Was Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty a good emperor?

He is a good emperor! Brothers, respect history: Li Hong, Emperor Qianlong, has been in power for 60 years and has done too many things. Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty recorded only his words and deeds in 1500 volumes. According to the author's statistics, * * has 65,438+0,358,065,438+0,36 words, not counting punctuation. To sum up, the main achievements made by Emperor Qianlong are eight things:

The first is the compilation of cultural classics. In the east of the inner city of Beijing, the "Chongwen Gate" flaunts the emperor's "Chongwen". Of the 28 emperors in Ming and Qing Dynasties, only two were truly "Chongwen", namely Kangxi and Qianlong.

The second thing is to maintain and build the royal garden. Royal palace gardens protected, maintained and built by Qianlong in Beijing and Gyeonggi area, such as Ningshou Palace and its gardens, Temple of Heaven (replaced with blue glazed tiles), Qingyi Garden (Summer Palace), Yuanmingyuan, Jingyi Garden (Xiangshan), Jingming Garden (Yuquan Mountain), Summer Resort and Waiba Temple, Mulan paddock, etc. Among them, Qingyi Garden was changed to Wanshou Mountain. These royal gardens all reflect the splendor of garden culture in Qing Dynasty, and they are a series of bright pearls in the history of garden art. Except the burning of Yuanmingyuan, they have become a world cultural heritage.

The third thing is to contribute poetry talent. Gan Long is an outstanding writer, linguist, calligrapher, poet and scholar. He is brilliant, studious, good at calligraphy and painting, and good at poetry. He is not only proficient in the new Manchu, but also familiar with the old Manchu. He is not only proficient in Chinese, but also knows many languages such as Mongolian, Tibetan and Uygur. Gan Long loves calligraphy and has made great achievements. He has been obsessed with calligraphy for a long time and enjoys it. From the imperial palace to the imperial garden, from Saibei to Jiangnan, there are all kinds of garden attractions, famous mountains and historical sites, and there are countless inscriptions and ink marks everywhere, which are unparalleled. Gan Long has written a large number of articles, and only 300 volumes of the first episode of the King James Version, the second episode of the King James Version, the third episode of the King James Version, the remaining episodes of the King James Version, the King James Version * *1350, and the Hadith of the Qing Emperor have been compiled into collections. Gan Longyou likes to write poems. His imperial poems, including The Complete Works of Leshan Hall before the summit and The Collection of Imperial Poems after meditation, total 750. During his reign, there were 5 episodes and 434 volumes. According to statistics, the first episode is 4 166, the second episode is 8484, the third episode is1519, the fourth episode is 9902, and the fifth episode is 7792. * * His poems total 426 13. The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty contains more than 2,200 poems by poets in the Tang Dynasty, with only 48,000 poems. Emperor Qianlong was an amateur poet. With one person's strength, the number of his poems is almost the same as that of the whole Tang poetry handed down from generation to generation. The number and diligence of his creations are admirable (of course, some of them are ghostwriters for others). It can be said that Qianlong's poems are second to none in history. He said, "When you have a few things to do and nothing else to entertain, you often write poems." He also said: "Every day, in my spare time, I write books or draw pictures, and poetry is the most common thing. I have to write a few poems every day. "

The fourth thing is to avoid all the money and food in the world Shi Yu and Tai once said: "The national fund is to prepare for danger. When there is nothing to do today, we should not exempt money and food for one year. " Gan Long thinks: The people are rich, which is the monarch but not enough? The kindness of the imperial court does not apply to the people, so where will it apply! Therefore, Qianlong categorically ordered the exemption of state money and grain. According to statistics, in October, 35, 43, 55 and the first year of Jiaqing, money and grain were exempted five times a year in the whole country, and grain in the south of the Yangtze River was exempted three times (one of which was 4 million stone meters), and a total of 22,000 silver was exempted, equivalent to the total income of the national property tax for five years. Exempt from state money and grain and receive social welfare: "Imperial Decree Day, all parties dance." Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it shows that this move is indeed welcome. In the feudal dynasty, the number of times, the wide area, the large quantity and the good effect of exempting the national money and grain were unprecedented.

Fifth, the construction of Zhejiang seawall. The original firewood ponds and earthen ponds in Zhejiang can't stand the impact of the tide. Gan Long ordered Silver to change Chai Tang into a Tang poem. * * * More than 4,000 feet of stone seawalls have been built, which has enhanced the tidal resistance of this area.
