Gan Long lasted sixteen years (175 1), twenty-two years (1757), twenty-seven years (1762), thirty years (1765) and forty-five years (1788). He sailed south along the Grand Canal. Cities on both sides of the Grand Canal, such as Jining and Wuxi, naturally stopped his tour. Besides, he visited many beautiful cities, such as Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhenjiang and Nanjing.
Its route is basically the same. Let's take the fourth southern tour in the thirty years of Qianlong (1765) as an example to get a glimpse of the whole leopard.
On the 16th day of the first month, when the Empress Dowager Qianlong set off from Beijing and went to Dezhou Prefecture in Shandong Province, she gave purses of different sizes and two small purses to people who came to pick up poems.
On the eighth day of February, Gan Long entered Jiangsu from Shandong, reduced some soldiers and most accompanying vehicles in Shunheji, Suqian, and then crossed the Yellow River in Xujiaji.
Qianlong inspected the river affairs at Qingkou, where Huanghuai meets, and began to sail along the canal by boat.
The fleet crossed the Yangtze River from Jingkou. On February 25th, Gan Long stationed in Suzhou, giving six classes of LaXianHe soldiers (600 people in each class) money and food in January. Gan Long visited various gardens in Suzhou and visited Lingyan Mountain for eight days.
On the third day of leap February, Gan Long started from Suzhou, continued along the canal, arrived in Youmen Town, Jiaxing, took a boat to Haining to see the seawall, and then boarded the boat.
On the seventh day, Gan Long arrived in Hangzhou, ending his trip. Gan Long visited Fujian Navy in Guanchao Building, Hangzhou, visited the beautiful scenery of the West Lake and wrote poems, and stayed for 12 days.
On February 19, Gan Longfeng returned to the Empress Dowager. On February 23, when he arrived in Suzhou, Qianlong liked the scenery of Suzhou very much, and after playing for six days, he reluctantly left.
After Ganlong arrived in Zhenjiang, he visited Jinshan, Jiao Shan and other places of interest in the Yangtze River to commemorate the Queen Mother crossing the river twice.
On the third day of March, Qianlong landed in jiangning house (now Nanjing) from the Yangtze River, offered a drink to Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum and visited the weaving machine room.
On the 10th day of March, Qianlong left Jiangning, crossed the river by the Queen Mother of Qili Port, and then returned by the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Canal.
On March 19, Qianlong went to Qingkou at the junction of the Yellow River, Huaihe River and Yunhe River, and after checking the high weir dam of Hongze Lake, crossed the Yellow River.
In the past, he went to Shunheji, and all the boats docked at Gan Long Restaurant. This time, he continued to sail with the Empress Dowager, from Jining and Linqing to Dezhou.
On April 13th, Qianlong went ashore from Texas, and Empress Dowager Cixi returned to Beijing by sea.
On April 21st, Gan Long went to Beijing first, and four days later, the Empress Dowager also returned to Beijing.
-
This southern tour began on the 16th day of the first month and ended on April 25th when the Empress Dowager returned to Beijing. More than April (February is a leap month), totaling 126 days, which is the longest of the six southern tours.
Tianjin is generally the first place to stay in Qianlong's previous southern tours; Go south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and pass through Yangzhou; As for Zhenjiang, it is certain that it arrived on the fifth southern tour in the forty-five years of Qianlong (1780). In addition, in some places, due to the resistance of honest officials, Qianlong failed to make a trip. For example, on the fourth southern tour we just mentioned, Qianlong originally planned to go from Hangzhou to Huzhou, but because Zhao, the magistrate of Shaoxing, was in the way (throwing wood and stones into the river where the imperial ship was going to pass, it took time to dredge), Qianlong's trip failed.
Qianlong went to Jiangnan for six times and went to Nanhu Island for eight times. In other words, every time he went to the south of the Yangtze River, he visited the South Lake, and his third and fourth trips back to Beijing all landed on the island in the middle of the lake. At present, there are still two Ganlong poems on the island in the middle of the lake, and there are four poems 14 of Ganlong's poems about the misty rain tower in South Lake. Among them, there is a poem in the East Emperor's Monument Pavilion: "If it is not Penglai Island, it is a square pot, which is weak and fresh. Smoke vaguely like rain, the news of the lake to the West Lake. Since it is suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter, there is no need to cultivate and graze. It is necessary to clear the light to make up for the past, and the strange will offer the truth. " This was written by Gan Long during his second southern tour (A.D. 1757) to Nanhu Lake. The inscription on the back of the poem is: "Young and ugly, good reputation." But I was surprised that it was new this time, and it has been sunny since crossing the river. Willow bends down to dance, and Mei Duo smiles in spring. Go upstairs and say that the water village is near and far. "This poem was written by Qianlong during his three southern tours (A.D. 1762). The two poems of the Monument Pavilion in the Western Regions are respectively the first southern tour of Qianlong (A.D. 175 1) and the second southern tour (A.D. 1757)- "Spring clouds want to spin, and a hundred hectares of lakes wear. Looking back, I am still fascinated by green willows, and I will distinguish plum blossoms when I arrive. I don't know the picture of yellow mud. It's really fog and rain. Want Li Xi to carry the iron flute, the crystal palace with bright moon and flowing water "Yang Liuji is drawing a boat, and it has been six years since the Qing Dynasty. It is said that the rain is full of smoke, and several state capitals are still in Zhangzhou. Poetry comes from the studio, and Yunshan always stays in the mirror. Who still knows each other in the round lake? I'm too lazy to ask wild gulls. "
The weather situation has not been checked for the time being.
