The only princess buried in a dragon robe, Kangxi's favorite daughter, was opened after the mausoleum was opened
The emperor is the son of heaven, is a god, not a mortal, so in order to highlight the difference between the emperor and ordinary people, the emperor's clothing, food, shelter and travel are unique, the clothes worn by the emperor are dragon robes, and the dragon robes are the symbols of supremacy in ancient times, and the emperor's exclusive service. The emperor wears a five-clawed dragon robe, the minister is a four-clawed python robe, the color of the emperor and the minister also have a clear distinction, only the royal family can use bright yellow, golden, apricot yellow clothes, the minister's clothes can only be blue and stone blue, and only the emperor is bright yellow.
The dragon robe, as a symbol of power, is an extension of the emperor's power, and many people are obsessed with it, but they also stop. When Wu Zetian died, he was also buried as an empress, wearing the costume of the empress, and was buried without wearing a dragon robe, which shows how sacred the dragon robe was in the hearts of ancient people. So no one except the emperor was buried in dragon robes? There was, and was a woman, Kangxi's favorite daughter, Princess Gulun Rongxian.
Princess Gulun Rongxian is the third daughter of Kangxi, and when you see the two words "Gulun", you can see Kangxi's favor for her, "Gulun" is the meaning of the world, is the highest title that a princess can get, and it is also a title that can only be crowned by a concubine. Princess Gulun Rongxian was the first princess of the Qing Dynasty to have a title, and since her two sisters died in advance, she was considered the eldest daughter of Kangxi.
The father-daughter relationship between Kangxi and Princess Gulun Rongxian was very deep, kangxi forty-eight years, Kangxi fell seriously ill, lying in bed, after learning that his father was ill, the princess immediately rushed back to the capital, and after returning, she stayed by Kangxi's bedside, personally feeding soup medicine to her father, serving tea and water. The princess could care so much about Kangxi, and Kangxi's love for her was inseparable, Kangxi had especially loved his third daughter since childhood, and personally found a Ruyi Langjun for her daughter, Urgun, a heroic and warlike Mongol county king, who was quite appreciated by Kangxi. Since Princess Gulun Rongxian married mongolia, Kangxi has made four exceptions to visit Princess Gulun Rongxian in Mongolia, which is a treatment that other princesses are far from receiving, which shows Kangxi's extreme love for his third daughter.
In the sixth year of Yongzheng, Princess Gulun Rongxian died in Mongolia at the age of 56. It was not until the 1970s that the mausoleum of Princess Gulun Rongxian was discovered by experts, and when experts found the princess mausoleum, the mausoleum had been destroyed, so the experts carried out rescue excavations of the mausoleum and opened the princess's mausoleum. Although Princess Gulun Rongxian has been buried underground for more than 240 years, her body has not been damaged in the slightest, her skin has been as elastic as a living person, and what surprises experts even more is that the clothes worn by Princess Gulun Rongxian when she was buried were actually dragon robes, which is unprecedented in Chinese history, and no woman is eligible to wear dragon robes for burial.
This dragon robe is 150 cm long, embroidered with more than 100,000 pearls, pearls weigh more than 3 pounds, and there is a dragon embroidered on each side of the dragon robe, and there are eight dragon patterns in the middle of the dragon robe. The reason why Princess Gulun Rongxian was buried wearing a dragon robe is unknown, but according to folk legends, this dragon robe was a dowry given by Kangxi to the princess, and the Mongols did not know the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty, so after the princess died, the princess was buried in this dragon robe.
