In May 2006, a Qing Dynasty male dry corpse was excavated in The Shijingshan District of Beijing, the tomb named "Huang Humble Wu of the Imperial Qing Dynasty", although it can be clearly a Dry Corpse of the Qing Dynasty, but this dry corpse named Huang Humble Wu is very strange.
Because this Huang Humble Wu did not leave a braid in accordance with the Qing Dynasty's unique shaving and braiding system, but the traditional Han hair bun style, what is more difficult to understand is the imperial dress worn by this dry corpse, he is covered with a set of Qilin complements, the Zhongxian doctor is a four-pin civilian official, according to the supplementary clothes should be embroidered four-pin civilian officials Yunyan supplements, Qilin supplements are zhengyi pin military attaché supplements, in the hierarchical feudal society This is not allowed to appear, and more puzzling is that the Qilin imperial clothes also put on a five-clawed dragon robe inside the Qilin imperial clothes. This is a typical imperial dress with a top and a bottom, and there is another five-clawed dragon robe buried in the coffin, and a four-pin civilian official wearing a military attaché court dress is also buried with a dragon robe dress, so this is the most strange place that makes people feel that this dry corpse is weird.
Later, according to archaeologists searching through ancient books, they could not find any information about this Huang Humble Wu, and there was no record of him in the local records.
In the Qing Dynasty, the official position of Zhongxian Dafu was a fictitious position, but he only enjoyed the treatment of a Zhengsipin official, was not responsible for specific affairs, and belonged to an honorary official position, so it was unlikely that such an idle official position would be recorded in history, so it was normal that no record of him could be found in the historical data.
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, those who wore dragon robes were said to be arrogant to the small, and to the large, it was an attempt to rebel, and there were still Han Chinese hair buns wearing Manchu qing costumes, which made this dry corpse more unusual and strange.
It should be known that in the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the Taoist monks and other religious figures, everyone else needs to abide by the shaving system, but this dry corpse named Huang Huowu was buried with a Han hairstyle, but later according to research, although this dry corpse was buried with a Han hairstyle, but there was no trace of hair on the top of the dry corpse's head, so it is inferred that he followed the Manchu shaving system before he died, and he was buried with a Han hairstyle after death, so these made the identity of this dry corpse appear confusing, and there were many rumors about his identity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > Shunzhi or Dolgun and the drama</h1>
The most popular saying on the Internet and in the folk is that this dry corpse named Huang Humble Wu is likely to be Shunzhi, after all, the folk have been rumored that Shunzhi did not die but avoided the position of renunciation, and they all believe that this dry corpse can wear dragon robes, which is likely to be Shunzhi who later became a monk.
However, according to the Qing Shilu, after Shunzhi's death, he followed the old Manchurian system of cremation and was buried in the Xiaoling Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, which means that Shunzhi could not leave a corpse at all, but left an urn. And although Shunzhi once believed in Taoism and Catholicism, he finally believed in Buddhism, and he could not be buried with a Han hairstyle, so Shunzhi could basically be excluded.
Some people think that this dry corpse is actually Huang Huowu, a pseudonym of Dolgun, but there are also clear records in history that Dolgun was buried near Dongzhimen after his death, known locally as the Tomb of the Nine Kings, and after Dolgun's death, he was politically liquidated by Shunzhi, and the coffin was opened to kill the corpse, which also belonged to the bones of the corpse, how could it be this dry corpse.
And the most crucial thing is that the shaving system is the policy proposed by the regent of Dolgun during the Shunzhi period, Shunzhi and Dolgun are in favor of the shaving system, although the two of them are very suitable for burial in the dragon robe, but they can never be buried with Han hairstyles, so it is not reliable to think that the dry corpse is Shunzhi or Dolgun.
However, another saying circulated by the folk is more reliable than the sayings of Shunzhi and Dorgon, that is, many people think that this Huang Humble Wu is not a prince or nobleman at all, it may be a drama, and the dragon robe is a costume.
In fact, at the beginning, archaeologists also thought so, will this person be a drama. Because the props and dragon robes in the opera are relatively shoddy imitations, they are very different from the real dragon robe workmanship and are very recognizable. When carefully analyzed and compared, archaeologists found that the dragon robe on Huang Humblewu's body was exquisitely made, which was a real royal product, and the imitation costume workmanship was worlds different from it. So this also directly negates the claim that this dry corpse is a drama.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > is it Yin Yu, the eighth son of Kangxi? </h1>
In addition to shunzhi, dorgon, and drama, some people think that this Huang Humble will not be the eighth son of Kangxi and the half-brother of Yongzheng, Prince Yin of Lian.
