In my opinion, there are two reasons for Qianlong's longevity: one is that life is smooth, and the other is that he pays great attention to taking care of himself.
1, Yongzheng laid a good foundation.
Yongzheng pushed the national strength of the Qing dynasty to the highest peak with his lifelong efforts. Give the great country to Qianlong, who doesn't need any outstanding ability to govern the country. As long as there were no particularly serious mistakes, the Qing Dynasty could operate normally.
2. Smooth the upper position
In order to prevent Jiuzi from coming to power again, Yongzheng adopted the secret storage system, and Gan Long was the first lucky one. Before he succeeded to the throne, he didn't need infighting, careful calculation and much trouble. His physical and mental pleasure is naturally healthy.
3. Political success
During the Qianlong period, no serious political events occurred. Although Qianlong had to deal with state affairs every day, he didn't have as much energy as Yongzheng to deal with corruption and bribery of officials and small rebellion of foreign tribes.
1, combine work and rest, pay attention to exercise
Unlike his father Yongzheng, Qianlong stayed in the palace all day to deal with state affairs and neglected to exercise. In addition to exercising regularly since childhood, Ganlong also visited Wutai Mountain three times, climbed Mount Tai three times, toured the south four times and visited Wutai Mountain seven times, which not only exercised himself, but also met his needs of enjoying everywhere.
2. Strong self-discipline
Although Qianlong is romantic by nature, he will not indulge himself too much. In the face of fair-weather beauty, Qianlong will restrain himself, taste it and not lose control. What's more, when the ancient emperor made love, there would be eunuchs to time him. With the self-control of Qianlong and external supervision, Qianlong will not indulge himself.
These are just some reasons for Qianlong's longevity. Generally speaking, it is not surprising that Qianlong will live longer, but it is strange that Qianlong will not live longer.
Qianlong was the fourth emperor to enter the customs in Qing Dynasty. He reigned for 60 years and lived 89 years. He is the second longest-serving and oldest emperor in history.
▲ Qianlong and Empress
Gan Long leads a romantic life. He visited Jiangnan six times. In addition to dealing with official business, he just picks up girls. It can be said that the red flag in the palace does not fall, and the colorful flags outside the palace are fluttering. For example, after six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, Xia met in Daming Lake, Jinan, and staged a love of life and death, which led to the emergence of the TV series "Princess Huanzhu".
There are 4 1 concubines recorded in Qianlong's life, and there are countless concubines without first names and surnames. There are not a few people who associate with folk women when traveling incognito. The question is, why can romantic Qianlong live longer? As we all know, color is a steel knife for scraping bones, and even the best man's lust will be hollowed out by women. For example, Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to Cixi, had many beautiful concubines. Regardless of the consequences, they ate aphrodisiac, drank deer blood and ate bear whip for passion, all of which were aphrodisiacs, and finally died at the age of 365,438+0.
And Ximen Qing, who used aphrodisiac as food, finally died of exhaustion on women. Gan Long is smarter than these people. He doesn't give women aphrodisiacs. He has an effective regimen.
▲ Ganlong Town
Speaking of Qianlong's regimen, he was actually inspired by his courtier Ji Xiaolan. Ji Xiaolan likes to do three things in his life-smoking, eating meat and playing with women.
Ji Xiaolan is famous for his love of meat. No one sacrificed meat with white water and salt in Qing Dynasty. Everyone knows that Ji Xiaolan loves meat, and all these unpalatable meats belong to Ji Xiaolan. According to historical records, Ji Xiaolan can go without food for a day, but he must eat meat. After eating meat, he must play with women. It is said that he comes once every morning, noon and evening. If you don't get close to a woman after eating meat, your skin will crack and your eyes will burn. My cheeks are like fire. It is said that Ji Xiaolan was very romantic, but he lived for a long time, at the age of 82.
Gan Long witnessed Ji Xiaolan's romantic life with his own eyes, and summed it up from him: "Women are like the sea, they can carry a boat or capsize it. Some women are like drugs. If they are used well, they can prolong life. If they are not used well, they are poison. Controlling women depends on personal understanding. Ji Xiaolan has her own unique way of controlling women. Isn't it Gan Long?
▲ Gan Long and Ji Xiaolan
Gan Long doesn't like meat as Ji Xiaolan does. He likes duck and bird's nest, hot noodle soup and bean products in the morning, and pays attention to lightness. There is also a scientific and reasonable diet, love to drink, but moderate.
Gan Long has no preference for food. According to Gan Long's Food Base File handed down from the Qing Dynasty, he often eats 47 kinds of staple food, 42 kinds of non-staple food hot pot, 52 kinds of vegetables and 10 kinds of soup.
