Because Qianlong liked these works very much, he would write and draw on these works. Qianlong was a very confident emperor. He believed that he was rich in knowledge and rich in the world. These works now belong to him, and he can write whatever he wants on them. As a perfect king, writing poems and paintings on these works does not insult these works, but rather honors them.
Many people mention Qianlong and say that he was a literary young man. He especially liked writing poems and wrote more than 30,000 poems in his life. He is now a top literary giant. His output is very high, with an average of one poem a day. No wonder many people complain that although he has many poems, the quality is not very good.
I always feel that Qianlong wrote poems as if he were recording his life. He wrote a poem when his wife died, a poem when a friend died, and another when he was in a better mood. No wonder the output is so high. Qianlong seems to be posting on WeChat Moments. He has to express his feelings about everything, but the method is relatively high-end. It is a pity that Qianlong's poems do not give people a stunning feeling, and few people can recite his poems.
In addition to loving to write poems, Qianlong was also particularly keen on writing and stamping other people's works. He has a lot of seals in his life. No wonder he likes to stamp other people's works, otherwise these seals would be in vain. The most exaggerated thing is that more than 80 seals were stamped on Wang Xianzhi's (Mid-Autumn Festival post). When Wang Xianzhi found out, he would probably think that it was fortunately my work. If it were my father's, you would be crazy. Later, the work of "Sage of Calligraphy" Wang Xizhi was even more exaggerated. Not only was it covered with seals, but the word "神" was written on it. Did Qianlong want to compare his calligraphy with the calligrapher, or was he praising him for his good writing?
