Who lived in Shufangzhai?

1. Although only emperors can live in Shufangzhai, Princess Jade and Princess Tong of the Tongzhi Emperor in the late Qing Dynasty both lived in Shufangzhai's room until Feng Yuxiang's revolution.

2. Mei Lanfang,,, Ma, etc. They were all performed on the stage of Shufangzhai, and Puyi also performed here for three days and three nights when she got married.

Shufangzhai is the essence of traditional palace architecture in China. Located on the east side of the Chinese Palace in the Palace Museum, it was originally the first of five places in western Gansu, and was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1420). After Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty ascended the throne, he changed the West Second Palace into the Chinese Palace, so he changed his face to Shufangzhai, and built a stage in the Chinese Palace as a place for banquets and performances.

At present, the building and interior decoration of Shufangzhai are in good condition, and it is the VIP reception desk of the Palace Museum, where national and foreign leaders can rest when visiting the Forbidden City. It is a closed area where tourists are not allowed to enter. After Xuan Tong abdicated, the Tongzhi emperors Yu Fei and Tong Fei lived in Lan Zhi Room of Shu Fangzhai. On the birthday of Taifei, they still played here until Puyi was forced to "leave the palace that day".
