How to evaluate Emperor Jiaqing?

"Qing Draft": Renzong first trained in politics and respected. Do your best, die before you die, destroy traitors and be virtuous. Cutting bandits, catching thieves, grasping pivot, advocating thrift, and opening up wasteland for immigrants are all major principles of governing the country. Count the imperial edicts and earnestly ask for words; However, the urge (pedantic) wind can be stopped before it is seen (immediately).

Xiao Yishan: After Jiaqing, there was no competition by force, discipline was corrupted, believers flocked in droves, and the people were miserable. However, the simplicity of Renzong and the frugality of Xuanzong can be called a must.

Yan Chongnian: Jiaqing's tragedy lies in thinking that all the problems in the world are caused by bad Shenyang and bad officials, instead of finding responsibility from themselves and digging up the roots from the system. During the 25-year emperor's career, Jiaqing solved the crisis left by the prosperous time of Qianlong one by one, but fell into a deeper crisis step by step. The crisis of Qianlong's prosperous times is even deeper in Jiaqing.

Lu Jing: Jiaqing's strategy did play a certain role at that time, but fundamentally speaking, killing a small Shenyang could not solve all the drawbacks of the feudal autocratic rule system.
