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 precious gourd lasts forever, the eight poles of mankind and heaven rejoice; the gold and yellow flowers flourish, the sun and moon shine brightly in the sky”.

Bamboo

“snow-covered sloping tips lean against the north wind”. The slim bamboo can also tower over the clouds and cling to the green mountains. Between the dense green and sparse shadows, the common sense of all things is revealed, showing the demeanor of a gentleman.

Qing Dynasty, silver and gold-plated account hook with the word “囍”. Chinese tent hooks have a long history. Bronze tent hooks were used as early as the Warring States Period, and they have been used continuously since then. In the Qing Dynasty, palace tent hooks were roughly divided into three categories: wedding celebrations, birthday celebrations, and auspiciousness. This is the wedding celebration category. There are small rings on the tent hooks for hanging, and the word “囍” is created in the middle and at the bottom of the semicircular hook, which can be described as meticulous.

“Beautiful flowers and pavilions leaning on the painted bridge”. Eating fresh food can relieve irritability, and observing postures can purify the mind. The round lotus sheds dew, the gentle breeze spreads the fragrance, and the summer scenery in the pond is overwhelming.

Qing Dynasty, red satin embroidered with a picture of a hundred children. This hundred-child picture account is the left half of the folded account. The account is embroidered with children with different expressions, which means more children and more blessings. Because Emperor Guangxu’s wedding took place in winter, this Baizi picture tent is a folder tent, which is warmer than a gauze tent. This account is made of exquisite materials and superb techniques. It is both practical and ornamental. It is a very exquisite piece of woven and embroidered art.

在palace中文 Look for the beauty of the country in the brocade, and enjoy the colourful colours in the courtyard. After seven days of fragrance-seeking journey, I hope the road ahead will be bright and worry-free, and the fragrance of flowers will always accompany you on a smooth journey!

Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, bright red satin embroidered quilt with golden 囍 pattern for generations. The main color of the quilt is bright red, with gold “囍” patterns embroidered on it. There are also patterns such as pomegranates, bats, gourd vines, lotus round boxes, plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, wishing the emperor and the queen a harmonious married life and future generations. This quilt is not only practical, but also has a beautiful meaning. But good intentions did not change the cruel reality. Emperors Tongzhi and Guangxu, who held wedding ceremonies in the Forbidden City, had no heirs, and the idea of ​​five generations living under one roof became a fantasy.

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…
