Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Jiang Pu, and the laurel rabbit in the moon scroll. This is a painting that is cleverly conceived and combines work and writing. The painter Jiang Pu, who was a poet during the Qianlong Dynasty, used the round shape of the moon as the outer frame of the painting to depict the quiet scenery of the Moon Palace. In the picture, the Jade Rabbit turns its head obediently and stares at the osmanthus tree. The osmanthus tree has a unique shape, with its branches naturally curved along with the round frame. The stamens of the sweet-scented osmanthus are dyed with yellow, and the bright colors not only enrich the picture, but also add warmth to the lonely moon palace.

Qing Dynasty, Li Shizhuo, with Osmanthus and Moon Rabbit. Li Shizhuo, the nephew of the painter Gao Qipei. He successively served as magistrate of the state, deputy censor of the capital, minister of Taichang Temple, etc., and was known as “Li Taichang”. His paintings of landscapes, figures, and flowers are all exquisite, with elegant brushwork and elegant colors. He once learned finger painting from Gao Qipei and was very good at using his fingers as well as his brushwork. This picture depicts a white rabbit lying among the grass, looking up at the fragrant osmanthus tree and the bright moon. Through subtle and aesthetic artistic techniques, he hinted at the beautiful and romantic legend between the Jade Rabbit, the Osmanthus Tree and the Moon Palace.

Qing, Lu Han, and Gong’e play with the moon. “Wanyue” means “watching the moon”, “appreciating the moon” and “appreciating the moon”. The moon is constantly changing in people’s eyes. As Xu Zhao of the Song Dynasty pointed out in the poem “Wan Yue”, it “is like a golden hook at first, and will be like a jade plate when it is full.” Therefore, watching the waxing and waning of the moon at night is a romantic thing, and it is also something that men, women, and children enjoy. This painting of a lady has a simple composition, depicting a young woman holding a fan in hand, leaning on a stone in the courtyard to admire the moon. The brushwork is meticulous, the colors are elegant, and the style is graceful.

On the 20 September 2023 a beautiful Beijing sunset No one is allowed to miss today’s sunset. fall in love with the Forbidden City …..

Qing, Anonymous, Mid-Autumn Festival Jiarui Picture Scroll. This is a painting created by a Qing court painter, showing a boy and a concubine spending the Mid-Autumn Festival together. There are many characters in the whole volume, but the author combines art with life, and cleverly uses the plot and the childishness in it to condense the scattered small entertainment groups into a lively whole. At the same time, the author focused on expressing the lively and joyful emotions of children when they were playing, and combined their forms and spirits together, thus enhancing the appreciation of the painting and expressing the festive theme of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qing, Anonymous, Mid-Autumn Festival Jiarui Picture Scroll (Part). This part shows the author’s ingenuity in creation. He painted the back screen behind the statue into an oval, and painted on it the rabbits, Guanghan Palace, osmanthus trees, etc. that people imagined the moon palace should have, thus using the oval as both the frame of the back screen and the symbol of the moon. The outline adds extra interest to the painting.

The acceptance and demand for tea drinking has enhanced the exchanges between various regions, ethnic groups, and classes in China throughout history; tea drinking utensils and tea preparation methods are becoming increasingly similar, which is a manifestation of the deepening degree of exchanges. In “One is Two”, Emperor Qianlong is dressed in Han Chinese clothing and is sitting on a couch admiring various tea sets and utensils of different dynasties and national styles; the title in the blank space is “One is two, neither is nor separation. Confucianism and Mohism But, why worry, why think?” This shows Emperor Qianlong’s profound view on the inseparable relationship between Confucianism and Mohism.

From the gathering of treasures from past dynasties to the exchange and integration of ideas and theories, the cultural essence of different time and space is presented in the paintings, which reflects the eclectic nature of Chinese civilization and is the epitome of the evolution of the pluralistic unity of the Chinese nation….

