First of all, Summala was deeply convinced of the Mongolian belief in longevity, believing that the human body was filthy and bathing with filthy body was blasphemous. Therefore, she tries to avoid taking a bath to keep her body "pure". The power of this belief is so powerful that she always adheres to this principle in her life.
Secondly, Summala's ancient living environment also influenced her habits. On Mongolian grassland, water resources are relatively scarce, and people regard water as gold. Therefore, bathing has become a luxury. Aunt Summala lived in such an environment since childhood and knew the value of water, so she tried to reduce the number of baths to save water resources.
In addition, Summala's ancient living habits are also related to her life experience. She used to be sourdrang queen's personal maid and served the royal family all her life. In the royal family, she witnessed many political struggles and court secrets. Therefore, she may think that taking a bath will expose her body and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, she chose to avoid taking a bath to keep her mystery and sense of security.
The lifestyle of Lagu in Ma Su;
Aunt Summala has her own beliefs and lifestyle. She has never been married and has lived in the palace for more than 60 years, accompanying her master. After the death of Empress Xiaozhuangwen, she spent 18 spring and autumn in the palace. When Yin Jia grew up, she no longer needed her support, so she was completely freed and began to live a comfortable and peaceful life. In his later years, Gulu in Summala formed an indissoluble bond with Buddhism, which may be influenced by Xiao Zhuang and Shunzhi's belief in Buddhism.
However, Summala's belief in Buddhism in ancient times was obviously different from others. She is not completely out of pleasure and loneliness, nor is she praying for the Buddha to bless herself. On the contrary, she combined Buddhism with loyalty to the emperor and repaying his kindness. Chanting Buddha and scriptures is the main content of her later life. She often says from the bottom of her heart, "I would like to live a few more years and kowtow to my master to thank my slave."
Summala Gulu's life has two different characteristics: one is that she doesn't take a bath all the year round, and only washes her body with a small amount of water on the last day of the year, that is, New Year's Eve, and then drinks the used dirty water. The other is that she doesn't take medicine for life, even if she is seriously ill. These two special habits in her life are clear even to an emperor who respects the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
