Peng Zu, who was originally called the birthday girl, is a real person, which is recorded in Historical Records and Guoyu. According to records, Peng Zu lived in the Yao and Shun period and founded Guo Peng, the ancestor of Peng. According to legend, he also worked as an official in Xia and Shang Dynasties. Although estimated by the history of past dynasties, it may have spanned 800 years, but there is a small misunderstanding. It turned out to be a descendant of Peng Zu, not Peng Zu himself, who was an official in Xia and Shang Dynasties. However, people lied that Peng Zu lived for 800 years and worked as an official in Xia and Shang Dynasties because the Peng family really produced many people with long lives.
Now that the rumor has been proved to be false, how old did the real Peng Zu live? According to our current time calendar, it is certainly impossible for Peng Zu to be 800 years old, but according to the ancient calendar at that time, it is very possible for Peng Zuhuo to be 800 years old. Because in the Yao and Shun era when I lived in Peng Zu, our present 60 days was a year. If converted in this way, it means that Peng Zu lived 1, about 30 years old. Among the ancient people who died in their forties and fifties, Peng Zu lived a long life.
Peng Zu lived 130 years, which is really a long life. However, due to unclear records, there may be errors. But from a clear history, although the survival rate was low in the past, some people lived long. For example, Sun Simiao, the drug king, lived 1000 years in the history of China. Therefore, if properly maintained and exercised, it is possible to live a long life in ancient times with extremely high mortality.
