The average life span of ancient monarchs was very short, so why did they live for a long time after they were in power?
Ancient emperors called themselves "descendants of the dragon" and were called "Long live the Lord". However, according to relevant statistics, the average life expectancy of ancient emperors is only 40 years old, which is not as long as that of some civilians. Many emperors lived very short lives, but Qianlong lived to 89 years old and became one of the oldest emperors in ancient times. The following reasons make Qianlong live longer.

The first aspect is regular participation in sports. Gan Longyi likes riding, archery and practicing martial arts. By practicing martial arts, we can achieve the goal of self-cultivation and physical fitness. China traditional martial arts can make people's blood flow smoothly, dredge meridians, and play a role in prolonging life over time.

The second aspect is that Qianlong is more self-disciplined. The ancient emperors had three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines and three thousand harems, so many emperors failed to control their desires, leading to physical weakness. However, Ganlong clearly understands this. Although Ganlong's life is particularly romantic, he controls the affairs of men and women very well.

The third aspect is to have good living habits. Gan Long has developed a good habit of work and rest since he was a child. He goes to bed early and gets up early, and never stays up late and doesn't sleep, which conforms to the laws of nature. At the same time, he is also very particular about his diet. He doesn't often eat big fish, big meat and greasy things, and eats more nourishing ingredients such as ginseng and velvet antler.

Many emperors in ancient times wanted to find an elixir of life, but those emperors who looked for prescriptions did not live long. Qianlong's longevity tells us how important it is to have a good living habit, participate in more sports and have a good mood.
