If I were to ask you a question now, would you like to live in ancient times? For the pressure of various lives in today's society, perhaps a few people still want to experience the leisurely life of the ancients, after all, real life is too tired, for most people, should refuse to return to ancient times, after all, the ancient living conditions can not be compared with the present, and it is difficult for people to adapt to ancient life now, after all, there is no Internet, no convenient transportation, etc.
In ancient China, there were basically three hierarchical societies, namely lower society, middle society, and upper society, and three different levels of society represented three types of people. The lower class society is the most ordinary people, and their status is humble and low, and their lives are also miserable. Middle-class society refers to people with a certain status, like some local small officials, rich second generation, etc., to solve the problem of food and clothing, sometimes you can also open a small stove is no problem.
The upper class society is mainly high-ranking officials and nobles, imperial relatives and state relatives, are a group of people who are both rich and powerful, eating big fish and meat all day long, and living a leisurely and elegant life. Above them, there is also a supreme emperor of the Ninety-Five-Year Plan, who can be described as a high society in high society, living in a palatial palace, tasting fine wine and food, often accompanied by beautiful women, and enjoying the best medical team. With all this quality of life and the best medical treatment, why did the ancient emperors not live long? Or how hard and tired the ancient emperors really were!
Many people are curious about why the life expectancy of the ancients is very short, basically they died in their forties, except for the Qianlong Emperor, although he lived to be eighty-nine years old, but many emperors died early in middle age. Now people are different, and it is normal to live to seven or eighty. In ancient China, if some people who lived in hardship died at the age of thirty or forty, it was understandable, after all, there was no money to go to the doctor, and the living environment was harsh. But for an emperor, having a superior standard of living, the best medical conditions, but can not live a long life, can only show that the emperor is really tired.
The reason why the emperor's life expectancy is short, psychological pressure and mental pressure can not escape the blame. During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui's son was to compete for the throne, which led to his younger brother Yang Guang killing his brother; the Southern and Northern Dynasties were periods, liu Ziye, who was the crown prince, only had a ten-year-old brother, and there were many such incidents, so the struggle for the heir to the throne was undoubtedly a bloody war, and every dynasty would have a prince assassinated.
Even if you are on the throne of supremacy, you cannot avoid being killed. Just as the so-called: "open guns are easy to hide from dark arrows are difficult to defend", many times it seems that the emperor lives in the heavily guarded palace, which is taken care of and protected by many people, and often the danger is around him, like many costume dramas, the maid adds toxic substances to the emperor's tea, pastries and other foods, or the wife who sleeps in the same bed, giving him a strange poisonous incense, may endanger his life. In the face of such a potential danger, the emperor was worried every day, and the people around him did not dare to believe it easily, not even a person who spoke from his heart, how could the mental pressure not be great.
In ancient times, the emperor was not only under great psychological pressure and mental pressure, but also had to bear the fatigue of the body, after all, he was a person who was worried about the major affairs of the country. According to the historical records, the emperor got up in the morning before dawn, and sometimes before he could eat breakfast, he had to go to the early dynasty, listening to all kinds of remarks and arguing endlessly, and listening to it was several hours. After the end of the early dynasty, it was necessary to start correcting the music of the ministers, and it was really exhausting all day long. As an emperor, he could let his subordinates help him share the work, but he did not want to hand over the power, so he had to do it himself, and in the end he only rested for four or five hours a day.
Not only did the emperor's exhaustion at work continue to destroy his lifespan, but the various battles of the harem concubines also made the emperor even more tired. After dealing with the major affairs of the country every day, it is also necessary to deal with the unnecessary trifles of the harem. As we all know, the harem is a place where every dynasty cannot be stable, so the emperor in order to balance the favor of the harem concubines, but also consider the rain and dew of the harem, in order to continue the royal fireworks, even if the body is very tired or the state is very bad, but also have sex with the concubine, so the emperor's life expectancy is more or less destroyed by beauty.
