After Yuan Shikai died, he stayed in Huairentang for 2 1 day. On June 28th, it was transported by train to the home of Shangcun Village in Zhangdehuan, and then stopped to open the crane. He was buried in Taipingzhuang on August 23rd, and spent 78 days before and after.
After the news of Yuan Shikai's death came out, independent provinces hung flags to congratulate and protect the national army? The three armies rejoiced and the people rejoiced. "But, the Beijing government issued an order saying? All funeral ceremonies should be handled by the State Council, taking into account Chinese and foreign laws and regulations, and putting forward detailed plans, with the intention of respecting Germany as a vice country. ? The Beijing government allocated 500,000 yuan for funeral expenses, and Duan, Wang Shizhen, Duan and Zhang donated 250,000 yuan.
The national flag was ordered to fly at half mast, and folk entertainment activities were banned for one day. Wenwu Baiguan mourned for 27 days; It is also necessary to organize people to take turns to pay tribute to the gods every day during the stop. The troops stationed in Beijing raised their guns at the gate of Xinhua during the day. At the funeral, President Li went to xinhua gate to see him off. Premier Duan of Beiyang government led hundreds of officials to the station on foot and sent him to the station. When the hearse started from the station, the salute sounded 10 1.
Yuan Shikai's funeral, in the family, was presided over by his eldest son Yuan. Yuan is keen on Emperor Zhi. Did he vote privately? Big prince seal? . When Yuan Shikai was seriously ill, he read official documents instead of him. Now he has inherited his father's ambition, made the funeral extremely grand and luxurious, imitated the notes of the Qing emperor everywhere, and decorated Yuan Shikai as? Great line? Same.
When Yuan Shikai's body was buried, did he dare to wear the original compilation? Imperial code? When I used it, I spent 800,000 yuan on two robes, but I didn't want to wear the presidential costume. So I brought the winter solstice of 19 14 12.23, imitating a costume worn by the emperor when he sacrificed to heaven in the Temple of Heaven. I wore a flat crown, twelve chapters, a purple satin skirt, a pleated skirt and thousands of water patterns embroidered around it. This neither-donkey nor-horse dressing is just in line with his status as both president and emperor, while he was president and emperor, but he never really became emperor.
Yuan Shikai's funeral deacon was in charge of Wynn Restaurant, which had undertaken the funeral of the Qing Emperor. Use the Imperial Bar, with 32 porters. The bottom of the coffin is embroidered with dragons, clouds and water. At the funeral, 32 porters carried the coffin outside xinhua gate, and 80 porters were replaced.
Yuan Shikai's funeral route is: from Huairentang South to xinhua gate, through Tiananmen Square, out of Zhengyangmen, to Han Jing Road Station (Qianmen Station). There are military police, loess roads and clean streets along the way. The police and security team cleared the funeral procession. Then there is a regiment of the Army honor guard and a company of the Navy honor guard. There are seventy or eighty military bands and eighty China bands in the Presidential Palace, playing funeral music.
Another kind is voiceless, playing drums such as Sheng, Feng, Di, Xiao and Jiu Yin Gong. Monks, Taoist priests and lamas in five tents, wearing bright vestments and robes, holding banners, temples and playing musical instruments. It's different to throw paper money. Several cars carrying yellow banknotes were scattered on the street. There are five pairs of gongs to direct the funeral procession. The inscription made of red silk is very high and is carried by 22 porters.
Other people who played incense banners, umbrellas, fans and embroidered flags in various colors were carrying incense pavilions, colorful pavilions and funerary objects such as Jinshan, Yinshan, deer, cranes and handmaiden, holding golden melons, grape-shot, axes, pedaling days, various wooden gold-painted guns and knives, tiger-headed cards, and hundreds of people were all dressed in various clothes. There are two or three hundred people with wreaths, elegiac couplets and snow willows, all wearing the same white mourning clothes. With 48 children, I took Yuan Shikai's antique jade and put it on a square plate. They're still holding on? Help cry? That is, the mission of helping the dutiful son cry to improve the sad atmosphere.
What is particularly eye-catching in the team is: a big car, put it inside? The emperor? Various utensils used. Deacons ride horses with spears in their hands and bows and arrows on their backs. 12 Huang Ying, excellent dog, camel, yurt, dressed in red. These are all ostentation and extravagance when the Qing emperor went out. There is also a shadow pavilion with a big photo of Yuan Shikai.
