The lifespan of modern people is shorter than that of ancient people??

1.How much of the Buddha's story is true and how much is false? Can you know?

The longevity of the Buddha may not be just a means used by Buddhism in China to find more adherents. Because the ancient Chinese prayed for immortality, we also know that many emperors, even Ming monarchs like Emperor Taizong of Tang, have also looked for elixir.

2.Is it true in the scriptures? Can it be verified? So what was the reason for the death of the man who lived for 84,000 years? His tomb, his life, etc., etc., there is a great possibility of clerical errors and fabrications.

3.Are you sure the Buddha is talking about averages? Is the arithmetic mean? Or is it the median, the mode? Statistics is a wonderful subject.

4.In ancient times, there were also a lot of drowning, falling off cliffs and the like, but now it's just because the mass media is developing rapidly, we have more opportunities to know this, in ancient times, this kind of thing was at most transmitted to the neighboring villages to make tea and dinner conversations, except for Pu Songling, who would be bored enough to remember this? What's more, it was a feudal society at that time, and the rulers all wanted their dynasty to appear to be peaceful and peaceful, and even if they wrote it down, they could only look at it themselves, and it would definitely be lost, or burned by someone like Qin Shi Huang.

5.Now, with the development of rescue technology, we can deal with many situations. For example, how many people can be saved in ancient times? How many people can modern technology save? How many of the ancient ** have not been recorded? There was also the plague, which in ancient times was a large cemetery.

6.It's all peaceful now, and there's not much to fight, right? What about antiquity?

Especially the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Three Kingdoms Period. In addition, other dynasties also have to deal with foreign invasions, and the princes are also fighting for each other, can you guarantee that fewer people will die at that time? Not to mention the medical conditions, the supply of troops is not good.

It's not nice to say, if you are seriously injured, no one will save you, and you can't recognize shock, fake death, etc. at that time, and you really don't know how to bury people like this. And no one will be idle to inform your home, unlike now, when you respect human rights and send death notices to your home.

The above is my opinion on these six reasons, in short, due to information dissemination and other aspects, the lifespan of ancient people is unknown. Peng Zu is just a good sustenance for ancient people to look forward to a long life due to their short lifespan. Moreover, "people live for seventy years", are you right?

Friends: Recognizing that life expectancy is the result of a combination of lifestyle habits, genetic factors, and psychological factors, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the prophecies in Buddhist scriptures.

Obviously, it was impossible, at that time there was not as much food as it is now, and the level of medical care was poor, and many minor diseases in modern times were terminal diseases in ancient times

I don't dare to say it late, but the average life expectancy during the Shang and Zhou dynasties was 35 years old, please, who told you that you were 100 years old?? You also believe in mythology and Buddhism???

Explain again, accidents, wars, and many deaths, you also know that it has to be average, how big is the base now, 10 million people die now, the earth is still 6 billion, and 10 million people died before, and the earth ape-man has to stand again.

If you had to say that, then we add up to the life expectancy of all human beings today is much longer than in ancient times, right?

You have to look at religion as a high philosophy, and it is undoubtedly sad to treat religious records as history.

Isn't Peng Zu an example of longevity?

The reason why the life expectancy of the ancients was shorter than that of modern people was mainly because the living standards of ancient people were not as high as those of modern people, and many ancient people lacked food and clothing. In ancient times, the level of medical care was also very low, and many people were likely to lose their lives after falling ill. Ancient people were also very superstitious and ignorant, and often listened to other people to eat some home remedies.

In ancient times, if a person could live to be seventy or eighty years old, he was an absolute long-lived person, but now, people are generally able to live to seventy or eighty years old. Why did ancient people live as long as modern people? Here's what I think:

First, the living standards of ancient people are not as high as those of modern people.

We all know that in ancient times, the level of productivity was very low, whether it was clothing or food, it was not particularly sufficient. Because many people in ancient times lacked food and clothing, their living standards and quality of life had a large gap with modern people, so many ancient people would also have a low quality of life, resulting in their life expectancy is not particularly long.

Second, the level of medical care in ancient times was also very low.

Nowadays, if people have a headache, fever or minor illness, they can go to the hospital for treatment. But in ancient times, many people would be infected with a cold or fever and could not be treated and lost their lives. The level of medical care in ancient times was very low, and it is precisely because of this that many ancient people lived very short lives.

3. Many people in ancient times were also very superstitious and ignorant.

In ancient times, many people were very superstitious, and they did not understand science. Superstitious people generally listen to other people to take some home remedies or do things that hurt themselves and others. It is precisely because the generations of people do not understand science and are very superstitious that they will lose their lives because of superstition and ignorance.

Because ancient people did not have a particularly good living conditions in their lives, and did not have a very good way of maintaining health, the food was particularly unclean, life was not very regular, all aspects were problems, and they were not as advanced as they are now.

In ancient times, the infrastructure was not perfect, and in the event of a famine or disease, it would cause a large number of people** to be unable to receive effective treatment.

Because in ancient times, wars were more frequent, and people were full of struggles between people, and the level of medical care at that time was relatively backward.

The average life expectancy of the ancients was shorter than that of modern people, due to the poor medical conditions in ancient times, the high rate of premature birth death, many civil wars, the low productivity at that time, the lack of grain harvested in a year, and the marriage of close relatives.

This is because medicine was underdeveloped in ancient times, and people now pay more attention to health preservation, and the medical field is developing very fast, and they know a lot of health knowledge.

Because of poor medical conditions, poor living conditions, low levels of productivity, frequent wars, early marriage and childbirth, poor scientific and technological levels, poor transportation conditions, etc.

Modern people live longer than ancient people for the following reasons:

1. Ancient wars have been repeated, the ancient dynasties of the world have been in a chaotic situation of fragmentation for a long time, peace and development are the themes of today's world, and modern society is more secure.

2. The ancient economy was backward, the ancients relied on the sky for food, there was no artificial rainfall, there was no advanced water conservancy project, famine was easy to form, and feudal rule emphasized the supremacy of imperial power, and the modern concept of peace and democracy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and one side was in difficulty and all sides supported.

3. Ancient means of transportation are underdeveloped, traffic roads are not developed, once the disease develops rapidly, it is difficult for doctors to rescue patients, modern transportation is developed, and professional ambulances are available 24 hours a day, and the survival rate of patients with acute diseases is greatly improved.

4. In ancient times, for patients with massive bleeding, there was no blood transfusion banquet and preparation, and they could only rely on celibate soup, returning to the yang and saving yin and other methods to rescue patients who had stopped bleeding.

5. In ancient times, due to the underdevelopment of science and technology, there were no modern production tools, especially the oppressed lower-class people had poor living conditions and the possibility of contracting diseases at any time.
