《平定廓尔喀战图》册之《廓尔喀使臣至京》，清乾隆，佚名绘，纸本，设色，长55.3厘米，宽91.4厘米。

　　画幅上部乾隆皇帝御题《廓尔喀陪臣至京》诗，款识：“癸丑新正御笔。”钤二朱文方印“八徵耄念”、“自彊不息”，“乾隆鉴赏”白文圆印。引首钤“太上皇帝之宝”朱文方印，并钤清内府鉴藏印“三希堂精鉴玺”朱文印、“宜子孙”白文印。“癸丑”为乾隆五十八年（1793年），乾隆皇帝时年83岁。

　　图绘紫光阁前搭起宝帐，来自廓尔喀的使臣们早已跪在地上，迎候乾隆皇帝的到来。乾隆皇帝在众人仰视之下，乘步辇款款而至，显现出其至高无上的风范。

　　廓尔喀（即今尼泊尔）地处中国西藏的西南，其疆土与西藏犬牙交错。乾隆五十三年（1788年）廓尔喀兵侵入后藏，理藩院侍郎巴忠隐瞒朝廷，同意西藏的噶隆与廓尔喀达成退兵纳款的合约。三年后，廓尔喀借口债务未清，再次出兵西藏，此次他们遭到了清军的痛击，此次战役也成为乾隆皇帝“十大武功”中最后的一功。乾隆皇帝命宫廷画家按照惯例，创作了《平定廓尔喀战图》册，以表彰乾隆五十六年至五十七年（1792—1793年）远征的将士，弘扬乾隆朝的武功。

　　此图册共8开，分别表现了“攻克擦木”、“攻克玛噶尔辖尔甲”等主要战役及乾隆皇帝在紫光阁接见廓尔喀使臣的“廓尔喀使臣至京图”。由于图册每幅所描绘的内容都各有所据，基本符合历史事实，因而具有极重要史料价值。 

 

--------Introduction in English--------

 

In the book of Battle Maps of Calming Gurka, Envoys of Gurka to Beijing, Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, Anonymous Painting, Paper-based, Coloured, 55.3 cm long and 91.4 cm wide.

In the upper part of the painting, Emperor Qianlong wrote a poem entitled "Golka Accompanying Ministers to Beijing", which reads: "The ugly new imperial pen." "Eight Symbols" and "Continuous Self-improvement" and "Qianlong Appreciation" in Chinese are the two official seals of Jun Er and Zhu Wen. Leading Jun's "treasure of Emperor Tai Shang" Zhu Wenfang Seal, and Jun Qing's Neifu Seal "Sanxitang Jingjianxi Seal" Zhu Wenyin, "Yizisun" Baiwen Seal. The "ugliness" was in the fifty-eighth year of Qianlong (1793), when Emperor Qianlong was 83 years old.

Pictured in front of Ziguang Pavilion, the envoys from Gurkha had knelt down to welcome the arrival of Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong, who was looked up by all, showed his supreme demeanor by making money at every step.

Gurka (now Nepal) is located in the southwest of Tibet, China. Its territory is interlaced with Tibet's canine teeth. In the fifty-third year of Qianlong reign (1788), the Gurkha soldiers invaded Houzang. Bazhong, the waiter of Li Fan Yuan, concealed the imperial court and agreed to a contract between Gurka of Tibet and Gurka to withdraw troops and pay for them. Three years later, on the pretext that his debts had not been cleared, Gurkha sent troops to Tibet again. This time, they were severely attacked by the Qing Army. This battle also became the last of Emperor Qianlong's "ten martial arts". Emperor Qianlong ordered court painters to compose a Book of Battle Maps for the Peace of Gurkha, in accordance with the usual practice, in order to commend the generals of Qianlong's expedition from 56 to 57 years (1792-1793), and to carry forward the martial arts of the Qianlong Dynasty.

This atlas consists of eight sections, showing the main battles of "conquering and wiping wood" and "conquering Magar Juljia" respectively, and the "Gulka to Jingtu" where the Emperor Qianlong met the envoy of Gulka in Ziguang Pavilion. Because each picture in the atlas has its own basis and basically conforms to historical facts, it has very important historical data value.
