Problem description:
Who wrote the most poems in ancient China? People's answer is mostly "Lu You", because Lu You lived to 85 years old and left nearly 10,000 poems, writing one poem every three days on average. However, according to the Concise Catalogue of Siku Quanshu, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty wrote 39,340 poems at that time, not including the poems written by Chen Jia later. According to Zheng's Outline of China Philology, Qianlong "wrote more than 100,000 imperial poems, more than (that is, Lu You)." Gan Long lived to be 88 years old. According to his life span, he wrote more than three poems every day on average. It seems that Qianlong wrote the most poems in ancient China.
Analysis:
In terms of quantity, he is indeed the emperor Qianlong, but his poems are numerous and poor, so he is not a poet. If Lu You is the poet who writes the most poems, it is said that he wrote more than 20,000 poems in his life, and now there are more than 9,000 poems, which are the most among poets, both in total and in stock.
