Qianlong's true appearance revealed through a secret drawing, netizens shuddered, thinking he was 'reincarnated'?

This secret is revealed through the "secret" paintings of a Western artist living in the Qing Dynasty court. The flow of history has witnessed many ups and downs of power.

There are people who, during their reign, have left a deep mark, making posterity forever remember their merits and crimes. In the history of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong was an outstanding emperor. He inherited the decisiveness and wisdom of his two predecessors, Kangxi and Yongzheng, and led the Qing Dynasty to a period of prosperity.

He made many outstanding contributions to the country and was highly respected by the people. History recorded his merits and wisdom for the country and the people, making him one of the most admired kings. Therefore, many literary works and films were inspired by Qianlong, vividly depicting his image.

However, the true appearance of this great king is a mystery. Although history books have recorded his achievements and career, later generations have not yet witnessed the true portrait of Qianlong. This makes people curious and weave many hypotheses. But few people know that the true portrait of Qianlong was secretl.y recorded by a foreign artist.

The most surprising thing is that during this period, the Qing Dynasty also had to face a very serious opiu.m problem. European countries, typically England, wanted to gain commercial profits and imported a large amount of opiu.m into China. This not only worsened the social security situation but also reduced the position of the Qing Dynasty in the international arena.

However, Qianlong did not let these things hinder his rule. He often visited his people, cared about their lives, and worked tirelessly for the prosperity of the country. During his reign, he not only focused on economic, military, and cultural development, but also expanded China's territory.

However, he still maintained conservative feudal thinking and behavior, refusing to accept new science, technology and culture. This arrogan.t emperor did not realize that changes and influences from the outside world were increasingly widespread, and his conservatism caused him to underestimate that influence. Gradually, the Qing Dynasty's position in the international arena began to decline.

At the same time, Qianlong also neglected the people's livelihood, causing many hardships for the people. Inflation and other problems became more and more serious, making people's lives more miserable and miserable. His despotism and extravagance also made people suspicious and dissatisfied with his rule. In such a situation, people began to gather together in the hope of changing their fate.

Eventually, the people's dissatisfaction and anger led to a series of peasant uprisings, further destabilizing Qing society. Qianlong's ignorance and conservatism prevented him from solving these problems.

Although Qianlong did not favor the adoption of Western culture, there were still many missionaries who came to China. Giuseppe Castiglione was a missionary from Italy. Before coming to China, he had many thoughts and fantasies about Eastern culture. But when he set foot on this land, he realized that the China he knew and the real China were very different.

He began to learn Chinese, observed the people and things around him, and tried to understand this strange culture. To make it easier for people to remember his name, he took the Chinese name Lang Thế Ninh.

During this process, he discovered that his talent for painting had become a way to communicate with the local people. He not only learned traditional Chinese painting techniques, but also incorporated Western artistic elements into his work. Over time, his paintings were gradually favored by Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, and Lang Shining became a court painter.

Lang Shi Ning's works are a fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. His paintings not only reflect Chinese culture and aesthetics, but also Western painting techniques and color theory. His works were widely praised at the time, and are still treasured and passed down today.

In the later stages of his life, he was commissioned to design the Xiyang Tower of the Yuanmingyuan. This work symbolizes the cultural exchange between the East and the West, and also shows the deep connection between Lang Shi Ning and Chinese culture. Although he was not successful in his missionary work in China, his paintings and architectural works became a bridge of cultural exchange between the East and the West, contributing greatly to the mutual understanding between the two cultures.

It can be said that Lang Thế Ninh was the court painter favored by Qianlong. He had the ability to draw portraits of people very realistically, so his understanding of Qianlong's appearance was understandable. However, in the palace, he had to follow the rules and add to the emperor's appearance. This was the rule of the time.

However, Lang Shi Ning could not forget Qianlong's true appearance. He secretl.y painted the emperor's true portrait in his private studio. These paintings were not allowed to be circulated outside. It is said that these paintings depict Qianlong with elegant eyebrows and extraordinary temperament.

Lang Shi Ning painted many portraits of Qianlong in the palace, but the portraits were required to embellish Qianlong's appearance rather than depict his true appearance. However, Lang Shi Ning also painted some paintings in the style of ideography, and it is these paintings that truly show Qianlong's appearance.

Through these paintings, we can clearly see the facial features of Qianlong. His eyes are not big but very spirited and bright; his nose is straight and high, exuding a majestic and imposing look; his lips are slightly thick, with a hint of sexiness. These features show Qianlong's majesty and personality, and at the same time help us feel more truly the demeanor of this great emperor.

In this painting, Qianlong looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, no longer majestic as in other paintings. His eyes are somewhat tired, his eyebrows are slightly drooping, seemingly filled with heavy thoughts. In addition, his nose is also very special, a typical hooked nose.

According to Sohu, famous actor Chen Daoming looks a lot like Qianlong. Both have high cheekbones and similar mouth shapes, except that Qianlong's face is thinner. This makes people wonder, what would it be like if Chen Daoming played Qianlong?
