Di Mei Museum: How beautiful are the costumes of the Empress of the Qing Dynasty?

Di Mei Museum, Peabody Essex Museum, although named China, is not a domestic museum, but an American museum near Boston in the eastern United States. I went to Di Mei Museum to see the reverberation hall of the original Huizhou architecture rebuilt there, but I didn't expect to see an exhibition about the cultural relics of the Qing Empress: the art and life of the Qing Empress. Special exhibitions on women masters in Qing Dynasty are rare in China, so you should have a good look when you meet them in Di Mei.

The queen is the most outstanding woman in the imperial era. Clothes and clothes, food and clothes, etc. There are corresponding regulations. As a minority regime, the dress of harem women in Qing Dynasty has its own characteristics. The only person who left the photo was Wan Rong (in fact, she is no longer the queen). Judging from the photos of her royal clothes, the royal clothes of the Qing Empress are very heroic.

In Di Mei, since the exhibition "Phoenix Dance and Purple Forbidden" is about the Queen, the Queen's royal dress, crown and daily wear are essential. If nothing else, the fabric and embroidery are really good!

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Diancui Queen inlaid with pearls was crowned.

The east hall of the Treasure Hall also has a certain queen's crown, which is not exactly the same as this one. That should be the winter crown and this is the summer crown. The pattern of the gap between Fengtou golden phoenix and Oriental Pearl is the same.

The craftsmanship of Leisi Golden Phoenix is really good, and there are so many pearls inlaid!

Empresses should wear "formal attire", crown+robe+robe when attending the three sacred sacrifices of New Year's Day, Wanshou, Winter Solstice and the sacrifice ceremony of silkworm altar.

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, corals worshipped pearls.

The queen must wear three plates of beads, one plate of oriental beads on her chest, and the other two plates of coral beads across her chest, hanging obliquely from her left and right shoulders to her ribs.

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, red silk embroidery patterns were rich and colorful.

Caixun is a kind of colored ribbon worn by female nobles such as empresses in Qing Dynasty. Cai Kun's colors and decorations are different.

Collar is an ornament worn by empresses and noblewomen on the collar of robes, which looks like a collar. Collars are graded according to the number of oriental pearls decorated and the colors hung at both ends.
