He was not the most brilliant and courageous emperor in his dynasty (his grandfather Emperor Kang Xi was). However, he is definitely the luckiest.
He was the emperor who lived the longest and reigned the longest, enjoyed greatest amount of wealth and luxuries, tasted much good food and wine, experienced many fun trips, had many romantic relationships, dissolved the greatest conflicts between the Hans and the Manchurians, connected very well with many benefactors...all the attributes and effects of wearing jade. Oh yes! He has a fair and smooth complexion that put most ladies to shame.
Guess. Yes. He is the only emperor who loves and collects jade.

The Mutton Fat White Jade is his favorite.
When he was passing away at his ripe old age, he call himself "the ten complete old man". It means he enjoyed to the fullest satisfaction and completion, the enjoyment of all kinds.
