Why did Kangxi and Qianlong live longer? Just because he quit a "hobby", other emperors could not do it.
The emperor seems to have inexhaustible wealth and supreme power, but it is also a very hurtful profession, the Qing Dynasty has a total of 12 emperors, of which the Yongzheng Emperor died at the age of 58, and the two emperors of Kangxi and Qianlong are the longest-lived, these two emperors are not any secrets of health, the original longevity really has a secret, unlike other emperors they never contaminate these two hobbies.
From ancient times to the present, people in the world have all pursued longevity, as far as Qin Shi Huang has been bent on pursuing immortality, resurrecting his mother, even if he has searched for all possible elixirs and methods in the world, he has not been able to achieve his wishes, as the emperor above ten thousand people, it seems that they have unlimited power, but it is not the case, the emperor is revered as the son of heaven, the dragon body is not his alone, but the expectation of thousands of people, many emperors are in their prime of life, they died, nothing more than thinking too much and adding the position above tens of thousands of people, there are too many people to remember, The emperor must not be on guard day and night, so how kangxi and Qianlong lived long in this high-risk occupation, the kangxi emperor is the longest reigning emperor in Chinese history, of course, he ascended the throne very early.
The Kangxi Emperor from the government is a distinct monarch, he every batch of reading folds on the dragon chair is a few hours, an hour in ancient times is equivalent to the current two hours, a few hours a day of mental labor how to bear this body, just as the so-called emperor is not anxious eunuchs urgent, the slaves serving on the side see the emperor so tired and worried about the dragon body is not safe, helpless status humble dare not persuade, can only prepare precious supplements next to carefully wait, according to common sense, the Kangxi Emperor is so diligent in the government and the heart of the exhausted body should be very tired, Why does he live longer than other emperors, the Kangxi Emperor is a person who cherishes his body and strives for excellence, and in ancient times he thought of balancing the diet with meat and vegetarian combinations.
Although he is a noble son of heaven, he does not love big fish and meat and mountain treasures and seafood, but most like to eat millet and eggplant, we all know that this is a very healthy way of eating, of course, help to maintain the best level of the body, another reason for longevity is that Kangxi did not smoke this hobby, opium has flowed into China in large quantities during the Qing Dynasty, up to the palace ministers down to the common people are addicted to big smoke, the harm of big smoke to the body can be imagined, the Kangxi Emperor is not unable to smoke but there is no such bad habit, unlike the Kangxi Emperor, When the Qianlong Emperor was young and strong, he also smoked a lot of cigarettes, and he also had a great addiction to smoking, but the time to smoke was gone, the Qianlong Emperor found that his body had symptoms such as cough and fatigue, and he was not convinced by the emperor, and his body was in a bad condition, and Qianlong understood that he was smoking a lot of smoke and made up his mind to quit smoking.
Big smoke for people's paralysis is even greater than modern cigarettes, want to quit smoking is not an easy thing, the Qianlong Emperor is also in perseverance and the help of the doctor, finally successfully quit this bad habit, the future slowly conditioned his body also recovered as before, there is a bad habit is to indulge in Dan medicine, China's ancient alchemy technology has reached a very mature point, alchemy is a very popular profession in ancient times, many emperors will be eager to live a long life, the emperor is more dependent on his supreme power, The pursuit of this world's rare elixir, but the elixir can not be eaten indiscriminately, many ancient elixirs seem to have an effect, in fact, it is added a lot of heavy metal components to stimulate people's skin, it seems that the red light is full of face to achieve a short rejuvenation effect, this way of taking Dan medicine is equivalent to chronic poisoning, the heavy metal content in the human body reaches a certain degree, not only does not have the effect of prolonging life, it will damage the organs of the human body, and eventually go to death.
The Kangxi Emperor was optimistic that life and death had a destiny, why deliberately bother, so he was not at all interested in taking Dan medicine to prolong life, nor did he take this kind of Dan medicine, but continued to maintain his good habits of healthy eating, the Qianlong Emperor directly did not believe that these alchemists' Dan medicine can live a long life, nor did they eat these Dan medicines that can live a long life, Kangxi and Qianlong two emperors, did not have the habit of taking longevity Dan medicine, there is no accumulation and existence of any toxic substances in the body, the body is naturally healthy, Even the bad habit of smoking, the two emperors were not contaminated, which laid the foundation for the longevity of the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors, with the improvement of modern people's living standards, the average life expectancy of Chinese residents has been extended, and the desire to live a long life of one hundred years has become more and more realized.
