Pu Yi revealed the secrets of the emperor's cave before and after
There is a beautiful encounter waiting in everyone's life, let us get rid of the mediocrity, and believe that one day we will meet the destined other and her, just like making a wish to the sky, hoping that everything will come true.
When true love comes, we all want to spend our lives with the person we love the most.
In China's ancient marriage system, it is the primary task of the people to marry men and women and reproduce their offspring. As a result, the process is fraught with complex procedures and rituals. Parents usually look for a suitable partner for the protagonist, but because of the importance of filial piety, the protagonist usually needs to listen to their parents' decisions.
Once the bride has been chosen, the man's family needs to visit and propose marriage, and invite the matchmaker to ask for instructions. Such a process was regarded as a sacred and solemn ritual in ancient times, filled with joy and blessings.
If both families are willing, they need to exchange Geng posts and dates of birth with each other, and let the husband check the eight characters of the two. In ancient times, it was believed that everything was determined by the eight characters, just as young people now look at each other's horoscopes when they fall in love.
The exchanged Geng Ti needs to be placed under a clean teacup in front of the Stove God for three days. If there are emergencies such as chickens flying and dogs jumping in the family during these three days, it is considered to be providential, implying that the two are not suitable to be together, then this family affair will be canceled.
If nothing like this happens, you can get married and prepare for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, the man needs to go to the woman's house to greet the woman, and kneel down to worship the woman's parents, heaven and earth, and bow to each other, so that the wedding is basically completed.
Finally, after the man sees off the guests, he will go back to the room to lift the bride's hijab and start the candle night in the cave room.
The process of the emperor's marriage is no different from that of a commoner, but due to the dignity and luxury of the emperor's status, he cannot go to the woman's house in person to marry, send a post, and ride a horse to marry the bride like ordinary people.
Therefore, the emperor will send his guards to complete these things in his place, which is also to maintain the emperor's noble status and image.
When the emperor got married, the wedding cave was not fixed in one place, usually a few days before the wedding, the palace staff would choose a dormitory to temporarily serve as the wedding cave room.
In addition, the other processes of the emperor's wedding are not significantly different from the popular wedding. Before the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was no fixed pattern for the choice of royal wedding cave rooms, until the Ming Dynasty, the emperor married the queen and held it in the dormitory called Kunning Palace.
Kunning Palace is not a place where anyone can live, it only has the right to live if it is the queen of the dynasty and the mother of a country.
The wedding customs of the Qing Dynasty were unique, and the Manchus paid more attention to the wedding ceremony after the creation of the dynasty, making it more solemn and cumbersome. On this day, the bride is admitted to the royal palace, and the order of entry is also very particular.
First of all, the palace ladies will carefully prepare luxurious flowers for the bride to sit in.
The eunuchs carried the palanquin, the ladies accompanied them, and the bride had to cover her entire face with a red hijab until the emperor lifted it. She would follow the procession, entering through the Great Qing Gate, walking every road until the place where the Emperor had ascended to the early court.
Numerous ministers will bow down and await the arrival of the future mother of the nation with the emperor. After completing these ceremonies, the empress will be taken to the Kunning Palace to rest and await the arrival of the emperor.
The room for this wedding was gorgeous and far removed from the lives of ordinary people. The whole layout is dominated by red, the surrounding walls are covered in red paint, two exquisite red lanterns hang from the doorway, the windows are plastered with delicate "Xi" characters, candles are lined up, and the room is brilliantly lit.
A screen was installed in front of the bed to provide a private space for the emperor and empress to spend time together without interruption. There are hundreds of quilts on the bed, which means many children and many blessings. After the emperor enters the palace, he needs to drink the wedding wine prepared by the palace maid with the queen, add the roasted meat to the cup, and then uncover the queen's hijab, and the two can spend time together.
However, there are certain rules in the order, after the emperor, the queen goes first, and the emperor accompanies on the right side. Although Pu Yi had already lived in the ** period, the wedding procedures for his marriage to Wanrong were still similar to those of the Qing Dynasty.
In the dormitory where she waited for Pu Yi, she was anxious and shy.
Pu Yi's experience in the Heart Cultivation Hall made him feel deeply unsatisfied, and he was in a low mood and drank a glass of wine with Wanrong. However, a surprising thing happened at this banquet.
The wine was mixed with meat, and the ladies would ask the emperor if the meat was cooked or raw. Pu Yi chose the cooked one, which surprised the palace maids. Because in traditional Chinese culture, cooked meat means that there will be no heirs.
Pu Yi's choice is undoubtedly a slap in the face, implying that he is unable to have children. Wanrong was also confused, but she gladly agreed to Pu Yi's request because she wanted to do her part to help him.
Pu Yi actually fell asleep alone in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and let the noble queen hold a wooden stick all night. Wanrong knelt in front of the bed all night, and her enthusiasm for Pu Yi also cooled.
Marriage is an important part of our lives, and it is a wonderful thing to spend the rest of our lives with loved ones and support each other. It is very happy to have a partner who is always by your side and by your side.
Although there is no couple in the world who can completely avoid quarrels, their happy endings are all determined after countless fights and hurts.
At the moment of marrying our beloved, we spent a lot of effort and energy. And after marriage, we should also use the same enthusiasm and love to let the other party feel the joy and happiness on the wedding day.
Although we may sometimes be at odds with words, as long as we have love in our hearts, we can make that love bloom forever.