According to Gan Long's notes, his eating habits coincide with the scientific diet advocated now. For example, it means "eat enough for breakfast, eat well for lunch and eat less for dinner."
Ganlong has a good eating habit. The accumulation of heat in the body is equivalent to consuming excess heat with women and running, which coincides with Ji Xiaolan's regimen. Monarchs and ministers are similar in controlling women, so they both live to their eighties.
Gan Long is the oldest emperor. Born in the fiftieth year of Kangxi (17 1 1) on August 13th, he died in the third day of the first month of the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799) at the age of 88. Qianlong was the best of the 422 emperors in China.
However, as an emperor, many women are sure. This is not only to take care of the needs of the emperor, but also to continue the royal blood. Qianlong's grandfather Kangxi had fifty-five queens and fifty-five children in his life, not including those who were lucky by accident. Yongzheng, the father of Qianlong, had thirty queens and fifteen children. Yongzheng worked hard all his life, often staying up late and exhausted. But there are still thirty queens. And what about Ganlong himself? There are forty-one queens and twenty-seven children, so the size of this harem is really not as big as Kangxi but much larger than his father Yongzheng.
Historically, Kangxi and Yongzheng were diligent representatives who often worked overtime and stayed up late. Even so, it doesn't delay their marriage. In the early years of Qianlong, he was also very diligent, but after all, he was not as good as his father and grandfather. It can be seen that in the Qing Dynasty, physical maintenance has reached a very high level, which also laid a solid foundation for Qianlong's longevity.
(1) good genes.
Kangxi lived to be 69 years old and Yongzheng lived to be 56 years old, which was regarded as longevity among emperors. Moreover, Kangxi and Yongzheng often overworked, especially Yongzheng, who was the representative of the emperors' diligence. Such body genes are well reflected in Gan Long.
Work is not so tiring.
Kangxi and Yongzheng left a beautiful country for Qianlong. When Kangxi passed the throne to Yongzheng, its treasury was only 8 million taels of silver. After 13 years' efforts, Yongzheng filled the state treasury with 60 million taels of silver, and saved a rich family for Qianlong. Grandpa leveled the world and dad made a lot of money, so when it came to Qianlong, they were all on the right track. Just like a listed company, there are a group of competent ministers working below. As long as their ability is not too bad, this company will certainly develop well. Then Qianlong also has more time to do his favorite things, such as six trips to Jiangnan.
3 life self-discipline.
Gan Long is very self-disciplined. According to records, he smoked for many years, that is to say, he quit as soon as he said. Li Boyuan, a writer in Qing Dynasty, wrote clearly about Gan Long's quitting smoking in Notes on Nanting: "Nine times out of ten, Beijing officials and dignitaries are addicted to cigarettes, and Gan Long is particularly happy about it. As for sleeping, he can't do without it. I cough for no reason. Doctor Tai said:' The disease lies in the lungs, and the structure is not firm.' After writing a letter to the chamberlain, he never went in again, and he recovered after several illnesses. Tampa here is today's tobacco.
On the other hand, women. Qianlong has 41 empresses, but he has never had much sex. This stems from the special regulations of the Qing Dynasty: Princess Bin can't stay in the emperor's room, and the time is stipulated. The eunuch in the imperial palace sent Princess Bin to the emperor's bed and waited outside the door. At that time, she will loudly remind the emperor that it is all over. This is to protect the emperor from being murdered in his sleep. Secondly, I am afraid that the emperor's excessive sexual life will damage my health.
④ Healthy diet.
Gan Long pays attention to health and often eats only seven points full. Moreover, in the Qing dynasty, the emperor practiced a two-meal system, breakfast and Chinese food, usually from 2 pm to 3 pm. Don't we often hear the saying that "human beings can eat 9 tons of food in their lifetime, and whoever eats first will go first"? The result of overeating is a variety of diseases. Gan Long knew this for a long time. Gan Long's menu is light and balanced.
⑤ Law of life
Gan Long gets up and washes before midnight every day, that is, gets up before five o'clock in the morning, and then goes for a walk in the imperial garden, exercises and eats breakfast. Working for a few hours in the middle, of course, at that time, the government affairs were already on the track, and his work was easier and his time was more free. I started to get ready for bed at nine o'clock in the evening, and I can sleep at ten o'clock basically. Basically sleep for six and a half to seven hours every day. This sleep time is also in line with a regulation of modern medicine on adult sleep time.
