Over the 5000 years of China, there have been various ways of keeping fit. How did the ancients maintain their health? By looking at the 25 officials in China, there were more than 230 emperors before and after, with more short-lived and less long-lived emperors. Emperor Qianlong is the sixth emperor of Qing Dynasty. He has been in power for 60 years and lived for 89 years. He is the longest living emperor in the history. He experienced the four dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing, and enjoyed the family happiness of seven generations.
Why could Emperor Qianlong enjoy his old age alone? It turns out that he had a set of health preserving secrets. According to his own personal experience, he summed up the four secrets of health preservation: "exhale and absorb the heart, exercise the muscles and bones, ten constant and four don't, timely supplement.". Among them, the "ten Chang" are: the teeth are often knocked, the fluid is often swallowed, the ears are often brushed, the nose is often rubbed, the eyes are often turned, the face is often rubbed, the feet are often rubbed, the abdomen is often moved, the limbs are often extended, and the anus is often lifted.
The four don't's are: don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you lie down, don't get drunk when you drink, and don't get lost in color. This "ten often four don't" completely conforms to the principle of health care. Nothing else but wine and color. Qianlong respected as the son of heaven, rich in the world, rich in wine, full of beautiful palace. In this environment, it is really valuable to be able to do not love wine and color.
Qianlong was a child who learned to ride and shoot, and had played his part in several royal archery competitions in summer resort. When he became emperor, he enjoyed riding and shooting. When he was 80 years old, he still went hunting. Horse archery, a large amount of activity, is undoubtedly a good way to exercise.
Qianlong was fond of traveling. The story of Emperor Qianlong going to the south of the Yangtze River is almost a household name. In his life, he went down to the south of the Yangtze River six times and climbed Mount Wutai three times. Many famous mountains and rivers, ancient temples and Buddhist circles have left his footprints. Tourism can not only exercise the body, but also treat the mood, is a good health care measures.
Qianlong was good at reading and poetry. It is said that he wrote more than 1300 compositions and 40000 Poems (naturally, many of them were drafted by his officials). Qianlong was fond of calligraphy. He was good at writing. His characters were mellow and graceful, and he had good skills. Every place you go, you need to pay attention to it. The ten sceneries of the West Lake were inscribed by him. These hobbies were of great benefit to Qianlong's brain, body and nature.
Qianlong had a regular diet. He got up at about 6 o'clock, washed and had breakfast. In the morning, I deal with government affairs, discuss with ministers, and have a rest in the afternoon. After dinner, read, write and write, then go to bed. His diet is mainly fresh vegetables, eat less meat, and never full. Qianlong never smoked, but liked tea. He is very particular about drinking water, with Xishan spring water as the imperial water.
Qianlong also paid attention to supplement, but it was timely and appropriate, and did not mend at random. "Songling wine" and "Guilingji" are mainly made of Chinese herbal medicines, which are mainly used for tonifying the spleen and kidney and benefiting qi and blood. This is also in line with medical principles. Tonifying the kidney can nourish the congenital, invigorating the spleen can strengthen the day after tomorrow, the kidney qi is strong, the spleen and stomach are healthy, the Qi and blood are full, and the body is naturally strong.
Because of Qianlong's method of health preservation, he had a strong body all his life. He was nearly 90 years old, and he was conscious and free to move. Sometimes he also interfered with the government as emperor Tai. It's a healthy birthday indeed.
