On December 11, 1915, the Senate of the Republic of China passed the 1993 "unanimous vote" to promote Dai Yuan Shikai as the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. In order to realize his dream of emperor, Yuan Shikai instructed his men to create momentum for the restoration of the emperor. He instructed Yang Du to organize organizations such as the Chou'an Association, advocating that democracy is not suitable for China's national conditions and should be changed to a constitutional monarchy to save China from its peril. They organized various so-called "citizen petition groups" to submit petitions under the guise of public opinion or took to the streets to demand changes in the state system. There were even "beggars petition groups" and "prostitutes petition groups" kneeling down to persuade Yuan Shikai to submit to the public opinion. Positive position. Although Yuan Shikai concocted various "public opinions" and procedures to fulfill his dream of becoming an emperor, after the Revolution of 1911, the seeds of democracy and freedom have begun to take root and sprout in the land of China. end.
There is a widely circulated wrong photo about Yuan Shikai proclaiming the emperor, which deceived many people.
is the following picture:
For a long time, major museums, famous historical books, classics, and textbooks have regarded this picture as an image of Yuan Shikai’s sacrifice to heaven and emperor. In fact, the person wearing the robe in the picture is not Yuan Shikai. Because the sacrificial gown Yuan Shikai wore was not like this at all. The costume of the standing person in the middle of this picture is the costume of Minister "Hong Xian".
The picture above shows Zhu Qiqian, who was the head of the preparatory office of Yuan Shikaideng Great Classics. note! There is no coat of arms on the chest of his sacrificial clothing.
The picture above shows this is Liang Shiyi. note! There is no coat of arms on his chest.
This is Yuan Shikai when he sacrifices to heaven. note! Yuan Shikai's round neck sacrificial robe has twelve coats of arms on the front and back chest.
Above: Yuan Shikai is the one with heraldry on the chest of the sacrificial clothing in the middle, which is different from the surrounding people.
So this picture should be taken during rehearsal. Yuan Shikai is not the one standing in the middle.
