So, he kept this question in his heart for a while,
and asked old lady Jiang,
“Grandma Jiang, how long has your ancestor lived to death?”
The old woman said,
“My ancestors were born in Xiantong in 863 AD.”
“He died four years ago and lived to be one hundred and thirteen years old.”
“Since Meng Laozu’s wife and children were buried in the middle of the back mountain,
my family’s ancestors were buried at the foot of the back mountain after death.”
“They are all buried at the foot of the mountain.”
Charlie couldn’t hold his breath,
“That old man lived to be 113 years old, minus the 40 year life span from the two rejuvenation pills,
he also lived alone to 73 years. .”
“At that time, It’s very rare.”
According to the unreliable statistics of some scholars,
the average life expectancy of the Tang Dynasty was around 40 or even 50 years.
However, their statistics and research are very one-sided,
they only calculate the ages of the people recorded when they died from the epitaphs that can be found,
and recorded history books, and then calculated what is called the average age.
But they ignored the big deal, those who could leave their names in the history books,
owning a tombstone and having someone carve a tombstone was the elite class of that era.
Moreover, many children who died young and unmarried youth,
did not leave a tombstone after his death,
let alone the common people who died and hastily buried him with straw mats.
Therefore, the elite class’ average life expectancy calculated by the elite class is meaningless.
Verifiable history shows that the average life expectancy of Tang Dynasty emperors was only about 44 years.
It is the most elite grade in the Tang Dynasty and gathers the country’s best living and production tools.
Forty four years.
Many objective scholars believe that if infant and young child mortality rates are high
and the average life expectancy of an ordinary person are included,
the true average life expectancy of the Tang Dynasty should be around 30 years.
Calculated in this way, the old woman’s family ancestor lived to be seventy-three years old in her own body,
which was longer than any emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
This is already very extraordinary.
At this time, Madam Jiang also nodded and sighed,
“It is recorded in the genealogy that when my ancestor was 113 years old,
he is not deaf, his eyes are not blurry, and his body is still strong.
Everyone thought he would. lived to be 120 years old.”
“At ten years old, but at one hundred and thirteen years old,
one day he had dinner and sat down in front of a charcoal fire to take a nap,
when he suddenly said excitedly that Old Ancestor Meng had sent a white crane to fetch him,
and died with a smile on his face after speaking. “
Charlie said
“It seems that your ancestor really has a deep connection with that ancestor Meng.
