The name of this poem is "Flying Snow". Indeed, after learning it, many people feel that it is not a poem, but can only be regarded as a children's song. The feudal period that Qianlong lived in was the most prosperous period of ancient feudal society. Why do you say this? Because his grandfather Kangxi worked hard to govern but had no family assets, he owed a lot of debt. His father Yongzheng had been working hard to govern the country for 13 years during his reign. He not only paid off the debts of his grandfather Kangxi, but also left a legacy for himself. Got a lot of property.
By the Qianlong period, the Qing Dynasty had entered its most prosperous period. In other words, there is no interference from external enemies, and internally the people live in harmony and live and work in peace and contentment. There was no uprising or anything like that. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not because of Qianlong's ability to govern the country, but because of his great luck. Just right, you can enjoy the foundation that Yongzheng worked so hard to build.
As a result, Qianlong had many comfortable days, which also gave him time to recite poems and compose poems. Qianlong lived to be 88 years old and reigned for 60 years. All his poems added together reached more than 43,000! This number is more than all the poems in the Tang Dynasty combined. Although Qianlong wrote many poems, few people were willing to read his poems. Why do you say that? It turned out that after Kangxi went to Hexi, his son Jiaqing compiled all the poems left by his father into an "Imperial Poetry Collection" and showed these poems to the Manchu nobles, but the nobles did not read them. I won’t go on because his poems are indeed not very good.
One of the songs, "Flying Snow", is relatively famous and has been selected into primary school Chinese textbooks. ?One piece after another, two pieces, three pieces, four or five pieces, six pieces, seven pieces, eight or nine pieces, flying into the reed flowers and disappearing?? This is "Flying Snow" written by Aisin Gioro Hongli. Is it written very casually? Doesn't it look like a poem written by an emperor? So after people learn this poem, they think it is just a children's song.
