What is Yongzheng's preference? How is your temperament?

Yong Zhengdi's hobby: 1. Snuff and snuff bottles. For the sake of the national economy and people's livelihood, Yong Zhengdi vigorously advocated the prohibition of tobacco planting and smoking, and achieved good results. However, Yong Zhengdi had an indissoluble bond with snuff and snuff bottles. Emperors before Yongzheng did not smoke, including snuff. However, Yong Zhengdi, who has always advertised "respecting ancestors", developed the hobby of sniffing snuff only when he advocated banning smoking, which seems to be against the ancestral system. But it should be analyzed objectively, because snuff phenomenon has become a fashionable fashion in the upper class of Qing Dynasty. As the emperor of feudal society, it is naturally beyond reproach to take up this hobby. According to the records of the Qing Dynasty, Yong Zhengdi not only likes snuff, but also likes to play with snuff bottles. He once ordered the snuff bottle to be burned for him and set the style. Through Yong Zhengdi's criticism of the art of making snuff bottles, we can even see that he is an expert in snuff bottles! For example, it is recorded in the archives of the eighth year of Yong Zhengdi (1730):10/20th of the month, Wang Hai, general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, presented a snuff bottle painted with colorful flowing clouds and painted with autumn fragrance of jade rabbit in black paint, which made the jade rabbit useless, and the rest were still made. I admire that. On the same day, Interior Minister Hai Wang was holding a pastel peony snuff bottle. The upper and lower cloud shoulders and mountains are not very good, and the rest of the pattern is still fire. I admire that. Judging from historical records and the remains of snuff bottles in Yongzheng period, Yong Zhengdi has a soft spot for black among many colors. At that time, snuff bottles were mostly made of black or black glaze, or outlined in black and red, forming a unique style of simplicity and solemnity. In order to make a satisfactory snuff bottle, Yong Zhengdi not only ordered many times, but also rewarded those craftsmen who could make it satisfactory. According to records, the highest prize was awarded to the cartographer and the fire maker at one time, each with 22 taels of silver. This award is supreme in honor and considerable in economic benefit. According to the estimation of silver price at that time, twenty taels of silver could be exchanged for five hundred stones of grain. Secondly, playing with dogs seems to be a fashion in today's society. In fact, pet dogs are not exclusive to modern society. More than 200 years ago, Yong Zhengdi liked playing with dogs very much. Yong Zhengdi asked eunuchs to keep many dogs in the palace and often took time to pet them. Some of these dogs are clever and some are naive, which really brings a lot of joy to the busy emperor. Yongzheng personally named them, and his two favorite dogs were called "Imitation Dog" and "Baifu Dog". He also personally designed and made clothes for his dogs. He once designed a tiger pullover with a silky soft lining for dogs. When finished, he felt that the pullover had no ears. After the dog wears it, its ears can only nest in the clothes, which is very uncomfortable. He ordered people to add two ears to the tiger pullover. He also designed a Kirin-style pullover with silk-like soft lining for Baifu dog. After it was finished, Yongzheng was not satisfied, and ordered people to put their eyes and tongues on Kirin pullovers. In this way, the eyes of Baifu dog emerged from the eyes of Kirin, just like a living Kirin. In addition to silk-like dog clothes, Yongzheng also ordered many tiger dog clothes, pig dog clothes, leopard dog clothes and so on. Every dog's clothes, after the dog tries them on, are carefully examined by him personally, and there is no room for carelessness. If it is slightly inappropriate, it must be reworked. For example, if the button on a dog coat is not nailed firmly, it must be nailed again. Some dogs' clothes are made into Pito palms, but Yong Zhengdi thinks this is not good, so he should take them off or put on a beautiful one. Yong Zhengdi not only personally customized dog clothes, but also personally customized dog cages, kennels, dog pads and other appliances for dogs. For example, in the sixth year of Yongzheng (1728), he had a small round dog cage made. The dog cage is made of bamboo and covered with a wool fabric made by Tibetans. Yongzheng's pet dog lives in such a comfortable nest, which can really be called "a hundred blessings" and "nature". Third, I am very obsessed with the immortality of Taoism. Yongzheng is a good Buddha. He worshipped Taoism when he was young. After becoming emperor, he was very busy seeking immortals to visit Taoism and seek immortality. He not only invited Taoist priests into the palace, but also hoped that the palace where he lived could imitate the famous Buddhist temple and Taoist immortal view, including the surrounding environment, so as to facilitate imitation. It can be seen that he is almost obsessed with Taoist immortal theory. According to historical records, there was "seven holes bleeding" in Yongzheng. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, some people also said: "It is said that the fall of Sejong was caused by practicing bait pills, or there was a reason." Yang Naiji, a contemporary scholar, wrote circumstantial evidence that Yong Zhengdi died of Dan medicine poisoning through the first-hand materials such as "each doing his own work and clearing the files" collected by the First Historical Archives of China. Seven-hole bleeding is a serious reflection of poisoning. Yongzheng took pills refined by Taoist priests and the so-called "elixir of life" for a long time. These pills contain high content of mercury, lead, cinnabar and other minerals, and they are all calcined at high temperature and very hot. After Yun Xiang's brother died, it was reasonable for Yongzheng to take Dan medicine in greater doses in order to live forever. Before Qianlong officially ascended the throne, he had issued a decree to expel the Taoist priests in the palace. It can be seen that the death of Yongzheng is closely related to Taoist priests. Because Ganlong knew the harm of erysipelas, he would immediately expel the Taoist priest from the palace above many state affairs. Fourthly, emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong loved porcelain very much and often put forward suggestions to improve the texture and picture. During the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, he not only loved porcelain very much, but also directly intervened in porcelain production and personally decided the shape and decoration of porcelain. He even built a small porcelain kiln in Yangxintang. During this period, the production of blue and white porcelain reached an unprecedented height. The blue-and-white porcelain produced is green and bright, fresh and bright, with distinct layers, especially the blue is as bright and bright as sapphire, crystal clear and smooth. However, in the Kangxi period, enamel porcelain was created by introducing foreign enamel materials. The enamel porcelain in Yongzheng period changed the monotonous pattern and gorgeous style of painting flowers instead of flowers and birds in Kangxi period, and instead combined enamel with traditional calligraphy and painting in China, forming a beautiful and elegant appearance with white background painting as the main feature.
