Why did many children of the ancient royal family die at a young age?

In ancient times, the children of the royal family were all puppets of the Son of Heaven, not only for power, but also because they were too young to marry close relatives, and their reproductive age was unstable for various reasons.

For the sake of the orthodoxy of the royal bloodline, many of the royal children are married by close relatives, and most of the children born of close relatives are due to diseases, so there are so many royal children who die at a young age.

It is true that the living conditions are better than those of the common people, but not necessarily others. It is common for the royal family to compete for power and profit, and it is common for them to endanger their compatriots in order to snatch benefits. As a result, many children of the royal family often die unexpectedly.

I think there are the following reasons: first, they fell victim to power struggles, and thirdly, in ancient times, it was more common for close relatives to marry, and early marriage and early childbearing. Then there is the low level of medical care, and some simple minor illnesses may kill you.

Because the forces in the palace are intertwined, many people can sacrifice everything for the sake of interests and rights. Therefore, many children of the royal family have become victims.

In ancient times, many royal families were inbred marriages, and inbred marriage has a great impact on the genes of offspring, so most of the children born are genetically defective, and the royal struggle is so fierce, ordinary people can't escape, let alone these people who are born with problems.

For the sake of the desire for power, the princes became victims. There are also early marriages and early childbearing, marriages with close relatives, and it is said that after the Qing Dynasty, most of them were the union of cousins and cousins.

1. Marriage between close relatives and early marriage and early childbearing seriously affect genetic health, and there are many congenital diseases. 2. The power struggle inside and outside the royal family is fierce, and many people have fallen victim directly or indirectly. The level of medical and health care is still relatively backward.

The nature cannot be released, and the mind is not healthy.

1. Poor sanitary conditions; Mainly wrong hygiene practices, such as women's clothes not to be allowed to dry in the sun, lead to the growth of bacteria.

2. Low level of medical care; Many medicinal properties are unknown, such as "cinnabar", which contains toxic metal mercury, but it is a common medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, which is said to be a cure, but it is like poisoning.

3. Wars, power struggles, generally after the prince obtains the throne, he will do everything possible to kill his brother in order to completely get rid of his rivals.

4. Close relatives marry, in order to maintain the nobility of their own blood, choose close relatives to marry. Almost all of them are married to their cousins.

Because of political reasons, there are many emperors' sons, but only one can be the emperor, and the other sons all go to be vassal kings, but many emperors will kill vassal kings for fear of affecting their own country, so it is best to start from a baby.

I think there are at least two things:

1.Medicine in ancient times was not very developed.

2.Intra-palace feuds, political struggles ......

Poor hygiene.

The level of medical care is low.

The harem battle is fierce.

Relationships are chaotic.

There should be many reasons for early death.

1. Recent marriages: nobles only marry nobles and have children, and the children born in the end have similar bloodlines, so the natural genes are not good!

3. Medical technology is not as developed as it is now: if chickenpox is cured now, but not in ancient times, it is easy to be incured when you are sick at a young age, and the nobles are well protected from birth to death, and according to the perspective of modern immunology, you lack antibodies to the virus when you are a child, and it is easy to die of serious illness due to lack of immunity during the growth process.

4. Eating too well: Just like people's diet now, eating too well is easy to have chronic diseases, causing a burden on the body and dying quickly.

Whether it is the congenital physical weakness, or the lack of tribulations in the acquired environment, as well as the burden of mental pressure, in short, the nobility is not human!

In ancient times, the medical conditions were limited, and the mortality rate of children was already very high, and the princess and princess had to register on the jade because of their special status, and the death would be registered in detail, which would give people the feeling of being prone to early death.

If you meet extraordinary people in extraordinary times, the princes and grandchildren will inevitably become victims of political struggles, such as Qin Shi Huang who killed all his brothers and sisters, and met the terminator of the emperor's heirs like Zhao Feiyan Hede sisters in the Han Dynasty.

In ancient times, medical conditions were limited and infant mortality rates were high. The same goes for the emperor's house.

It's not a harem, it's that everyone's children in ancient times were easy to die, and the medical level was too poor.

In ancient times, the standard of medical care was very low, and the infant mortality rate of children from ordinary families was even higher, so ancient China advocated more children and more blessings, on the one hand, in order to prepare more for their offspring"Backups", so as not to encounter accidents.

In addition, most of the marriage radius in the imperial family is too narrow (that is, close relatives marry, such as the mother of the queen, introducing her younger brother's daughter to her son, this is the marriage of aunts and cousins), and the congenital constitution is relatively weak or there are often genetic diseases.

There is the so-called"Cheap work is expensive or not"Finish. The children of the imperial family have been pampered since childhood, and the body's immunity and disease resistance are sometimes not as good as the children of the commoner family who have been rolling in the mud pit since childhood.

Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor family. In ancient times, children had a high mortality rate due to medical conditions, and in the royal family, in the harem of intrigue, in order to compete for favor and the throne. There were a lot of poisoning of the prince.

Because the royal family is full of all kinds of struggles. The real reason is natural selection, survival of the fittest, you can't fight other brothers and sisters will be killed.

There was no advanced medical technology in ancient times. In fact, it is not only the children of the royal family who are prone to early death, but also the children born to ordinary people are more likely to die early.
