No one could answer Kangxi’s “ink” couplet, and his 6-year-old grandson answered in seconds. (Picture / flip from Weibo)
Kangxi is the emperor with the longest reign in China. He reigned for 61 years. When he was 16 or 17 years old, he liked to read and refused to stop late at night. He even broke his body because of this. Killing leopards, personally leading an army to fight, and being well-versed in Chinese and martial arts throughout his life, it seems that there is nothing in the world that can stop him. In his later years, he published a one-character couplet “Mo”, and wanted to test the princes, but no one could answer. At this time, the 6-year-old grandson of Kangxi came out without hesitation, and this grandson was Hongli, the later Emperor Qianlong.
The royal family of the Qing Dynasty had strict regulations on the education of princes. According to the “Yangjizhai Conglu”: “My dynasty’s family law, the prince and grandson are six years old, that is, they will study with their nephew.” It means that the prince began to study when he was 6 years old, as early as 5 years old. From 1:00 to 3:00 pm, a total of 10 hours. There are only 5 days off in a year, that is, New Year’s Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor’s birthday, and my own birthday. In addition, there is no holiday for New Year’s Eve.
Emperor Kangxi studied at a young age and was so tired that he coughed up blood, so he could recite the Four Books and Five Classics backwards. Emperor Qianlong was able to do this at the age of 14, so he was deeply loved by Kangxi. You can know the couplet “ink”.
In his later years, Kangxi thought hard about who should succeed him. In order to confirm the real and suitable heir, Kangxi published a couplet with only one word: Mo. Let the princes come to the next couplet, but many princes looked at each other in blank dismay, no one could answer. Kangxi was very dissatisfied. At this time, his grandson Hongli, who was only 6 years old, took the initiative to stand up. He said the next couplet: Quan. Although Hongli is young, he has clearly deciphered the deep meaning of his grandfather. Using “white water” to Kangxi’s “black soil” is like a god in the world.
After hearing this, Kangxi called out: Good grandson! , It is precisely because of this that Kangxi later passed the throne to Yongzheng, Hongli’s father. It can be said that Yongzheng is really a pair to become an emperor.
