Healthy lecture hall

Emperor Qianlong reigned for 60 years at the age of 89. He is one of the longest-lived emperors in the history of China. It is said that Emperor Qianlong was in good health in his later years. He never used glasses all his life. He was able to go hunting two years before his death, and he was able to write and read books shortly before his death. Of course, all this has a lot to do with his innate endowment, but good health care is also an important factor for his health and longevity. We might as well get some health enlightenment from the living habits of Qianlong.

Bow and practice martial arts

Emperor Qianlong's health and longevity are closely related to his hobbies such as bow bending and martial arts. It is said that after receiving military attaché s in summer, Emperor Qianlong often competed with them in archery, and so did he when he left the fortress in autumn. As a recreational activity, archery makes people feel comfortable, refreshed and well adjusted.

Besides archery, Emperor Qianlong also likes hunting. When hunting, walking in nature and breathing fresh air will obviously increase the oxygen intake of the human body. At the same time, the beautiful natural environment and attractive birds and flowers make people open-minded and feel comfortable, which is of great benefit to body and mind.

Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan six times in his life, Wutai Mountain in the west and Taishan Mountain in the east three times. The length of each voyage varies, mostly between several months. During the relaxing tour, he not only enjoyed the natural scenery, but also broadened his horizons, exercised his will and strengthened his physical strength, which was of great benefit to his health.

During the Qianlong period, he kept the habit of getting up early. As the history book says, "Every morning, you must carve. If it is dawn in long summer, it will be five o'clock in winter. " Good living habits played an important role in the health of Emperor Qianlong.

Poetry, painting, tea and songs

Emperor Qianlong likes to write poems, and he writes several poems every day. He often submits his poems to officials with certain literary attainments for examination. When encountering allusions, he will ask officials to explain. If the officials can't explain it at that time, they can take the poems back to their respective residences to continue their research. Emperor Qianlong did not blame those officials who never found the correct answer. It can be seen that his attainments in poetry and prose are very deep. Through poetry, I exercised my brain power and expressed my feelings. Modern research shows that the human brain has strong plasticity. As long as information is continuously input into the brain, brain cells can continue to develop and brain functions can be continuously strengthened, thus delaying the aging of the brain. Emperor Qianlong likes reading and painting in his spare time to strengthen his self-cultivation. Learning books and painting can cultivate temperament and is a good adjustment to psychology.

At the same time, finger strength, wrist strength,

The overall coordination of arm strength requires a high concentration of ideas and concepts. This not only achieves the purpose of nourishing the body, but also exercises physical strength.

Drinking tea is also the favorite of Emperor Qianlong. Studies have shown that drinking tea can reduce blood fat, clear away heat and wake up, and eliminate physical fatigue. Emperor Qianlong often enjoyed tea operas and wrote poetry couplets with ministers who were good at poetry and prose. In addition, he is also very interested in music and can use musical instruments himself. Every year, on the day of offering sacrifices to the stove, Emperor Qianlong often beat the drum board and sang "Visiting the Sage". Expressing one's feelings and cultivating one's sentiment through singing is also very helpful for health preservation.

Nourish and prolong life with drug bait

Emperor Qianlong often took more than six kinds of nourishing and longevity prescriptions, among which Guilingji and Songling Taiping Spring Wine were the most important. The turtle age set is named after the turtle age, which means that the turtle crane has a long life. Emperor Qianlong was very concerned about Guilingji. He often asks the manager, "How many turtle sets are there in the drugstore?" And every time, I personally asked about the prescription and related matters of Guilingji. As for Songling Taiping Spring Wine, it is a nourishing medicinal liquor that Emperor Qianlong likes to drink very much, which has the effects of invigorating qi, strengthening spleen, nourishing blood and activating collaterals.

Emperor Qianlong once summed up the secret of his longevity as 16, that is, "exhale and nourish the heart, exercise the bones and muscles, ten times and four times, and make up in time." The so-called "four noes at ten o'clock" means "teeth often knock, body fluid often swallows, ears often bounce, nose often rubs, eyes often move, face often rubs, feet often rubs, abdomen often applies, limbs often stretches, anus often lifts; Don't talk when eating, don't talk when lying down, don't get drunk when drinking, and don't get confused. "Because of the reasonable regimen and perseverance, Emperor Qianlong remained healthy until his later years. No wonder British Ambassador Magarini wrote in his diary: "Although he is 83 years old, he looks like a 60-year-old man, and he is full of energy and can surpass teenagers.
