The website covers five languages: English, French, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish, and will meet the needs of audiences with different languages.

Qing, Fei Yigeng, Zhang Xiong, Meiyue Chang’e picture fan page. This picture is a joint work of Shanghai-style famous artists. Fei Yigeng was the eldest son of Fei Danxu. He inherited his family’s painting skills and was good at painting ladies and flowers. Zhang Xiong, also known as Zixiang, also known as Yuanhu Waishi, specializes in poetry and rhythm. He likes to collect epigraphy, calligraphy and painting, and is good at flowers, birds, figures, and landscapes. His paintings are gorgeous but not vulgar. Together with Ren Xiong and Zhu Xiong, he is known as “Shanghai” “Shang Sanxiong”. It can be seen from the title “Yu Bo Fei used farming to paint Chang’e, Zixiang Zhang Xiong painted plum blossoms” that Fei and Zhang used their respective talents to express the popular folk theme of Chang’e flying to the moon. The moon has a mysterious veil due to its distance. Painters often create images related to the moon, such as the Jade Rabbit, Osmanthus Tree, Chang’e, and Wu Gang, to bring it into the homes of ordinary people.

During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, men’s single court robes were made of sapphire blue silk embroidered with three blue clouds, bats and dragon patterns. The twelve chapters used on the emperor’s court uniform represent the twelve talents and virtues of the monarch. The “moon” and “sun” in the twelve chapters are arranged on both shoulders, which is a metaphor for the emperor’s power being like the light of the sun and the moon, shining in all directions. The moon is often painted with a toad or a white rabbit, which is based on the myth of Chang’e flying to the moon. This blue court robe is embroidered with twelve chapters, in which a jade rabbit is embroidered in the moon, holding a blue pestle stick and carefully pounding medicine. The appearance is very cute…

This picture shows a statue of a Jade Rabbit pounding medicine. Making statues out of clay, oil soil or wax has a long history in our country. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were also clay figurine Zhangs who specialized in statues. The rabbits in the picture are lifelike. They are not only dolls in the hands of children, but also rare handicrafts.

The osmanthus is bright, the flowers are full, and the moon is full. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone !

Qing Dynasty, Mu Guanghan Palace is at the end of the puzzle. This object is a mosaic (prop) used to simply set the scene and create an atmosphere during opera performances in the palace. The craftsmen strive for excellence in production and use layer-by-layer carving techniques to create a distant and near spatial relationship between the rabbit, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and the Guanghan Palace in a limited plane composition. Not only that, the magnificent Guanghan Palace was also carved with splendor and splendor, and even the white jade rabbit that made medicine in the Moon Palace was decorated with gold powder, showing its aura of wealth and nobility…

Crab, also known as “Huang Jia”, often appears on items with the meaning of “passing the imperial examination” because it plays the role of “A” in “Er Jia Chuanlu”.
The crabs in autumn make their debut based on their strength. With the plump crabs accumulated for a year, they become the well-deserved protagonists on the Mid-Autumn Festival table. The ancients had the interest of “holding the pincers to hold the wine”, and also had the practice of spoiling crabs by saying “the pincers of the crab are gold liquid, and the mounds are Penglai”.

The clouds are steaming and the clouds are rising, and the magpie is rising and the rainbow is flying. Hello October! Hello, 74-year-old New China! National Day Happy China, People’s Republic of China.

Exterior view of Kunning Palace. Kunning Palace is located on the central axis to the north of Qianqing Palace. It was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420) and was the residence of the empress of the Ming Dynasty. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was renovated. The renovated Kunning Palace was nine rooms wide and three rooms deep. The west side was a place for worship, and the east side was a wedding room. This followed the system of the queen being in the middle palace. Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu all held weddings here. Although Dongnuan Pavilion is a place for holding ceremonies, it is not suitable for living. Therefore, after the wedding, the queen usually moves elsewhere. For example, the empress of Zhi Emperor lived in Chuxiu Palace and the empress of Guangxu Emperor lived in Zhongcui Palace

Panoramic view of the bridal chamber of Kunning Palace. The bridal chamber originally referred to a deep and secret room, and later specifically referred to the wedding room, also known as the wedding room. The bridal chamber of Kunning Palace was originally used for the wedding of Emperor Kangxi. The subsequent emperors were already married before taking the throne, so it was not used again until Emperors Tongzhi and Guangxu. The bridal chamber of Dongnuang Pavilion has a kang bed to the south and two rooms to the north separated by bright pillars. Both rooms have a floor-to-ceiling kang bed with a dragon and phoenix character “囍” and vines and gourd patterns. The northeast kang (outer north kang) is the living room, with mattresses, backrests, handrails, etc. on the kang, and the northwest kang (inner north kang) is the bedroom. The floor is covered with a large red carpet, embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, and the golden character “囍” embroidered between the dragon and phoenix, echoing the golden character “囍” on the wooden shadow wall.

