EMPEROR QIANLONG DOCUMENTARY - QIANLONG BIOGRAPHY 

ruyi’s royal love in the palace brought me here 🥰

That younger brother was smart. Not fighting for the throne saved his life.

His grandfather is a great emperor and so is his father. So when he reigns the empire was at its best... but he led a luxurious life and made a lot of wrong decisions, so the wealth that his grandfather and father worked hard to get, all went to nothing by the end of his reign.

I fell in love with Chinese history, recently (lockdown). I'm even learning Mandarin. So happy I found this channel. One of the best! Thank you so much!

I just watched Chinese costume drama called Ruyi Palace of Love and Emperor Qianlong was one of the main characters. Fascinating!!

Yanxi Palace brought me here

came here because of zhen huan zhuan and ru yi zhuan. thanks!! i love these so much

Has anyone noticed how the actor Wallace Huo in Rudis Royal Love in the Palace does indeed resemble Qianlong in his original portraits? Really great choice of casting!

Quianlong, the cousin that your Chinese parents always compared you to.

Must admit this is one of the best history channel's I've subscribed to about the East , keep up the good work my man .

I've been waiting for this one! For what it's worth, I choose to fully believe the tales that Kangxi chose Yongzheng as his heir to get Qianlong on the throne.

YAY! Qianlong! Love this sorta miniseries on Kangxi, Yongzheng and now Qianlong. Can't wait for part 2!

Hi can you do about Qianlong's empresses and concubine specifically Imperial Noble Consort Ling

I'm really enjoying the history of China, its extremely fascinating.

He reminds me of emperor Augustus: Both ushered in a Golden Age. Both expanded the borders of their realms. And both were absolut ruthless.

Great sharing of this video, their emperor’s duties ,contribution , for humanity purposes during that period & so on , we away more than 300yrs ago. ( Emperor Qian Long , good in literature & arts too) 🙏🌷

Amazing video! I can't believe I have not stumbled upon your channel until now. Will you be going backwards through the dynasties? Would love to learn more about the "dramas and gossips" of Ming dynasty for example :D

I just want to say thank you for making these videos i try promote you every chance i get because i want to share this awesome content with others!!

If Yongqi became emperor, the Qing dynasty would have existed today.

Love the videos. They are very informative! Just wondering will you be doing a series on the Ming dynasty?

In his hand, during his 60-year reign, 5000-year Chinese classical writings and arts were collected and destroyed during the making of 四库全书--"Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature" or "Siku Quanshu", just to reinforce his absolute and supreme control and enslavement of the entire Chinese population. In his hand, a massive imperial complex--the "Old Summer Palace" finished construction, a palace that was the show-case of the 5000-year Chinese culture and civilization combined with a magnificent West (Baroque) styled garden complex and several fountains... all but for his own lust, while the once rich lands of China was left being plagued by starvation and total, thorough government corruption. And this magnificent royal palace was finally set ablaze by the invading British-French Coalition Expedition Force in October, 1860. In his hand, those Chinese people who once described by Portuguese and Spanish as tall, polite and full of curiosity have by now been turned into spiritless, barbaric animals, no respect of rules, no compassion for the others, nothing but some walking dead--something the Mongols once attempted but never were able to succeed, simply because the Chinese had almost unbreakable backbones and spirit. In 1798, when British Ambassador Lord George Macartney visited Qing Empire, he and his entourage were shocked--not by the beauty of this country which they had read about throughout their life, but by the pure desperation and poverty and illness that permeated through all social classes and the extremely polarized rich and poor, so much so that after the visit, he concluded that China was like a broken ship, the only thing that kept it afloat was that power leader and it looked mighty just because of its sheer size and appearance, once the powerful is gone, this land would no longer have safety and peace. He was right, only 40 years later, the British came back with powerful ships and guns, and beat the sh*t out of the weak, opium-addicted Qing army, after the "Treaty of Nanking", the Brits got themselves Hong Kong along with other trade priorities and authorities in Manchu occupied China... This man dragged a nation from its peak of civilization to the bottom of the savage. This still influences China today, in 21th Century and it won't completely go away in another century or so.

i like this type of historical videos, anyone else like this type of video as well?

