Is there Peng Zu in history?
Among the legendary longevity stars in China, Peng Zu lived 800 years, making him the oldest person. Did you really live 800 years? It's hard to prove and hard to believe. However, according to the records in Guoyu and Shiji, Peng Zu really existed and was famous for his long life. Ge Hong, a medical scientist in the Jin Dynasty, also wrote a biography for Peng Zu. It is said in the book that Peng Zu lived 700 years at the end of Yin Dynasty, and the King of Yin specially asked him to introduce the way of longevity.

Peng Zu's life-prolonging regimen has the following four aspects.

First, pay attention to exercise. Get up early every morning, sit up, rub your eyes, massage, rub your lips and pharynx, stay in your abdomen and inhale for dozens of times; Then he got up, stretched himself and worked hard with luck. He was the earliest founder of Qigong, and this fitness method was written as "Peng Zu's Guidance Method" by later generations.

Second, it is ideological cultivation. He never cares about fame and wealth, does not pursue material enjoyment, and is quiet and philosophical. King Yin gave him 10,000 gold, which he used to help the poor and left nothing for himself. Get rid of the burden of "smearing Shen Xi" and always maintain a good mental state.

Third, it is living habits. He insisted on letting nature take its course without harming his health, paying attention to keeping warm in winter and enjoying the cool in summer, so as to make his body comfortable and healthy, paying attention to the combination of work and rest, avoiding excessive use of his brain, seeking suitable clothes instead of flashy clothes, and rationally adjusting the life and diet of men and women, and said, "All these things, such as water, are harmful if used excessively."
