Why did Peng Zu, 800 years old in history, live so long?
Longevity has always been a topic of great interest to the world. Now we have a land of longevity. In ancient times, many emperors were obsessed with elixir of life. For example, Qin Shihuang was fooled by Xu Fu twice because he wanted to live longer, and several emperors in the Tang Dynasty died because they wanted to live longer.

After all, people still want to live long, so the problem comes out. Are those people who live long in history true?

The famous Peng Zu lived 800 years in legend, which made the world envy him. Why did he live so long?

First of all, this historical figure is real, and Peng Zu is one of the pioneers of Taoism. But at that time, Taoism did not seem to have refined Dan medicine, and paid more attention to the way of health preservation.

Peng Zu was born in Pengshan, Sichuan, and was sealed in Xuzhou, Jiangsu. Now there are historical sites in Meishan and Xuzhou that prove that Peng Zu lived, such as Peng Zu's Tomb, Pengzu Temple, Pengzu Building and Pengzu Temple.

Not only in Meishan and Xuzhou, there are historical sites where Peng Zu lived, but also in many historical books about Peng Zu, there is no record of unofficial history. There are also related records in many official histories, such as the description in Historical Records Chu Family: "Peng Zu's family tasted as Hou Bo in Yin Dynasty, and Peng Zu's family died in the late Yin Dynasty."

Why did Peng Zu live so long? Then there are many kinds of legends, and some people say that the magic Peng Zu play is a ghost.

It is said that Peng Zu was only 60 years old, but at the age of 59, he met a friend named Yang San. They got on very well and became sworn brothers.

The man revealed that he was a ghost after drinking. Peng Zu was surprised and quickly stopped him to see how long he could live. When Yang San saw it, it was written in the book of life and death that he was 60 years old, which means that Peng Zu had only one year's life.

Yang San moved with compassion and tore up Peng Zu's page. From then on, no ghost took Peng Zu's life. He also lived almost 800 years old and married many wives, not his playboy. These women won't live for hundreds of years.

He didn't die until he proudly revealed the secret to another new wife. It turns out that this wife was sent by Yan to get information. After learning the truth, she fabricated this page and then took Peng Zu's life.

If you don't die, you should keep a low profile.

Of course, these stories must be fictional, so what is the real situation?

It turns out that there is a method of "dating a little flower in rural Sichuan", and 60 days is a year. According to this calculation, Peng Zu will probably live to be 1 30 years old, but this method is very long-lived both in ancient times and in modern times.

So what is the secret of Peng Zu's longevity?

According to records, Peng Zu is a gourmet. Qu Yuan said in Tian Wen: "What does Peng Keng like about Emperor Luo", which means that even the emperor loves his wild chicken soup, and his cooking is delicious. He will make some delicious and healthy food for himself.

Peng Zu didn't like being an official, and Zhou Muwang's proposal to be a doctor was rejected. He is a man who doesn't like being bound.

Peng Zu has always been called the originator of Qigong master. It is not surprising that such a person who is proficient in diet and health care and indifferent to fame and fortune can live a long life in the end.
