Title: Puyi sewed the jade seal in intimate clothing, fled for 26 years without leaving his body, and now becomes a treasure of the town
Speaking of the imperial symbol of our country, in addition to the dragon chair, the most well-known is the jade seal. From the time of Qin Shi Huang, emperors began to have their own unique jade seals, and only the emperor with supreme power could call the jade seals in his hands the seals. When Puyi, the last emperor of our country, left the Forbidden City, he did not forget to bring the jade seal, but unlike the symbol of power fantasized by others, the reason why Puyi took the jade seal out of the palace was not only to symbolize his imperial identity, but also to love the jade seal.
It is such a Sanliantian Huangshi jade seal, in the Qianlong years, a large piece of Tian Huangshi has been difficult to find, at that time Qianlong will let the craftsmen put three pieces of Xiaotian Huangshi, with a chain to connect once, to produce such a piece of Sanliantian Huangshi jade seal.
Puyi entered the palace at the age of three, when he was young and playful, and did not understand the meaning of the jade seal. But when he was forced to leave the Forbidden City, he had already turned eighteen years old and did not forget to take this jade seal with him. Due to the short time left for Puyi to leave the palace, Puyi did not dare to easily carry this jade seal with him at will, so he sewed it into his own intimate clothes so as not to attract the attention of others.
During the time when the puppet state of Manchukuo was monitored by the Japanese, Puyi still treasured this jade seal, which accompanied him through many days when he was used as a puppet, and also accompanied him to become a prisoner of the order.
In 1950, Puyi, who had been monitored by the Japanese, captured by the Soviet Red Army, and reformed by fushun war criminals, finally became a citizen with an official status. From then on, he was no longer an emperor, not a puppet, and even less a prisoner, at this time he was able to live his little life peacefully.
At that time, China was in the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and under the influence of Chang Xiangyu and others, Puyi still decided to donate this jade seal that he had treasured for many years to the country. The jade seal is a symbol of the identity of an emperor, naturally it is a noble object, so the State Administration of Cultural Heritage attaches great importance to it, after all, this jade seal belongs to China's "treasure of the town" to a certain extent.
What Puyi experienced in this life seems to be like a modern history of China. From the death of Empress Dowager Cixi to the fall of the Qing government and the fall of the Qing Dynasty, to the puppet state of Manchukuo, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and even the later founding of New China, Puyi not only witnessed this period of history, he was also an indispensable figure in this period of history.
Puyi was called emperor when he was three years old, which was not what he wanted, because everyone knew in their hearts that the Qing Dynasty at that time was already in ruins, and Puyi's sitting on the throne was not a gift to him, but to make him bear the crime of subjugation of the country. But Puyi and his family had no choice, and when he was young, he was still ignorant and ignorant, so he became the emperor in such a vacuum, and later abdicated in confusion, and was even expelled from the Forbidden City. Later, Puyi once lined up with the people to buy tickets to enter the Forbidden City and enter the "home" where he was playing wantonly, but Puyi knew in his heart that this place that witnessed his growth did not belong to him now.
