The ancients had a short life, so why did Wu Zetian live to be 81 years old? She has an advantage that modern girls envy!
As we all know, the average life expectancy of people in ancient times was not high, and the emperor's life was so superior that he could live to more than 70 years old, and those who lived to more than 80 years old were even more numerous. Ancient emperors also wanted to do everything possible to prolong life, all want to live forever, speaking of Wu Zetian, everyone will certainly not be unfamiliar, and the Tang Dynasty at that time, can be said to be the first big power, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the people's living standards are also the highest in history.
From ancient times to the present, longevity is what everyone is striving for. Modern medical technology is very developed, many difficult and complicated diseases can be well treated, and everyone's living standards have gradually improved, so the life expectancy of the elderly is getting longer and longer. In the past era, it was very difficult to achieve longevity, but why was Wu Zetian able to live to the age of 81 safely?
First of all, Wu Zetian's family is relatively wealthy, and the living conditions are relatively superior. Because her father was a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, he made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, not only that, but even his mother was born noble, her mother's surname was Yang, and she was the widow of the Sui Dynasty, and her mother's father, that is, her grandfather, was Yang Da, the land of the Sui Dynasty Guande King.
Finally, love physical exercise. Wu Zetian not only loves calligraphy, but she is also particularly fond of sports, especially horseback riding. It is said that she was very good at horse training when she was a teenager, and according to historical records, she was able to steer horses when she was in her seventies, which shows that her physical fitness is beyond anyone else's ability. In general, Wu Zetian really achieved self-cultivation, so it is not surprising that he has a long life.