When Gan Long talked about keeping in good health, he said that things should not be chaotic, and eating less and getting sick should not invade. He is also a master of emotional management. In addition, Xiao Shenyang is so good at pleasing Qianlong, happy every day, with a good attitude and a natural figure.
6. Don't eat Dan medicine indiscriminately.
In history, many emperors pursued immortality and ate pills cultivated by Taoist priests. But the emperors of the Qing dynasty didn't believe this. They only took a pill called Guilingji. It is the imperial holy medicine of the 18th emperors in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is made of 28 kinds of precious medicinal materials, such as ginseng, velvet antler, hippocampus and Cynomorium songaricum, after 998 1 day. First, it can soothe the nerves, second, it can strengthen the body, and third, it is conducive to fertility. Don't take other messy pills.
Generally speaking, Qianlong is not only the longest-lived emperor, but also the luckiest emperor. I have been disease-free all my life, with a lot of money and good ability. There is also a small Shenyang dedicated to pleasing him. However, Qianlong also exhausted the fate of the Qing Dynasty. Forty years after his death, the British came in, failed in the first Opium War and signed the first unequal treaty "treaty of nanking" in the history of China. From then on, it got worse every year. 19 12 In February, the Qing Dynasty issued the abdication edict, ending its 276-year rule.
Gan Long himself paid great attention to self-cultivation. As we know, many people became emperors in history, and once they became addicted, they always wanted to be emperors. In order to seek the secret of longevity, they made an alchemy and took medicine, seeking Buddha and Tao. There are not a few people who commit suicide for this. However, Qianlong did not follow their old path. He doesn't believe in longevity, but he actively lays the foundation for longevity. Gan Long has his own regimen. His hobbies are quite extensive, such as traveling, calligraphy, regular diet, more vegetables and less meat, drinking tea and not smoking. All these are the secrets of keeping him healthy. According to his own experience, he also summed up four secrets of health preservation: breathing attentively, exercising bones and muscles, ten regular and four noes, and timely tonic. Experts in medical case study in Qing dynasty believe that there are three main reasons for Qianlong's longevity: first, he pays attention to physical exercise, likes hunting and travels to famous mountains and rivers; Second, the law of life, frugal diet, cautious life; The third is to take longevity drugs for a long time. In addition, Gan Long's mother, Nukelu, is also a famous long-lived old lady. Genetic estimation also plays a great role. In fact, as long as you can do the following, the longevity of romantic men is not a problem:
Kong Ziyun: Eating color also. Romantic nature is not necessarily short-lived, but depends on innate ability and acquired exercise.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong's "Bao Puzi" recorded that "the Yellow Emperor ruled 3,000 women" and realized the soaring in the daytime; The Book of Rites records that in the Zhou Dynasty, "the emperor had six palaces, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven women and eighty-one wives" and regarded it as a standard. This shows that women's color and life span do not conflict. As long as "take it wisely and use it wisely", women's colors will also contribute to health and longevity.
Emperor Qianlong was famous for his romance. Seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six hospitals are the standard, and dozens of children have been born, which shows that Qianlong is full of energy. According to folklore, Emperor Qianlong also liked to visit Jiangnan incognito, travel around and have an affair. Xiao Shenyang is particularly good at buttering up Ganlong. He knows Ganlong's hobby and collects beautiful women for Ganlong.
In history, many emperors were hollowed out by beauty and died young, but Qianlong lived until he was 89 years old and didn't get any serious illness. Even in modern times, he lived a long life, not to mention in ancient times when the average life expectancy was very short.
Why can you live long? I think there are four main reasons:
1, congenital genetic factor. Qianlong's father Yongzheng did not live long, but his biological mother lived 84 years old, which is extremely rare in the case that the life expectancy of ancient royal women was generally short. In addition, Qianlong's grandfather Kangxi lived to 68 years old, nearly 70 years old. We know that physiological inheritance has two characteristics, one is atavism, that is, grandpa is easy to pass on to his grandson; One is heterosexual inheritance, that is, sons are easy to inherit from their mothers. Gan Long's grandfather and mother lived a long life, which benefited Gan Long a lot.
2, acquired exercise factors. Gan Long has a wide range of hobbies. He grew up with both civil and military skills. Besides being smart and loving reading, he also likes riding horses and archery. His martial arts are outstanding among many princes. After becoming emperor, Qianlong often organized hunting activities. He also likes to travel around and is not afraid of wading through mountains and rivers. This experience also exercised his strong physique. Although Emperor Qianlong was romantic and affectionate, his body was strong enough that he would not feel hollowed out due to kidney deficiency.
