Why can Emperor Qianlong enjoy his old age alone? It turns out that he has a set of health secrets. According to his own personal experience, he summed up four secrets of health preservation: "Breathe with your heart, exercise your bones and muscles, often do ten things and four things without doing them, and make up in time." Among them, the "ten frequencies" are: frequent knocking on teeth, frequent swallowing of body fluids, frequent brushing of ears, frequent rubbing of nose, frequent rolling of eyes, frequent rubbing of face, frequent rubbing of feet, frequent abdominal movements, frequent stretching of limbs and frequent lifting of anus.
"Four noes" means: don't talk when eating, don't talk when lying down, don't get drunk when drinking, and don't be obsessed with color. This "ten frequencies and four taboos" fully conforms to the principle of health care. If nothing else, one word is debauchery. Ganlong is honored as the son of heaven, rich in the world, full of wine and color, and beautiful as a cloud. In this environment, it is really commendable to be able to stay away from alcohol and sex.
Gan Long studied horseback riding and archery since childhood, and once played a great role in several royal archery competitions in the summer resort. When he became emperor, he enjoyed riding horses and shooting. Until he was 80, he went to borrow money to hunt. Riding and archery, with a lot of activities, is undoubtedly a good way to exercise.
Qianlong likes to travel, and the story of "Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River" is almost a household name. He went to Jiangnan six times and Wutai Mountain three times in his life. Many famous mountains and ancient temples have left his footprints. Tourism can not only exercise, but also nourish the mood, which is a good health care measure.
Gan Long is good at reading and poetry. It is said that he wrote 1300 many compositions and 40,000 poems in his life (naturally, many of them were drafted by his deputy). Gan Longxi's calligraphy is good, the handwriting is round and beautiful, and the foundation is good. Wherever you go, you must pay attention to it. He wrote the Ten Scenes of the West Lake by himself. These hobbies are of great benefit to strengthening the brain, strengthening the body and nourishing nature.
Qianlong's daily diet is very regular. He gets up at about 6 o'clock and has breakfast after washing. Deal with government affairs in the morning, consult with ministers, and rest in the afternoon. After dinner, read a book, write a poem, and then go to bed. His diet is mainly fresh vegetables, and he eats little meat and is never full. Gan Long never smokes, but likes drinking tea. He is very particular about drinking water and uses Xishan Spring as his royal water.
Qianlong also pays attention to tonic, but it should be timely and appropriate, and can't be supplemented indiscriminately. The "Songling Liquor" and "Guilingji" used are mainly Chinese herbal medicines for invigorating spleen and kidney and invigorating qi and blood. This is also in line with medical reasons. Tonifying the kidney can nourish nature, strengthening the spleen can strengthen the day after tomorrow, the kidney is strong, the spleen and stomach are healthy, the blood is full, and the body is naturally strong.
Because of the method of keeping in good health, he was strong all his life. In his 90 s, he was still conscious and free to move. Sometimes I asked about state affairs as the emperor's father. It's really a healthy birthday girl.
