Qianlong can be called the most popular emperor of the Qing Dynasty, as the head of a country, there are thousands of beautiful ladies in the harem, all of which are one of the best in a hundred. Different concubines have different styles, but among the favorite concubines in the harem of the Qianlong Emperor, there is a person who is deeply remembered, she is the famous concubine, especially her innate characteristics of self-fragrance, which has been accompanied by aroma since she was born, so she has also received a lot of attention, and even the emperor cannot extricate herself. In fact, there is no record of "Xiangfei" in history, so many people believe that the prototype of Xiangfei is actually the Rongfei of the Qianlong Emperor. Most people are very interested in the peculiar aroma she is born with, even archaeologists, so they tried various methods to study and hoped to find out why. After this reason was finally revealed, this also surprised people and called for the destruction of childhood, for what reason?
In recent years, Qing Palace drama has been very popular, and the drama of various harem concubines has made people very interested in watching, and the role of Xiangfei has also left a good impression on people. Whether it is her dancing in a flock of flying butterflies in "Huan Zhuge Ge", which everyone loved to watch when they were children, or her in "Ruyi Zhuan", they are all topical figures that can make people have a heated discussion.
Although the storylines in the film and television works are different, they all have one thing in common, that is, the natural aroma, so the emperor is also fascinated by her. However, the storyline in the TV series is artificially made up by the screenwriter after all, and it also has an artistic color, so the credibility is not high. Her story has always been fascinating. Legend has it that she "is not close to the jade, the fragrance is striking, that is, it is not a floral fragrance or a pink fragrance, and there is no strange aroma, refreshing the spleen." She was the princess of Huo Jizhan, the Hui chieftain in Xinjiang, who rebelled, Huo Jizhan was killed by the Qing court, and the general Zhaohui captured her and sent her to Qianlong. However, with the ambition of "the country is broken and the family is dead, willing to die", she never followed Qianlong, and was finally given death by the empress. After his death, he was transported back to his hometown for burial, so there is a tomb of a fragrant concubine in Kashgar.
However, no matter how fascinating the legend is, it is far from the historical facts. So what kind of character is the real Xiangfei in history? She carries a "natural scent", is this true or false? Especially where does the aroma on her body come from?
According to the investigation of archaeologists, it was found that in the historical data of the Qing Dynasty, qianlong's concubines did not have concubines with the title of xiang. They believe that her prototype is the historical Concubine Rong, and this has been agreed upon in the academic community. Regarding Concubine Rong, her life is more peculiar.
On September 15, 1734, he was born into a family of the Hezhuo ethnic group in Xinjiang. The Hezhuo are descendants of the Uyghur ancestor Pai Gamubar who lived in Yarkand, and their clan is called Hezhuo, so she is also called Hezhuo. His father was the 29th Huibu Taiji (noble chieftain) Turdu. In May of the 20th year of Qianlong, the Qing army marched into Ili, quelled the Dzungar rebellion for the second time, and rescued the two sons of The Yarkand and Kashgar feudal lord Mahanmut, who were detained by the Dzungars: Yamato Zhuomu and Xiaohe Zhuomu. Unexpectedly, two years later, Xiaohe Zhuomu killed the deputy governor of the Qin faction, Amin Dao, and called himself Batur Khan, and Yamato Zhuomu also held Kashgar, and the two echoed each other, claiming the southern frontier and beginning a large-scale armed rebellion against the Qing.
After that, Turdu Taiji and other tribes that did not want to submit to the split, cooperated with the Qing army, and in the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong, completely quelled the rebellion of the big, small and Zhuo mu. The following year, Turdu and five other households who had contributed to the war, he Zhuo, and Huo jisi and three other upper-class Uyghur people in southern Xinjiang who had made contributions to the suppression of the rebellion were summoned to Beijing one after another to meet Emperor Gaozong. The emperor ordered them to live in Beijing, and sent emissaries to pick up their families and bring them to Beijing, and Feng Turdu was made a first-class Taiji. Turdu's 27-year-old sister was also elected to the palace and canonized as a nobleman. Obviously, this is the political need of the emperor to implement the "system according to customs" after the unification of Xinjiang, that is, political marriage.
When she became a concubine of the Emperor, she was 27 years old, which is not very big today, but by then she was already considered a very old woman.
But even though she's an older woman, her brilliant looks can still make up for that shortcoming. She was very beautiful, with a unique exoticism in her appearance, especially the natural fragrance, so she was favored after becoming the emperor's concubine. As soon as she entered the palace, she was made a nobleman, and soon after, she was also named Concubine Rong. When she died, she was only 54 years old. In the eyes of many people, her burial place is the Tomb of Xiangfei in Xinjiang, which is like a palatial palace, 40 meters high, composed of five parts: the gate tower, the chapel, the great chapel, the church and the main burial chamber. On the dome-shaped dome, there is a delicate tower. At the top of the tower, there is another gilded crescent moon, shining with gold and solemnity.
In the tall and spacious hall of the mausoleum, there is a half-person-high platform, followed by 58 tombs of 72 people in the fifth generation of the Xiangfei family. Her mound is located in the northeast corner of the platform, and her name is written in Uighur and Chinese in front of the mound. The tomb mounds are wrapped in blue glass bricks, and then covered with various patterns of flower cloth, which not only show respect for the deceased, but also have the effect of protecting the tomb mound. To the left of the mausoleum, there are two exquisite Islamic worship temples of various sizes. Behind the mausoleum, there is also a large tomb, and the scenery is very spectacular. But this is not the case. In fact, she was buried with the emperor in the Qing Tombs in what is now Tangshan, Hebei Province, and archaeologists have conducted a series of studies on this, from which a very obvious exotic atmosphere can be seen. Many of the design features of the tomb can be seen to be in the Islamic style of the Hui people, so experts can also know from this that the owner of the tomb should be Qianlong's concubine.
Unfortunately, during the Republic of China period, tomb robbers ransacked the tomb and even destroyed her body. The experts even searched for a long time, but in the end they only found some bits and pieces of bones. In order to uncover the truth about her true identity, experts also conducted a series of identifications of the bones, which were found to be Caucasian bones. As for the strange aroma she was born with, it is not that she was born with a physique with its own aroma, this is just a legend.
Experts have also made many different guesses, for example, because she is from Xinjiang, and the people there are particularly fond of mixing spices, she also has this habit, so after a long time, her body is stained with this aroma, and those who do not understand the situation think that she is fragrant. I have to say that this is actually the reason, it is really unexpected, some netizens are also very shocked after knowing the truth. How I wish she was really perfumed, and the good memories of her childhood were ruined like this, which was very disappointing.
