Speaking of Emperor Qianlong, most people must know a lot about him. The name Ganlong is well known, but Ganlong's real name is Aisingiorro? Li Hong, Aisin Giro? In A.D. 1736, Li Hong ascended the throne, and the emperor's title was Emperor Gaozong, while "Qianlong" was only the title of Emperor Gaozong in Qing Dynasty. In ancient times, people called the emperor by his title. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, people used to call the emperor by the title of incumbent emperor.
Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne at the age of 24 and reigned for 60 years, only one year less than his grandfather Emperor Kangxi. But in fact, after he was granted the throne for 60 years after Qianlong, he became the emperor's father for more than three years and still held the state power. Therefore, the actual power of Emperor Qianlong should be more than 63 years, and he is a real "longevity emperor".
During his reign, Qianlong did a lot of great things, which should be clear to anyone who knows a little about Qing history or has seen Qianlong's historical dramas. For example, the pacification of Junggar ensured the stability of the northwest region of the Qing Dynasty. Under his auspices, hundreds of scholars, led by Ji Yun (Ji Xiaolan), a contemporary college student, have compiled The Complete Book of Siku for more than ten years. Little-known is that, in addition to his great achievements in politics, he also likes to write poems and fu, and he also has great enthusiasm for literature.
He wrote more than 40 thousand poems in his life, which is enough to show his love for poetry. But the problem is that we are no strangers to ancient poetry. We can recite the poems of many poets at will, such as Li Bai and Du Fu, and there are also many poets in Qing Dynasty, such as Gong Zizhen, Nalan Xingde and Zheng Banqiao. We can also say that their poems are familiar to everyone, but why are the poems of the famous emperor Qing Qianlong handed down from generation to generation?
In fact, Gan Long wrote thousands of poems in his life. Of course, none of them can pass the quality inspection. A poem written by him is simple in language but rich in emotion, so it was selected as a primary school Chinese textbook. Which poem is it?
Speaking of this poem, I have to mention the emotional story of Emperor Qianlong. In the TV series Princess Zhu Huan watched by men, women and children, a girl named Xia left a deep impression on us. Gan Long will never forget this girl, but this is only a dramatic interpretation. In fact, there is no such girl. So in history, did Gan Long ever love a woman?
Of course, that's Queen Fu Cha. Before she became emperor, Gan Long and she became husband and wife, so their relationship was very deep. As long as it is a child born in Fu Cha, Gan Long regards this child as the future heir. However, contrary to expectations, Fu Cha gave birth to two children, both of whom died unfortunately. As a woman, she suffered such pain twice and finally died of sadness and depression. As for why the child died young, the reason is inconclusive. Perhaps it was limited by the production environment at that time, or it may have been murdered. The reason has long been buried by the sandstorm of history.
After the death of Fu Cha, Gan Long was extremely sad, and his initial love turned into nothingness. Later, even if there were not many beautiful women in the harem, it was difficult for Gan Long to show his true feelings. Since then, Gan Long has missed Fu Cha all his life and wrote many poems for Fu Cha. These poems are full of his endless yearning for Queen Fu Cha, and his feelings are particularly real. Therefore, when reading these mourning poems, he can feel Gan Long. Among the more than 40,000 poems written by Emperor Qianlong in his life, except for these poems commemorating the Queen, the others are not worth mentioning, but one very classic poem was selected as the primary school Chinese textbook, that is, Flying Snow.
The song "Flying Snow" written by Gan Long looks simple on the surface, but its artistic conception is beautiful. The first three sentences "one piece is 89 pieces" are very popular, as if counting the number of snowflakes falling, while the last sentence is the finishing touch, which perfectly expounds the beautiful scenery of snowflakes falling between reeds and white reeds in heavy snow. It can be said that the classic of this poem lies in the finishing touch of the last sentence, but there are rumors that the last sentence of this poem was not written by Qianlong himself, but one winter, Qianlong and his ministers went out to enjoy the snow together, and saw the heavy snow in the sky. Qianlong casually recited the first three sentences, but the last sentence did not know how to end. After thinking for a long time, Ji Xiaolan, a college student aside, successfully picked up the last sentence, so he got this poem.
In this way, Gan Long's poetry level is really not so good. But after all, Qianlong is an emperor, and more importantly, he brings a happy life to the people. At this point, Ganlong has done a good job.
