As the saying goes, "since ancient times, red face and thin life"
"Emperors have never lived long"
Among the emperors of China's feudal society
Only 5 people can live to be over 80 years old
As the only empress in Chinese history, Wu Zetian
It's one of them
Wu Zetian stills
Wu Zetian not only held great power in his later years, but also had a clear ear and eyesight
He also lived to be 82 years old
Why can Wu Zetian live a long and healthy life?
I learned what Wu Zetian did every day
Maybe friends feel that 82 years old belongs to low life expectancy
A classic dialogue
We all know that Wu Zetian advocated Buddhism
Once, Wu Zetian invited 120-year-old Zen master Hui An to give a lecture
When she saw the Zen master Tong Yan Crane hair, radiant
So I asked him about his high birthday this year
Zen Master Hui An replied, "I don't remember."
This surprised the Empress
"How can you forget your age?"
Hui An's explanation made the empress praise one after another
Zen master said
"The human body, with life and death, like a circle,
There is no beginning and end, youth cannot be retained, and years are not spared,
Although the decline cannot be reversed, the aging process can be slowed down.
Physical aging is irresistible,
But thoughts, spirits, and wills can dwell forever. ”
Perhaps it was Hui An Zen Master's exposition that benefited the Empress a lot
Gave her a lot of life inspiration
Of course, Wu Zetian himself also attaches importance to good habits
Emphasis on mental and physical exercise
Wu Zetian's father was originally a wood merchant
Later, he followed Li Yuan in rebellion against the Sui Dynasty
Became an officer of the Chang'an Guards
The family gradually became richer and had a social status
Wu Zetian's mother, Yang Shi, is also a bridesmaid
Or Emperor Li Yuan personally made a matchmaker
Wu Zetian grew up in such a family
She has been diligent in learning literature since she was a child and practiced riding horses
She is a girl with outward appearance and inner wisdom
After entering the imperial palace, he was liked by the two emperors of father and son
Mental exercise makes it smart, and physical exercise makes it energetic
Wu Zetian was different from the standard girls of that era
But it also benefited Wu Zetian for life
Nourish the heart
Wu Zetian was influenced by his mother and believed in Buddhism since childhood
Later, she worked as a nun in the temple for 3 years
This experience allowed Wu Zetian to learn "zazen" and "shackles"
Later became emperor,
Although there are many major events in the country, there are many opportunities every day
But the empress still insisted on the habit of meditation
Let her tired nerves and nervous emotions relax
Wu Zetian's hobbies are also very extensive
Chess, poetry, calligraphy, song and dance, flower viewing
Empress Wu Zetian also liked micro-service private visits
Understand the situation of ordinary people
The Empress was very concerned about the common people
Even if Wu Zetian was dealing with major military affairs
Just hear that the people are begging to see you outside the door
Wu Zetian would hurry to the city gate to meet the common people
These habits invisibly allow her to pranayama
It is beneficial to her physical and mental health and prolong her life
There is courage and strategy, and there are worries and difficulties
We all know the story of Wu Zetian's taming of the horse
Later, Wu Zetian controlled the situation for half a century
But these decades have been full of light and dark dangers
Without great wisdom and courage, it is impossible to control the group of subjects
Liu Xiaoqing, who plays Wu Zetian, once said
"Wu Zetian is talented and strategic, but she is not obedient,
This constitutes her character traits...,
Always have extraordinary courage, wisdom and boldness"
It is precisely because of this that she can become the Emperor of Longevity
Food and beauty are good
As emperor, Wu Zetian was not as extravagant as the later Empress Dowager Cixi
The Queen's diet is frugal
Reasonable, balanced meals
Helps to avoid cardiovascular disease and cancer, etc
It is a woman's nature to love beauty
The empress is good at beauty, and the 70-year-old Wu Zetian is like 50 years old
According to the New Book of Tang
"Although Wu Zetian was rich in spring and autumn, he was good at tu ze,
Left and right do not understand its decline. ”
Of course, Wu Zetian recruited Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong into the palace in his later years
Probably also has a lot to do with it
The two brothers are proficient in playing and singing
Let Empress Wu Zetian be happy every day
brief summary:
Wu Zetian was able to live a long life
There is also the genetic aspect
Wu Zetian lived for 82 years
Her mother lived to be 92 years old
Genes are particularly powerful
Genetic factors also make Wu Zetian live longer
