What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
After Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City, he fled to the concession of Tianjin, where the Japanese learned of his previous identity and took him away like Bao,Butcher, and with the support of the Japanese later, Puyi became the "Emperor of manchuria" in the northeast. Since the Forbidden City arrived in Tianjin, Puyi seems to have fallen to dust from the throne of god, and the government of the Republic of China seems to have forgotten him, no longer allocating living expenses to him. Under such an urgent situation, the treasures handed down from the ancestors could only be sold.
The treasures sold by Puyi are all rare treasures of great value, including Sima Guang's manuscript of "Zizhi Tongjian", the Sui people's "Ode to the Master", the Song Dynasty painter's "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" and "Qingming Shanghe Map", Wang Xizhi's "Cao'e Monument" and "Er Xie Ti", the authentic works of Tang Dynasty calligraphy masters Huai Su and Mi Fu, Tang Dynasty painter Yan Liben's "Step Map" and "Emperor Map of Past Dynasties", and so on, and so on, and today's "Emperor Map of Past Dynasties" and "Female History Zhentu" are still in the hands of foreigners.
Puyi brought out of the Forbidden City a lot of treasures, most of them were sold, and there was given to little Japan, but there is one piece, he never left his body, has always been carried, whether it is during the period of being captured by the Soviet Red Army, or extradited back to China after being sent to the Fushun War Criminals Management Center, Puyi has not shown this treasure, it has been hidden deeply. It was not until the end of 1950 that Puyi gave up the treasure. So what is this treasure? It is the imperial heirloom since Qianlong Ye - the Qianlong Emperor Tian Huang Sanlian Seal of the Qing Dynasty.
This Qianlong Emperor Tian Huang Sanlian Seal was not the official seal used in the royal documents, but the royal seal engraved by Qianlong Ye at that time. The seal is composed of three stone seals and is connected by stone chains, the left stone is square, engraved with the four characters "Qianlong Chenhan"; the middle stone is oval, engraved with the word "Lotte"; and the right stone is square, engraved with the words "Only Jing". The most precious thing is that this Qianlong Emperor Tian Huang Sanlian Seal and its connected stone chain were carved by hand by a large piece of Tian Huangshi.