Because according to the judgment of archaeologists, this Huang Huowu probably lived in the Kangxi period, and Yin Yu happened to be a person living in the Kangxi period, and was persecuted to death in the early Yongzheng period.
Yin Yu was the eighth son of Kangxi, and was given the title of Belle during the Kangxi period, and after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he was made the Prince of Lian, and his identity could fully possess the dragon robe.
And the most crucial thing is that this dry corpse is named Huang Humble Wu, which reads quite the meaning of "the emperor deposed me", that is, the emperor deposed me. Yin Yu participated in the "Nine Sons and Concubines" of Kangxi in his later years, and competed with Yongzheng for the throne, and after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, because he was deeply popular with the people, he refused to submit to Yongzheng.
Therefore, in the fourth year of Yongzheng (1726), Yongzheng stripped Yin Yu of his title, stripped him of his clan membership, changed his nickname to "Akina", and imprisoned him in the Zongren Mansion, where Yin Yu was tortured and died shortly after being imprisoned.
Yin Yu's life deeds are very much in line with the emperor's intention to depose me, and because Yin Yu was stripped of his clan and lost his real name, his family changed his name to Huang Huowu when he buried him, and buried him with a dragon robe to fulfill his wish to become emperor during his lifetime.
And Yin Yu respected Confucianism, befriended Jiangnan Shizi before his death, was quite popular with scholars, and had a certain influence among the Han people, so he could be buried with a Han hairstyle when he died.
These explanations seem to be more reasonable, so is Huang Huowu really Yongzheng's political enemy brother Yin Yu? In fact, it is unlikely to be Yin Yu.
According to historical records, after Yin Yu was tortured to death, his only son, Hongwang, collected his body for him and buried him in the cemetery of the deposed clan in Rehe. Later, Qianlong rehabilitated people on a large scale, and Yin Yu was also rehabilitated, and Qianlong deliberately ordered that Yin Yu's notoriety of "Akina" be abolished and he was relocated back to the capital.
After that, Qianlong moved Yin Yu to be buried in Haidian on the outskirts of Beijing, and also sent a tomb watchman to guard Yin Yu's mausoleum, and later saw that the tomb household formed a village and it was called the Eight Dukes Village.
And after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1959, archaeologists have inspected the tomb of Yin Yu, after archaeological investigation found that Yin Yu was a criminal before his death, so there are very few funerary products in the tomb, its tomb does not have archaeological value, not only archaeologists are unwilling to archaeologically excavate Yin Yu tomb, for more than two hundred years, Yin Yu tomb even tomb robbers have hardly been recruited, you can imagine how sloppy Yin Yu died that year.
Therefore, judging from these materials, Yin Yu is unlikely to be Huang Humble Wu.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" > or Kangxi's deposed prince Yinrong? </h1>
In addition to believing that it was Yin Yu, there were also people who believed that Huang Huowu was probably the deposed prince of Kangxi. Yin Rong was the concubine of Kangxi, and was made crown prince since childhood, and was also the last public prince in Chinese history.
However, Yin Rong did not become a talent, and he was finally deposed by his father Kangxi twice as a crown prince for various reasons, and was finally imprisoned by Kangxi in the Xian'an Palace, and Yin Rong's two deposes also caused Kangxi to "take the concubine of the nine sons" in his later years.
Yin Rong, as the crown prince deposed by the emperor, was in line with Huang Humble's harmonic pronunciation, and Yin Rong was once a prince and received a dragon robe from the Kangxi Emperor, which was also in line with the characteristics of the dry corpse of the dragon robe.
But in fact, the claim that Yin Rong was Huang Huowu also does not stand up, according to the "Qing History Manuscript" record that Yin Rong eventually died in the second year of Yongzheng (1724), after his death Yongzheng replaced his father Kangxi to forgive Yin Rong, and posthumously as the Prince of Limi, buried in the mausoleum of Prince Li of Huanghuashan, Jixian County, Tianjin, and the location of Yin Rong's mausoleum belonged to the Qing Eastern Mausoleum Area and belonged to the royal mausoleum.
Moreover, Yin Rong could not leave a Han chinese hairstyle for burial, he did not believe in Taoism, nor could he oppose the Qing, although he was a wasted prince, the treatment was more moist than ordinary people, so this Huang Humble Wu could not be Yin Rong.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" is > is it the third prince of Zhu? </h1>
There are also theories that this Huang Humble Wu is not the pseudonym of Zhu San, the chongzhen of the late Ming Dynasty, and that Prince Zhu San did not dare to be buried under his real name, so he assumed the pseudonym Huang Hun Wu.
Moreover, the name of Huang Humble Can be understood as I (I) Humble (Deposed) Huang (Emperor), which means that I am the deposed emperor.
