The imperial aesthetics of the flowering time explored at latest of annual exhibitions dedicated to the new year, Lin Qi reports.

When he ascended to the throne, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) inherited an affluent monarchy from his industrious grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, and father, Emperor Yongzheng.

Qianlong was in his mid-20s at the time. The country he was to reign was politically stable and economically well developed, and so besides fulfilling his duties as a ruler, he was able to invest more time and energy than his predecessors into cultural life, inside and outside the imperial palace.

The successive reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong produced one of the most prosperous periods in Chinese history. Qianlong in particular was known for his discernment and patronage of art.
