to historical records, Empress Dowager Cixi's diet needs "one pig, one sheep, one chicken, one duck, two liters of new japonica rice, five liters of old yellow rice, three liters of Korean rice, three kilograms of japonica rice powder, fifteen kilograms of white flour, one kilogram of buckwheat noodles, one kilogram of three-fold peas, one kilogram of sesame seeds, two kilograms of white sugar, eight ounces of molasses and walnuts." One kilogram of powder pot residue, two kilograms of sweet sauce, two ounces of clear sauce, five ounces of vinegar, fifteen kilograms of fresh vegetables, twenty eggplants and twenty cucumbers ... "Empress, imperial concubine, concubine, constant, infinite and prince Fujin have all decreased to varying degrees.
Such extravagance and waste is enough to surprise people today, but a balanced nutritional mix is still worth learning today. For example, honey, walnut kernel, pine nuts, medlar, sun-dried jujube, sesame oil and other traditional foods in China are all anti-aging drugs that Chinese medicine attaches great importance to.
Honey contains nearly 47 trace elements and many kinds of protein. Long-term use can "force Homo sapiens to keep fit, not hungry and not old". Since ancient times, many people in the east and west have lived for more than 100 years because of eating honey for a long time. So its magical effect has long been recognized by human beings.
Walnut kernel is a traditional tonic and anti-aging drug. Modern medicine shows that walnut kernel may affect the synthesis, oxidation and excretion of cholesterol in the body.
Pine nuts are best matched with sea pine nuts. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Xun recorded that "governing all winds, warming the stomach, and prolonging life after long service."
Lycium barbarum is also a traditional anti-aging drug recognized by Chinese medicine. Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote in the poem "Lycium barbarum Well": "The monk's prescription medicine tree depends on the cold well, and the well has a clear spring medicine spirit." Cui Daiye is not worried about the cage, and the deep red son is as ripe as a copper bottle. Branches are immortal sticks, and roots can always be shaped like Swiss dogs. The top grade is functional and sweet, and there is still a spoonful to prolong the age. "
Sun-dried dates are made of the best dates. Jujube is rich in protein, vitamins and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus and iron, which can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, especially enhance muscle strength and protect the liver.
Sesame oil is extracted from sesame seeds, with pure fragrance and no impurities. Sesame contains a lot of acids and vitamins. Chinese medicine believes that it can tonify the kidney and liver, moisten the five internal organs, nourish blood and moisten dryness, and make the stool smooth.
These six kinds of food are an indispensable part of the harem food in Qing Dynasty. They are used as ingredients in dishes or eaten alone. They are not only delicious, but also have obvious efficacy and have the effect of food tonic.
