Although the late Qing Dynasty was very corrupt and weak, and was bullied by foreign countries, in fact, the Qing Dynasty also had a prosperous world, that is, the Kangqian prosperous world, the founders of the Kangqian prosperous world had a total of three, Kangxi Yongzheng Qianlong, of which Kangxi and Qianlong are the two most well-known emperors, Yongzheng and them are still slightly less well-known. Kangxi was Qianlong's grandfather, and both grandfathers had a hobby, which was to write poetry.
It's just that compared with Qianlong, Kangxi's poems are much better written, and Qianlong writes poems more casually, often seeing what is on a whim, and does not do any deliberation, and directly blurts out. Because Qianlong was the emperor, the poems he wrote, whether good or bad, would be praised by his followers or ministers, and in the long run, Qianlong wrote poems more casually, and the level did not grow.
Kangxi writes poetry much better, basically in the mind for half a day, will take the pen to write, in the treatment of writing poetry, Kangxi's attitude is much more serious than Qianlong, which is the main reason why Qianlong is worse than Kangxi poetry level. But objectively speaking, Qianlong's poems are not too bad, some poems are still a good masterpiece in terms of sentences, but if you look at the overall macro, you feel that the poems are very brainless, look messy, and some places that should rhyme or change words are not perfect.
Because of this, Qianlong wrote more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime, but only one one is more familiar to everyone, because it was selected into the primary school language textbook, and the name of this poem was called "Fei Xue", and the content of the poem was as follows: "One piece after another, two pieces of three pieces of four or five pieces." Six pieces of seven pieces of eight or nine pieces, flying into the reed flowers are not seen. "Is it that after reading it, I feel very speechless, except for the last sentence, there is no other poetry, just like oil poetry."
In fact, even the last sentence was not written by Qianlong himself, this was when he and a cadre of ministers Guan Xue, suddenly had a feeling, the first three sentences came, but finally stuck, do not know how to write down. At this time, Ji Xiaolan naturally could not see the emperor ugly, so he hurriedly took a sentence of "flying into the reeds and flowers are not seen", that is, to please Qianlong Ye, and further sublimated the poetry of this poem, otherwise the first three sentences alone would not have been selected to be selected into the primary school language textbook under any circumstances.
Although QianlongYe's poems are not well written, but this endurance is still worthy of admiration, he wrote more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime, what is this concept, some people can not read more than 40,000 poems in their lifetime, anyway, Qianlong Ye even if he writes badly, but he is good to write, and one write is so many. What's more, Qianlong's own job is an emperor, which he has nothing to blame, he has done quite well, and writing poetry is only his hobby, how an amateur to compare with the profession, Qianlong's poetry naturally can not be compared with Li Bai Dufu.
Qianlong is not necessarily worse than them in other aspects, so sometimes looking at a person's achievements in a certain aspect does not necessarily represent the whole of this person, so everyone should not laugh at Qianlong's poetry, after all, after careful consideration, there are still a few good poems.
