The only queen in Chinese history who enjoyed meditation and calligraphy, lived in harmony with nature and lived to the age of 81.

Wu Zetian was one of China's longest-reigning and longest-lived emperors. In the 7th and 8th centuries, the queen's longevity of 81 was very rare, according toIfengIn fact, ignoring the autocratic despotism that history recorded about an emperor in a feudal society with the ideology of "men are superior to women", Wu Zetian is said to be a person who paid great attention to health care.

Meditate

According to history, Wu Zetian became a nun for 5 years. Every day she chanted sutras, practiced health exercises, and practiced qigong.

Researchers believe that meditation is a natural therapy that helps maintain physical and mental health in silence. The method that Vo Tac Thien practiced not only has the effect of increasing resistance and fighting against diseases, but also increases longevity, helping the soul to be pure and relaxed.

Practice calligraphy

Wu Zetian was talented in calligraphy. Her work “The Ascension of the Prince” is the oldest work of calligraphy in China. When reading Wu Zetian’s calligraphy book, calligraphy critics all said: “The strokes exude the temperament of a gentleman, truly a heroic woman.”

Experts say that when writing calligraphy, the joints of the fingers move rhythmically with the strokes of the pen, helping to regulate blood and breathing, adjusting the finger muscles and nerves. Practicing calligraphy a lot can prevent stroke - one of the common diseases in ancient times. The reason is that when writing, the muscles will move together, maintaining blood circulation in the body.

Natural lifestyle

Among the Chinese emperors, Wu Zetian was the one who always attached great importance to health care based on natural principles. Her eating and sleeping habits were all in accordance with nature, in accordance with her psychological and physiological needs, without forcing or going against her own needs.

Wu Zetian left behind anecdotes about extraordinary beauty and health care. Among them, motherwort is an important oriental medicine that she used a lot in beauty recipes. The Queen often used motherwort to wash her face and apply on her face.
