Visitors who have been to the Forbidden City and Guo Bo may have seen two Ming Dynasty rock-jumping penguins hiding in the Treasure Hall of the Forbidden City and the exhibition hall on the first floor of Guobo respectively. The details of the rockhopper "gold, bamboo silk, pearls, rubies and kingfisher feathers" are the labels of the two rockhoppers. When admiring its exquisiteness, you may not have thought that "if you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight" is a universal conclusion regardless of national boundaries and times! Facing an emperor's husband who ignores and ignores himself? Facing a tough enough mother-in-law? Facing an imperial concubine who can have children, please the emperor and want to replace the queen? It's really not easy to wear this rockhopper! The owner of this crested rockhopper was chosen as the queen when she was 13 years old. She has been obedient and forbearing for 42 years, becoming the queen who has been sitting in the back seat for the longest time in China for 5,000 years, and the only queen who was inscribed by the emperor's husband in 48 years. She is the original of Wanli, the filial piety queen of Ming Shenzong. 1On the afternoon of October 20th, the last stone gate of the Ming Dingling underground palace in Beijing was opened. Archaeologists found three coffins quietly placed in the underground palace, belonging to Emperor Wanli, Queen Xiao Duan and Empress Xiaojing, the grandson of Emperor Wanli. Empress Xiaojing was later named Empress Xiaojing. Among them, the coffins of Wanli and Xiao Duan are well preserved, while the coffins of Xiaojing are decayed because they have been moved and buried. After cleaning, 2,648 exquisite cultural relics, including textiles, clothes, gold, silver, bronze, tin, porcelain, glass, jade, stone tools, lacquerware, wood, jewels, precious stones, pearls, crowns, belts, ornaments, coins, weapons, etc., were unearthed in 29 buried storage boxes in the underground palace. In particular, silk weaving technology and metal manufacturing technology can be described as the pinnacle and unparalleled. Each of the four storage boxes has a hexagonal box with 65,438+0 vertices. When unearthed, the lacquer box was rotten and the crests were scattered. Archaeologists recovered 3 dragons and 2 phoenixes, 12 dragons and 9 phoenixes, 6 dragons and 3 phoenixes 1 crown. Nine phoenix in Kowloon are hidden in Guo Bo, and one phoenix in Kowloon belongs to Empress Xiao, and then enters the National Museum of China. According to the Ming History, Wu Hongding spent three years: "(Empress) entered the book, paid homage, attended the meeting, and dressed in formal attire. Its crown is round and gorgeous, decorated with jade, with four phoenixes in Kowloon, twelve big-flowered trees and so many small flowers. Two halls and twelve cymbals. Three-year customization of Yongle: its crown is decorated with Cuilong Nine and Jinfeng Four, with a dragon crown and a big pearl in the middle, a green cover and hanging pearls, and the rest are 40 crowns and pearls, and the number of big pearls and small pearls is the same as before. Sanbo Hall, decorated with golden dragon and Cui Yun, is full of beads. A pair of cuikou rings decorated with twelve precious stones and flowers are too numerous to mention. Torijin went around. Five things about fans. A pair of beads are arranged in a ring. "Unearthed objects are inconsistent with the customized ones. It can be seen that the crown service system of Wanli has changed. Empress Xiao's crests are made of lacquer bamboo, and the fabric is made of silk. The front part is decorated with nine golden dragons, with beads dripping from the mouth. There are eight Diancui golden phoenix under it, and there is also a golden phoenix in the back part, with nine phoenix in Kowloon. Golden phoenix, the phoenix is upside down, and the beads are dripping. When walking, the beads can shake with the footsteps like walking. There are three rows of rubies and sapphires under Cuifeng, dotted with emerald flowers and leaves. At the bottom of the canopy, there is a circle embedded with emerald beads. On the left and right sides of the lower part of the back, golden dragon balls are embedded in three halls. On the Expo Hall, there are hollowed-out golden dragons and pearl flowers, which look like golden dragons galloping above Cui Yun. Cuifeng flies on jewelry, resplendent and magnificent. This crown * * * is made of 100 raw natural rubies and more than 5000 pearls. It has a solemn shape and is beautifully made. The techniques used are filigree, touch, mosaic and threading. Filaments are made of gold, drawn into filaments, stacked, braided and woven, and welded and woven into a dragon shape. Diancui is to make the gold and silver pieces into a base according to the flower shape, then weld a groove along the edge of the flower shape with gold wire, coat glue in the middle, and then embed the feathers plucked by kingfisher in the seat to form an auspicious and exquisite pattern. The pattern is inlaid with pearls, emeralds and other jewels and jade. Kingfisher's bright feathers, together with Phnom Penh, look magnificent and never fade. It is quite difficult for this crested rockhopper to order breastplates. The breastplates are not only large in area (including Cuifeng, Cui Yun, Cuiye and Cui Hua), but also complex in shape. Especially Cuifeng, all spread their wings, spread their tails and spread their feathers, full of spirit and movement. In the inlay, the gold foil is cut into strips to form a "support" similar to a