As we all know, Jade Dragon, the empress of Guangxu Emperor, is an ugly older woman with no national dignity. Emperor Guangxu married her because Queen Yulong was the niece of the overbearing Empress Dowager Cixi. Obviously, Emperor Guangxu didn't like the queen, and Guangxu didn't ask about the wedding preparations of the imperial court. Before the Jade Dragon Queen married into the Forbidden City, her marriage tragedy had already begun.
At the wedding of the Qing emperor, the queen had to go through the Taihe Gate in a sedan chair. It happened one month before the Jade Dragon Queen passed by, and the Taihe Gate caught fire. The fire was fierce and many eunuchs were injured, but Taihemen, which was built in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, was still not rescued. Seeing that the emperor is getting married, it's unlucky to burn the Taihe Gate. It's just unlucky for the Jade Dragon Queen who hasn't entered the door yet.
The Taihe Gate we see now was rebuilt in the second year after the fire in Guangxu period. However, it was impossible to rebuild Taihe Gate in just one month after the fire, and it was imminent to marry the queen, so the Forbidden City urgently recruited a group of paperhangers. At that time, it was the freezing December, and the paperpasting workers used paper paste and colored silk day and night to make the painted shed and door fake. Therefore, the Taihe Gate in Emperor Guangxu's Wedding Picture is actually a substitute for colored paper paste. Due to the realistic craftsmanship, this technology has also become an intangible cultural heritage.
There is a fire before marriage, and the wedding takes the paper door of Taihe. The Jade Dragon Queen of undertaker in the Great Qing Dynasty met with very unlucky signs at the beginning of her marriage. After marriage, the Jade Dragon Queen was not loved by the emperor, and Guangxu loved this beautiful princess. Even her aunt Empress Dowager Cixi showed great impatience with the dull and boring Jade Dragon Queen. Even courtiers and even maids think that the Jade Dragon Queen is soft and crying, and she is a boring person. Queen Yulong's life is very depressed. Later, as the Empress Dowager, seeing the demise of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi, 6, abdicated, which made her feel very sad.
After her death, the Jade Dragon Queen was buried in the Western Mausoleum of Qing Dynasty, sharing a cave with Emperor Guangxu, who never looked at her directly. However, there was no peace after her death. Grave robbers visited the mausoleum of Emperor Guangxu, and the funerary objects of Queen Yulong were looted and the remains turned into mud. The tragedy of taking the paper tai and the door of the Forbidden City as a wedge has not come to an end until now.