Great video! I love learning about Chinese history especially because I don't know much about it

I was surpriced that you called it the Dzunger genocide. In my experience most people covering the Qianlong emperor completely ignore that and his genocide against the Jinchuan people.

It's fascinating how many people today call for Tibet, Xinjiang independence because they say the ethnic minorities are not Chinese. While Emperor Qianlong who lived 300 years ago directly disagrees.

Very, very, very, nice video. Thank you very much.

Some people think that (one of) the reason(s) Kangxi may have passed the throne to Yongzheng is because of his preference of Hongli

The opening of the 1990s serial goes: Qianlong led a relatively blessed life compared to his father (who was mirred in a succession controversy) and his grandfather (who was scarred due to Smallpox).

You single-handedly skyrocketed my history grade. THANK YOU!!!

Excellent video as always Grand historian.

Ah, Thank You! I was really curious about Chinese clockmakers, if the technology went back and forth between China and Europe, and how improvements spread.

Excellent video. Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.

25 yr old wow here I am wasting my time eating ice-cream sandwiches and watching TLC while hongli is a favorite at 10 know martial arts and calligraphy, also doing state affairs . He reminds me of Suleiman the Magnificent , he also brought the Ottomans to their height.

Interesting and well presented, thanks!

who else Came from Ruyi’s royal love TV show?😮

qianglong has the reputation of being this great emperor, but while he was in power he somehow allowed one of the most notorious and corrupt official to run rampant, his name was Heshen i believe. Some would say that Heshen's antics hurt the dynasty beyond repair.

great video! small correction, Xinjiang means “old territory new return” 故土新归, not “new territory”, Xinjiang was under rule of Han dynasty, Tang dynasty etc.

Waiting for the second part with love

Hey, I love your videos but I'm wondering if you could add sources in the video description? It adds a lot more credibility to your claims

Thank you, fantastic production.

画质感人！

under his rule imperial Qing dynasty start to decline. Stubborn, arrogant and not wish to embrace new ideas and technology when presented. Educated thru ancient thoughts, there is no way of reforming the country old feudal system

“Captured Swedish officer” wait what? You can make a whole video on that?

Very good potted history. Unfortunately there are many mistakes in the subtitles, which is a pity because I wanted to recommend the video to a Mandarin-speaking friend who is learning English.

Just found your channel and started watching the qing dynasty playlist. It's great so far but part 2 of this video is blocked in my country for some reason. Edit: Nevermind. Just noticed you reuploaded the video. :)

Hasn’t even watched yet but I know this’ll be epic

Good video, I wanted to learn more about the 10 great campaigns and I can say that I did.

ruyi's royal love and yanxi palace brought me here.

Qing dynasty is fascinating. Great background music.

Watching this all I can think is history seems to be repeating itself

Burmese were a hidden potential. They were tough and once ruler Alungpaya came into the scene Burma became highly martial that even defeated the mighty Qings!! Any Burmese here plz respond.

I'm a descendents of the Miao minority group. Grandparents fled to Lao's after the war with the Qing government. My dad use to tell me stories his father told him. The Great Southern Wall was made to keep an eye on the Miao people. Even though we had our differences with the Qing Dynasty my father never said anything about the Han Chinese. I think at that time the Miao people also saw the suffering of the Han Chinese. Some of the stories told to me went all the way back to warring states period. From what I took out of it the Miao people fought along side with the State of Chu

Qianlong , can't wait for Part 2 I Love you so much

Can you make a documentary on QianLong's Step Empress and Fucha?

