As we all know, China has a very large population since ancient times. After all, the development of China needs a lot of labor, especially in the era of underdeveloped ancient science and technology. Any construction and project needs to be completed by manpower. In order to increase the social labor force, many emperors will try various ways to encourage fertility, thus increasing the population. For example, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang once tried to encourage people to have children by reducing taxes and increasing taxes, and finally succeeded in increasing the population.

The average life expectancy of ancient people in China was very low.

However, although the ancient population was huge, their average life expectancy was very short, especially compared with contemporary people. After all, in ancient times, medical technology was very backward, and some minor illnesses could be fatal at that time, so the life span of the ancients was generally short. Although ancient emperors always tried their best to live forever, they could not escape a short-lived ending. According to statistics, during the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China, the average life expectancy of people was only 18 years old, and it is just an adult in contemporary times. It was only in the Qin Dynasty that the average life expectancy of people increased to 20 years.

With the continuous development of science and technology, the medical level has also improved significantly, and people's living standards and quality of life have improved a lot. So in the Republic of China thousands of years later, the average life expectancy of people reached 35 years old. Although it was improved compared with the Qin Dynasty, the speed of improvement was very slow. In the last thousand years, the average life expectancy of people has also increased by ten years.

Until the founding of New China, China quickly ushered in rapid development, and all aspects of people's lives have developed and improved by leaps and bounds. Therefore, people's average life expectancy has also greatly increased, from 35 years old in the Republic of China to 70 or 80 years old. On the land of China, there have been many centenarians, which was absolutely rare in the past.

Hunan 127 years old, 13 children live to 18.

For example, there is a centenarian named Tian in Hunan, China. She even lived to be 127 years old, and the oldest of her 13 daughters only lived to be 18 years old. It's hard to understand, but what is the secret of this 127-year-old man's longevity? People discuss it the most. Then let's talk about it together.

Tian's life can be said to be very bumpy She was born in China in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, China was at home and abroad. In this context, people's lives are very difficult. It can be said that they are in dire straits all the time, and so is the Tian family. In order to share the pressure for her young family, Tian can only herd cattle and cut pigs every day. Almost all the housework in the family is undertaken by Tian alone.

As we all know, in China's early years, people's thought was "many children are blessed". The more children, the better. It is not unusual for every family to have seven or eight children. At that time, Tian and her husband gave birth to 13 children. Unfortunately, all these 13 children were doomed to die young, and the oldest one only lived to 65438.

It is because of the adopted daughter that Tian didn't always feel lonely and desperate. On the contrary, she quickly came out of her back pain, became more open-minded and relaxed a lot about life. She didn't lose her enthusiasm for life because her children left one after another, but she loved life more. Tian has always been in good health. Even at the age of 80, she can be a nanny for others. By the time she was 100 years old, she was very energetic. When she reached the age of 122, the doctor gave her a comprehensive examination. After the examination, the doctor bluntly said that she could live for another 30 years, but the doctor's words were not fulfilled. Tian finally passed away at the age of 127, but this age is already very long.

The reason for longevity has caused a heated debate.

After learning about Tian, many people became interested in her longevity secret. Many people found Tian before she died and asked her for advice. However, Tian said that she didn't have any special methods, but she lived a simple life every day and ate light food, such as vegetables and tofu. Zhang Guiying, her adopted daughter, also revealed that her mother had no special secret of longevity. It is worth mentioning that Tian also has a younger brother and a younger sister, both of whom have entered the ranks of centenarians.

As mentioned above, in ancient China, many people already had the consciousness of wanting to live a long life. Especially for the emperor, they are eager to make the words "Long live your majesty" and "endless life" come true. Coupled with feudal superstition in ancient society, they kept looking for drugs or methods to live forever, but basically failed. Because of this, they also ignore the importance of life, which eventually leads to a very short life.

However, in ancient times, not everyone did not pay attention to the protection of life and health. For example, Hua Tuo, a famous doctor at the end of Han Dynasty, paid great attention to health preservation, and even invented Wuqinxi. However, after being suspected by Cao Cao, Hua Tuo was finally killed, but his five-animal play influenced several generations. For example, Sima Yi later liked Wuqinxi very much and practiced hard, and finally succeeded.

Health is not a matter of physical condition, but a matter of mental condition. Mrs. Eddie

In today's society, people pay more and more attention to life, especially because of this year's epidemic. Many people realize the importance of health, so many people spend a lot of money to keep healthy. But we can learn from Tian Yulong's story that the so-called secret of longevity is actually in our life. Only we have a good attitude, love life, pay more attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation, and so on. Maybe everyone will live longer. I don't know if everyone thinks so.