I took a ghost car once, which provided Yuan Shikai's ghost card and was escorted by guards of 100 Yuan. Under the umbrella of yellow embroidered satin seat, Yuan Shikai's mount was led by guards, and the porter carried a tiger chair. Before and after the Soul Car, there is also a gold lacquer plate specially made by Yuan Shikai for Deng Ji, which is inlaid with jewels and the throne of the Kowloon Emperor. It cost 240 thousand to engrave the national seal? The national seal of the Chinese empire? What about Yu 'ebao? Emperor's treasure? They were all picked up by porters in silk clothes and rhubarb hats in Phnom Penh. Yuan Shikai probably wants to sit on the throne of the emperor in the underworld and issue imperial edicts!
The guests attending the funeral included diplomatic envoys, civil and military officials, representatives of the Qing Dynasty, attendants of guards before their death, students and relatives.
Yuan wore a hemp crown and carried the coffin in his left hand, supported by two attendants, and led his 16 younger brothers to walk in front of the coffin. There are 48 gunmen standing guard behind the coffin. Then Yuan Shikai's first wife, Yu, eight concubines, 13 daughters, several daughters-in-law and other wives, all took maids and maids in sedan chairs or carriages.
I wrapped my head in linen, dressed in fine linen, and held a sapphire bottle with several sacrifices for the dead to enjoy in the underworld. According to folk custom, treasures, bottles and jars should be held by the eldest daughter-in-law; Let the first wife hug, which is in line with the rules of the Qing court.
When the funeral procession arrived at Qianmen Station, the big bar was still at the entrance of Xinhua. On this day, Han Jing Railway Bureau opened three special cars for Yuan Shikai. One of them is a newly renovated hearse, which was used to transport Yuan and his family when he died. A list of ceremonial soldiers, deacons, craftsmen, chivalrous men and guards. Government officials are sitting in the third train.
At the funeral, in addition to Duan's grand road sacrifice at Qianmen Station, local officials even paid tribute at the station when the train passed Baoding and Handan.
After the coffin was transported to the coffin, it stopped at home, recited the scriptures again and opened. Mourners poured in. There are dozens or even hundreds of funerals every day.
On August 22nd, Yuan Zhai held it? Point the Lord? Ceremony. Does the owner put the wooden owner on the tablet in advance? Lord? Words, write less, write what? Wang? This word, as the key point, was written by the title officer with a brush? Wang? Add a little to this word. Yuan's wooden owner used golden nanmu, carved with dragon patterns and rhinoceros, two or three feet high. Yuan invited Xu Shichang as the title officer. When people were sent to greet Xu Shichang, the official title cards of Xu Shichang in Yuan Shikai's time were not used in the ceremony, but various official titles of Xu Zeng in Qing Dynasty were used. This is because Yuan Shikai is the emperor and president, so he adopted a flexible approach.
At the funeral on the morning of 23rd, all kinds of ceremonies brought from Beijing were still used, and 80 people rushed to send the coffin to the cemetery.
1909, when Yuan Shikai was dismissed from office and lived in Huanshang Village, he asked Kan and his family to buy 200 mu of land in Taipingzhuang Circle, north of the homestead, as a graveyard for planting pines and cypresses, which was already lush. Yuan Shikai's coffin was buried here. The cemetery is laid out according to the format of the imperial mausoleum, and Tian Wenlie, the envoy of Henan Province, is responsible for the construction. The mausoleum is from south to north, with the front gate, an archway and a plaque.
Yuan's main topic? Yuan Ling? Two words, Xu Shichang afraid of causing public outrage, changed the title? Where's Yuan? . The 20-to 30-foot-wide white stone tunnel in the door is surrounded by watchtowers, stone horses, Shi Hu, stone lions and civilian military commanders, with *** 12 pairs in the east-west direction. A tablet pavilion, inscribed by Xu Shichang? The tomb of President Yuan Gong Shikai? . There are three rooms worth of things. After that, there was another door, behind which there were five things and a bronze cauldron. Followed by seven halls, signed? Jingrentang? The memorial tablet is enshrined in the center of the hall, and Yuan's clothes and swords are displayed on both sides. All the buildings are covered with green glazed tiles. Then there is the tomb platform, with stone altar and incense burner.
Finally, there is a circular treasure top, one foot and two feet high, with reinforced concrete poured below, round bluestone built on it, turf sealed on it, and a tunnel leading to the grave. There are two large stone gates with dragon patterns in the tomb, with a stone room in the middle. There are white marble beds and stone tables in the three halls, and dragon patterns are carved. On the stone table stood Yuan's favorite antiques and two golden lamps. The whole project was not completed until June 19 18.
After the big pole was carried to the cemetery, the coffin was carried into the stone room under the tomb with a soft pole of 24 people. At night, it was placed on the stone bed at the selected time. ? After the relatives and friends saluted, everyone withdrew and closed the Shimen. Burn the funerary wares, and the funeral will be over.
Yuan Shikai's funeral was extremely extravagant. However, the luxurious funeral ceremony and the magnificent base building left more jokes for future generations!
