From the historical records, we also know that Qianlong can be said to be the longest-lived emperor, and his evaluation also has a series of labels such as belligerence and book burning.
However, we can also find the shadow of Qianlong from modern and contemporary costume dramas. The dried dragon on TV lacks the cruelty, ruthlessness and decisiveness that royalty should have. More infatuated, more versatile, as if the emperor had nothing he could not do, then is Qianlong really a "perfect old man" in history?
First of all, remember that TV plays are TV plays and history is history. Some TV plays may be true stories, but at the same time some TV plays are adapted. But history is different. History really happened, so the TV series may be good-looking, but don't compare him with the historical Qianlong, which will only make us feel very different.
As for whether he is a "perfect old man", we really can't measure it. After all, everyone has a different opinion, so his evaluation is different. However, we must know that Qianlong also has its disadvantages. Emperor Qianlong was indeed extravagant, but he caught up with the good times and had the conditions to be extravagant, so we can't hate the rich. Personally, Gan Long likes to blow his own horn, some of which are exaggerated, but it is undeniable that his personal ability is really outstanding and he is proficient in many languages. In a word, Qianlong played an important role in history.
