The Peabody Essex Museum, although the name is Chinese, is not a domestic museum, it is an American museum near Boston in the United States. I went to the Dimei Museum to see the original Huipai mansion Yin Yu Tang, but I did not expect to see an exhibition about the cultural relics of the Qing Empress" "Phoenix Dance: The Art and Life of the Empress of the Qing Dynasty". The special exhibition about the masters of the Qing Palace women is rare in China, and it is natural to take a good look at it when it is encountered in Dimei.
The Empress was the most honorable woman in the Empire during the Age of Empires. Clothing, clothing, eating and wearing, etc. have corresponding regulations. In the Qing Dynasty, as an ethnic minority regime, the dress and clothing of the harem women was unique. The Empress of the Qing Dynasty who left the photo was only Wanrong (in fact, she was no longer an empress), and judging from the photos of her imperial dress, the Imperial Dress of the Great Qing Empress was very heroic.
In DiMei's "Phoenix Dance Forbidden" exhibition, since it is about the queen, the queen's court dress, crown and daily wear are indispensable. If nothing else, cloth and embroidery are so good!
