Although many people suspect that Peng Zu could not have lived past 800 years, there is not much evidence that he did not live that long. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even now, it is generally believed that Peng Zu was the longest-lived person in history, and it is recorded in the Chinese and Shiji that he lived for 800 years.

Legend Peng Zu is the great-great-grandson of the five emperors in ancient times, he experienced Yao Shun, **** dynasties, to the end of the Yin Shang Dynasty, has been 767 years old, according to legend he lived more than 800 years old, is the world's most understanding of health, the longest life.

His health regimen was sorted out by later generations into a "Peng Zu Jing" handed down.

"How did I hear that this statement is false?" At this time, Tang Baobao, who had been silent, spoke.

"Wrong? Are you wrong in history, or is it wrong in the annals? Pang Tong asked with a smile.

Tang Baobao immediately raised his hand and said: "It's not what I said, it's my father who said it, he said, this is actually a misunderstanding, the real longest-lived person in history is not Peng Zu, the reason for this misunderstanding is because in ancient China, there was no unified standard for the calculation of years." ”

"What did your dad say?" Yu Shan was also curious at this time.

Tang Baobao nodded and said: "Once I don't know why, our family also talked about Peng Zu, saying that he lived 800 years old and really lived a long life, and then my father said that this was because the number of days in a year at that time was different from now, so there was this misunderstanding." ”

"And such a thing?" At this time, it was not only Yu Shan who was curious, but even the fifth knife they were curious to ask.

"If you don't believe it, check it, many people agree with this statement." Tang Baobao said.

Seeing that they did not object to Yushan, Tang Baobao continued: "Peng Zu was born in Pengshan, Sichuan, grew up in Pengshan, and grew old in Pengshan in his later years. ”

"Sixty days for a year?" Qian Xiaohao asked.

"There's really that way of saying it." Yu Shan quickly confirmed.

In modern times, some people have researched and found that the ancient chronology does have a saying that 60 days is 1 year old.

According to today's chronological standards, Peng Zu only lived to be more than 130 years old.

Historians also believe that the so-called Peng Zu is 800 years old, which is actually the number of years of existence of the Great Peng Kingdom, so Peng Zu actually only lived for more than 130 years.

"One hundred and thirty is considered a long life, and now there are not many of us humans who can live past a hundred years old." Qian Xiaohao said.

Yu Shan smiled at this time: "This is because you don't know the existence of those people, in fact, the lifespan of some people can also be compared with the length of the legendary immortals." ”

"Don't talk about the legendary characters, aren't people as famous as Peng Zu also thought to have lived for only one hundred and thirty years? This time I support the baby. Pang Tong said with a smile.

Qian Xiaohao also said: "I also support the baby, legends are legends after all, apart from legends, who can prove that someone can live past the age of one hundred and twenty?" Even if there are a few Guinness World Records holders, they are only 116 years old, or 117 years old. ”

"I do know one, the person with the highest life expectancy in history who has written records seems to be Li Qingyuan of the Qing Dynasty, who lived 257 years old." At this time, Tang Baobao whispered again.

"Huh?" Qian Xiaohao was stunned for a moment and said.

Pang Tong said with a tangled face: "You also know this?" ”

Tang Baobao pursed his lips and said, "My mother gave it to popular science, and it was because of Peng Zu that she got it, such a person who is more than two hundred years old." ”

"Are there really anyone over two hundred years old?" The fifth knife said in surprise.

Yu Shan said with a smile at this time: "I have also heard of this character, I heard that he is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who pays great attention to health preservation, so he will be two hundred and fifty-six years old." ”

Regarding whether cultivation can live a long life, Yu Shan is very concerned, it can be said that since he broke through the innate and since he met those Dao Monarchs in the beautiful encounter group, he knew that there may really be immortals in this world, so Yu Shan deliberately looked up the information about this.

For example, this Li Qingyuan, he is definitely a legend, he was born in the eighteenth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1679) and died in the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935), at the age of 257.

Because of his extraordinary attainments and achievements in the study and practice of traditional Chinese medicine, especially health preservation, at the age of more than 200, his words and deeds are still like those in the prime of life, so he is known as "immortal".

Li Qingyuan is originally from Yunnan Province, also known as Li Qingyun, settled in Kaixian County, Sichuan Province in his 90s, married 24 wives in his life, and has a full house of children and grandchildren.

In the sixteenth year of the Republic of China (1927), Li Qingyun was invited by the Sichuan warlord Yang Sen to go to Wanxian County to teach the way of self-cultivation.

Yang Sen was a guest to Li Jingruo, and made new clothes for Li, and asked the photo studio to enlarge the photo and display it in the window, indicating "Li Qingyun, a 250-year-old man in Kaixian County, was taken in Wanzhou in March of the 16th year of the Republic of China".

All of a sudden, the newspapers in the province competed to report as a strange news, causing a sensation in Sichuan.

Because Li couldn't tell the secret of self-cultivation, he was soon sent back to Kaixian.

In the twentieth year of the Republic of China (1931), the "Wanzhou Daily" on September 15 carried again: "Li Qingyun, a 273-year-old man in Kaixian County, had gone from Chenjiachang to Wan the night before and lived in Lijia Garden. The old man was invited by Master Wang to Wan's ......"

