Of course, a considerable part of Gan Long's collection belongs to Fu Na. The dragon emperor especially likes jade. He spent a lot of manpower and financial resources on the production and collection of jade, so the jade collection in Qianlong period was very rich. There is only one Jade Mountain, "Dayu controls water". It took 10 years for jade articles to be transported from Xinjiang to Beijing, then to Yangzhou and then to the Forbidden City. This super-large jade carving is 9 feet 5 inches high and weighs 10700 kilograms. It is called the Jade King. Yushan is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing. Visitors can visit. At the same time, thousands of jade articles of different sizes were inspected, most of which were collected during the Qianlong period.
After searching all over the country for decades, Gan Long often used titles such as "Ganlong Royal Appreciation Treasures", "Sanxi Hall Classic Seal" and "Suitable for Children and grandchildren" to express the meaning of treasures. Then, he asked every poet who liked both refined and popular tastes to classify and catalogue, and published them in books after the approval of the emperor, such as Xiqing Ancient Mirror and Ningshou Gu Jian.
As early as eight years in Qianlong, he decided to sort out the paintings and calligraphy collected by the government on a large scale. First of all, there are books on Buddhism and Taoism in the Catalogue of Zhu Lin Secret Hall. In the second year, I began to compile "Shiqu Baodi", which collected all the paintings and calligraphy. This is the finishing work before the empty scale, which will put an end to the collection of Chinese Palace paintings and calligraphy that has existed for two thousand years. When completed, it will consist of 225 volumes, including the sequel and the third edition.
This is a summary of the 600-year palace collection in Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is also the last trick collected by the emperor. During the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 10,000 pieces in the palace, including 2,000 pieces of paintings and calligraphy of Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties and 2,000 pieces of paintings and calligraphy of Ming Dynasty, which was the period with the largest number of classical paintings and calligraphy in China. The dragon emperor is most proud of his collection of famous calligraphy posts for decades. The dragon people like Wang Xizhi's Shiqu Baodi, Wang Xun's Qingming Riverside Map and Wang Xun's Mid-Autumn Festival Map best. In eleven years, he hid these three things in the West Warm Pavilion in Tang Ling, Inner Mongolia, and named them "Sanxi Hall".
Forty-four years after Qianlong, the emperor ordered Heather, Chu Suiliang, Liu Gongquan and Feng Chengsu to copy the original Yuan Bo Tu. Liu Gongquan's Preface to Lanting has four copies of Xihongtang's posts. Yu Minzhong wants to make up for the shortage of pen in this original painting "Preface to the Lanting Pavilion", Dong Qichang, Gan Long 0755-.
Besides painting and calligraphy, Emperor Qianlong also advocated the collection and appreciation of bronzes. In addition to the collection of books in the court, bureaucrats and scholars have generally formed a fashion of liking ancient books, and a number of accomplished bibliophiles and ancient philologists have emerged. They not only personally identified the textual research, but also tried to record and copy its extension, wrote this book and argued with each other, so later textual research became popular again. For nearly 200 years, this trend has been affecting collectors and intellectuals.
The wealth collected by dragons can be called empty in history. In terms of the number of collections, Qianlong surpassed any previous emperor. A list of 18 16 shows that there were 15000 paintings and calligraphy decorations from the Forbidden City in Beijing to the Chahar Palace at that time, two thirds of which were works after 1644.
The old saying "No one has ever come before, no one will come after" has really been adopted. It not only records the strength of national strength