3. Pay attention to health care. He is very concerned about his work. He never believed in the elixir of life, and rarely indulged his desires too much. He doesn't drink much, is less angry and overeats. Even in the face of delicacies, Manchu and Han banquets never overeat nutrition. As an emperor, no one dares to let Gan Long work overtime, so he can go to bed early and get up early, and his life is very regular, which is conducive to health and longevity.
4. Just in time. Gan Long lived in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, which coincided with the famous "Kanggan Prosperity". In fact, Yongzheng and Kangxi contributed the most and laid a good foundation for Qianlong. During the Qianlong period, the international and domestic situation was relatively stable, with few major events, important events and troubles. Ganlong's mental stress is not great, and he just wants to have fun, which naturally contributes to his health and longevity. It can be said that Qianlong caught up with a good opportunity.
Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne in 1736, abdicated in 1795, and then served as the emperor's father for three years. He died in 1799 at the age of 89. He is the longest-lived emperor in the history of China.
During his 60 years in office, he had 29 concubines, second only to his grandfather Kangxi the Great in history of qing dynasty, so Qianlong was a romantic emperor.
The ancients said that "it is important to hurt the body." Why did the benevolent Qianlong set a record for the longevity of the emperor? I think there are four reasons:
Kangxi's grandfather (1654- 1722, at the age of 68) and Qianlong's mother, Empress Xiao Shengxian (1692- 1777, at the age of 86) are both long-lived people. Naturally, as a descendant, Qianlong also has excellent longevity genes.
Gan Long visited Jiangnan six times in his life and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan. Although he was criticized by later generations for spending money lavishly, it undoubtedly made his father happy, and his mood was also an important factor affecting the length of his life.
Gan Long believed deeply in his grandfather Kangxi and abided by the ancestral system of "Mulan seeking immortality". Hunting on horseback is undoubtedly a kind of fitness exercise.
The phrase "life lies in exercise" is true at any time, and people who insist on exercise for a long time will naturally live a long life.
Gan Long doesn't overdraw his body prematurely like his father Yongzheng, but he always works regularly, goes to bed early and gets up early every day, eats without talking, and knows moderation.
It is precisely because of the above points that Gan Long achieved the goal of "having both fish and bear's paw", with a beautiful woman in his arms and a long life, which is unique among China emperors.
But when it comes to romance, Emperor Qianlong thinks twice, and no one dares to think first. Giving birth to a child at the age of 60 can really be called "being old and strong." But he lived to be 89 years old, which is a long life today. What is the secret of his longevity?
This reminds me of another person-Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang can really be called eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking. "There are five poisons." But in this way, his old man also lived 10 1 year. The secret of Zhang Xueliang's longevity is optimism. He once said that he never knows sadness, has a very good attitude and cheerful personality, and never affects himself because of troubles. He once joked, "Even if you shoot me the next day, I can sleep comfortably at night." This kind of philosophical attitude, which is not happy with things or sad for oneself, is what I call the secret of longevity.
Therefore, we know from this that being optimistic and cheerful, in a good mood, is naturally better. Many elderly people with good physique around me are also in a very good mood. The secret of longevity is the same for Qianlong. He must be a philosophical person and not tired of things.
Besides, there are many secrets of longevity. According to records, Gan Long often hunts, and he is a person who loves sports. Exercise can keep fit and cure all diseases, which is one of them. Secondly, disaster comes from the mouth, and diet is also very important. Gan Long paid great attention to diet, dietary rules and nutrition collocation, and he also created delicious food, which can prolong life and be handed down. Third, reasonable living, Qianlong's life is very particular about regular work and rest, the rest, the work, the entertainment, which is also the reason for his long life.
In the history of China, there are 209 emperors with exact dates of birth and death. The average life expectancy of these 209 emperors is only 39.2 years. Although in our normal impression, the emperor can enjoy the best quality of life, but in terms of this life, the emperor is definitely a short-lived career. Many people attribute the emperor's short life to his dissolute harem life, but Emperor Qianlong lived to 89 years old, the oldest emperor with an exact date of birth and death. Even in modern times, he is an old man, but he has 4 1 concubine and is still giving birth to a son in his sixties. It seems a little unreasonable that he can live to be 89. In fact, there were not a few emperors who indulged in death in ancient times. Of course, there are emperors who are busy with government affairs and are exhausted, such as his father Yong Zhengdi. So, in fact, the ancient emperor was really a chore. Officials in the world can slack off in handling government affairs and governing the country, but the emperor can't slack off. Who let the whole world belong to the emperor? Perhaps a little slack, Jiangshan lost, and the same is true for the family. The people do not have much influence. However, in the feudal era, the country was difficult to stabilize and had to deal with the harem. Although collateral children can also be found to inherit the throne, they usually have no good end, such as the late Qing Dynasty, so this is only an extraordinary period under extreme measures. The short life of ancient emperors was actually caused by many factors.
