Speaking of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong must be the most legendary. After the strong foundation laid by Kangxi and Yongzheng, when Qianlong was in office, the people of the country were safe and the food was sufficient. Therefore, when Qianlong was in office, he was diligent in political affairs and could also travel and make friends. Gan Long likes traveling in the south of the Yangtze River, especially writing poems. Gan Long left more than 20,000 poems in his life. His poems are often emotional and obscure, so few people praise them in the end. Besides writing poems, Gan Long especially likes couplets.
In ancient times, people didn't have as many entertainment facilities as mobile phones and computers today, so they usually did crossword puzzles and recited poems for fun, and Emperor Qianlong was no exception. As we all know, there are two very famous minions around Qianlong, one is Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth, and the other is Xiao Shenyang, a big corrupt official. According to historical records, when traveling incognito to Jiangnan privately, Gan Long and two courtiers went to the hotel to eat and drink because of hunger. In order to kill time while waiting for the food, they decided to have fun with couplets.
At this time, Qianlong casually said that the fire, water and soil in Jin Mu were the upper part. This seems simple, but it is not easy. Obviously, Qianlong wanted to make things difficult for Ji Xiaolan, who is known as a great genius, while Shenyang, which is on the side, made a bottom part in five directions: east, west, north and south. Although it is a couplet, this couplet has no depth and does not reflect the realm that matches the first couplet. At this time, Ji Xiaolan slowly spoke his bottom line:? Half-town cooking pot wine? This implies the connection at the bottom of the five elements in response. Always smiling and praising Ji Xiaolan? Sure enough, the name of the great genius is true. ? From the bottom line between Ji Xiaolan and Shenyang, we can see that Ji Xiaolan is better than Shenyang.
The endless world brings us endless exploration. Although science and technology are developed now, no one can recite poems against them anymore, but this has always been the traditional culture of our country. They are buried with the wisdom and sweat of countless ancient people. We need more strength to protect and inherit China's excellent wisdom tradition.
