After the Qing Dynasty entered Shanhaiguan, only four of the ten emperors were honored as "angels"

Core Tip: Qing Dynasty, from Shunzhi to Xuan Tong. Among the ten emperors, only Shunzhi, Kangxi, Tongzhi and Guangxu. The weddings of these four emperors were all held in the Forbidden City, which was called the "big wedding". The last emperor Puyi also held a wedding in the Forbidden City, but it was already the Republic of China. This article is taken from the 44th edition of Beijing Evening News 20 101October 22nd. Author: Ren Wanping, original title: "The emperor marries an envoy" Matchmaker Location: Capital Library Speaker: Ren Wanping. Only four emperors enjoy the wedding treatment. Today, I mainly talk about some knowledge about the emperor's wedding. Everyone thought that the Qing emperor lived in the Forbidden City and should get married there, but it was not. If the emperor holds a wedding in the Forbidden City, there must be such a premise. He was still very young when he became emperor, and he couldn't hold a wedding in the palace until he was of marriageable age. If he gets married before he becomes emperor, then he will hold a simple ceremony after he inherits the throne. Qing Dynasty, from Shunzhi to Xuan Tong. Among the ten emperors, only Shunzhi, Kangxi, Tongzhi and Guangxu. The weddings of these four emperors were all held in the Forbidden City, which was called the "big wedding". The last emperor Puyi also held a wedding in the Forbidden City, but it was already the Republic of China. The four emperors mentioned above were all very young when they acceded to the throne. Kangxi is the oldest, only 8 years old, and Guangxu is the youngest, only 4 years old. However, as we all know, the age of marriage in Yong Zhengdi is not clearly recorded in the literature.

The queen and the queen will live here. After staying here, the queen's family can no longer contact. Because people already belong to the emperor, others can't get close. The palace will also send eunuchs and guards to serve. The future queen or queen enters the stage of premarital ceremony. How did the "angel" become a matchmaker? As for the premarital ceremony, it includes "receiving gifts" and "receiving gifts". When the "recruiting talents" was held, the queen waited at home, the emperor chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and then held the "recruiting talents ceremony". The "gift of accepting talents" means that the emperor appointed a specific envoy to the queen's family. Being an ambassador is not easy. Important princes and ministers first provided the emperor with a list of candidates, and then the emperor delineated who would become ambassadors. Ambassador Naked also has a deputy named Deputy Ambassador Naked. Some media said "that's an angel" and "that's an assistant angel". Why did the emperor's matchmaker suddenly become an angel? The "talent messenger" must first go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accept the "Wanshou Festival" and hold this festival to exercise the rights on behalf of the emperor. As we all know, some foreign officials are now called "envoys", which is actually short for "keeping festivals". When people are engaged, they will also bring some small gifts to the woman's family. When the emperor gets married, he has to go through formalities and give gifts. The Qing Dynasty was a country of riding and shooting. He never forgot his riding and shooting fashion, so he sent horses, armor, cloth and money. In the early days, geese were sent, just like birds. Go south when it is cold, and go north when it is hot. Explain that girls should be polite and know what to do and what not to do. After the ceremony, that is, after the matchmaker has finished speaking, the bride's family will also thank the matchmaker by inviting him to dinner and sending some gifts. But the emperor is supreme. He also held a Naxi banquet. The emperor ordered people to prepare the banquet in the queen's house instead of inviting people from the palace. It was the royal family that organized the Naxi banquet to thank the queen's father. It means that a family like theirs has raised such a good daughter for the Great Qing Dynasty, and it is against the folk custom for the emperor to treat his father-in-law at home.
