It is said that Jiang Taigong lived 139 years old. If this is true, what is the concept of such a long life in ancient times?
We all know that ancient medical methods were underdeveloped and people's awareness of health preservation was not prominent, so many ancient people lived to 70 years old, which is already a very special existence, and they can live to 1 39 years old. In ancient times, it was estimated that they really existed like gods. And even in modern times, it is very special to live to 139.
Due to the influence of ancient environment and objective conditions, the age of ancient people is very short for modern people. However, it is very unusual that ancient people actually care more about life span than modern people, especially ancient kings. In order to prolong life or blindly pursue immortality, they even sent troops to slaughter rare beasts, and even risked swallowing gold or "poison" pills developed by Taoist doctors and charlatans.
Unfortunately, after all, ancient superstition prevailed and science was underdeveloped, so it was difficult to prolong life reasonably and effectively. However, there are still some methods, especially the Taoist way of keeping in good health.
Jiang Taigong is a pure Taoist figure, and he is also better at keeping in good health. According to legend, he once created a medicinal food called "Taigong Braised Chicken", and because of this food, his soldiers were more brave, strong and energetic. However, soldiers are very energy-consuming people after all, and it is difficult to estimate the length of their life. But as their leader, they can also prolong their life through reasonable health care.
Looking at Taoist historical figures, besides Jiang Taigong, there are many people who live long. Of course, many people are deliberately mythologized and exaggerated, but in general, the Taoist way of keeping in good health is worth popularizing and learning, especially in the modern society where various invisible pressures are pouring in. If you don't learn the way of keeping in good health, anyone may go bald or bald in advance, even after 1990.
