Presumably everyone has seen a lot of costume TV dramas, the ancients in them are beautifully dressed, and it is not uncommon for people in their 60s or 70s. In fact, the average life expectancy of the ancients was very short. Affected by wars and medical conditions at that time, diet, daily life, and heavy daily labor, they only had an average life expectancy of more than ten to thirty. Some friends may say that Confucius has lived more than seventy years old, but it is an exception after all. The seventies in ancient times are at least equivalent to the one hundred and ten years old now. Ancient emperors were also relatively short-lived, not to mention ordinary people. So what is the average life span of the ancients? I have compiled some information here for your reference.
1, Xia and Shang period 18 years old,
2, Zhou and Qin were about 20 years old,
3, Han Dynasty 22 years old,
4, Tang Dynasty 27 years old
5, Song Dynasty 30 years old,
6 , Qing Dynasty 33 years old,
7, about 35 years old in the Republic of China.
8. After the founding of New China, according to surveys, the average life expectancy of the Chinese people has increased to 57 years in 1957. By 1981 it was 68 years old, in 1985 it was 68.97 years old, of which 66.96 were males and 66.96 females. 70.98 years old. (The above data comes from "Average Life and Life Expectancy of Chinese People in Past Dynasties" by Lin Wanxiao in "Life and Disaster" in 1996. Life expectancy is indeed not long. Since the founding of New China, our average life expectancy has only begun to increase substantially. All this is due to the fact that we live in an era of peace and no wars and can have time to enrich our cultural life and health regimen, and truly live for ourselves.
