Although most of us are descendants of the Yanhuang people and Han people, another Manchu emperor is respected by everyone as "one emperor through the ages." She is Aisin Gioro Xuanye, the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi, whose capital was Beijing, was named Kangxi. The Mongolian word for Kangxi means peace and tranquility. It is true that Kangxi was registered at the age of 8 and took office at the age of 14. He reigned for 61 years and was the longest emperor in Chinese history. He defeated Ao when he was young. Bye, when he became an adult, he pacified the barbarians, conquered Taiwan, personally conquered Galdan, fought against Tsarist Russia, signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk, and truly gave the Qing Dynasty a truly peaceful and prosperous age!
So why did Emperor Kangxi live so long? The reason lies in his diet. Everyone may know that the diet of an emperor is extremely luxurious. Yes, there are indeed delicacies from mountains and seas. For example, Cixi always likes to eat Manchu and Han banquets. It is extravagant and wasteful. The emperor's diet is very strict. Before the meal is served, the eunuch must taste it to see if it is poisonous or stale. Only when the eunuchs had nothing to do with them could the emperor eat them with confidence.
Emperor Kangxi had very good eating habits. He liked to eat two meals. Now most people eat three meals, which is actually a bit too much. The intervals between the three meals are short, dinner and breakfast the next day. A long interval is not very good for the body. The best diet is to eat two meals. Moreover, Emperor Kangxi emphasized one meal and one taste, which meant that it was best to eat only one thing in one meal. When eating chicken, only eat chicken, and when eating sheep, only eat sheep. Such eating habits are also the secret of Emperor Kangxi's longevity.
As for the weird rules in ancient times, generally everyone is interested in sleeping in the harem. It is true that there are many rules in the harem, and many of them are very weird. For example, a sheep is used to choose which concubine will sleep with you. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, you can only sleep with the queen. The concubine who sleeps with you needs to be naked and wrapped in a quilt and carried by the eunuch to the emperor's house, etc.