When Li Qingyuan was 250 years old, his fellow villager, Mr. Liu Chengxun, a native of Kaixian County, Sichuan Province, made a special trip to interview him.

Li Qingyuan was full of interest, quoted scriptures and internal classics, and made a long macro discussion on health preservation, not only talking about personal health preservation, but also on the experience and lessons of ancient and modern health preservation, which was recorded in detail by Mr. Liu Chengxun and sorted out into the article "Self-Statement", which has been preserved for future generations and is still a masterpiece of health preservation.

Liu Chengxun's interview and reminiscence article was published in the sixth issue of "Qigong" magazine in 1986, and at the same time, it also published about 1,000 words of "immortality" dictated by birthday star Li Qingyuan.

At that time, some newspapers in the capital reported it with the title of "the longest-lived man on earth", but it was doubted and denied by the "Guinness Book of World Records" at the time, and it was later confirmed after many researches.

The reason why Yu Shan paid attention to this long-lived old man was naturally not only because of his longevity, but why he lived long.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan's dictation of "immortality" published in the journal "Qigong" is the focus of Yu Shan's research.

In the article "Self-Statement", Li Qingyuan believes that people's life span is long and short, which is dominated by vitality. Yuanqi, also known as Yuanqi, is endowed by the innate and nurtured by the glory of the acquired. It originates from the kidneys, is hidden in the dantian, and reaches the whole body through the three cokes (upper, middle and lower coke) to promote the activities of all organs and tissues such as the five internal organs and six internal organs, and is the source of biochemical power.

It is also because of this exposition that Yu Shan is more determined to cultivate the meridian flow note, Li Qingyuan's immortality decision, and Yu Shan's cultivation of the meridian flow note, are all exercises to promote the five internal organs of the whole body and nourish all the organs of the body, and its fundamental cultivation is vitality.

It's just that Li Qingyuan understands it more thoroughly than Yu Shan, for example, Li Qingyuan vividly compares loving and not caring for vitality to the location of candles.

If the lit candle is placed in a cage, it will burn for a long time; If it is left in the wind and rain, the time will be short or extinguished, and the same is true for the way of health preservation.

Li Qingyuan admired Lao Tzu's words very much: "Don't work for your form, don't shake your essence, don't make your thoughts linger." Lack of thought to nourish the spirit, few desires to nourish the essence, few words to nourish the qi. ”

He said that the essence of this is often ignored by mediocre people who are not good at health preservation.

He also admired a passage from the Qing Dynasty scholar Lu Longqi: "Enough firewood and rice, carefree, finish the official food early, do not be shocked or humiliated, do not owe debts and make profits, do not enter the pawn court, only clear tea and light rice, you can prolong your life." ”

Li Qingyuan said: "This is the true secret of health preservation, and the good recipe for longevity." You can live forever without having to pick elixirs or alchemy."

Based on the health preservation theory of the ancients, he especially emphasized that those who are good at health preservation must take the four words of kindness, thrift, harmony and tranquility as the foundation.

Li Qingyuan said when talking about his health experience: "If you can't eat enough, if you are too full, your stomach will hurt; You can't sleep too long, and if you sleep too long, your essence will dissipate. For more than 200 years of his life, he never ate too much food, nor did he sleep too long. ”

"Hunger, cold, and itching, parents can't replace them, old age and sickness die, and wives can't replace them. Only the way of self-love and self-fulfillment is the criterion and key to health preservation. ”

He also talked about the precautions for the details of life.

He pointed out that people are often impatient when it comes to small things, which will inevitably hurt their bodies.

He warned people that if they are not careful with the cold and warmth, if they walk too badly, if they drink and lust, they will all hurt their bodies, and if they are so bad, they will die.

Therefore, according to the health preservation techniques of the ancestors, the eyes are not fast, the eyes are not short, the ears are not extremely hearing, the sitting is not tired, and the lying is not inhaled; It is necessary to dress first in the cold, relieve the heat first, eat first when hungry, drink first when thirsty, have a few appetites, and do not want to eat more; There should be no joy, anger, sorrow and joy in their hearts, and no thoughts of wealth, honor and disgrace. This is the way to longevity.

Through these records, Yu Shan knew that this old man Li Qingyuan was most likely an innate qi refiner, so it was normal for him to live to be more than two hundred years old.

Of course, he may also be a master of cultivating the Taoist art of quiet and non-action, pursuing tranquility and far-reaching, quiet and inaction, so that he can live a long life.

"Can you live forever if you are quiet and do nothing?" Yu Shui finally raised a question.

Yu Shan explained: "In the health preservation technique, a large branch is quiet and inaction, especially when there is no practice practice, most of them pursue this realm, no fighting, no desire, no desire, peace of mind, this is the foundation of health preservation, however, such a cultivation method, ordinary people can not do it." ”

"Since there is no desire and no desire, what do you want to live forever? Or longevity? Since we seek longevity, we naturally do not have no desires. Pang Tong said.

Yu Shan shook his head and said: "You think that people's usual state of mind is no desire and no desire, not the pursuit of immortality, but the sequelae of no desire and no desire is longevity, so they don't have too much utilitarian heart, so they can be quiet and inactive." (To be continued.) )
