The story of Qianlong or Kangxi going down to the south of the Yangtze River 0

Qianlong went to Jiangnan six times, with mixed reviews, but, from the author's point of view, in any case, six visits to Jiangnan let us see a more true temperament of Qianlong, he is an emperor, at the top of 10,000 people, but the top of 10,000 people is also a no-man's land, lonely and lonely, the height is unbearable, he has gone down to Jiangnan many times, throwing away those economic and political reasons, and more importantly, Jiangnan has the atmosphere of fireworks in the world that he can't feel in the red wall and green tile, which is the freedom and happiness that the emperor can not hope for, He knew that the scenery he could see in his life was limited, and he also knew that after him, not every emperor could have the opportunity to come out like himself, so he also asked the painter to copy the landscape along the way and paint, in Beijing, Chengde and other royal gardens to imitate the scenic spots in the painting. The entries of Tianyi Pavilion in Ningbo, Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, and Shuanghu Mirror in Wuxi were all imitated in Chengde Summer Resort, and the entries of the Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake in Hangzhou were "moved" to the Old Summer Palace.

The purpose of his visit to Jiangnan was to inspect the people of this place, and he also had a certain understanding of the economy of this place.

In order to investigate the economic situation of Jiangnan, in order to investigate Jiangnan, but also to change the current situation of Jiangnan, in order to let Jiangnan get greater economic development, in order to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan.

The purpose is to solve some crises, but at the same time, to consolidate one's position, and to examine the people's feelings.

There are different opinions on this question, probably to investigate the people's sentiments and then travel to the mountains and rivers.

It is recorded in the history books that Qianlong went to Jiangnan six times, and Emperor Qianlong went to Jiangnan not only to investigate the people's conditions, but also to rectify the governance of officials and control floods.

The Qing Dynasty emperors lived in the Forbidden City for a long time, and it took a lot of time and effort to get from the Forbidden City to Jiangnan during that period of underdeveloped transportation. Even if Emperor Qianlong spent a lot of time, he had to go to Jiangnan for a walk, and the last time he went to Jiangnan, he was over seventy years old. Even so, it didn't dampen my love for Jiangnan.

Personally, I think that Emperor Qianling went to Jiangnan mainly to inspect the people's situation and care about the governance and development of Jiangnan.

Emperor Qianlong reigned for a long time and was also a long-lived emperor. In his later years, he thought that he had outstanding achievements, even surpassing his grandfather Emperor Kangxi, so he praised himself as a "perfect old man", and also held a "Thousand Suo Banquet".

As a wealthy place, Jiangnan played a very important role in the Qing Dynasty's taxation and foundation. Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River many times, just to see the folk customs here and understand the real situation of the people. At the same time, it was necessary to inspect the governance of officials, control rivers and floods, and ensure the abundance of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the Qing Dynasty could have no worries.

Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River three times. And then relatively speaking, the economy is still relatively developed.

Many of the stories of Emperor Qianlong's visit to the south of the Yangtze River are folk fictions.

Kangxi and Qianlong both went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, the meaning is different, Kangxi is mainly to control the floods, rectify the rule of officials, Qianlong to the prosperity of the peace of the holy monarch of the self-style, the southern tour also did a lot of political affairs, but more of the key limbs to show themselves, so happy.

As the master of entrepreneurship, Kangxi was conscientious and conscientious, using the southern tour to stabilize social order, expand the ruling base, develop feudal society, and be able to practice frugality.

Its southern tour further established the stability and unification of the Qing Dynasty.

First, the foundation of strength and prosperity plays an important role in enabling it to rule from chaos and from weak to strong.

According to statistics, the total cost of the six southern tours amounted to more than 20 million taels, and the entourage and local governments also took the opportunity to extort money, which greatly increased the burden on the masses and caused the people's grievances to boil.

It was not until his death that Qianlong realized that he had made six southern tours, worked hard and wasted money, and did useless things, and advised the lord of later generations not to go to the southern tour like him.

However, it is too late to repent, and the consequences caused are irreversible.
