Watch the drama to learn the history of the Qing court! real or fake?

I couldn't help but bought a cup of iced latte and ate it with egg yolk crisp and bean paste cake! The blood sugar must have been vibrating and popping all morning! I've been so busy these days that I don't have time to read, but I still have two books to recommend. One is called " If the Forbidden City Could Talk ". The author of this book is Yang Yuan, a postdoctoral fellow of Manchu, specializing in the history of Manchu court and society.

When I read this book, my mind was filled with the voice of " Aunt Leng " that I was chasing at station B talking about Qing palace dramas in my ear. Although he is a postdoctoral fellow, his writing is really down-to-earth! Of course, this is also related to the fact that since Aunt Qiong Yao's "Han Zhu Gege", the films and TV dramas based on the Qing Dynasty court have been continuously consumed by film and television. There was even a period of time when the influence of the Eryuehe historical drama, which was still very popular, made the Qing Palace deeply impressed in people's minds, so when we talked about the Qing Dynasty, everyone seemed to be like something that happened not long ago.

However, the film and television dramas that really make people interested in the Manchu court and its social and political system may have to rekindle the flames from "The Legend of Zhen Huan", followed by a bunch of albums such as "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "Yanxi Palace". , All the previous politics of Eryuehe were moved to the concubines version of Du Lala's promotion in the harem. Also because of the popularity of Qing palace dramas, and because of excessive consumption, it finally gained the infamy of "distorting history". But from my point of view, who would watch the history of drama? But it is undeniable that the series can arouse most people's interest in a certain period of history. As an aside, the most powerful person to distort Chinese history is Jin Yong.

Going back to "If the Forbidden City Could Talk", Yang Yuan's brushstrokes are logical and rigorous, and his prose can also be lively and comfortable. This is a big bag of benefits for those who want to understand the many gossips in the Qing harem! From this book, you can prove through well-documented historical evidence, which of those emperors is more playful and which is more for the sake of women.

Choosing the Queen is not the market to buy vegetables

For example, my favorite "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", in the literature, Qianlong Boy is not particularly fond of his successor. According to Yang Yuan, the reason why this "Nala family" will become the successor is a big factor. It's her family background. Because all the concubines who were in the positions of concubines and noble concubines at the time, although there were banner people, they were either low-born or Han women. The choice was made, and it was this "Nala family" from a middle family background who was the most suitable for Qianlong Boy and him. Mother's (that is, Zhen Huan's) thoughts.

As for the matter of breaking his hair, it has nothing to do with whether Qianlong Boy is messing around with flowers or not. Since there was an emperor, who doesn't think that all men and women in the world belong to them? Every year, there are many people who send Han women from Jiangnan to the palace. This kind of well-known thing will not be taken seriously in the future.

If according to Qianlong's account, the next one was crazy, then according to the data found by Yang Yuan, the possibility of Nara's subsequent madness and hair loss may be related to depression in the deep palace, menopause, and hatred and disgust for Qianlong. . After all, before this successor became the empress, she was a "Concubine Xian". The emperors of the Qing Dynasty gave names to concubines based on their character and temperament. Judging from the word "Xian", it is not difficult to guess this Nala family. For Qianlong, what kind of character does she have.
