When it comes to Qian Weiqiao, everyone's impression is: Qian Weicheng's younger brother. This kind of title is indeed because Qian Weiqiao's meritorious name and identity as a county are thousands of miles away from Qian Weicheng's honor.
But, I don't think so.
In addition to comparing them secularly according to their official status, if you look at them according to your artistic achievements, I think this "Changzhou two money" is inseparable.
In the historical evaluation, it is said: "Qian Weiqiao worked in Hanmo at an early age, and he received the legend of his brother Qian Weicheng, who wrote for his brother, which has been aggressive and realistic, and Wenxiu's anger is excessive." ”
It is not difficult to see here that the level of Qian Weiqiao's paintings is not worse than that of his brother. If the level difference is too far, Qian Weicheng will definitely not let Qian Weiqiao ghostwrite for himself.

At present, it seems that the size of fame is really just a misunderstanding of history at times. As we can't do without a saying now: "The master is in the folk."
Thirty-three years after Qianlong, Qian Weiqiao's wife died, and in order to mourn his deceased wife, he took the love story from the ancient poem "Peacock Flying Southeast" and composed the second volume of the legend of "Biluoyuan".
Such a deep affection made me think of su Dongpo's story earlier:
When Su Dongpo was nineteen years old, he married the Sixteen-Year-Old Wang Clan. Wang was young and beautiful, but he died at the age of twenty-seven. The blow to Su Dongpo is self-evident. In 1075 (the eighth year of Xi Ning), after Su Dongpo came to Mizhou and dreamed of his beloved wife Wang Shi, he wrote this eulogy that has been recited through the ages:
Ten years of life and death are vague, not thinking, unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to say desolate. Even if they do not know each other, they are full of dust and sideburns.
At night, the ghost dream suddenly returned home, the small window, is grooming. There are no words for each other, but there are thousands of tears. It is expected that the intestines will be broken every year, the night of the bright moon, and the short Matsuoka.
From the story, it can also be realized that although Qian Weiqiao is not as knowledgeable as Su Dongpo, the feelings of the literati are mostly similar.
A few poems to be released,
Pingming dove summons the evening crow.
There is a Yuandu tree next to the house,
In the spring of March, the flowers are beautiful.

Qian Weiqiao (1783) made the vertical axis of the "Spring Mountain Staff Diagram"
Although his life was not satisfactory, Qian Weiqiao arrived at the Suichang County Office and also had a "happy mentality of office workers".
As can be seen in the above poem, he is full of expectations and poetry for life. Just sat in the county court "to work" and waited for the "end of work" to be released quickly, thinking that I could hurry to go to the spring to enjoy the flowers.
I think it is precisely this mentality that Qian Weiqiao will certainly not "show the world". From ancient times to the present, taking the meritorious name is something that readers must do, so if it is really impossible to take any meritorious name, it is also joyful to be a free and free ordinary person.
This is probably Qian Weiqiao's "human nature".
After that, in the eighth year of Jiaqing (1803), he purchased half of Tang Yuzhao's "Half Garden" as a mansion, and after resigning from the government, he returned to Yinqingguo Lane for more than thirty years.

Qian Weiqiao, who lives in the middle of the hermitage, has his paintings "quiet, beautiful" and full of Zen characteristics.
Qian Weiqiao made "You Chun Tu" in 1793, fanning
In his later years, Qian Weiqiao hid in the half garden in Qingguo Lane, writing poems, lyrics, paintings, and enjoying himself.
But his name as a Qing Dynasty writer and opera composer is also well known, and perhaps as a younger brother, he does not have the dazzling "manifestation" of Qian Weicheng, but he is also "explicit and hidden".
