What is the average life expectancy of ancient people in China?

The average life span of the ancients depends on the times, related to the national strength and national policy at that time, and also related to whether it was in a war era.

Generally speaking, the average life expectancy is around 30 years old. This data is mainly based on Xu Shilian's "Outline of Population Theory" in the Republic of China and 1936 age-specific mortality statistics published by the Ministry of Industry.

But this figure was lowered by the amazing mortality rate in ancient times. Early death means zero life expectancy, and high mortality will pull the average life expectancy to a very low level.

If you don't consider premature death and live in old age, the average life expectancy will probably reach more than 50 years old.

Moreover, in ancient cities and villages, the average life expectancy of the poor and the rich was not small. The average life expectancy of the ancients was over 30 years old, which does not mean that the ancients could live to be over 30 years old, and it is normal to live to be 80 years old.
