In Chinese history, there have been 83 dynasties with a total of 559 emperors.
There are many people, but not many people live long.
01
Emperor Kiyoko loves Shin Kyora. Hongli, known as the Qianlong Emperor.
The Qianlong Emperor was born in the fiftieth year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty (1711 AD) and died in the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799) at the age of eighty-nine.
02
Sima Qian recorded in the "Records of History": "Yao Li was seventy and had Shun, and twenty and old... Twenty-eight years after the throne collapsed..."
It means that Di Yao met Shun when he was seventy years old, began to grow old twenty years later, passed the throne to Shun twenty-eight years later, and died at the age of one hundred and eighteen (one hundred and sixty-three years old).
The record of Emperor Shun is even more detailed: "Shun's twenty years of filial piety... In the year 61, Yao practiced the throne, and after thirty-nine years of the reign of the emperor, he hunted in the south and collapsed in the wilderness of Cangwu. ”
That is to say, Emperor Shun just lived a hundred years.
03
Sima Qian's rigorous style of study, which is upright and upright, has always been respected by literary historians.
However, Sima Qian was, after all, a special figure living in the feudal era, and his writings were inevitably influenced by the rulers of the dynasty or influenced by historical limitations.
Sima Qian made many exaggerated beautifications of many emperors.
As recorded in the Yin Benji: "Yin Qi, the mother is Jian Di ... The threesome bathed and saw the bird fall into its eggs, and Jane swallowed it, because of the pregnancy. ”
These words sound unbelievable to modern people with a little brain.
Therefore, the credibility of Sima Qian's record of the age of the emperor is not very high, and some of his mysterious words are more like legends or myths.

There is also a historical figure worth playing in the records of the Gaoshou Emperor, who is prince Of Song Kang, the ruler of the Song State in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
Zi Yan was the thirty-fourth monarch of the Song Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period.
In 329 BC, Zi Yan launched a military coup d'état, expelling his elder brother Zi Cheng and seizing the position of monarch.
In 318 BC, during his eleventh reign, Zi Yan claimed the title of king without authorization.
In 286 BC, under the attack of the combined forces of Qi, Wei and Chu, Guo was killed.
The history books do not record the age of His Excellency Ziyan, but according to some figures recorded in history, the author has the courage to calculate at the level of failing primary school arithmetic.
Zi Yan reigned for forty-seven years, and his brother Chengcheng reigned for forty-one years.
The prerequisite for the son to ascend to the throne was the death of his two brothers' father.
That is to say, Zi Yan could not have been born in these forty-one years, and Zi Peibing could only cooperate with his wife before his death to bring His Excellency Zi Yan to the world.
Forty-seven plus forty-one equals eighty-eight, and from this equation the following conclusion is drawn: The age of the son is at least eighty-eight.
05
There is also an emperor who can be called the champion of longevity.
This person was Zhao Tuo, the Emperor of South Vietnam during the Western Han Dynasty.
Zhao Tuo was born in the seventh year of the reign of the Qin Dynasty (240 BC) and died in the fourth year of the Reign of Emperor Jianyuan of the Han Dynasty (137 BC), living for 103 years.