Emperor Qianlong's longevity, we can only roughly analyze the reasons, because there are many factors leading to longevity, including external reasons and genetic reasons. The average life expectancy of emperors in the Qing Dynasty 12 was 52.8 years, which was relatively long. This is the internal cause. Compared with other emperors in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong was the happiest one because he had a very capable father and left himself a lot of money. As Ma Yun said, standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly. Of course, Emperor Qianlong was also in power, but because of his parents' legacy, he could save a lot of troubles. Plus his father, Yong Zhengdi, struggled for more than ten years before he ascended the throne, but when Qianlong ascended the throne, Yongzheng had cleared all obstacles for him, so he didn't have to work hard on it, which was inevitably related to Qianlong's longevity. When everything goes well and he is in a good mood, people will be much healthier.
In the life of the harem, the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty is very different from that of other dynasties. The most special thing is that the imperial concubine can't spend the night, and the time is limited when carrying on the family line. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to have too much sex. Even if the time is limited every day, it may be romantic, but if there is a respectful room management, it will not hurt the body. In addition, the emperor usually uses deer blood to supplement energy, so it won't hurt him. In addition, there are actually many recipes handed down by Emperor Qianlong, which is said to be his regimen. Although it is not true or false, it is certain that he attaches great importance to keeping in good health through medicated diet and food. Besides, there are so many imperial doctors in the palace, and many of them have real talents and practical learning. This group of people naturally have the ability to help Emperor Qianlong prolong his life.
Therefore, I think many factors contributed to the longevity of Emperor Qianlong, including genetic reasons, reasons that domestic and foreign affairs do not need to worry too much, and of course, institutional requirements, which also have a certain relationship with the health care he has always insisted on.
Li Hong, the emperor of Qianlong, died at the age of 89. He was the oldest emperor in the history of China. As we all know, Qianlong was a romantic emperor who indulged in debauchery. He has not only three palaces and six courtyards, but also beautiful women in the palace. Several trips to the south of the Yangtze River have left countless romantic historical legends. The romantic legend with ChristianRandPhillips in his later years made later generations appreciate his charm. People often say that wine is intestinal poison and color is a steel knife for scraping bones. So, why can you live long?
At that time, research experts in the Qing Dynasty believed that the reason why Emperor Qianlong lived a long and healthy life could not be separated from the following reasons:
Genetically speaking, Emperor Qianlong's mother, Empress Xiao Shengxian, lived for 85 years, ranking first among the Empresses of the Qing Dynasty and very rare among the Empresses of China.
Compared with other emperors, Qianlong was very happy. Not only did he not experience a cruel power struggle, but with the painstaking efforts of his parents, by the time he ascended the throne, the world was stable and most people had no worries about food and clothing. Compared with other emperors, he was much more relaxed, did not need to be too tired, and could govern the country step by step.
Gan Long pays attention to health, has very good living habits, has a regular diet, diversified food, gets enough sleep and rarely stays up late. He smoked when he was young, and then he stopped coughing when he felt uncomfortable, which shows that he attaches importance to his health. Many emperors in history, after being in power for a period of time, were obsessed with the throne of power, hoping that they would live forever and sit in the world all the time. So they took medicine for the alchemist and prayed for Buddhism and Taoism. Qianlong's father, Yongzheng, also believed in elixir, but Qianlong didn't believe it and never took medicine indiscriminately. After all, it is a three-point poison. Eating right is good, eating wrong is harmful to health.
Women are medicine. If used properly, they will prolong their life. If used improperly, they are poisons. Controlling women depends entirely on personal understanding. This sentence is well understood by Qianlong. He has been a romantic all his life, but he is not an over-indulgent and unrestrained person. Moreover, the Qing dynasty stipulated that concubines were not allowed to spend the night, and they were taken care of in a respectful room, strictly putting an end to temptation. As the king of a country, he has strong economic security, diverse diet and rich nutrition, and then supplements his energy with supplements such as velvet antler and ginseng. This will not harm the body, but will live longer because of physical and mental pleasure.
Gan Long practiced wrestling, horseback riding and archery since childhood, and often went out hunting, which made him strong. He is versatile, loves calligraphy and poetry, and has visited Jiangnan six times. He eats and drinks, and is surrounded by beautiful women. What a happy thing. The so-called happy people who laugh for ten years are naturally healthy. When he is healthy, he will naturally live longer.
