Why can't Qianlong accept foreign women, the blonde?

Because Qianlong was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, it was difficult to accept foreign women with blond hair and blue eyes, because the traditional ideas were deeply rooted. Moreover, he thinks that some open and extroverted behaviors of foreign women are disorderly and stupid. In ancient China, male power was always the highest, while in foreign countries, women came first, so he had to respect women, so he couldn't be an emperor and lower his status.

Ganlong's romantic life is not only a harem of 3,000 beauties, but also often shows mercy everywhere when he inspects the national conditions in Lower Jiangnan. However, he can't accept the blonde foreign women. Because China had a very traditional thought, women in ancient China were locked in boudoir, and then all kinds of moral manners were bound, so women in China were very simple and introverted.

They pay great attention to the scale and distance of communication with men. Foreign women, however, is different. Foreign ideas are very open and fashionable. They dress casually and openly. They greet strangers in an open way, such as hugging or even kissing their relatives. This is extremely normal behavior in the west, but it is totally unacceptable for Qianlong to bring these behaviors to China. In his view, these are the basic qualities that a woman without basic skills should possess.

Furthermore, in the west, most people have special respect for women, and women have a higher status and give priority to some things. But in China, women's status comes first, and then Qianlong is the emperor. He can't lower his social status in order to like a blonde foreign women, and how to adapt to foreign women's status.
