In 1912, the Qing Dynasty died under the impact of the Xinhai Revolution.
In the past 200 years, the Qing Dynasty has successively built a large number of royal palaces. Whether it is the scale and style of the building, or the layout and decoration of these palaces, they are strictly in accordance with the etiquette. It can be said that at that time, in addition to the Forbidden City (Forbidden City), this large number of royal palaces were the most magnificent and hierarchical. The people who live in the royal palace are naturally princes and nobles. Ordinary people, let alone walk into the palace, even pass by the edge of the palace, will be reprimanded and inquired by the palace guards.
After more than 100 years, what happened to these royal palaces?
First, some royal palaces have become scenic spots.
For example, Prince Gong's mansion.
The most famous royal palace of the Qing Dynasty, of course, had to be Prince Gong's palace. Located in Qianhai West Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, the royal palace is the largest palace complex in the Qing Dynasty and the most completely preserved palace complex in China today, covering an area of more than 60,000 square meters, about the size of the National Aquatics Center known as the "Water Cube".
Prince Gong's mansion was originally the residence of the famous Qing dynasty minister He Yan. After Hezhen was taken over by the Jiaqing Emperor, the mansion became the palace of King Yongxuan of Qingjun and Prince Gong of Yixuan. He Yan was a figure in the Qing Dynasty who was inclined to the opposition, Wang Yongxuan of Qingjun was the seventeenth son of the Qianlong Emperor, and Prince Gong Yixun was a member of the late Qing Dynasty who held real power for more than 20 years. Because the generations of masters of Prince Gong's mansion were all prominent figures in the history of the Qing Dynasty, the historical geographer Hou Renzhi commented that it was "a Prince Gong's mansion, half of the history of the Qing Dynasty".
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, prince Gong's descendants, YiXuan, sat on the mountain and were impoverished, and successively sold Prince Gong's mansion to Xishiku Church and Beijing Fu Jen University for 80,000 silver dollars and 100,000 silver dollars. At present, Prince Gong's Mansion is a national key cultural relics protection unit, a national first-class museum, and a national 5A-level tourist attraction, open to tourists, and the ticket price is 40 yuan.
Another royal palace that became a scenic spot was the Prince of Alcohol Palace.
There are two palaces in the Prince of Alcohol. One is located in the East Lane of Taiping Lake in Beijing's Xicheng District, and the other is located in the north coast of Houhai in Beijing's Xicheng District.
The Prince of Alcohol's Mansion in the east of Taiping Lake was once the residence of The Ming Pearl of Wuyingdian University in the Kangxi Dynasty and the Prince of Cheng, Yongxuan, and was later rewarded by Empress Dowager Cixi to Prince Yizhen of Alcohol, and became the Prince of Alcohol' Palace. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, prince Shuo's mansion successively became the land of colleges and institutions, and is now located inside the Central Conservatory of Music.
The Prince of Alcohol's Palace along the northern edge of Houhai was a palace rebuilt in the northern edge of Houhai after Zai Xiang, the second son of Prince Yizhen of Alcohol, was favored by Empress Dowager Cixi and became the heir of the Tongzhi Emperor (the Guangxu Emperor). Today, the newly built Prince Alcohol Palace Garden is partially open to the public, or a national AAA-level tourist attraction, and the ticket price is 20 yuan.
Second, some royal palaces are occupied by relevant departments and units.
For example, Prince Su's mansion.
Prince Su's mansion is located at No. 2 Zhengyi Road on the east side of Zhengyi Road in today's Dongcheng District. Its first generation of owners was the eldest son of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Hauge of Su. Prince Su's mansion was built in strict accordance with the system of the Great Qing Huidian and was divided into East Road, West Road and Middle Road.
In 1860, during the Second Opium War, the Anglo-French army invaded the capital. The French made a request that Prince Su's mansion be the seat of the French embassy. Under the argument of Prince Gong Yixuan, the French built the French embassy in the Pure Gong Mansion, allowing the Su Palace to escape the disaster. However, when the Eight-Power Alliance invaded China in 1900, the Japanese army still occupied prince Su's mansion as its own and used it as a Japanese embassy.
For example, Prince Rui's mansion.
There are two mansions in Prince Rui: one is located on the south side of Donghuamen Avenue, the east side of Nanchizi Street, and the other is in ShiDa People Hutong (now Foreign Affairs Street). The former was built in the early Qing Dynasty, when Prince Dolgun of Rui entered Beijing, and built this royal palace on the south side of Donghuamen Avenue. The latter was built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, after the death of the Rui Prince Dolgun was posthumously seized by the Shunzhi Emperor, the royal palace was abolished, the Qianlong Emperor restored the prince of Dolgun during his reign, and built a new palace for his descendants in Shida people Hutong.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, prince Rui's mansion on the south side of Donghuamen Avenue was once used by the army or other institutions, and is now the location of Pudu Temple, a key national cultural relics protection unit; the Rui Prince's Mansion in Shida people's Hutong is today the location of Beijing No. 24 Middle School.
In addition, prince Zheng's mansion located in Damucang Hutong, Xicheng District, is today the seat of the State Education Commission, the Fuwang Mansion located at No. 18, Dongsibatiao, Dongcheng District, is today the office of the Institute of Natural Science History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units, and the No. 5 Courtyard on the west side of Zhengyi Road, Dongjiaomin Lane, Dongcheng District, is the Chun Prince's Mansion for a certain unit today.
