Emperor Qianlong, the feudal emperor who actually held the highest power for the longest time in Chinese history, actually held power for 63 years and 4 months. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the concentration of imperial power developed to the extreme, without any threats or challenges from imperial power; the "Kang and Qian dynasty" developed to its peak, which completely stabilized its position as the hegemon of East Asia; stabilized Tibet and regained Xinjiang, allowing the Qing Dynasty to reach its territory. maximize.
In addition, Emperor Qianlong was also the oldest emperor in Chinese history, and died at the age of 89! What is the concept of
for Emperor Qianlong, 89 years old?
Although Emperor Qianlong, like his grandfather Emperor Kangxi, has always adhered to the health regimen of "sexuality but not fornication, lewdness and indulgence", his as many as 43 harem concubines and as many as 27 princes and princesses can also explain him The title of "The Son of Love" is not a lie. Let alone a period of romantic and absurd rumors about Emperor Qianlong during the "six lands in Jiangnan" period.
In other words, for Emperor Qianlong, 89 is definitely an age miracle!

So what does such a miraculous old age mean in the Qing Dynasty when the average life expectancy was low?
In the 20th year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi began to follow the Han nationality's method of naming the princes according to their generations. At the same time, he chose the word "hong" for his grandchildren, and the word "永" for his great-grandchildren. During the reign of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong determined the names for the three generations of "Mian", "Yi" and "Zai" for future generations.

"Records of Qing Dynasty·Records of Gaozong" is included:
was born in the Yonghe Palace on the 13th day of Xinmao in the 50th year of Kangxi. Kangxi Renyin, the twelfth year of the year, is the only ancestor of the sacred ancestor in the Yuanmingyuan. Seeing is amazing. Nurturing in the palace.
In the 61st year of Kangxi, the 12-year-old Hongli met his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, for the first time, and was taught by him in his nurturing palace.

In addition to Emperor Kangxi, the three generations of "Yin", "Hong" and "Yong" were for Emperor Qianlong In terms of being a parent, a peer and a nephew, he has naturally seen it.
We mainly look at the specific conditions of the three generations of "Mian", "Yi" and "Zai":
In the twelfth year of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong's eldest son Yong Huang gave birth to his first grandson-Aixin Jueluo Miande, the same generation as Emperor Daoguang;
Qianlong thirty-two years, Miande gave birth to the first emperor great-grandson of Emperor Qianlong-Aixin Jueluo Yichun, and the generation of Emperor Xianfeng;
Qianlong four In 19 years, Yichun gave birth to the first emperor great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Qianlong-Aixin Jueluo Zaixi, and the generation of Emperor Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu;
in order to see his "coming grandson" as soon as possible, Jiaqing III In 1970, Emperor Qianlong married the 13-year-old Zaixi and placed high hopes on her childbirth in order to realize the ultimate dream of "six generations under one roof". However, Emperor Qianlong died on the third day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Jiaqing, and he failed to realize his dream.
In the eighth year of Jiaqing, Zaixi’s eldest son, Aixinjueluo·Puqing was born. If Emperor Qianlong persisted for another 4 years, he would be able to meet the descendants of the same generation as the last emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty. However, there is a coincidence that is worth mentioning. The last emperor Puyi reigned from 1908 to 1912, which also occupied 4 years.
The four years that Emperor Qianlong failed to see the character "Pu" gave it to the last emperor Puyi?
Postscript
Just like the "Perfect Martial Arts" that Emperor Qianlong was so proud of, the reason why Emperor Qianlong almost met the last emperors of the Qing Dynasty was because of his super long lifespan and his This so-called "unprecedented and unprecedented" has an almost crazy pursuit. Zaixi, who was married by Emperor Qianlong at the age of 13, gave birth to Puqing in the eighth year of Jiaqing, but died that year because of early childbearing, and was less than one year old.
are both descendants of Emperor Qianlong. Pu Qing of the same generation is 103 years older than the last emperor Pu Yi. Such a difference is indeed a thousand-year wonder, but what is the significance of this pursuit? What is the meaning of Yu Guo Yu Min?
