Immortality is the lifelong pursuit of ancient emperors. Even Qin Shihuang was no exception. After the unification of the six countries, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng was no longer satisfied with occupying land, but instead pursued the mystery of life, in an attempt to live forever and be the same age as heaven and earth. Of course, this is absolutely impossible, even in today's technologically advanced era, it is impossible to live forever. In order to find the secret of immortality as soon as possible, Qin Shihuang ordered Xu Fu, the minister, to go to the East to find the mystery of life in order to refine the elixir of immortality. Chuifu saw that the first emperor was obsessed with the secret of immortality, so he defrauded 3 thousand boys and girls to build the country, and Qin Shihuang did not find the elixir of immortality, and finally regretted it.
Ming Shizong Jiajing was also an emperor obsessed with immortality. Moreover, Jiajing was a Taoist in China. He often wears Taoist robes to refine pills, always believing that he can refine the real Dan medicine. Ming Shizong also carefully selected many 13-and 14-year-old girls to enter the palace, only giving them dew all day and collecting their "sunflower water" for medicine. The "sunflower water" here is actually the eggs excreted by women. Many girls died of long-term malnutrition, and the longevity plan of Ming Shizong ended.
Facts have proved that there is no immortality in the world, and blind pursuit will only reap the consequences. During Guangxu period, there was a strange girl named Li Chengyu. Because of her poor family, Li Chengyu was sent by her father to a large family as a child bride when she was 6 years old, and didn't marry the landlord's son until 17 years old. However, the good times did not last long. Three years later, Li Chengyu contracted lung disease, and doctors in the countryside could not cure her. Just as Li Chengyu was about to give up, he heard the villagers say that Wudang Mountain had a secret recipe for treating this disease, so he came to Wudang all the way. Sure enough, the old Taoist Zhang on the mountain saved her life with Chinese herbal medicine. In order to repay his kindness, Li Chengyu decided to become a disciple of Wudang, and Li Chengyu became the 24th generation disciple of the Xuanmen Sect of Wudang Mountain.
Li Chengyu, who has experienced great changes in life and death, is more concerned about his own life. After coming to Wudang, he has been paying attention to the adjustment of body balance, so that Li Chengyu can really live a long life even if he is seriously ill. In his later years, Li Chengyu was paralyzed and unable to walk because of an accident, but even so, Li Chengyu did not degenerate and became discouraged. She turned her attention to other aspects and learned the stick method. An accident made her close a door, but she opened another window by herself.
Until the death of Dr. Li Chengyu in 2003 at the age of 1 18, it can be said that he lived a long life. People have always wondered why Li Chengyu could live so long under the condition of serious illness. In fact, besides a healthy diet, the most important thing for Li Chengyu is her optimistic attitude, which is really "eternal life".