gem. Two claws are welded on both sides of the bracket, which are used to hold the gem and glue it with wax if necessary. Piercing the heart means putting all the pearls on and tying them up according to a certain arrangement order or pattern. The owner of this rockhopper, Queen Xiao Duan, had no children before her death. From this, there was a dispute between the eldest son of the princess and the third son Zhu as the prince, which had a profound impact on the political situation in the late Ming Dynasty and made Wanli a turning point in the history of the Ming Dynasty from governance to chaos. For example, the life of a queen who is walking on thin ice is the same as that of most queens in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Xi's younger sister was born in an ordinary family, and her father, Wang Wei, was an assistant envoy of the Siwen Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry. In A.D. 1577, Libu, Zhao Xia, Li Taihou chose a queen for Zhu Yijun, Ming Shenzong. Young, simple and obedient are Li Taihou's selection criteria. Filial piety queen Li Taihou has a strong desire to control her son Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun. Under the vigorous measures of Li Taihou's supervised study (repetition and punishment), getting up at 5 o'clock (3-5 am) every day, making mistakes, writing "I offended myself" and threatening to be abolished, Zhu Yijun has properly cultivated a "mother man"! A girl who can live in harmony with the "tough" mother-in-law Empress Dowager and the husband of the "son of Ma Bao" emperor, Sister Wang Xi is indeed a clever daughter-in-law who is filial to her mother-in-law and obedient to her husband. The first duty of the young queen is to have children, but the details of Wang Xi's bedroom have been seen by the empress dowager! It's just that everyone knows! " "Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun, if you want to be a lucky queen, you must play the queen mother on the monkey; If you are lucky to the queen during the day, you must tell the queen mother at night; If the queen is lucky in his palace, there must be a written reply. " Don't think that the emperor will often be a lucky queen! In fact, Sister Wang Xi was so busy with her work that even the Empress Dowager said that the Empress Dowager had no time. Please take care of the other concubines! The reasons are: there are complicated reception ceremonies between emperors; God will pray for the queen until after work; The concubines of each palace salute in Kunning Palace, retreat when playing music, and come to the palace door when playing the fifth drum, so that the queen can have time to change clothes and wait for the emperor's husband. The queen is so busy and has so many etiquette, so Zongshen goes to the Palace of Kunning less and less! Sister Wang Xi got pregnant after three years of marriage and gave birth to the emperor's eldest daughter. Since then, she has miscarried many times and never gave birth again. Sister Wang Xi avoided its edge-the prolific and favored Zheng Guifei Zongshen, worried about her children's emaciation, has been immersed in the rain and dew, and awarded nine titles. The Queen's sister Wang Xi also welcomed her biggest rival, Zheng Guifei. The mourning of Shu is the starting point for Zheng Guifei to enter the palace. She is deeply loved by Zongshen. She dared to express herself (embracing the emperor openly and killing Zongshen with "touching her head"). She has strong fertility and gave birth to two sons and two daughters for Zongshen. In less than three years, she was promoted to princess, and then to noble lady. In 1586, Zhu was born in san huang, and sent a message to the imperial secretary to give Taicang silver152,000 yuan (152,000 yuan is equivalent to today's150,000 yuan). A few months later, Zheng Guifei became an imperial concubine, equivalent to a deputy queen, and was awarded the title of the sixth palace. What should Wang Xi do in the face of such a strong rival in love? "Ming History" records: "It is a favorite, and the latter is different. "Since 1596, Zheng Huanggui has been fighting for the heir to the throne. A few years later, Zongshen was sensitively accused by the minister for criticizing the Queen. After careful consideration, Zongshen first criticized the minister for not knowing the rules and talking nonsense; He also praised the queen's virtue, and finally married the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, and made him a prince. 1620, Wang Xi's sister died peacefully, and posthumous title expressed his filial piety to the queen. 3 dragons and 2 phoenix heads, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails, phoenix tails According to Yao Minghui's records in the third year of Yongle (1405), the definition of the queen rockhopper is ". There are forty pearls and Lv Yun, twelve big pearls and three small pearls. This rockhopper in the Palace Museum is 35.5 cm high, 20 cm in diameter and weighs 2.95 kg. It is made of lacquered fine bamboo silk, decorated with jade feathers like clouds, and surrounded by 65,438+08 plum blossoms made of pearls and precious stones. The front of the crown is decorated with a pair of symmetrical emerald phoenix. At the top of the crown, there are three golden dragons woven with gold wires at equal intervals, including two jewelry tassels on the left and right. The back of the crown is decorated with six "Bo Dian" made of pearls and precious stones, which are fan-shaped and separated from the left and right. The crown is surrounded by rubies.