Idk why nobody has made a movie about him, a movie about the McCartney or Titsing Embassy would very cool

Emperor qianlong's ten great campaigns included Sino-burmese war even though Chinese suffered heavy defeat and lost all four invasions ..we, Burma today's sharing border with China is due to that war. Ironically, the main beneficiary of China-Burma war is Siam because Burma have to recall their army from Ayodaya front to face qing threat, and Siam got their country back within months just like an old proverb... "When the swan and oyster fight, the winner is fisherman"...... :P

And yet all four of his invasions of Burma were utterly defeated by the Burmese forces. Qianlong was really embarrassed by the fact that a small nation like Burma could resist his might that he destroyed most of the records of his Burma campaign and unilaterally calimed victory over Burma. LOL

I love your videos!

The Story of Yanxi Palace brought me here.

Por favor, traducir al español latino o con subtítulos, interesante documental, gracias.

Just found the channel, subscribed!

Yanxi palace brought me here

Because of story of yanxi palace brought me here hehe

dont stop more more more

The story of yanxi place brought me here!!

At one time Not only did the manchus imbrace shamanism , but the Tibetans did as well . I knew this about the Tibetans , they're still practicing it , but I was surprised to hear the manchus did. This is a very interesting and in depth documentary about this period in China's history. I find it fasinating and beautifully done.

yongzheng spent his whole emperorship fighting his brothers

Can I please have a list of the music you use in this video. I absolutely love them and they are so soothing

Yup and yanxi palace

the background music is majestic. can someone plz tell me its nAME?

290,000 Manchu Qing under qianlong lost to 100,000 Tay Son under Quang Trung

Zhen Huan, Yanxi, Ruyi...hmm and Huan Zhu Keke.

Is this Emperor Qianlong who married Empress Ruyi??

QIHANlong is a meme, a fanatic of art yet with poor tastes. A fan boy of Chinese culture, his father likes cosplay ancient Chinese scholars in his palace.

I have a coin from during his Reign as Emperor of China a Chinese cash coin

5:00 we, hmong people, are like libertarian we like to stay isolated with our own people, belief, way of life, and don't want other (non-hmong) to govern us

What song do you use in this vid? It's so beautiful.

Also, did you guys know Qianglong aka Abkaiweihiye executed Chingunjab( one who fought for the khalkha Mongols) in 22th of March, 1757 by putting 99 heated coins on his body and chopping the flesh that came through the whole. His 2 wives and children except the very youngest son were beheaded in Beijing. But soon his surviving son died suspiciously too. Well his story is very famous in Mongolia

May you put microphone for more audio hearing, some age hear less

story of yanxi palace brought me here

其實，回頭看清代的历史，是十分有趣而悲傷的。

Can you please make Chinese porcelain history for we the collectors.

Great video as always, but could you tell me the soundtrack you used for 9:39 please. (I know this video is old but a response would be greatly appreciated)

So that's why I always see the emperor in Ruyi tinkering with a clock.. they have a Jesuit inside the place.. amazing.

Qianlong sounds like the Tony Stark of the Qing Dynasty....

great video! What is the music in the background in the beginning please?

That's why most concubines in Chinese history never ever saw their emperor. It's really sad in certain way.

6:25 just wondering, did Imishear you or did you say 'Swedish officer' ?

where does the footage used in all these Qing videos come from? I am assuming documentaries, but I know that the opium war videos use footage from The Opium War movie.

Keren Qianlong GG gaming👍👍👍

I’m the quianlong my name is hong i there brother was jealous of him I favor him wow thanks you so much

Emperor from Yanxi palace and Ruyi’s royal love in the palace? Sorry I know they are just dramas but I like to learn history to get a better understanding of what was going on during that time

你应该配上中文字幕！

I need to see the empresses and concubines of this emperor

How did the Swedish officer end up with the nomads?

Qian Long was the one who wasted all of Qing dynasty's money

LOL he is not Chinese emperor, he is Manchu emperor who conquered china and Mongolia and west Mongolia

The story of yanxi palace brought me here.!!!!

What is the name of the tibet buddhism music and artist in 9:00 do you now.?:)

Dzungaria was known as Qing Hai in the Qing Dynasty and Xinjiang today
