乾隆皇帝大概是历史上知名度最高的皇帝之一,故宫博物院工作人员清理文物时,在库房里发现了两个箱子,上面写着“乾隆诗稿”,有乾隆皇帝的2.8万首诗的诗稿。加之之前库房发现的1.7万多首,共4万多首。
Emperor Qianlong is arguably one of the most widely known emperors in history. During the cleaning of artifacts at the Palace Museum, staff discovered two boxes labeled "Poetry Drafts of Qianlong", containing approximately 28,000 poems written by Emperor Qianlong. Combined with the previously found 17,000 poems, there are now over 40,000 poems attributed to Emperor Qianlong.
一部《全唐诗》作者2200多位,一共才48000余首,而乾隆一人就轻轻松松写了4万多首。作为写诗的真爱,乾隆一生笔耕不辍,他5岁开蒙,20岁左右动笔,活到老、写到老,每天至少两首。
To put this in perspective, the entire Complete Tang Poems by more than 2,200 authors comprises just over 48,000 poems. Emperor Qianlong, on his own, effortlessly composed over 40,000 poems. As a true lover of poetry, Emperor Qianlong devoted his entire life to writing. Starting at the age of five, he began his literary journey, and by the age of 20, he was already actively writing. He continued to write until old age, producing at least two poems daily.
考虑到乾隆的绝大部分诗,都是25岁登基后日理万机之中,见缝插针创作出来,不像自由职业者有大把时间体验生活、从容酝酿、充分构思不同,他实属不易。
Considering that the majority of Emperor Qianlong's poems were created amid the overwhelming responsibilities of ruling after ascending the throne at 25, his achievement is remarkable. Unlike freelancers with ample time to experience life and carefully craft ideas, he faced constant challenges in managing the affairs of the state. It's no small feat to maintain such dedication.
一个人有一样爱好不难,难的是坚持一辈子,乾隆皇帝完美做到了。他创造的纪录,冠绝古今中外,加冕诗帝,众望所归。
Having a hobby is one thing, but maintaining it throughout a lifetime is another. Emperor Qianlong accomplished this with perfection. His record-setting achievements make him a poetic emperor, fulfilling the expectations of many.
