If we want to say that the occupation with the heaviest responsibility, the greatest pressure and the highest risk factor in ancient times is undoubtedly the emperor. Therefore, in ancient times, although emperors had the best diet and the best medical team, their life expectancy was generally short, with an average of only 40 years. But Emperor Qianlong lived to the age of 89, the longest-lived emperor in history. What is his secret?
The average age of ancient emperors was only forty years old. Why did Ganlong live to be eighty-nine? What is the secret?
Gan Long lived for so long, first of all, because of his good attitude. We all know that no matter what we do, our mentality is very important. In history, because of too much anxiety, many people got sick and finally died of the disease. Emperor Qianlong was in a particularly good mood and was in high spirits all day. No matter what happens, he can still eat, drink and be merry as usual. This is what many people can't do.
Emperor Qianlong was good at adjusting his mental state. When he is free, he goes hunting, traveling and going out to visit the mountains in every corner. If you can't get out, you can stay in the nearby Yuanmingyuan for two days. As we all know, people who often travel in the mountains are generally more open-minded than others. It is with a good attitude that Qianlong can live longer than others.
Secondly, Emperor Qianlong often exercised. Emperor Qianlong didn't want to be like his father Yong Zhengdi. He knows that he sits in his palace reading newspapers all day. Emperor Qianlong won't. He gave many things to his courtiers, so little Shenyang can get so many benefits. So Gan Long has more time to go hunting and walking.
Also, Qianlong knows how to combine work and rest. Every once in a while, he will go out to play and swim in the mountains. Moreover, Ganlong also went to some scenic places, and he went to places as far away as Jiangnan for six times alone. The combination of work and rest is very important for people's health.
Finally, Gan Long's genes are better. Although his grandfather Kangxi was not as good as him, he lived to 69 years old. In ancient times, it was a time of longevity. His mother also lived to be 84 years old, a long time. His father, Yong Zhengdi, only lived to be 57 years old, because he was exhausted by the pressure of work, and because he took medicine indiscriminately, it would be good to live so long.
Therefore, due to these four reasons, Qianlong can live for so long. Although genes can't be decided by us, we can decide our mentality and lifestyle. It is worth learning to exercise regularly and combine work with rest.
In the history of China, more than 230 emperors lived much shorter and much longer, only Emperor Qianlong lived to be 89 years old. He experienced Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing, and enjoyed the family happiness of seven generations under one roof.
After 60 years in office, he lived to the age of 89 and tried to prolong the life of the Dragon Emperor. Why can Emperor Qianlong live a long life alone? Experts found that Emperor Qianlong had the secret of keeping in good health. At first, when he was a dragon king, he admired his grandfather Emperor Kangxi most. Emperor Kangxi ascended the pole at the age of 8 and ascended the throne at 6 1, and lived for 69 years. He was an emperor who lived for a long time in the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi divided the way of health preservation into two aspects: health preservation and health preservation. Health care refers to careful diet, quitting smoking, drinking and greed, proper exercise, diligent practice, frugal housekeeping and indifferent life. Nourishing the mind refers to the spiritual life of literature, art, morality, thought and character.
According to his own personal experience, Emperor Qianlong perfected his grandfather Kangxi's longevity experience and summed up his 16-character mantra of health preservation: "Exhale and nourish your heart, exercise your bones and muscles, ten times and four times, and make up in time." "Later generations summed up their secret as" three things to keep in good health and live to ninety-nine ".
First thing: take a deep breath. After waking up in the morning, don't get up too busy, lie still for 5 minutes, first to the left, then to the right, and finally lie on your back, stretching for three times during this period, so that the joints can be fully stretched. Then, get up immediately, stretch your arms, stand on tiptoe and take a deep breath 10 times. Then relax your muscles and adjust your breathing. Finally, go outdoors, take a deep breath, breathe out the polluted air in your body, breathe in the fresh air, let you breathe out the old air and breathe in the new air.
The second thing: look around. Stand, look straight, look east first; Then, with his head half closed, he turned to the south; Then bow your head with half closed eyes and turn to look west; Finally, with his head half closed, he turned to the north. Exercise confused eyes to ensure freshness. You can also clean your eyes with tea, which has a good eyesight improving effect.
The third thing: clean up the stool. Try to defecate once every morning, get into the habit, expel toxins from the body the day before, and keep it unobstructed all day. When defecating, it is best to recall the happiest things in the past few days, or think about the best things today and in the future. This kind of mental and emotional change is helpful to intestinal peristalsis, which can make the stool unobstructed and eliminate it as soon as possible.
Gan Long is good at reading and poetry, and has written many literary works. He compiled three sets of Kings, 1350 and more than 40,000 poems. He lives and eats regularly. Get up at about 6 o'clock every day, have breakfast after washing, handle government affairs in the morning, consult with ministers, and visit and rest in the afternoon. After dinner, I read and write, write poems, and then go to bed. He mainly eats fresh vegetables, eats little meat and is never full. He doesn't smoke, but he likes drinking tea.
Gan Long has not only good medical care, but also talented people. His talent came from his mother who died at the age of 86. Due to good health, Qianlong is nearly 90 years old, with strong body, clear mind and free movement. In the fifty-third year of Qianlong (1793), when British envoys attended the eighty-third birthday of Qianlong, the British thought that Emperor Qianlong was agile and elegant, with no signs of aging on his face, always smiling, and looked less than sixty years old.
