The Qing Dynasty, as the final chapter in China's feudal history, carried countless humiliating memories, but it also engraved an indelible giant in the long history, he was the Kangxi Emperor. With his outstanding political skills and wisdom, Kangxi laid the cornerstone for the Qing Dynasty and maintained his international status, and was praised by many scholars as "the first emperor of the ages". However, Kangxi's life is not a beautiful story, but the pen of the Italian missionary Ma Guoxian reveals the truth about Kangxi's absurd side.
The young man is a son of heaven, and the old man is serious.
In 1661, the Kangxi Emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight and was assisted by four auxiliary ministers. However, the worship of the Ao in it exposed its ambitions, continued to expand its power, and threatened the royal family. After Kangxi became a politician at the age of 14, he was not afraid and consolidated his dominance through ingenious means. During this period, Kangxi showed the wisdom of old age beyond his years and laid a solid foundation for the stability of the Qing Dynasty.
The government and politics, Kangxi skillfully coped.
In the face of Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and other three feudatories, although Kangxi's decision solved the border problem, it also planted the seeds of threat. Kangxi's decisive withdrawal of the feudal domain triggered a rebellion by Wu Sangui and others. However, Kangxi showed a clever political skill, and through ingenious strategies, he disintegrated the rebels internally, and finally completely defeated the forces of the three feudatories and achieved the unification of the country.
Kangxi had a prolific life, and the affairs of men and women were controversial.
Kangxi had a total of 55 children in his lifetime, a staggering number. From the eldest son Chengrui at the age of 14 to the youngest son Yinyuan at the age of 65, Kangxi won the reputation of "mighty" with his amazing "high yield". However, this also raises questions about its enthusiasm for "men and women's affairs". Ma Guoxian's account reveals the "interesting" incident of Kangxi taking the concubines into the pavilion during the hunting, casting a veil of mystery over Kangxi's lewd side.
Kangxi's aunt, the history books can hardly hide the truth.
It is rumored that Kangxi was involved in an abnormal relationship with his aunt. When the minister suggested holding a wedding for the eldest princess, Kangxi frankly admitted that he had included it in the harem. This behavior is shocking and has aroused strong doubts in society. Kangxi's indifferent attitude towards his father's relatives made his words and deeds seem to transcend the boundaries of feudal ethics.
Kangxi: Unifying the country, but it is difficult to hide selfish desires.
Despite Kangxi's brilliant political achievements, unifying the country, quelling rebellions, and conquering Taiwan, his private life has always been shrouded in mystery. Ma Guoxian's account reveals his absurd side, which contrasts strongly with the glorious image of the feudal emperor. Kangxi, is he the "Emperor of the Ages" in Chinese history or has left a deep "mark of absurdity"?There may never be a unified answer to this question.
Epilogue. 
The Kangxi Emperor, as one of the founders of the Qing Dynasty, was awe-inspiring in his achievements. However, Kangxi's private life is an unavoidable shadow in the history books. His political wisdom and determination are in stark contrast to his lustful and selfish desires, which makes people's evaluation of him full of contradictions and controversies. Perhaps, Kangxi's real life is not only the glory of the country, but also the absurdity of the individual. This historical mystery may remain in people's minds forever.
The reign of the Kangxi Emperor was an extremely important period in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and he left a profound influence on politics, military and culture. However, this article reveals the absurd side of the Kangxi Emperor's life through the notes of the Italian missionary Ma Guoxian, causing contradictions and controversies in the evaluation of this feudal emperor.
First of all, Kangxi showed extraordinary talent in politics. Since he ascended the throne at a young age, Kangxi has shown a serious side of old age. In the face of the ambition of the powerful ministers Aobai, Kangxi skillfully used the four auxiliary ministers to level Aobai and consolidate his dominance. His decisiveness and political wisdom were also fully demonstrated in the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and he successfully defeated Wu Sangui and other rebel forces and realized the unification of the country. These political tricks made Kangxi known as the "Emperor of the Ages".
However, the article's revelation of Kangxi's private life has made people question his evaluation. Kangxi's "high-yielding" fertility sparked speculation about his enthusiasm for "men and women's affairs", although in the feudal society at the time, having many children and grandchildren was regarded as an honor, but Kangxi's fertility frequency also caused social discussion to a certain extent. Ma Guoxian's record even revealed the "interesting" thing that Kangxi took the concubines into the pavilion during the hunting, which made Kangxi's private life full of controversy and mystery.
At the same time, the article mentions the relationship between Kangxi and his aunt, which shows his indifferent attitude towards feudal ethics. This incident made people sigh at Kangxi's indifference to kinship, and it cast a shadow on his image. For the leader of a country, such an indecent thing is unacceptable and calls into question the legitimacy of his rule.
On the whole, Kangxi's life has both the flashes of political wisdom and decisiveness, as well as the absurd side of his private life. This contradiction divides his historical evaluation, and makes his image richer and more complex. Such historical figures, with both a bright side and a dark side, are precisely the truth and complexity of history. When we evaluate historical figures, we need to look at their lives comprehensively and objectively, not simply positioning them as positive or negative, but rather understanding their time and complex human nature.
