Qianlong's real name was "Aixin Jiao Ma Huang Li", born in 1711, died in 1779, lived to be 89 years old, was the fourth prince of Yongzheng. Qianlong had 3 queens (Fucha, Wula Nala and Wei Jia), 11 noble concubines, 6 concubines and 19 concubines. He gave birth to 17 princes and 10 princesses. The average life expectancy of emperors in China is only 39.2 years, but Qianlong lived to be 89 years old, one of the 3 Chinese emperors with the longest life expectancy (Liang Wu Di Xiao Yan, lived to be 86 years old and Wu Zetian, lived to be 82 years old) because he had a secret to health preservation according to 4 principles, with 16 words: "Purify the heart and lungs, exercise the muscles, practice ten needs and four abstinences and take the right tonics". Every morning, he practiced breathing to purify the heart and lungs. He practiced walking and climbing to exercise the muscles. The 10 things to do are: Knocking teeth, swallowing saliva, stroking ears, stroking nose, rubbing eyes, massaging face, massaging feet, rubbing abdomen, stretching arms and legs and practicing anal muscle contractions. The 4 abstinences are: Do not talk while eating, do not chat while sleeping, do not get drunk when drinking, do not be too infatuated with sex. He followed the proverb of that time: "Alcohol is poison for the liver/Lust is a sharp knife cutting people's tendons". The 4th principle is to know how to take the right tonic. The tonics that Qianlong often used were: Nourishing the kidneys and nourishing yang, nourishing the spleen and stomach, promoting qi, laxative and clearing heat and cooling blood, depending on the season and weather. Qianlong was a multi-talented, multi-skilled person, loved literature, traveling... so his spirit was always refreshed. Practicing calligraphy is also practicing health. Because, when practicing calligraphy, you must concentrate your thoughts, your mind must not be agitated, when drawing, your heart must be calm, your energy must be harmonious, and you must concentrate all your mind on the strokes.
King Minh Mang and King Can Long were two famous kings of the Nguyen Dynasty (Vietnam) and the Thanh Dynasty (China).
When talking about tonics for kings, we cannot miss the "aphrodisiacs" with the effects of strengthening the kidneys, strengthening yang, and enhancing physiology... But Qianlong was a knowledgeable person, so he knew how to choose and use them, in accordance with his principle of "not being too infatuated with the world of lust". Among the aphrodisiacs that Qianlong often used, we can list them in chronological order as follows:
The “Gia Linh Tap” recipe, which contains sparrow meat, is used to replenish strength, restore vitality, strengthen the kidneys, and benefit the essence and marrow. Based on the principle of the Gia Linh Tap recipe, Minh Mang created “Nhat da luc giao sinh ngu tu” or “Nhat da ngu giao sinh tu tu”. Minh Mang also said “nhat da luc giao tam huu dung” meaning 6 times in one night, 3 times have children.
Next is the "A To Co" recipe, according to the remaining documents, is a medicine prescribed by famous doctors for Genghis Khan - Mongolia, including 3 ingredients: Thien Son Tuyet Lien, sea seal testicles and blood of a tailless pheasant in Mongolia. Thien Son Tuyet Lien, also known as Tuyet Lien Hoa or also known as "lotus seed buried in the ground". Legend has it that eating the flowers of this plant can make you walk naked in the snow. This snow chrysanthemum only blooms at night, when the plant grows above the snow, picking the flowers and making resin is the medicine Thien Son Tuyet Lien. The tailless pheasant in Mongolia is a bird with a very strange and longest sexual cycle, lasting from the beginning to the end of the moon, the male sticks to the female on the tree, when tired, falls into the river, drifting for dozens of miles, only when they stop making love do they release each other. This medicine was passed down by Tu Anh Minh to Kang Xi, later Ung Chinh. During the reign of Can Long, it was prepared by Lamas into pill form, for easy preservation. Each time you take 1 pill, the effect lasts all night. When a healthy person takes it, it increases pleasure, but if they are weak and abuse it, the medicine will "struggle" them to the point of permanent disability and impotence. That is why there is advice "don't be too infatuated with the world of sex". Nowadays, also based on the principle of the A To Co formula, China adds ginseng to prepare "Trung Hoa Manh Nam" and "Hai Ma Tam Than Hoan".
