According to the "Second Year of the Duke of Huan", "FuDe, thrifty and moderate, ascending and descending, cultural relics to the record, declaration to the development, to the hundred officials." ”
In this account, the word "cultural relics" is used. In fact, the use of the word "cultural relics" in Chinese history is the first to be seen here. The meaning is far from the meaning that people know today, in this text, the word "cultural relics" refers to the liturgical music system, in ancient times people used cultural relics to make the noble and the lowly, and the hierarchy was made.
Today's cultural relics refer to the relics and relics left by human beings in the process of historical development.
In China's Beijing Palace Museum, there are many valuable cultural relics in the collection, and each of them has its own unique historical value. It is worth mentioning that one of the cultural relics looks small and exquisite, not brilliant, but its actual value is incalculable, belonging to the national treasure of the country! Speaking of this national treasure, we must also mention a famous figure - the last emperor Puyi.
The incident occurred in 1950, when it was a special period of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, in order to support the country, all sectors of society donated money to let the army use it to buy aircraft cannons, and ordinary people also donated grain and clothing.
At this time, Puyi, the former last emperor who had been successfully transformed, finally gave a treasure to the country after several considerations, a treasure that accompanied him to flee in a hurry and sewn in a cotton coat for 26 years.
When Puyi escaped from the palace, he sewed it in a cotton coat for 26 years without leaving his body, and now it is "a national treasure among national treasures".
1. He was expelled from the Forbidden City and carried the only treasure close to his body
As we all know, after being pulled down from the throne by Yuan Shikai, although Puyi did not have the reality of an emperor, he still lived his own life as a little emperor in the Forbidden City, so carefree until the age of 18.
At that time, Feng Yuxiang led the troops to force Puyi to move out of the palace, and Puyi at that time had no army to guard, and was unable to resist at all, so he could only take as many treasures as possible and leave the palace in a hurry.
At that time, Puyi clearly knew that if he wanted to maintain a superior life, he must have enough treasures, so he had as many as a dozen carriages containing treasures at that time, which was quite amazing. What few people know is that in addition to these treasures, Puyi also risked his life to sew a treasure into his clothes and secretly take it away.
In the days that followed, the government had promised to give Puyi a large amount of living expenses to shrink a little, but in the end there was nothing left, and Puyi, who still regarded himself very highly, naturally could not participate in the work, and the way Puyi maintained his livelihood at that time was to sell all the treasures he had brought out of the palace, maintaining his living standards for a long time without a single decline.
However, Puyi's possession of many treasures is well known, and he did not have enough military strength to protect himself at that time, so it was inevitable that some treasures would be "taken over" by others, coupled with Puyi's extravagant emperor's living standards, resulting in this batch of valuable treasures quickly squandered.
Later, Puyi experienced a life of upheaval and displacement, and the way to make him less turbulent was to bribe others with treasures. However, throughout, Puyi did not take out the treasure he had sewn into his clothes, even in the face of the fierce Japanese. So, what treasure actually made Puyi pay so much attention?
It turned out that the treasure that Puyi stole out of the palace at the risk of being killed was the beloved object of his ancestor The Qianlong Emperor and the pillow that he never left at any time - "Tian Huang SanlianZhang". What is so special about this Tian Huang Triptych?
Second, tianhuang triple seal is customized for Qianlong and is of great value
This Tianhuang Triple Seal was carved by qianlong when he became emperor of the Taishang Dynasty, and ordered many top craftsmen to do so. The material used in Tian Huangshi is a unique "soft gemstone" in China, its material is warm and condensed, ranking first in the soft carved stone, and has always been the production material of the imperial palace seal and other items, and is even revered as the "king of the stone", which can be said to be the best material in the seal.
In this way, the items made of Tian Huangshi are not too rare, what is so special about this Tian Huang Triple Seal?
Tian Huang Triple Seal is composed of three seals, and the three seals are Tian Huangshi, in the three Tian Huangshi chains connected into a whole, Tian Huangshi chain or the use of chain carving techniques, that is, a whole piece of Tian Huangshi hollowed out, so as to carve a whole moving stone chain, the whole chain does not have any traces of crack bonding.
