Why did the nine emperors of the Qing Dynasty all die in winter?

I think it is a coincidence that nine emperors of the Qing Dynasty all died in winter. Doesn't mean the emperor can't survive the winter.

Although you are the emperor and the son of heaven, people eat whole grains, and the emperor is also flesh and blood. How can you not get sick, how can you not get sick and die? The emperor is no exception. As for the emperors, they all died in winter, which is purely accidental coincidence.

From a seasonal point of view, winter is often the season of high incidence of various diseases. Emperor Kangxi, whom we are familiar with, died in the winter of June +0654381October+March, Emperor Guangxu and Emperor Tongzhi also died in February+February, 65438, and all three emperors died in the severe winter. Emperor Kangxi was 69 when he died. Although he was an emperor, he was very old at that time, and his resistance would decline when he was old. Besides, it is very cold in winter, and the warm-keeping measures are not as good as now. The cold climate has changed his physical function, and he can't resist the invasion of diseases well. Emperor Kangxi was old and weak, and it was normal for him to die in winter.

Both Tongzhi and Shunzhi emperors died of infectious diseases. The medical level in Qing dynasty was not as developed as it is now. Today, some ailments will kill people at that time. Smallpox is a highly contagious disease, which occurs in winter and the weather is very cold. In addition, when people are sick, their resistance will drop and their medical level will not keep up. Weak body, cold weather, medical level can't keep up, which eventually led to Tongzhi and Shunzhi's death in winter.

In fact, as can be seen from the above examples, the reason why these dead emperors died in winter is not simply because of the season. Limited by oneself and the medical level at that time. So it's just a coincidence that nine emperors of the Qing Dynasty all died in winter.
