He ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five. In order to monopolize power, he tried his best to attack various forces such as concubines and relatives, the royal family, eunuchs, powerful ministers, cronies and other forces.
When he was thirty-eight years old, Empress Xiaoxian passed away, which not only changed his personality drastically, but also brought a big shock to the political arena of the Qing Dynasty.
When he was forty-nine, he personally created a "prosperous age", pushing the Kangxi and Qianlong dynasties to their peak, making it the heyday of the entire traditional Chinese society.
In his later years, he was blind and deaf, extremely arrogant, and planted the seeds of the Opium War when he received the British envoy.
Through detailed historical materials and popular narration, this book reveals to readers the inextricable connections between the changes in Qianlong's ruling style, his personality and love, brilliantly discusses the successes and failures of Qianlong's ruling, and comprehensively restores a true and complex image of the emperor.
Reader comments
In the past, the impression of Qianlong was that he was nibbling on his old age. Kangxi expanded his territory and Yongzheng filled the gap. Now I know that Qianlong was actually an excellent literary uncle, a talented man who governed the country, loved his wife very much, and was especially healthy and long-lived. It's just that I'm a little confused in old age.
During the heyday of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong, people think of Ali who was running on the established track. Following his experience, he confidently chose to break away from the path of the bottom masses, leading to self-narcissism, self-imprisonment, and self-frustration. Uncertain and unstable small opportunities have allowed other business tracks to flourish. Just like the West, which is often in turmoil, becomes stronger.
Analyze and compare the pros and cons of emperors in the past dynasties, and use history as a guide to comprehensively and fairly evaluate the merits and demerits of Emperor Qianlong. It is very useful for reference [Like][Like][Like]
It is true and objective and has a deeper understanding of Qianlong's life. Regardless of whether he is an emperor or a mortal, he really all has the same shortcomings: he is obsessed with success, vain and arrogant, not to mention that the world belongs to him. Great men in history should be viewed objectively. They have a side that is higher than ordinary people, and there are also sides where mistakes cannot be understood. If it were me, I would not necessarily be better than him.
First of all, it has historical authenticity. It can be seen that the author has read official and unofficial history, but also has his own unique insights into the falsification of unofficial history, which increases historical reliability. Secondly, the author's discussion logic is very clear, and his multi-faceted analysis guides readers to develop deeper insights. Finally, this book is very easy to read. The story is quick to read and can help cultivate interest in history books.
This book gave me a more comprehensive understanding of Qianlong. It turns out that the Qianlong in the TV series is so different from the real him! As the book says, Qianlong didn't like drinking, and he wouldn't pay private visits casually. I also started working after graduating from junior high school, and I understood the importance of knowledge. Reading this book made me feel that I need to know more about history, and not just read TV series and novels, so that I can have a more realistic understanding of the people and things in the past.
A very nice book with stories and thoughts.
The author focuses on enlightenment when writing history. I like it very much!
The content is substantial, objective and fascinating, and truly restores Qianlong's love, politics and historical features from the perspective of human nature and psychology!

Yes, I have a systematic understanding of Qianlong

Personally, I think it's pretty good. I, a historical scumbag, can read it, and it gives me a clear and preliminary understanding of the Qing Dynasty and Qianlong. Five-star praise.
The writing is easy to read and the historical plot is vivid and interesting.
Easy to read and understand, it opens up a lot of blind spots in knowledge
