Some people read ancient books that Lu was 8 feet tall and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was 8 feet 2 inches tall.
Guan Gong was 9 feet tall and Confucius was 9 feet 6 inches tall. I'm surprised. Especially warblers over 5 feet and
Wu Dalang, who was nearly 5 feet, was a dwarf, so he thought the ancients were taller than today.
In fact, the ancient ruler is much shorter than the modern ruler. The earliest rulers of China appeared in
Two thousand years ago, in the Xia dynasty, the historian "Historical Records of Yu Benji" said that Dayu decided to become a.
Zhang takes one-tenth of it as a ruler, so he calls this person "husband". Xia Chi actually only has
Today's city scale is 4 inches and 8 minutes, and Dayu is only 4 feet and 8 inches, only 1.60 meters high.
According to various ancient books, relevant experts calculated the length of one foot in the past dynasties: one foot in the Warring States period was
22.5 cm; 23.1cm in Han dynasty; Three kingdoms 24cm；; Jin 24
.5 cm; Southern and Northern Dynasties 24.2-29.6 cm; Sui 29.6cm；;
Tang 30 cm; Song 31.2cm; 32 cm in Ming and Qing dynasties.
According to this standard, we can calculate that the height of Confucius is 2. 1 m, which is a position.
Tall; Although Yan Ying is more than 5 feet, she is actually only 1.2 meters, which is worthy of the name.
Shorty; Xiang Yu1.88m; Guan Gong 2.16m; Shen Zhi is about 2 meters, Wu.
Dalang is "less than 5 feet" and only 1.3 meters. It is not wrong to call him a dwarf.
Moreover, the height of celebrities in ancient books is inevitably exaggerated. Even so,
Still not as tall as modern people, Mu Tiezhu is 2.28 meters tall, and there are no ancient saints.
You can compete with him. According to another data, 400 years ago, the average figure of men in China.
Height 1.66 to1.68m,195 The average height of men in China was
1.7 1 m. In addition, other countries such as Japan, the United States, the former Soviet Union and so on.
There has also been a phenomenon of "generation by generation". Of course, human growth is not a good thing.
But it shows that modern people are indeed taller than the ancients.
