About ten years ago, there was a very hot TV series that rolled on major TV stations, and many friends should resist, that is, Ji Xiaolan, an iron tooth copper tooth. This TV series was well received as soon as it was broadcast, and Ji Xiaolan also became a representative figure who could speak eloquently and was intelligent.
In the TV series, Ji Xiaolan can be described as an upper knowledge of astronomy, the lower knowledge of geography, export into chapters, and the couplet is not a problem. But once the Qianlong Emperor made a couplet that made Ji Xiaolan, a scholar of the Tangtang University, dumbfounded, but was confronted by an unknown woman.
Many times down to Gangnam
The story of all this also begins with the Qianlong Emperor's six trips to Jiangnan, in fact, touring the world is what ancient emperors often do. The emperor who first toured the world was the first emperor in the history of our country, Qin Shi Huang.
Later, many emperors also moved to go down to Jiangnan, and the Sui Emperor Yang Guang also went down to Jiangnan many times after building the Grand Canal. And to say that the dynasty with the most emperors traveling the world is undoubtedly the Qing Dynasty, most of the Emperors of the Qing Dynasty have been in Jiangnan.
For example, the Kangxi Emperor, the grandfather of the Qianlong Emperor, once went down to Jiangnan, but he went to Jiangnan and other places many times to govern the river, guide Huai, and jiyun. In order to improve people's livelihood and protect the safety of the people, they went.
The Qianlong Emperor was not only for the above points, but during the Qianlong period, due to the large and small measures taken during the reigns of the Kangxi Emperor and the Yongzheng Emperor, the entire Qianlong period was politically peaceful. It can be said that the Qianlong Emperor borrowed the two of them a great light.
In the late Qianlong period, the country was very rich, and the lives of the people were no longer as difficult as at the beginning of the founding of the country. The whole country was thriving, and the Qianlong Emperor was very proud, and he felt that it was his own credit that the country could have its current situation.
Therefore, in the late Qianlong period, he toured Jiangnan many times, on the one hand, to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, on the other hand, so that the people could see the emperor's heroic posture. Let them worship themselves.
And these six times down to Jiangnan can be said to have exhausted manpower and material resources, the Qianlong Emperor went down to Jiangnan is not a micro-service private visit, but a luxury. In the "Yangzhou Palace Scenic Spots", it is shown that there are 5154 corridors and 196 pavilions built for the Qianlong Emperor to go down to Jiangnan.
The amount of gold and silver consumed in this is immeasurable, and it is precisely because of the Qianlong Emperor's repeated moves to go down to Jiangnan that the national treasury has been seriously depleted. Therefore, there was no easing for many years, or after Hezhen was raided, the gold and silver found out filled the silver deposit of the national treasury for ten years.
But we can't say that the Qianlong Emperor didn't do anything serious in the six trips to Jiangnan. In fact, in the first few journeys to jiangnan, the Qianlong Emperor had a goal, that is, to control the flood and give the people a peaceful and happy life.
The south of the Yangtze River has been a fertile area since ancient times, and due to the irrigation of the Yangtze River, the crops in these areas are very good. Coupled with the sea, it is also very convenient to pass, but there are advantages and disadvantages, and the biggest drawback is flooding.
As mentioned above, the Kangxi Emperor repeatedly went to Jiangnan to control the flood. Since there were no modern construction machines in ancient times, their dams were built up piece by piece. Therefore, the emperor had to patrol many times to avoid someone embezzling the disaster money and causing unnecessary losses.
In the late Qianlong period, the lower Jiangnan was mostly for sightseeing, because the dam had already been built. According to the technical analysis at that time, the minimum number of dams to prevent floods was 50-80 years old. Therefore, in the later period of the Qianlong Emperor, he did not do anything serious at all.
Gangnam Adventure
And this time the story will start from one of the times Qianlong went down to Jiangnan, just this time on the way to Jiangnan, the Qianlong Emperor met the strange woman who could match his own pair. Qianlong himself was greatly shocked.
This time Qianlong and the others came to an unknown valley, which was located at the foot of a large mountain. The so-called Empty Valley Orchid, the more inaccessible the place, the more unique and beautiful the natural landscape, and this place is exactly like this.
Because at the foot of the mountain, and people live mostly on the mountain, very few people come here. Qianlong and his party came here by mistake, and were blinded by the beautiful scenery here, and the Qianlong Emperor even sighed about the creation of nature.
Just look at the hundred flowers in this place, the competition is colorful, and the rich fragrance makes people intoxicated. There is a cave above the valley, which was originally a small gap in the middle of the mountain, but there is a trickle slowly flowing from it. It drips down the cliff to form a small waterfall.
The breeze blows through the cliffs, caressing people's cheeks. This beautiful scenery made Qianlong's poetry flourish, but everyone knows that Qianlong knows nothing about writing poetry. After thinking about it for half a day, I didn't think about it, and then Qianlong proposed a pair.
This trip was originally for the purpose of sightseeing, so Qianlong had bodyguards around him, most of whom were literati and scholars, and Ji Xiaolan, a university scholar, was also among them. As soon as he heard that Qianlong wanted to pair up, they all rubbed their fists together, after all, they had reached their own specialty project.
Only to see Qianlong leisurely open his mouth: "The spring water in the cave is endless." "This Shanglian has given all the ministers a dismount, because the Shanglian that Qianlong came out of is actually a spectacle here. If you want to play the next link, you also have to be a spectacle.
This made the ministers think about breaking their heads, and even Ji Xiaolan, who was the most knowledgeable, took a fan and thought to himself, without any intention of opening his mouth. Seeing that the Qianlong Emperor's face was getting worse and worse, a minister gritted his teeth and stood up.
"The mountain breeze is coming", this lower league made the Qianlong Emperor not very happy. At this time, a woman's voice came out; "Alpine Yushu Evergreen." It was very happy to hear this under the Qianlong Emperor.
The people in the company did not know the identity of this woman, and the university scholar Ji Xiaolan had to bow to the wind. In the Qing Dynasty, women rarely had the opportunity to read, and they were more likely to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and so on. And this woman exports into chapters, which can be described as a strange woman.
The identity of this strange woman is now unknown, but looking at the lower link she has produced, she should know that she has seen through the heart of the Qianlong Emperor. Since ancient times, which emperor does not want his dynasty to last for tens of thousands of years and live forever.
Therefore, the Qianlong Emperor's inexhaustible stream of upper leagues also had the hope that the Qing Dynasty would continue, and the ministers did not hear it. Only this woman heard the Qianlong Emperor's voiceover. The lower league of the evergreens, so the Qianlong Emperor would be so happy.
epilogue
"Poetry and song, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting" Chinese classical culture is broad and profound, in ancient times, every literati could write poetry, as for the flying flower order, the pair is even more open mouth. But now many people in our country have forgotten these, let alone writing poetry, even memorizing poetry is difficult.
In the Qing Dynasty, a patriarchal dynasty, women could also open their mouths into poetry. Ancient Chinese culture is something we cannot abandon, and it is these cultures that have forged the national spirit of our country, and benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and faith are our moral standards for human conduct.
