👀Qianlong was a busy guy huh lol? I couldn't imagine seeing so many people, including you're own children pass away before you..if you have a heart, I'm sure it would be difficult.
It must have been hard to see so many children pass away. I remember your other video where you talked about why. You also mentioned that kids not always raised by biological mother. Is there any record of which imperial lady raised which kid? In Ruyi Royal Love, concubine Ling said her kids were sent away and was happy she got to keep one kid
Really enjoyed the video, Bing! Thank you! Curious as to the meaning of the names of Qianlong's sons, esp those born by Xiaoxian empress, and the meaning of the titles of his daughters.
Thanks for this Video. I think that was hard for his Woman and him, too. Beloved or not to lose one by one of them must be very hard. I thinking Qianlong was wishing sometimes he were dying and not this beloved Son´s like Hong Qi or Yong Lian. So a hard fate can chance a man.
I'm guessing many of the children died because of illness or some childbirth problems. Back then the mortality rate of babies death was pretty high. I'm not sure about China's mortality rate during Qianlong's time.
How sad. Seeing all ones children die, esp when there were multiple, as in Qainlong's case! Did consort Ying really raised a daughter of consort Ling? Who raised who's children? Who and how many were raised by the dowager empress?? Thank you 😢
For Nobles, even in some current Asian customs, it’s not proper or appropriate. Take me for example, people who call me by my given name are mainly outsiders such as co-workers or outside of my culture. Only my parents or people in their generation or older call me by my given name, while everyone else calls me “Brother” either Elder or a Younger, depending on where they sit on the family tree, this applies to my 1st Cousins as well, on my father’s side only.
Yes, the above response is true. In many if not all Asian cultures, it is disrespectful for a younger person to refer to an older person by name. This is of course not practiced by all families but even those who don't practice this custom in their households are expected to know it.
@@TaintedGenre I read somewhere that the daughter of the empress is Princess of First rank. But Emperor Qianlong promoted his favourite daughter to Princess of First Rank (Gulun) anyway because he loved her very much. Hejing I think?
@@TaintedGenre That’s not what you asked but now that you have clarified your question. 😊 I would think mostly based on merit and achievements or how much the emperor loved them. It seems there were also cases of promoting adopted princesses in order to give them a higher status for arranged political marriages.