And because tian huangshi is soft, the slightest carelessness will cause the chain to break the stone. This shows the difficulty of the craftsmanship of this TianHuang Three Chain Seal.
Moreover, this Tian Huang Triple Seal is carved from a whole piece of Tian Huangshi raw material, because Tian Huang Jade is generally relatively small. Therefore, if you want to make it like this, in addition to the need for very fine craftsmanship, you also need to have a suitable field yellow stone, which is not comparable to ordinary field yellow stone products.
The Qianlong Emperor, who loved to collect seals, collected as many as thousands of private seals in his lifetime, and the seals that could be favored and collected by Qianlong were naturally not ordinary items. And it is among these thousands of treasures that Tian Huang Sanlian Xi stands out with its unique artistic charm and is deeply cherished by Qianlong and later emperors.
Even when the Qianlong Emperor slept, he still had to put this treasure next to the pillow, which showed the importance Qianlong attached to it.
Puyi also loved Tian Huang Sanlianxi, and did not sell it under difficult circumstances, but in the end, Puyi's way of handling it was unexpected.
Third, it was kept close to the body for 26 years, and finally handed over to the state
The love for Tian Huang Sanlian Seal is because Puyi grew up in the palace, and Tian Huang Sanlian Seal, as an item loved by many emperors, also gradually gained Puyi's favor, so in the face of the forced palace, he did not forget to hide this treasure that Qianlong loved privately out of the palace.
After leaving the palace, Puyi has not had a stable day for many years, so Tian Huang Sanlian xi has been hidden in his clothes and is unknown, so a full 26 years have passed.
Until Puyi returned to society as an ordinary citizen after labor reform in China, at this time he had a new understanding of new China, no longer entangled in the emperor's position, and was willing to be an ordinary citizen.
However, at a time when new China was still in ruins and awaiting resurgence, a new war broke out. China, which had just experienced the Great War, could not bear the coming war again, so countless people spontaneously donated money to help the country win the war.
It was during this period that Puyi handed over the "Tian Huang SanlianZhang" that he had carried with him for 26 years to the government, and since then handed it over to the Palace Museum in Beijing, where it has been preserved to this day.
It can be said that Puyi's life full of stories, this is flat, he handed over not only Tian Huang Sanlianxi, but also his former restoration heart, in the face of a beautiful new China, Puyi is also willing to give up everything, return to plain, and handing over Tian Huang Sanlianxi is the best proof.
brief summary
Readers who know Puyi must be very clear about the ups and downs he has experienced in his life. Originally as an emperor, he encountered one change after another when he was young, and for Puyi, he rose and fell in the whirlpool of other people's struggles almost all his life.
In order to save himself, Puyi sold the treasures brought out of the palace one by one, maintaining his livelihood while also letting others protect himself. However, throughout, he did not sell the Tian Huang Sanlian seal sewn in his arms. It can be seen that Puyi actually has certain feelings for blood inheritance and heirlooms, etc.
In fact, this TianHuang Triple Seal is not just a jade seal, but more importantly, it reflects too much history and culture. Although it is a jade seal, it has witnessed the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and also witnessed the demise of the Qing Dynasty, and even followed Puyi closely and experienced the turbulent life of the last emperor in the new era.
In this small jade seal, it contains the story of the Qing Dynasty, the customs of the Qing Dynasty, and even the emperor's hobbies and the aesthetics of the Qing Dynasty, etc., and too many things are hidden in this Tian Huang Triple Seal. It can be seen that the culture carried by tianhuang triptych has even exceeded the value of tianhuang triptych itself, so it is indeed not too much to call it a national treasure among national treasures.
Therefore, if you have the opportunity to go to the Forbidden City, then it is recommended that this TianHuang Triptych Seal must be appreciated. Not only to appreciate the rarity of its materials and craftsmanship, but most importantly, to be immersed in the scene and experience the cultural connotations.
