The average life span of Chinese emperors throughout the dynasties was 39.2 years.

In Chinese history, 83 dynasties appeared in one period, and there were 559 emperors in China.

Among the Chinese emperors in the past dynasties, there were many short-lived emperors due to early death, being tired of political affairs or indulging in sexual pleasures.

Among emperors over 60 years old, it is generally believed that the longest-lived emperor in Chinese history is Gaozong Aixinjueluo Hongli (Emperor Qianlong) of the Qing Dynasty, who died at the age of 89.

It is said that the longest-lived one is Zhao Tuo, Emperor Wu of South Vietnam, who died at the age of more than 100 years old, but there are big questions about its credibility; emperors over 80 years old include Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (89 years old), Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Xiao Yan (86 years old),

Wu Zetian and Wu Zhao (82 years old), Song Gaozong Zhao Gou (81 years old), Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan (80 years old).

There are 11 people over 70 years old and 30 people over 60 years old.

Extended information: Reasons for the short life of emperors: 1. Never exercise. Most emperors never left the palace in their lives due to safety issues.

Because of his high and low status, the emperor rarely participated in group activities.

The famous Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong in history, although both of them went to Jiangnan six times and went to Mulan Paddock nearly 40 times, Kangxi lived to be 69 years old, and Qianlong lived to be a record-breaking 89 years old.

2. Taking elixirs randomly The emperor hoped that he could live forever. Many people helped the emperor refine the "elixir", such as Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Yongzheng and other promising kings in history.

These so-called "elixirs" are just harmful substances containing lead. If taken for a long time, your health will not be guaranteed and your life will be short.

3. Staying up all night In order to manage the huge China, they usually work day and night. There are many such desperate emperors in history.

For example, Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty went to bed at 11 o'clock in the evening and got up at 3 o'clock in the morning. He only rested for 4 hours a day, day after day.

4. Psychological tension For the emperor, after gaining the highest power, his heart was always tense. He was worried about invasion by foreign enemies, someone usurping the throne, and even more worried about villains committing crimes. He was on high alert.

5. Obsessed with women. The emperor has supreme power and has countless beauties in his harem, so it is very easy to become addicted to women.

However, too much sexual intercourse can also harm the body, and many emperors have died because of this in history.

6. Limited medical level. Compared with today, the medical level in ancient times was definitely very different and very backward. Some problems that seem to be minor now may have been in ancient times.

Therefore, the average life span of ancient emperors was shorter, and the backwardness of medical standards had a lot to do with it.