Qing, Anonymous, Mid-Autumn Festival Jiarui Picture Scroll (Part). There are various images of rabbits in this scroll, including not only rabbit statues and paintings as works of art, but also real rabbits interacting with children. In the moon palace, docile rabbits are the gods used to make longevity medicine; in real life, they are the happy playmates of children.

Emperor Qianlong once wrote a poem praising crape myrtle as “always blooming with light color in summer, and also emitting light fragrance before the wind”, which is fitting.

Crape myrtle has the same pronunciation as the “Emperor Star” Ziweixing. It has been widely planted in the palace since the Tang Dynasty because of its long-lasting flowering period and bright and lovely appearance. It is also called the “official flower” because it refers to Zhongshu Province. The seventh month of the lunar calendar is a time when all the flowers are blooming. “Sunflowers pour into the sun, hostas scratch your head, crape myrtle soaks in the moon, hibiscus blooms…” Hollyhocks, crape myrtles, cockscombs, etc. have all been nominated as moonflowers by literati in different periods. . The crape myrtle flower may not be the most gorgeous and graceful among them, but it is unique because of its freshness and delicateness….

Qing, Leng Mei, Gao Qiu Wan Yue chart axis. Leng Mei was a disciple of Jiao Bingzhen, a court painter of the Kangxi Dynasty. His neat and meticulous brushwork and beautiful colors were highly appreciated by Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong. This picture depicts a scribe climbing a high pavilion and looking at the bright moon. In the lower left corner of the painting, there is Leng Mei’s self-inscription “Writing on the Mid-Autumn Festival in Gengxu”, which shows that the painting was painted during the Mid-Autumn Festival and depicts the scene of admiring the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. On August 15th, the autumn air is crisp and clear. The moon is not only full and bright, but also the best place to watch. At this time, people look to the moon to remember, or associate the full moon with reunion, hoping for a happy family; or they look to the autumn wind to ask if Chang’e and the Jade Rabbit are well in the moon palace.

Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Leng Mei, Emperor Qianlong observing the moon. The court painter Leng Mei once painted “Moon Appreciation”, which depicts the scene of elegant scholars looking at the moon in reverie during the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in August. Emperor Qianlong liked this painting very much and ordered Leng Mei to replace the scribe in the original painting with himself, depicting him wearing Hanfu and admiring the moon under the laurel tree with Ruyi in his arms. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, admiring the full moon and looking forward to family reunion are beautiful wishes shared by emperors and common people.

Qianlong, Jinnong, and Yuehua scrolls of the Qing Dynasty. In traditional Chinese culture, the moon is mystical and poetic because of its distance. In ordinary paintings, it often appears as a supplementary scene, but in this painting, Jin Nong directly expresses the moon as the main subject, which can be described as unique. The whole picture is extremely simple, with only a full moon depicted. Within the moon, the author uses light ink to draw the blurry images of jade rabbits pounding medicine and osmanthus trees. Outside the moon, the author uses green, ocher, and yellow as the main colors. Through the overlapping of colors, the bright and bright light of the moon is highlighted, which shows Jin Nong’s extraordinary imagination and bold expressiveness. The inscription on the lower right side of the painting reads, “The picture of the Moonlight is sent to Mr. Shutong for appreciation, the seventy-five-year-old gold farmer”, indicating that it was a gift to a friend.

Qianlong Qing Dynasty, Chen Mei, Yue Man Qingyou Picture Album. Chen Mei, whose courtesy name was Zaidong and whose names were Dianluan and Zhiwotoutuo, was from Lou County (now Songjiang, Shanghai). In the early years of Yongzheng’s reign, he was recommended by the court painter Chen Shan and became a royal painter. His paintings studied the Northern Song Dynasty style and were influenced by the Western painting style of Lang Shining in the court. The images he created were exquisite and nuanced, with strong modeling ability and artistic expression that conveyed the spirit through form. He was deeply appreciated by Emperor Yongzheng and Emperor Qianlong. During the Qianlong Dynasty, Chen Mei drew the “Yueman Qingyou Tu” in accordance with the emperor’s decree. According to the order of the twelfth lunar month in the Chinese lunar calendar, it showed the recreational activities of the beauties in the palace and garden in each month. This picture is the first in the album. It depicts the scene of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, when beauties ascend to the Qiong Tower to recite poems, admire the moon, and look forward to family reunions.

