The "Xi Yi Hua Ting - Exhibition of Cultural Relics on the Life of Youth in the Qing Dynasty Palace" opened on the 25th at the Gongwang Mansion Museum in Beijing. This is the first time that the Gongwang Mansion Museum and the Palace Museum have collaborated to hold an exhibition, selecting more than 120 exquisite cultural relics to showcase the young lives of the princes and princesses, with most of them making their debut. The picture shows the exhibition site. The exhibition of the Gongwang Mansion Museum is divided into five units: in "Tianlun", there are children's clothing, shoes and hats, toys, accessories for grasping the week, and rare baby diapers in the Qing Dynasty palace; Among the "beautiful objects", there are crown racks, combs, dowries, jewelry, etc., which are extremely rich in materials and fully demonstrate the exquisite skills of skilled craftsmen; In the "praying for blessings", the numerous exhibits led by the rubbings of the Kangxi Imperial Book's Fuzi Stele are full of blessings, containing hopes for a better life. Entering the "Chongwen" era, the educational content of the combination of Chinese and Western cultures, Manchu and Han cultures, is eye-catching. Correspondingly, the "cultivation of martial arts" and the strategic strategies of bow, horse, horse, horse, horse, and archery, as well as military talismanship, can be seen in both individuals and objects, indicating the expectation of cultivating talents to achieve cultural and military achievements. In fact, Prince Gong's Mansion and the Forbidden City have a profound historical connection, from the ten princesses of Emperor Qianlong to Prince Qing Yonglin, Prince Gong Yixin, Prince Gu Lun, and Princess Xiao. These young people who once lived in the Qing Dynasty palace, after reaching adulthood, left their own traces of life in this exquisite mansion of Prince Gong's Mansion. The picture shows the yellow satin velvet tiger head patterned shoes on display. A pair of yellow satin velvet tiger head patterned shoes in the display cabinet of the Gongwang Mansion Museum is very cute. It is reported that during the inspection of the Qing Palace, it was found that these shoes were stored together with numerous shoes of different sizes in a wooden box at the Heart Nourishing Hall. At that time, the box "contained half a box of various shoes". Given that these shoes are in good condition and no obvious signs of wear have been found, it is speculated that they may be new shoes prepared for future royal children in the late Qing Dynasty, but have not yet been worn by anyone. The document "Princess Yi meets Big Brother Xi" records the living and eating conditions of the female Yi during the five to six years of Xianfeng, from pregnancy to childbirth. It covers the pulse, food, daily life and post natal conditioning of the female Yi during the happy period, welcoming the god of happiness in the palace, digging the happy pit, watching the happy night and the imperial doctor on duty, inviting Yichanshi and Dalang Steamed Knife, the eldest prince washing the third day, and the full moon seizing the week. In fact, both Yi concubines and Yi concubines were later famous Empress Dowager Cixi. The picture shows the exhibition site. Feng Nai'en, the director of the Gongwang Mansion Museum, stated that the Gongwang Mansion Museum and the Palace Museum signed a cooperation framework agreement in 2019. The museum has a deep relationship with the museum, which is closely related to history, humanities, and roots. At the "Xi Yi Hua Ting - Qing Dynasty Palace Youth Life Cultural Relics Exhibition," there were exhibitions of Wang Fu Tang style porcelain and the writings of Prince Gong Yixin, hoping to make the public feel the pursuit of refined life in the history and culture of the Wang Fu. Ren Wanping, Vice President of the Palace Museum, pointed out that this is the first exhibition cooperation between the Palace Museum and the Prince Gong Mansion Museum in recent years. The exhibition fully considers the historical connection between Prince Gong's Mansion and the Forbidden City, and relies on the existing research foundation of both sides to deeply explore the commonalities and correlations of the cultural relics in the collections of both sides. It shifts its focus from the past life of emperors and empresses in the palace to the lives of princes and daughters in the Forbidden City, focusing on the previously less focused life of palace youths.
