It ranks among the best in the country and becomes a longevity island. There were many people over 100 years old in ancient China. However, it is somewhat difficult to answer.
According to historical records, many people live to be over 100 years old, and the oldest people even reach over 300 years old. According to the Song Dynasty poet Qian Dong Ji, during the reign of Taiping and Xingguo (976-983 AD), he came to Guangdong and met Yang Xiuju at the age of 8 1 year in Hainan Island. He was invited to his home and met Yang 122-year-old father and 195. His great-grandfather is like a child. Although Yang doesn't know how old he is, it is calculated that he is at least over 200 years old.
According to "Southern History" written by Zhong Chenheng of Liang Shihang, he invaded Liangcheng (present-day Henan) in Liang Wudi during the Pingnian period (520-526 AD) and met a 240-year-old resident in the city. In Jiang Liangfu's Monument to Celebrities in Past Dynasties, there was a monk named Zhao Hui from the Six Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, who was 290 years old. But some people still live longer than him. According to Ming Di Ji, Pei Songzhi quoted that there was a Xianbei woman when she was in Bing. She is 350 years old, and her speech and diet are as normal as ordinary people.
Some people always think that doing mental work will not last long. Actually, it is not. For example, Zhang Cang, a fat man in the Han Dynasty, was an ancient counselor and a good scholar. He is good at reading, knows his books and has an accurate calendar. He died at the age of 65,438+005. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, lived to be over 100 years old. Sun, a beginner and poet in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties, lived to the age of 159. Modern scholars, painters and calligraphers live longer than 100 years.
It can be seen that people engaged in mental and manual labor can live a long life as long as they are healthy.
