Qianlong, whose full name is Aisingiorro Li Hong, is the longest and longest-lived emperor in the history of China. In fact, people have different views on such an emperor. Li Yaping once laughed at Gan Long in The Secret History of the Former Qing Dynasty and called him a playboy. Why? This man has the following views.

First of all, I want to talk about Gan Long. In fact, Gan Long is a person who pays great attention to his reputation. He very much hopes that the world will have a positive evaluation of himself, preferably a poet with great culture. However, Gan Long is actually a man without literary talent. In fact, he wrote tens of millions of poems, all of which have no literary talent. Perhaps because there was no ink in his stomach, most of the poems written by Qianlong were very gorgeous but had no substantive content, which greatly exaggerated the grandeur of the court and the extravagance of life and brought a very bad influence on politics at that time. This naturally further contributed to the corruption in the Qing Dynasty.

As the longest-lived emperor in history, Qianlong lived for a long time, but in fact there were no famous literati left in the history of his dynasty. If anything, it was Nalan Xingde and Cao Xueqin. Unfortunately, Nalan died when he was very young. As a milestone in the history of literature, Cao Xueqin's ability to write such a masterpiece as A Dream of Red Mansions actually has a lot to do with his not stepping into the officialdom. After all, that dynasty admired those flashy things at that time, but anyone who really read A Dream of Red Mansions will know that it is actually a very meaningful thing, and the world has spent a lot of time studying this Dream of Red Mansions.

Therefore, even from this perspective, Ganlong really belongs to a playboy, and likes to write something innocuous and extravagant.