Zhu Cijiong, the third prince of Zhu, can be described as the imperial nightmare of the Kang Yongqian period of the Qing Dynasty, and his appeal is extremely great, and many local uprisings during the Kang Yongqian period have played the name of the third prince of Zhu, of course, they are actually fake. However, Zhu Cijiong, the third prince of Zhu, did make three generations of Qing emperors uneasy.
In fact, the people have always made the characters wrong, the real Third Prince of Zhu should actually be the fourth son of Chongzhen, Zhu Cijiong, in fact, Zhu Cijiong was not alive in the late Ming Dynasty, it is really difficult to say, But Zhu Cijiong lived a lot of age.
According to records, Chongzhen's fourth son, Zhu Cizhao, the Yong King, was fortunate enough to go into exile after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and was rescued by a widow surnamed Wang of the Ming Dynasty, who was afraid that Zhu Cizhao would be killed by the Manchu Qing, so he recognized him as his adopted son and renamed him Wang Shiyuan, which means the original meaning of the king.
After that, Zhu Cizhao lived a reclusive life under the pseudonym Wang Shiyuan until the forty-seventh year of Kangxi (1708), when Wang Shiyuan's identity was revealed and he was taken to the capital by the military to see Kangxi, but Kangxi deliberately did not recognize Wang Shiyuan as the son of Chongzhen and beheaded him for impersonating the Ming dynasty royal family. Zhu Cizhao was over seventy years old when he was killed.
However, this argument is also untenable, and it feels that the excavated dry corpse is found to be about 50 years old, and Zhu Cizhuo's family was 76 years old when they were killed, which is completely inconsistent with the age, and after Zhu Cizhao was killed, Kangxi did not need to give him a burial dragon robe.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="51" will > be the royal tailor? </h1>
Many of the claims about this dry corpse Huang Humble Wu are unreliable and difficult to justify themselves, the key is that the Manchu Dragon Robe and han hairstyle that Huang Humble Wu buried with him are difficult to figure out.
In fact, there is a bold hypothesis that this Huang Humble Wu will not be his real name, and Huang Humble Wu is likely to be a skilled royal Han tailor, he was awarded the title of Zheng Sipin Zhongxian Doctor because of his exquisite workmanship, and enjoyed the treatment of the Four Pin Officials.
Why is he a Han Chinese tailor? Because at that time, the Han people could restore the traditional han hairstyle for burial after death, which stemmed from the resistance and dissatisfaction of the Han people to the Manchu shaving system at that time, and the Manchu rulers finally compromised, and there were ten rules in the shaving system.
There is a rule that the Ten From Ten are called life from death, which means that the Han people must implement the Manchu shaving system before they die, but after death, no one cares, and if you want to restore the Han hairstyle and dress, it is casual. Therefore, Huang Humble wu was a Han Chinese, who observed the shaving system before his death, and was buried with the traditional Han hairstyle after his death.
Why do you say he's a tailor? Because the dragon robe in the coffin is very delicately made, it is obviously used by the royal family. In history, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty gave very few Hanchen dragon robes, a total of 17 Hanchen dragon robes, while only two people in the Kangxi period received this honor.
These two men were Sun Sike and Shi Shibiao, a famous general during the Kangxi period who helped Kangxi quell the Rebellion of San Francisco, and the official was the Viceroy of Gansu, after quelling the Rebellion of San Francisco, Sun Sike was given a dragon robe by Kangxi; Shi Shibiao was the son of Shi Lang, a famous general who recovered Taiwan, who had quelled the rebellion of Zhu Yigui in Taiwan, and later became an official like his father Shi Lang to the Admiral of Fujian.
These two people do not conform to Huang Humble Wu's deeds at all, so Huang Humble Wu's dragon robe is likely something he made privately to leave for himself, and this Huang Humble Wu is also an ambitious tailor, he made so many dragon robes, he also thought about the emperor's addiction, so he secretly hid the dragon robe after death.
As a Han Chinese, Huang Humble May not obey the shaving system in his heart, so when he was dying, he re-combed back the traditional Han hairstyle, and in order to hide his eyes and ears, he added a lifetime of military attaché to the dragon robe. As a tailor, he did not have too high a political status, so he did not have to worry about being accused of trespassing after his death.
Therefore, from another point of view, this dragon robe corpse Huang Humble Wu may not really be the pseudonym of a great figure in history, but it is likely to be an ambitious royal tailor.
Of course, no matter what kind of statement and analysis, it is speculation, as for who Huang Humble Wu is, there is no unified statement in the archaeological community at present, so dear readers, you can also use your imagination to imagine what kind of person this Huang Humble Wu is, welcome to leave a message to imagine!
