The emperor had 27 children in his lifetime, but the eldest, second and third elder brothers all died early. Among the remaining elder brothers, Qianlong initially valued Yongqi very much. I once wanted to pass it on to him. He was smart and learned at a young age. He rarely practiced horse riding and archery, and his martial arts skills were quite good. Erudite and versatile, he is proficient in Manchu, Chinese, and Mongolian, and is familiar with astronomy, geography, and calendar calculations. He is especially good at astronomical algorithms, and his eight-line method hand scroll is extremely precise. He is the author of "Jiao Tong Fang Manuscript" handed down from generation to generation. Yongqi was good at calligraphy and painting, especially good at calligraphy, and was as famous as his brother Yongxuan, the eleventh son of the emperor. According to historical records, Yongqi "was proficient in riding and shooting in Mandarin since she was a child. She was loved by Emperor Chun and wanted to establish the throne." On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong's reign (1763), there was a fire in the Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall in the Old Summer Palace. Qianlong personally escaped from the fire on his back. When Yongqi reached the age of 25, he was named Prince Rong. This was the first princely title awarded to a prince while he was still alive after the posthumous gift to Prince Yonghuang Ding'an. Yongqi was so high-spirited at this time. Unfortunately, good times do not last forever, and Yongqi died of illness four months after being crowned king. This made Qianlong very sad for a while. After his death, he was given the posthumous title "Chun". He used the same posthumous title as Qianlong, which shows Qianlong's love for him. Although Yongqi died, Yongqi's son was extremely smart. According to historical records, among the imperial grandsons of the Mian generation, the most artistically gifted was Mian Yi, the son of the fifth son of the emperor and Prince Rong Yongqi. After his father's early death, Mian Yi was demoted and granted the title of Prince Rong. He was intelligent and good at calligraphy, and his writing style was reversed and straight out. He was highly praised by Prince Cheng Yongyan, the eleventh uncle of the emperor. In addition, Mianyi is very knowledgeable and is deeply loved by Jiaqing. According to historical records, in the autumn of the 18th year of Jiaqing, when the Neo-Confucian Lin Qing followers invaded the palace, the news reached Emperor Jiaqing who was on a hunting tour outside the Great Wall, and Mianyi was accompanying him at that time. When he saw that some princes didn't care, he said seriously: "Who are we, the Emperor? Even if we are close friends, we should share our worries with the superiors, how can we be respected by thousands of people?" Then he went to Jiaqing to admonish Jiaqing, and asked him to return to the capital as soon as possible. , to calm people's hearts. Jiaqing accepted his suggestion and returned to Luan that day. Jiaqing later looked at Mian Yi with admiration and often said: "Among my nephews, Mian Yi is the only one who has the same flesh and blood relationship."
Gu Taiqing, the granddaughter-in-law of the fifth elder brother Yongqi and the first female poet in the Qing Dynasty. He is a poet with the same virtues as Nalan Xingxing, the "first poet in the early days of the Republic of China". Her collection of poems "Tianyou Pavilion Collection" and collection of lyrics "East China Sea Fishermen's Songs" have had a great influence on the Qingdai poetry circle and have been highly praised. In "Hui Feng Ci Hua", Kuang Zhouyi juxtaposed Gu Taiqing and Nalan Xingde, and concluded that "men are mature and graceful, and women are too pure and spring". Xu Depei's inscription (preface) "Qiluoxiang" for "East China Sea Fishermen's Song" can be said to be an evaluation of her poems in verse form: the opening of drinking water and the ending of woodcutting have occupied the history of poetry in the Holy Dynasty. A flute of fishermen's songs is like a peak protruding from the middle.
