2. However, according to the records in Guoyu and Shiji, Peng Zu really exists and is famous for his long life. Ge Hong, a medical scientist in the Jin Dynasty, also wrote a biography for Peng Zu. It is said in the book that Peng Zu lived 700 years at the end of Yin Dynasty, and the King of Yin specially asked him to introduce the way of longevity.

Peng Zu is not only the oldest old man in ancient China, the founder of health-preserving culture in China, but also the ancestor of China kitchen, the originator of China martial arts culture and a famous qigong master in China history. However, because there is no unified standard for calculating the number of years in ancient times, 800 years old in ancient times is not necessarily 800 years old in modern times. For example, in Pengshan area, there is a popular method of making friends in rural areas, that is, 60 days is a year. According to this calculation method, Peng Zu actually only lived to 1, about 30 years old. But even so, Peng Zu lived for a long time, both ancient and modern.
