Jiaqing's thought of standing still was formed earlier. As early as forty-eight years in Qianlong, this thought was reflected in the poems he wrote when he traveled to Fuling with his father, and most of them took defense as the theme. For example, the original rhyme of the Republic of Fushun said: "Keeping the throne and succeeding the holy king has lofty merits." Always have difficulties, be diligent, and avoid laziness. " "Republican monarchy, creating the original rhyme of Shengjing" said: "From the time you taste the sacrifice, you will keep it when you patrol. Wait and see Roddy, the great cause of Myanmar management. " "Ode to the Republican Imperial System Fuling Original Rhyme" said: "It is difficult to show the beads, but cherish their thoughts." He also kept this view in mind in his later administration. Later, he said: "Give this boy a life as soon as possible, dress up well, and respect the law in everything, so that he can grow old together." Because of this, he was extremely dissatisfied with the great scholar Song Yun's resolute opposition to the ancestor worship ceremony, and immediately demoted him to a Mongolian, and specially issued the Order that Song Yun, a great scholar, violated the imperial edict to stop ancestor worship, saying, "I never offend people because of my words. These theories obviously violate the imperial edict, and we should punish them."

This idea of persistence is the most concentrated in his article "On Persistence" written in the 16th year of Jiaqing. In this article, he first talked about the reason why he followed the rules of his ancestors: "The rules left by saints are not easy for future generations to follow." Cover the king of entrepreneurship, restore the disadvantages of the previous dynasty, open a prosperous time, exhaust the ze and fish, Chen Qili is just, good law and good intentions, all detailed. Future generations should abide by the law, earnestly seek truth, take the hearts of their ancestors as their heart, and take the administration of their ancestors as their government. Rate unchanged, salt has virtue, will remain unchanged. As for immortality, so can Piggy. "Then he talked about the experience of past dynasties:" Looking back at the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, historical records show that the masters in the middle period were clever and successful without thinking of making difficulties. People deliberately reform, that is, ministers are greedy, encouraged, easier to divide, and more commandments are set, which will lead to the fall of the old chapter, the invalidation of the new law, and the collapse of the country. Can we not quit? "Finally, I talked about my reasons for abiding by the law:" I am a saint in the Qing Dynasty, and I am getting older and older. The legal system is extremely detailed. How dare you respect the Constitution easily? "However, for more than a hundred years, there have been one or two mediocre officials who are lazy and don't follow the old system. Make demands for night service, cultivate your mind seriously, show your law from time to time, and pay tribute to your deputy's kindness. The purpose of defending the university is to diligently repair the articles of association that you want to abolish, not a useless new plan. If the law remains unchanged, it will be bad and even more embarrassing. If we don't keep our ancestors in the constitution and treat them as rights first, how can we demand them? If you keep this idea, the sky will fall and the king of destruction will not keep it. The word "keep your promise" is the most important, not as simple as respecting the ancestors, being diligent and loving the people. In the last year, he also wrote a poem "Be cautious in Wei Zheng", saying that "it is really difficult to start a business and it is also difficult to keep it. Wealth is getting arrogant, peace is forgetting worries. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and fear of chaos has been cured. Always make up your mind and make up your mind. Bao Taiying, respectful and cautious. Chen Jiayu today believes in beauty and chastity. "From this point of view, the core of Jiaqing's thought of keeping ancestors is the system of keeping ancestors, and its foundation is historical experience. We don't think this is comprehensive enough.

So, what is the ideological root of Jiaqing's persistence? I think it should be understood from many aspects: First, the influence of traditional Confucianism-ideology. Traditional Confucianism has always had the tradition that the law precedes the king, and regards the rule of three emperors and five emperors as an ideal model. Jiaqing received nearly 30 years of traditional culture education before he ascended the throne, so he knew more about traditional Confucianism and was deeply influenced by it. Most of his ancient prose works and learning experiences reflect this idea. For example, the theory of mourning for breaking the prison said: "The former king used punishment, so he did not allow others to govern, stopped the outbreak of disasters and chaos, saved the hearts of foreigners, and made them belong to the king and become one with China." "After the gentleman of choose and employ persons is not straight in the world, carving is clear, sorrow is strict, slaughter is wasted, and people are fearless. In the five seasons, there was chaos in the north and south, which was originally a punishment. "On Cautious Punishment" said: "Suntech, the holy king, cannot govern the world exclusively with leniency, but must make laws and regulations to unify it. Strict and cautious, lenient and cautious. "Living in honor and walking in simplicity" said: "Being close to the people is important in tolerance, so you must choose what you want to govern. If you are too meticulous, you will be annoyed by yourself ~ ~ Heaven does not speak, and saints rule by doing nothing. If you are simple, you must be respectful. " "On the Cult of the Emperor" said: "The former holy king educated thousands of people with morality, benevolence, courtesy, music and political punishment as the auxiliary phase, and made the people step onto the right path day by day, fearing that they would be confused by heresy. Since Ershi's trip to China, he has had the name of Buddhism and Taoism, because his theory was also written by my Confucianism, and his grand purpose is also exquisite and wonderful, persuading people to be good, forbidding people to do evil, and assisting them to become kings. There is no big difference. It is based on the survival of Aunt Ming Di rather than the elimination of Gaza. " He once said: "The only way to rule the world is to avoid being sheltered. Since ancient times, emperors have been smart, listening and watching, so they have made great achievements and all their feelings have been achieved. " In the 14th year of Jiaqing's reign, Reading Poems of Shangshu said: "If you want to be interested in governing the country, you must seek the ancient emperor Wang Zhidao, seek his way, seek his heart first, and have a clear mind." Therefore, he was critical of Wang Anshi's political reform in Song Dynasty. His Biography of Wang Anshi wrote: "The ministers assist the people, and peace talks must be supplemented. There is peace between the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. There are many gentlemen who assist the government. The patient's condition is unknown and he is in urgent need of treatment. An Shi was called to ask you. Pretending to be a high-rise building, Yao Shun arrived. Nightingales come one after another, and good groups are long. It's good to say it, but it's hard to stick to it The new law is worn out and the sea and air are in danger. Young crops are particularly bad, and people are arrested. All religions have uncommon words, and academics value learning. " Shi Yang said in "On the Harm of Wang Anshi's Heresy": "Being cautious is easy to gain or lose. The people are full of national fat, and they are all equal. In order to cater to the inner pleasure, the reform began with stones. Sacrifice oil and establish a civil service system. Self-satisfied, arrogant and domineering, from then on, the crowd left. The harm of heresy and the disaster of hunting in the north have accumulated over time. " Because of this, regardless of the resolute opposition of ministers, he insisted on holding the ceremony of patrolling the mausoleum in the east and Mulan in the autumn.
