“What’s the matter with a scholar decapitating a horse and asking a famous general to drink fish intestines?” comes from Hongli, a poet of the Qing Dynasty.

The words and phrases come from "Yuewu Mu Temple", a poem written by the Qing Dynasty poet Hongli.

Aixinjueluo Hongli (September 25, 1711 - February 7, 1799), Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty, was the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He was also designated as a layman in Changchun and the master of Xintian. His late name was Guxi. The Son of Heaven, Old Man Shiquan. The era name "Qianlong" means "prosperity of heaven". He has been in power for sixty years, and has been in charge of government for three years after the Zen throne. He has actually exercised supreme power for sixty-three years and four months. He is the emperor who has actually held the supreme power of the country for the longest time in Chinese history and is also the longest-lived emperor.

Emperor Qianlong was a famous emperor in Chinese feudal society. During his reign, the Qing Dynasty reached its highest peak since the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong. On the basis of the cultural and martial arts of Kangxi and Yongzheng, he further completed the unification of the multi-ethnic country, and further developed the social economy and culture.

Qianlong attached great importance to social stability and cared about the people. He exempted the world's money and grain five times and exempted grain from eight provinces three times, which reduced the burden on farmers, protected agricultural production, and enriched the Qing Dynasty's treasury. During the Qianlong period, he made great achievements in quelling rebellions in border areas, perfected his rule over Tibet, and once again incorporated Xinjiang into China's territory. This maximized the territory of the Qing Dynasty and officially established the territory of modern China.

Chinese studies have developed greatly, with the establishment of the Erxue Hongci Department and the compilation of "Sikuquanshu"; at the same time, folk arts have also developed greatly, such as Peking Opera, which began to take shape during the Qianlong period. However, in the later period, the official administration deteriorated and uprisings broke out in many places. Strictly resist the aggressive behavior of Britain and Russia, and reject the unreasonable demands for trade and sovereignty made by the British Macartney Mission. But at this time, the gap between China and the West also widened, and China was on the eve of modern times.