During the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, Dong Bangda’s “Enjoyable Illustrations of Remaining Things” in Hongli Shu’s Autumn Post Ci Volume (partial). This is a calligraphy and painting scroll with the theme of Mid-Autumn Festival and the emperor and ministers of the Qianlong Dynasty. It begins with the four words “enjoyable things” written by Emperor Qianlong, and also begins with the imperial inscription “Draft a poem for the Mid-Autumn Festival and order the Imperial Academy and others to harmonize it”. Next, Dong Bangda (a Jinshi in the 11th year of Yongzheng’s reign, from Hanlin official to Minister of Rites) painted the Mid-Autumn Festival scene of the Chengde Summer Resort, the imperial palace outside the Great Wall. The bright moon is in the sky, and there are people admiring the moon in a grass pavilion near the river. Some people set up tables to worship the moon, hoping for happiness and contentment. At the end of the volume are poems by Liang Shizheng, Minister of Household Affairs, Qian Chenqun, Minister of Justice, and Emperor Qianlong. For Emperor Qianlong, appreciating the moon was appreciating the heart. Reunion with his family was important, and harmonious relationships with his courtiers were equally important.

The floating haze is warm and emerald, the branches and leaves support the Su, and the ribbon bird can be seen inhabiting the branches among the shadows of the trees, just like “the fairy in the forest”. Ribbon birds are colorful, with a dark blue glow on the head, neck and crest. When the ribbon bird is engraved on the cultural relics, it meets thousands of flowers, carrying people’s hopes and blessings. The ribbon is an ornament that marks the official rank. The name “ribbon” means to increase the rank and rank, and because “ribbon” and “shou” have the same pronunciation, it also means longevity. Therefore, the ribbon bird has the meaning of good fortune and longevity, which was deeply loved by the ancients.

Modern times, the queen’s gold book. After Puyi abdicated, according to the “Preferential Treatment Conditions of the Qing Dynasty”, he still lived a life of “little court” in the inner court of the Forbidden City, and married Wanrong as the queen according to the wedding ceremony of the Qing emperor. This is the golden book that canonized Wanrong, with a total of ten pages. It reads: “Xuantong’s fourteenth year…the daughter of Rongyuan…I hereby take Baolier as the queen…” The “little imperial court” still uses the Xuantong year name, “Xuantong fourteen years” is the eleventh year of the Republic of China (1922).

去我们一起来读计划 Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, Jin Xi character Ruyi, Yubi dragon character axis. In the Qing Dynasty, the phoenix of the emperor’s wedding to please the queen had a built-in “dragon” character axis, gold ruyi, and apples. In folk weddings, the groom goes to the bride’s house to meet the bride in person, but the emperor is supreme, and when he marries the queen, he sends envoys to greet him, so the word “dragon” is used as the groom’s incarnation. In many ceremonies of the emperor’s wedding, Ruyi and apples were used, implying auspiciousness and peace. This gold ruyi is in a three-inlaid style, with a raised “囍” character on the first, middle and tail parts, with a red “囍” knot and silk tassels underneath. Jin Ruyi and the “Dragon” scroll are placed together in a yellow brocade box, and the scroll is engraved with “The Treasure of Empress Dowager Cixi’s Royal Brush”, which was used for the wedding of Emperor Guangxu.

It is extremely cool!

Gardenia, also known as scorpion, has a soft and elegant floral fragrance. “Snowflakes and ice flowers are cool and clear, and the deep part of the song bar is bright and spiritual.” Gardenia is white in color, and its six petals are like snowflakes.

The kneeling in the upper right corner of the screen is the father of the queen-to-be. After that, the envoy will hand over the emperor’s gold festival to the eunuch, and place it on the festival case in the middle of the inner hall. The eunuch and female officials will present the ceremony to the queen in the inner hall, and award the gold book and the queen’s treasure.
