At 3 o'clock in the morning, when you were still enjoying a sweet sleep in the warm bed, Qianlong had already gotten up to start his day. Although it sounds "boring", it is this day after day, year after year, that has created his unique taste and wisdom.
In the morning, Qianlong got up under the service of the servants, bathed and changed clothes, and enjoyed a carefully prepared breakfast. He then began to wander around the palace, admiring the unique artworks and beautiful gardens. He would converse with the scholars and scholars of the court, listen to their advice and insights, and enrich his knowledge.
Next, Qianlong will begin to deal with various government affairs, which requires his full attention and meticulousness. He would read everything from history to literature, philosophy to science. He would hold meetings with ministers to discuss national affairs and formulate policies.
In the afternoon, Qianlong would take a break to drink a cup of tea, read a book, or just think quietly. Then he would go back to work until the evening.
In the evening, Qianlong would have dinner with family and friends and enjoy a relaxing time. After eating, he would continue to read, or write poems and paintings in the study to cultivate his self-cultivation. Then he would enjoy the dance with the dancers in the court and spend a pleasant evening.
This is Qianlong's day. As "boring" as it sounds, it was this day after day, year after year, that made him a highly respected emperor. With his wisdom and patience, he influenced the entire country and made it prosperous. Let us pay tribute to this great emperor and hope that we ourselves can live a life as full and meaningful as he did.
