Shunzhen Gate, a special one in the Forbidden City, is next to the Shenwu Gate, the north gate of the Forbidden City, that is, the back door. The eunuch palace lady went out of the palace to run errands and went through the back door.
Shunzhen Gate plaque, three positive letters are upright, just like the meaning to be conveyed, "deferential, loyal". This door is the door that the Qing Dynasty talent show girls walked, for many palace women to enter this door means that their lives have changed from now on. It was from here that Cixi went in to participate in the draft.
One of the few surviving photos of the Three Flags Palace Women in the Qing Dynasty, taken during the Guangxu period. Because Cixi had always controlled Guangxu, Guangxu was not free, and even the empress and concubines were arranged by Cixi, so at that time, the draft could not choose concubines.
The tallest showgirl above. Although they were all fourteen years old, the difference in size was quite large. At that time, the draft was completely dominated by Cixi, and many people said that these show girls were ugly, in fact, this was probably related to Cixi's will, because the empress was Cixi's niece, and guangxu ignored her, only with the beautiful concubine. If the women in the palace are beautiful, the queen is even less dramatic.
Positive yellow flag show girl. In the Qing Dynasty, the three banners of yellow, yellow and white were all subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they were collectively called "Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs", referred to as "Three Banners of the Interior". The palace maids were chosen from these three banners.
The Eight Flags Showgirl of the Qing Dynasty must be a woman of pure blood of the Eight Flags official, while the Three Flags Showgirl of the Wrapping Dress comes from a woman from a relatively ordinary family with an official position, and the winner is served as a palace maid and maid in the palace.
Close-up of a showgirl. Because of Cixi, ugly showgirls are given priority, so this is why these showgirls have nothing to do with "harem beauties".
This brand is the brand of the dress show girl, her father's official position is low, she is also very ordinary, from her name can be seen, her name is "eryou". Even if the palace woman is elected, her body must be healthy, and the appearance of the body is "no smell of sores" is the basic condition.
The selection sign hanging on the show girl's body has identity information written on it, and the selected person is left with a sign.