Kunning Palace bridal chamber waist knife. The Manchus are martial people, and this tradition can still be reflected in wedding items. This knife is hung on the pillar of the bridal chamber, which has the same meaning as the bow and arrow bag hung along the nose pillar of the bridal chamber. According to the records of the Qing Palace, such weapons were only hung during festivals, not only for the sake of martial arts but also to ward off evil spirits.

Interior view of the bridal chamber of Kunning Palace. In the bridal chamber, there is a floor-to-ceiling kang bed with a gourd and vine pattern of “囍” and dragon and phoenix, and a tent with a dragon and phoenix in auspicious “囍” pattern. A bedding is placed on the kang, and a plaque hangs “the sun rises and the moon stays forever.” There is a saying in the book of the emperor and empress of Tongzhi that “the two rituals of movement and coordination will make the husband smooth; the light will shine on the four sides, and the rising sun will praise the husband and the moon.” Therefore, the plaque contains the meaning of blessing. The vine gourd symbolizes the endless supply of melons, which corresponds to the couplet on the indoor wall: “The treasures last forever, the eight poles of mankind and heaven rejoice; the gold and yellow flowers bloom together, the sun and the moon shine brightly in the sky”

Qing Jiaqing, cyan satin mouth full of osmanthus and begonia rabbit pattern oval purse. The dowry of Emperor Guangxu and his wife contained two bundles of needlework, with one hundred and ninety-one boxes each. The dossier list for the wedding of Emperor Tongzhi recorded that the Ministry of Internal Affairs planned to prepare 200 locks of gold thread and 200 locks of silver thread. The emperor increased the number to 400. Lock. These are the needlework tools and materials that the queen will use in her future work as a prostitute. It can be seen from the numerous handicrafts performed by the concubines in the palace that the Empress attaches great importance to her responsibility as a mother to the world. This purse is embroidered with the scene of the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine under the blooming osmanthus tree. It is the embodiment of folk customs in palace supplies and is also a representative work of the work of the queen in the palace.

The osmanthus moon falls in the middle of the moon, and the fragrant clouds float outside.
Last night, the opening ceremony of the Asian Games was scented with osmanthus.
In autumn, the fragrance of osmanthus can be smelled in the wind in the Forbidden City.

During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhan Yougan made Yue Jingmo. It is an ink rectangle, with a three-legged toad filled with gold on the front, floating in the sea, breathing clouds from its mouth, with a bright moon arching above it, and the word “Moon Essence” beside it. The back is filled with a gold inscription: “Zai begets tyranny, Zai brings brightness, looking at the blank, looking at the fullness. What is too thin and clear? The gold essence and water vapor contain Xuanying.” There is also an inscription “Zhan Youqian made according to the map”. On one side are the inscriptions “Mid-Autumn Festival of Jiaqing Jisi Year”, and on the top there are four words “Guizhen Qingshang”. Yuejing ink is a style made by famous ink makers Fang Yulu and Cheng Junfang in the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen in “Fang’s Ink Book” and “Cheng’s Ink Garden”. This ink is self-consciously “made according to drawings”, and it must be based on the book. . Its quality is strong and moisturizing, dark and shiny, and its production quality is no less refined than the original. It is also quite outstanding among the ink products handed down to commemorate the Jiaqing period..

Holding the mountains, the sound of urgent drums is like ten thousand horses rushing with silver saddles. The tide surges in the east, and only “the tide-rider stands up to the head of the wave, holding the red flag in his hand without getting wet.” With the axis of Yuan Jiang’s “Tide Watching” from the Qing Dynasty, we pay tribute to every Asian Games athlete who bravely braved the waves!

Qing Daoguang, red satin flat gold lock embroidered osmanthus rabbit pattern flower basket purse. The moon is the eternal theme of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Whether among the people or the court, what people want is family reunion. The theme of the jade rabbit pounding medicine can be found everywhere in the palace. There are also cases where the jade rabbit is no longer pounding medicine, but is made into a human shape or various postures. Among the many daily handicrafts of the concubines, there are also jade rabbit themes. This purse is embroidered with gold locks on red satin. A docile white rabbit is lying under the fruit-bearing osmanthus tree, enjoying the fragrance of osmanthus. There is a yellow strip attached to the purse with the words “Mid-Autumn Festival” written in ink on it, indicating that this purse is specially made for worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The page “Pictures of Birds (qú) and Eagles (yù) in Autumn Trees” now collected in the Palace Museum is a color painting on silk created by a painter from the Song Dynasty. In autumn, a mandarin duck is perched on a tung tree, its sharp claws clenching the branches, twisting its neck and looking sideways as if listening. The bird’s eyes are sharp, its body is plump, its tail is neat, its feathers are black and shiny, while its leaves are covered with insect damage, curled up and withered in color. The composition is strange and abrupt, which is very unusual.

The owl, also known as the starling, has a black body with white spots on its wings. It usually forages on the ground and will perch on trees or eaves when not looking for food.

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.
