How did the Qing emperor spend New Year's Eve?
Under normal circumstances, most emperors in the Qing Dynasty liked cold and were afraid of heat. They spend most of the year in gardens such as "Changchun Garden" and "Yuanmingyuan". Only during the Spring Festival every year do they drive back to the palace for the Spring Festival. Emperors usually "seal the pen" and "seal" on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, that is, they stop working at the ceremony on the first day of the first lunar month and re-open the pen seal. On New Year's Eve morning, the old emperor, queen and concubines have breakfast. Generally eat yellow rice, rice cakes, rice cakes, and so on. There are many kinds, dozens of them. Lunch on New Year's Eve usually starts at four o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner is the most important meal. The dinner was held in Baohe Hall or Gan Qing Palace, and the emperor had a table for one. The table is the "Golden Dragon Banquet Table", and the table is surrounded by gold embroidered tables. Needless to say, pork, fat duck, vegetable duck, fat chicken, vegetable chicken, pork elbow and other delicious foods. When everything is ready, take your positions. At this time, the eunuch first made soup for the emperor, and then sent soup to the queen and concubines. The order is wrong, and the weight is completely different.
