One day in 1791, Qianlong suddenly wanted to think of Xiangfei, at this time, he was 80 years old, and it had been 3 years since Xiangfei's death. In the face of the Baoyue Lou where Xiangfei lived before her death, this Qing Emperor, who was particularly fond of writing poetry, also gave Xiangfei a poem: Thirty-year-old paintings are like day and night, and the new Zheng chants the past and the present. Whether this poem is good or bad, it inadvertently tells people the fact that the fragrant concubine has a portrait, and future generations can see her beautiful face. And through these, it seems that we can infer whether the incense concubine is really incense.
Who is Xiangfei? True XiangFei is Concubine Rong
Consort Rong (15 September 1734 – 24 May 1788) was a Uyghur of the Huo Zhuo clan (also known as the He Zhuo clan). The legendary Xiangfei prototype, born on September 15, 12th year of Yongzheng, was the daughter of Ali and Zhuo. In the twenty-second year of Qianlong (1757), the Huibu Da, Xiao and Zhuo launched a rebellion, the Qing Dynasty sent troops into Huijiang to quell the rebellion, Ipal Khan's fifth uncle Ese Yin and brother Tur all cooperated with the Qing army and made battle achievements, after Qianlong twenty-four years (1759) put down the rebellion, Qianlong made Ese Yin the Duke of Fuguo, Feng Turdu was a first-class Taiji (second only to the title of The Duke of Fuguo), and Turdu sent his sister Iprahhan into the palace to show friendship.
It can be seen that Qianlong only married Concubine Xiang for the stability of the motherland's frontiers and to "repay" those heroes or heroes who defended the motherland's frontiers. After archaeology and research by historians, Xiangfei is the Concubine Rong in the literature, who was named "Heguiren" after entering the palace, and her identity in the palace was listed as the main position, and she was a concubine favored by Qianlong, which was no longer controversial.
The "Qing History Manuscript And The Biography of The Later Concubines" also says this: Rong Concubine, And Zhuo Shi, Huibu Taiji and ZaLain. Entering the palace for the first time, the number of nobles. Progressive as a concubine. swarming.
Is it really fragrant? The name Xiangfei appeared a hundred years after her death
There are thousands of women in the world, but there are very few who can "incense", or even none.
According to the legend, Xiangfei can "not fake smoking" on the "body has a different fragrance", according to the physiological characteristics of people, everyone will secrete some odors through the sweat glands, sebaceous glands, the smell of people's internal organs will also be discharged through some organs of people, almost one person has a taste, some smell is strong, some are lighter. Does the scent on Xiangfei's body belong to this smell?
According to the research so far, the earliest appearance of the name of the fragrant concubine is the "Western Xinjiang Miscellaneous Poems" written by Xiao Xiong in the eighteenth year of Guangxu (1892) Volume IV "XiangniangNiang Temple", which has the phrase "female companions to the Fragrant Niangniang". He further wrote in the appendix: "Xiang Niangniang, a Kashgar during the Qianlong period, was born extraordinary, had an aromatic body, and was truly sexual, and because of her Oedipus, she returned home. ”
In 1892, it had been more than 100 years since the death of Xiangfei, and before that there was no such thing as "Xiangniangniang", so the historical Rongfei becoming Xiangfei should be the work of the literati. But what really makes people widely known about Xiangfei is not Xiao Xiong, but a painting. In 1914, the Antiquities Exhibition Center of the Forbidden City transferred a number of cultural relics from the Imperial Palace in Shenyang and the Chengde Mountain Resort for exhibition, including a portrait of a young woman.com. In the explanatory text below the portrait, it is clearly stated: "Princess Xiang, Princess Huibu also." Beautiful posture, born with a different fragrance, not fake smoked, the number of the chinese people is known as the fragrant concubine. From then on, the name of the fragrant concubine was greatly shaken.
Is it really fragrant? Yang Yuhuan is also said to be incense, and the great poet Li Bai once wrote such a poem for her: "A branch of red dew condenses incense, and the cloud and rain Wushan break the intestine." Borrowing from the Han Palace who has to be like, poor Fei Yan leans on the new makeup. The meaning of the first sentence is that Yang Yuhuan is like a red peony, fragrant, gorgeous and fragrant. We don't know whether Yang Yuhuan is fragrant, but what we know is that poets like Li Bai fried Yang Yuhuan very "fragrantly".
There were ancients before, and there were comers after them, and the techniques were the same, and the same was true for xiangfei to be able to "incense".
What does Xiangfei herself look like?
There are four kinds of portraits known as Xiangfei that have been handed down to the world: one is a bust dressed in red flag clothes; the other is a bust wearing European-style armor and holding a battle knife; the other is a seated portrait of a Western-style long skirt, a hand-held flower basket, a flower spatula in the other hand, and a cool hat on the head; and the fourth is a bust of The Xiangfei Jifu taken by Lady Lu of Taicang in the Tanglin Yufei Garden.
Experts believe that the young woman dressed in red, with her slightly sunken eye sockets, bulging nose bridge, round face, and slightly higher cheekbones, is a typical appearance of a woman with a feminine and delicate back. Moreover, Princess Rong's skull was restored by the relevant departments, and it is believed that she herself has a round face, high cheekbones, and a slightly prominent forehead, which is quite consistent with the portrait. That is to say, only this painting is closer to Xiangfei herself.
Bust experts in European-style armor and holding a combat knife have their say.
Shan Shiyuan (1907-1998), cultural relics expert. He once served as a clerk, clerk and compiler of the Palace Museum, a codmist of the China Construction Society, and a professor at the University of China and France. He was one of the witnesses at that time, and later recalled: "At that time, a few colleagues and I said according to an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of China Government, 'This is probably the Xiangfei', and taking into account the social and economic benefits at that time, it was agreed that there was no historical data, it was wrong, it was an irresponsible act, and it should be corrected. Later, Mr. Zhu Jiaxuan, a senior expert of the former Palace Museum, specially wrote an article entitled "The Origin of the Name of the "Xiangfei Rong Costume Statue"", which further denied that the painting was a xiangfei statue.
That is to say, the popular xiangfei is not the historical xiangfei, the popular is a painting, and people mistake her for the xiangfei. Whether the other two portraits are fragrant concubines or not, we still don't know, all because she is the incense concubines that people imagine. At this time, it was already obvious whether the fragrant concubine was incense, the ancients clouded: "Powder sweat condenses incense." "It should be a literary means and spices of cosmetics added together. (Text/Lu Sheng)
