In ancient times, people were generally short in height, which was partly related to living environment, nutritional status and genetic factors.
According to historical records and documents, we know the height information of some famous ancient figures, such as Xiang Yu, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei.
However, it is not easy to accurately compare the heights of ancient figures with those of modern times, as statistics and measurement methods also vary from time to time and region. Therefore, when we compare the height of ancient and modern people, we should use the general concept and trend as the standard.
In ancient times, the average height of people was generally short. The nutritional status in ancient times was not as good as in modern times, the dietary structure was relatively simple, and the nutritional intake was not sufficient, which naturally had a certain impact on the development of the body.
In ancient times, people's living environment was also relatively difficult, labor intensive, and the lack of exercise and exercise in daily life also limited the possibility of physical development.
However, the great historical figures Xiang Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei were all relatively tall. According to records, Xiang Yu is about 1.9 meters tall, and he is a figure with extraordinary strength and outstanding stature.
With his burly posture and mighty image, he became the overlord of Western Chu, and he was almost invincible on the battlefield. Although he possessed a much above-average height, he was still a striking presence in the ancient society of the time.
And Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are both above 1.8 meters tall. Zhuge Liang was the star of wisdom of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, known as "Mr. Wolong", and he helped Liu Bei a lot with his superb wisdom and strategy.
Liu Bei was the founding emperor of Shu Han in history, and his superior height image also had a certain influence in ancient times.
However, compared to ancient times, the height of modern people has generally increased quite a bit. With the development of society, science and technology, modern living conditions have been greatly improved, and people's dietary structure has become richer and more diverse, and they have obtained more adequate nutrition.
The progress of modern medicine has also made people pay more attention to the problems of physical health and growth and development, therefore, in modern society, people's height is relatively high.
According to the World Health Organization, the average height of people around the world has gradually increased in recent years. For example, in developed countries, the average height of men is generally over 1.75 meters, while for women it is more than 1.60 meters. In some Nordic countries and the Netherlands, the average height of people has exceeded the 1.80 meter mark.
This trend of increasing height, in addition to the impact of modern nutrition improvements and medical advances, is also related to changes in people's living environment and increased awareness of exercise.
Modern people pay more attention to physical exercise and actively participate in various sports, which has a positive effect on the development and growth of the body.
Of course, height is only an indicator of physical development, and it does not represent the whole of a person. Historically, there have been many examples of people who were small in stature but possessed noble character and outstanding talent.
For example, the ancient literary giant Du Fu, although he was not tall, he became a bright pearl in the history of Chinese literature with his profound thoughts and diction.
Modern society pursues diversity and inclusiveness, and people pay more attention to the comprehensive quality and ability of individuals. In addition to height, the development of intelligence, ability, morality, etc. is equally important.
Modern society gives everyone more opportunities and equal treatment, regardless of height, as long as there is enough hard work and talent, anyone has a chance to achieve success and achievement.
When evaluating a person, we should not only pay attention to the height, but also pay attention to the individual's qualities and abilities. Among literati, thinkers, scientists, artists, and other groups, height is not a criterion, but rather a criterion for human wisdom and creativity.
We should encourage everyone to explore their own strengths and potential, and realize their own life value, rather than being constrained by the factor of height.
In contemporary times, height differences are no longer an important social issue, and people pay more attention to equality and diversity. We should respect everyone's differences and individuality, pay attention to their talents and abilities, and provide them with equal opportunities and development space.
Regardless of height, everyone should have the right to pursue their dreams and pursue success and happiness through their own efforts.
In conclusion, height is a manifestation of ontogeny, ancient people were generally shorter in height, while modern people generally increased in height. The height difference does not represent the whole of a person, we should focus on the qualities, wisdom and talents of the individual.
In modern society, diversity and inclusion are the goals we pursue, and everyone should have equal opportunities for development, pursue their dreams, and create their own brilliance.
