Turning to the history books of the Mongol Empire, readers will find an intriguing phenomenon. Through the hereditary tables of the Mongol Empire and the affiliated khanates, we can know that the life span of the profuse dynasties is not too long. The founder of the empire, Genghis Khan, was about 65 years old at the time of his death. Among the Mongolian nobles, the life expectancy of Genghis Khan’s four sons did not exceed 60 years. Among them, the youngest son Tuoling and the eldest son Shuchi were both at 40. Died around the age of.
If it is said that during the war years, the Mongolian aristocrats suffered from poor health in their old age due to the long battlefields and bed and sleep. It is understandable, but after the expansion of the Mongol Empire, they sweated profusely. Instead, the life span is shorter. When the third great sweat of the Mongolian Empire, Guiyou, who was only 42 years old, died of illness, historians of Central Asia began to notice a disease that often appeared in the descendants of Genghis Khan, and this disease is still present. More common gout.
In "The Collection of History" written by the famous historian of the Yier Khanate, Rasht, it was recorded that Guiyouhan was suffering from severe gout, when Guiyouhan and Batu of the Golden Horde After the conflict broke out, he once led the army to the Qincha grassland to "rest" on the grounds that the climate of the Qincha grassland was suitable for him to recuperate. However, he died on the march of the Golden Horde expedition. In fact, what Guiyuhan may not have thought of is that the great sweats of the Golden Horde are the most troubled by gout. The Golden Horde and his sons both suffer from severe gout. It is said that even Batu’s The death of his father, Zhu Chi, was also related to the torment of gout.
In the history books written by ancient Central Asian scholars, it has been described that the Golden Horde’s profuse sweats in the past, many of them have been tortured by pain in their legs in their later years. Central Asians also believe this The disease is a genetic disease of the Genghis Khan family, because during that period, most members of the golden family suffered from this disease. Gout has a great impact on those Mongolian sweats. After the gout worsened, they could not ride horses, and even had difficulty in walking, so that they often took command in chariots when fighting against the enemy. Soldiers fight.
The reason why Mongolian nobles suffer from gout in large numbers is also related to the change in their living environment. When the expansion of the Mongolian Empire ended, many profuse sweats lived a pampered life, and they lived a drunken golden fan. Life, and the body is getting fatter. Obesity and alcohol addiction are important causes of gout. As we all know, nomads living on the grassland have always liked drinking. Mongolian nobles are no exception. Many profuse sweats are addicted to alcohol, such as Genghis Khan. The third son of Wo Kuotai died of excessive drinking.
Before the establishment of the Mongolian Empire, due to the harsh environment on the grasslands, those Mongolian nobles rarely had obesity. In the history books of the Song Dynasty, Mongolia was recorded Most people are lean, and there are few obese people. But when the Mongols conquered Eurasia, it was not only the territory of the empire that expanded rapidly, but also the belly of those Mongolian sweats. After Kublai Khan, most of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were obese, and the Mongolian sweats of other khanates also generally had this phenomenon. Many sweats were unable to ride horses because of their obesity.
The obesity of the Mongolian great khan still existed until the 16th century. When Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire in India, dealt with the Mongolian nobles in his early years, he recorded that most of the Mongolian nobles were speech Humorous fat man. The main reason why Mongolian sweats are becoming obese is that their living environment has improved and their diets have begun to diversify, especially in Central Asia. Because the locals like to eat high-calorie sweets, the Mongolian nobles in Central Asia After assimilation, he soon fell in love with the local food.
It is precisely because of drinking and obesity that caused gout to become the "epidemic" of Mongolian sweating, and it also made the scholars in Central Asia mistakenly believe that this disease is Genghis Khan. Family genetic disease. is also suffering from gout in their later years, leading to the rapid deterioration of the health of those Mongolian sweats, which is one of the reasons why many of them have shorter life spans.
Because the Persians in Central Asia and West AsiaRabers seldom drink alcohol, so they rarely suffer from gout. When faced with gout in their country, medical scientists in Central Asia often warn them to give up alcohol, but rarely Khan will really get rid of alcohol addiction, and the doctors in Central Asia can only do nothing for them. The Yuan Dynasty’s imperial physician used Chinese medicine to treat Kublai’s gout. However, Kublai continued to drink alcohol in his later years and his gout gradually worsened, but Kublai still lived to be 80 years old. He is the ruler with the longest lifespan in the Yuan Dynasty.
