The average life expectancy of ancient people was shorter, how many years did the people who lived t

Many people don't understand one thing, that is, the conditions in ancient times were relatively harsh, and the medical technology was worse than in modern times, but there are still people who have lived for a long time, why is this? First of all, let's introduce two people who have lived for a long time.

It is said that the person who lived the longest in ancient times was Peng Zu, because he lived a long time, and it was a miracle in ancient times, so he was called a birthday star and a health family. His name is recorded in many ancient pre-Qin texts.

Legend has it that Peng Zu has been in Yao's time since that time, Xia Shang he has experienced, almost to the end of the Yin Dynasty, he is 767 years old, and he disappeared after living to 800 years old. It feels like an exaggeration. However, some scholars explained that the ancient times used the method of keeping the day, and according to this algorithm, Peng Zu did not live that long at all, and lived for 126 years.

Whether it is true or not, Peng Zu is regarded as a symbol of longevity, and even Confucius envied him for living a long life.

There is also Li Qingyuan of the Qing Dynasty, there are written records in history that he lived for 257 years, and I feel that this credibility is still relatively high, after all, the times are quite close to us, and the historical records are relatively complete. Because this person has studied traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation, when he was in his 200s, he looked like a prime of life, and he was still called a fairy.

Although ancient people generally had a relatively short life expectancy, the above two examples also show that there was no shortage of people with long life, so how did they achieve high life expectancy under such difficult conditions? I think there are three reasons.

First, the ancient people paid attention to health preservation, and the study of traditional Chinese medicine was more profound, you must know that traditional Chinese medicine is a good thing, many incurable diseases can be solved, some people have encountered the example of traditional Chinese medicine curing cancer, healthy health, natural life for a long time.

Second, there are also some problems in genes, obesity genes can be inherited, and longevity genes should also be there.

The third is that their living environment also has a lot to do with it, just imagine if you are a recluse, play chess every day, practice calligraphy, appreciate flowers, cultivate sentiment, there is almost no trouble, you should be able to live longer, those who seem to live longer.

In fact, it is not so important to live for a long time, the important thing is that we live happily, live every day, make every day happy, and make our lives more worthwhile.

In history, Gu Sanfeng seemed to live for more than 100 years, and Qianlong at that time seemed to have lived for a long time.

In ancient times, it was said that the people who lived the longest lived to be more than 400 years old, but I don't think this statement is true at all, and ancient people generally lived about 60 years old.

In ancient times, the longest people lived were more than 70 years old, and modern people lived to more than 100, a difference of 30 years, and the medical conditions in ancient times were not good, and the medical skills were not as accurate as they are now.

The average life expectancy is 20-30, and the era of children's fights is in the Seven Kingdoms, and the most lively time for children to fight is in the Three Kingdoms era.

Zhang Sanfeng has lived for hundreds of years, and it is unknown whether it is true or not. Ancient and modern people are certainly not as good as modern ones.

In ancient times, the longest-lived one seemed to be Peng Zu, who lived for hundreds of years, but no one should be able to live so long.

In ancient times, life expectancy was very short anyway, so it was relatively early to get married, and I don't know how short it was, but there were also longevity.

Please say that there was a man in the Qing Dynasty who lived for hundreds of years and went through the changes of several emperors, but compared with modern times, there is nothing to prove in ancient times.

What was the average life expectancy of ancient people?

1.How did ancient people calculate lifespan?

In ancient times, people did not have the support of modern medicine, so it was impossible to accurately calculate the lifespan of a person. Ancient people often estimated their lifespan based on factors such as age, physical condition, and family genetics, and there were even some mysterious fortune tellers that could be used as a reference. As a result, there is a large error in the data on the average life expectancy of ancient people.

2.How many years did the average life expectancy of an ancient man be?

According to historical records and archival sources, the average life expectancy of ancient people was between 20 and 40 years. Among them, some people who live in a good environment and have better economic conditions, such as emperors, ** and nobles, may live past the age of 50, but such a number is not many. In contrast, the life expectancy of ordinary people is much shorter, with many dying even as children.

3.What was the reason for the short lifespan of ancient people?

The short lifespan of ancient people was mainly due to the poor living environment of people, the lack of nutritional balance, a varied diet, and the support of medical equipment and technology. In addition, factors such as wars, plagues and natural disasters will also lead to a significant increase in the mortality rate of human seepage and hail, thereby accelerating people's aging and death.

4.Over time, the lifespan of ancient people changed.

With the passage of time, people's living conditions and medical standards have been greatly improved, and people's life expectancy has also increased significantly. For example, the average life expectancy in Europe was only 35 years in the early 18th century, and by the beginning of the 20th century, the average life expectancy in Europe had reached about 70 years. Similarly, China has experienced a dramatic increase in life expectancy from that era to modern times.

5.Has the life span of modern people reached its limit?

With the advancement of medicine and the improvement of the environment, the life expectancy of modern people is also increasing. However, there is still debate as to whether humans have reached the limit of their lifespan. In the scientific community, some people believe that the aging process of DNA and the degradation of the genome have pushed the limits of human lifespan; And some people believe that with the progress of science and technology and living standards, the life expectancy of human beings will continue to increase.

6.How can I prolong my life?

Whether humans have reached the limit of their lifespan or not, we can take steps to extend our own lifespan. For example, maintain a healthy lifestyle, pay attention to balanced nutrition, exercise, undergo medical check-ups and ** under the advice of a doctor, and avoid unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking, alcohol, etc.

7.Conclusion.

Although the average life expectancy of ancient people was shorter, modern people have achieved a significant increase in life expectancy through science and technology and improving the living environment. While there is still debate about whether we have reached the limit of our lifespan, we can prolong our lives through a healthy lifestyle and scientific medicine**.
