The original text is "Flowers and the Reopening of Three Seven Years; There is also a spring and autumn festival in the celebration of ancient and rare times. It was the old man who was given a thousand banquets by Emperor Qianlong, 14 1 year-old, and it took sixty years. Ancient and rare, especially seventy years old. These are both idioms. This pair of couplets was written when Emperor Qianlong and Ji Xiaolan held a grand banquet in Qing Palace to celebrate an old man's 141st birthday. In addition to idioms, it has also been calculated. Flowers bloom again, that is, two sixties 3721. The celebration of the ancient and the rare, that is, two seventies. The couplets all say 14 1 year.
On the sixth day of the first month of the 50th year of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong held a grand banquet in Gan Qing Palace, and 62-year-old Ji Xiaolan was also invited to attend.
How did the banquet come about? It turned out that the sacred ancestor Emperor Kangxi held a grand banquet to show the martial arts of Wenzhi and world peace and celebrate the great integration of many ethnic groups. Most of them are highly respected, over 65 years old, and both officials and citizens can participate. According to their age, they staged a grand banquet for three days, which was very lively. The banquet was held four times, the first time in the 52nd year of Kangxi and the second time in the 60th year of Kangxi. The second thousand banquets coincided with Kangxi's accession to the throne. In addition to the three emperors and five emperors in myths and legends, Emperor Kangxi ruled the world in an unprecedented way, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only reigned for 55 years. Emperor Qianlong was only 12 years old at that time. Seeing such a grand banquet scene, he remembered it deeply, so when he was in office for 50 years, he also followed the example of Emperor Kangxi and held grand banquets for the elderly all over the country. The county stipulated that anyone over 60 could attend.
On that day, more than 3000 people attended the banquet. There are more than 3400 poems sung by monarch and minister. Everyone who attended the banquet was rewarded by the emperor. Gifts include Ruyi longevity stick, amulet, mink, Wan Wen, silver medal, etc. The oldest person to attend this banquet is 14 1 year-old birthday girl. When Emperor Qianlong met the old birthday girl, he had a whim and sang the first couplet: "The ancient celebration adds another year of spring and autumn." Let the officials sing the second couplet, and at that time everyone was tongue-tied and couldn't answer. At this moment, Ji Xiaolan slowly came forward and shouted: "Flowers reopen, adding 37th anniversary; There is another spring and autumn festival in the ancient celebration. " Everyone is cooing. Emperor Qianlong was very happy and immediately presented gifts.
