Despite being Emperor Qianlong's grandfather, there doesn't seem to be as much information about Emperor Kangxi. I was pleasantly surprised to have stumbled across this informative documentary on him. Some quick facts about Kangxi:
1. 4th emperor from the Qing Dynasty.
2. Longest reigning monarch in Chinese history.
3. First Manchu ruler to be born in Beijing.
4. Became emperor at the tender age of 7.
5. Educated by his grandmother.
6. Allowed Europeans to increase their economic activities in several ports in the South, such as Guangzhou.
Enjoy!
