In the twenty-third year of Kangxi, in 1684, Kangxi went to Jiangnan for the first time. Why did you choose this time? Because of the end of San Francisco turmoil and the unification of Taiwan Province Province, I finally got a break, so I decided to make a southern tour. He traveled from Beijing along the Grand Canal, from north to south and back through Yangzhou. But when he came to Yangzhou for the first time, he didn't live in Yangzhou City, but stopped the dragon boat in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in Yizheng. Because of "Yangzhou No.10", he still felt a little uneasy. Yangzhou was so tempting that he chose to go into the city during the day and only visited Qiling Temple, Pingshan Hall and Jiangtian Temple for one day. In fact, there was no Qiling Temple at that time, only daming temple. Because Kangxi had a taboo on Daming, it was renamed Qiling Temple after the Seven Lingta in the temple.
Kangxi was very good at winning people's hearts along the way. When he passed by Shandong, he went to pay homage to Confucius and gave him a big gift of kneeling three times and knocking nine times to show his respect for Confucius.
Kangxi went to Jiangnan twice, in the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi, with an interval of five years. Among them, Russia invaded jaxa. At that time, the court had two views, one was to ignore it, the other was to give up an inch of land. In the end, Kangxi chose to fight back and finally defeated the Russian invaders, which was also the victory of the Manchu-Han Mongolian nation.
When Kangxi came to Yangzhou for the second time, he stopped at Jiangdu Chen Jiawan. According to historical records, "the county people welcomed the car" and the people's attitude eased. This time, he lived in Yangzhou for a day. He visited the river everywhere and treated it.
In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, he went to the south of the Yangtze River three times, and 10 years passed in the middle. Mainly because he personally levied Gordan, when the battlefield was Gobi, nothing grew, and the supply of food and grass was very problematic. Kangxi, like soldiers, began to eat one meal a day, and then ate one meal every two days. Although the conditions are very difficult, he studies hard every night. Later, when Gadan died, Kangxi was relieved to make a southern tour. This time I came to Yangzhou, Kangxi mainly repaired water conservancy to let the people live and work in peace and contentment. Local officials built the Gaomin Temple for his arrival, and Kangxi wrote the inscription "Building Gaomin Temple". At that time, he saw that the nearby residents were on fire, so he sent his guards to help put out the fire. In addition, he compensated the people for their losses. Every time a room burned down, he paid 3 taels of silver and distributed it to everyone affected by the disaster.
In the forty-second year of Kangxi, Kangxi traveled to Jiangnan and lived back and forth in Yangzhou. Living in the palace, the southern tour began regularly, once every two years.
Kangxi made five trips to the south of the Yangtze River. In the forty-fourth year of Kangxi, he inspected the Yellow River and Huaihe River water conservancy to see what the effect was. At that time, the people loved him very much, and many people on both sides of the canal lined the streets to welcome him and cheered as they ran. Cao Yin and other officials built a palace with exquisite houses and beautiful gardens.
At that time, someone recorded Kangxi's itinerary in detail: "March 1 1, local officials bowed down and offered antique calligraphy and painting. ; 12, Kangxi entered the city, and the lanterns were practiced in vain; 13, Kangxi wrote in the palace; 14, Kangxi went to Zhenjiang, and Cao Yin and other officials came to give gifts, including a white jade ring and a pair of white jade parrots. Salt merchants sent 60 antiques and 40 accompanying Crown Princes ... "
Kangxi lived in Yangzhou when he came back, and lived back and forth for 1 1 day. "On the first day, Kangxi played at noon and went to the theatre for a feast at night; On the second day of the second year, I went to the theatre and gave a banquet ... "For the rest of the day, there was a" theatrical banquet "every day, with 100 table banquet at most. All the money spent at the banquet was funded by local officials.
Kangxi visited Jiangnan six times, in the forty-sixth year of Kangxi. At that time, the grand occasion was unprecedented, and people from all over Hebei and Shandong supported him very much. There was a sea of people and it was very lively.
After Kangxi visited Jiangnan six times, he stopped his southern tour. Because in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, two princes were abolished and two princes were established, which was very laborious. When the imperial edict was announced in court, I cried while reading and finally fell to the ground. Soon, Kangxi had a stroke and could not write with his right hand, so later Kangxi approved it with his left hand.
It takes a round trip from Beijing to Hangzhou 10000, and Kangxi's physical strength can't support it.
