Did Gan Long write all his poems? Will someone ghostwrite?

All Gan Long's poems were written by himself, but many of them were assisted and processed by others. Emperor Qianlong was indeed a talented emperor. His greatest hobby is poetry. He wrote more than 40,000 poems in his life, which is equivalent to the sum of poems left by all poets in the Tang Dynasty. However, although many of his poems were written by him, many of them were handled by an official named Shen Deqian near him.

We all know that the ancients didn't write poems with their mouths open like we do in modern vernacular Chinese. Ancient people paid special attention to writing words, and every sentence and word needed to be scrutinized. After the whole article is completed, it will be revised and refined repeatedly before being shown to everyone. Most of the poems left by the Tang Dynasty are like this. Emperor Qianlong reigned for 64 years and wrote more than 40,000 poems in his life, which is equivalent to the output of two poems a day. However, Emperor Qianlong was very diligent, so how did he have so much time to write poems?

During our study, we hardly heard that Emperor Qianlong could write poems and the output was still so high, nor did we read and study his poems. In fact, this is the reason for his high output. Because the poems written by Emperor Qianlong are not brilliant and famous, we naturally can't learn them. The reason why Emperor Qianlong's poems are not brilliant is because the level of creation is too low. If you think about two poems a day and have to deal with official business, how can you have time to scrutinize the words in the poems?

Emperor Qianlong was surrounded by a courtier named Shen Deqian. Emperor Qianlong especially likes her, because when his poems are stuck, he often gives him a hint, and the creator of this poem is of course Emperor Qianlong's. For example, Emperor Qianlong's poem "Flying Snow", but when Emperor Qianlong saw this poem in the garden, he read: One after another, two, three, four or five, six, seven, eight or nine? , the back is stuck, next to Shen Deqian connect a way:? Fly into the reeds and not see them? . Emperor Qianlong was very happy after hearing this, and later showed off this poem in the court. Many of Ganlong's poems come from this way, and there are actually many such gunmen around him.