The Royal Medicine of Qianlong, including the penis and testicles of 5 animals: black dog, tiger, monkey, cow and seal, mixed with walnut and ginseng. In our country, “ngau pin” is the name of the penis and testicles, usually of dogs, goats, cows, horses, deer… It has a salty taste, hot properties, contains male hormones, so it has the effect of benefiting sperm, strengthening yang, nourishing the kidneys, treating kidney failure, hypogonadism, impotence, spermatorrhea, back pain, knee pain, and is often used in 3 forms:
Powder form: Wash the above herbs, chop them finely, dry them, and grind them into a fine powder. Take 5g twice a day.
Liquid form: Chop finely, cook with wine, add a little sugar or honey, and simmer until thick. Drink 2 times a day, 15ml each time with warm water.
Wine form: Cut into pieces, dry, soak with 10 times of wine, use after 15 days. Drink 2 times a day, 30ml each time.
The medicinal herb “Cẩu Thận” (Penis ét testis Canis) in Traditional Medicine is the penis or testicles of dogs, dried or dried, to treat kidney yang deficiency, impotence, spermatorrhea... Use 4-12g per day in the form of powdered pills, or soaked in alcohol. In addition, dog meat (cẩu nhục), dog heart and blood are also traditional medicines... Hai Thuong Lan Ong wrote as follows: “Cẩu nhục is commonly called dog meat/Non-toxic, warm, sour and salty taste/Strengthens yang, nourishes the kidneys, and nourishes typhoid/Warms the taste, strengthens the back, and strengthens the marrow”. Dog meat is both a delicious nutritious food and a good medicine for people with cold blood, people who have just recovered from illness... In Vietnam, there is almost no experience using dog meat to make medicine. In China, dog meat cooked with turmeric, galangal, star anise, cinnamon or tangerine peel... has the effect of reducing pain, especially for cold stomach pain. Dog meat stewed with ginseng and lotus seeds is a tonic for people who have just recovered from illness, are weak, mentally exhausted, and have poor blood circulation. Dog meat stewed with radish and fresh ginger cures stomach pain… Stones in a dog’s stomach (very rare) cure hiccups, vomiting, boils, poisoning…
Monkey bones, also known as “monkey bones”, have been processed into monkey glue and are quite commonly used. In addition, blood spirit and monkey gallstones are also valuable medicinal herbs. Blood spirit is a blood tonic for women after giving birth, losing blood, or being weak. Adults should take 3-5g, with warm water or soaked in alcohol. To reduce the fishy smell, you can add a little bit of fake ginger. In the mountains, during the monkey birthing season (June - July), go to the rocky cliffs where monkeys often sit after giving birth, scrape off the dried black blood clots, break them into pieces, remove impurities, dry them, and grind them into powder when using. As for gallstones, in China they are used to treat high fever, convulsions, poisoning, coughs, and edema. Penis is used as an aphrodisiac…
Seals are pinnipeds. Seal penises have the function of producing sperm, but are extremely fishy because they contain a lot of semen. Seal penises contain a large amount of the male hormone testosterone, which has the effect of regulating sex hormones, increasing physiological ability, especially increasing the ability to "start" sexual activity... but the entire genitals must be used, including the penis and 2 testicles. Currently, it is sold on Phu Quoc island, but there are 2 sources of supply: Myanmar and Canada, but the source
North American goods, collected from Greenland seals, are very rare, mainly the type collected from grey seals ( Halichoerus grypus ). Nowadays, seal penises are also counterfeited, with prices reaching up to 280 - 330 USD/dried ounce. There are 2 types of counterfeit goods: real seal penises but with all the essence extracted, and the other type is made from cow penises to make seal penises.
Nowadays, in China, the "Royal Medicine" prescription of Qianlong has been prepared into the medicine "nine ox and two tigers decoction" which is an extremely strong aphrodisiac./.
