In recent years, Qing palace dramas have been very popular, making people mistakenly believe that The concubines of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty should be extremely beautiful, and they are proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In fact, it is not the same thing.

Why do you say so? We also need to start with the "selected show" in the Qing Dynasty. The talent show is the policy of selecting wives, concubines and palace maids for the emperor and his sons and nephews. The founder of the "Talent Show" is Aisin Gioro Fulin , which is Shunzhi Emperor. At first, the men of the royal family were mostly married to the daughters of Mongolian princes and nobles, such as Shunzhi's mother and aunt, both of them were daughters of Mongolian princes and nobles. However, in Shunzhi, her mother, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, married him to the daughter of Mongolian prince Wu Keshan, who was the niece of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's own niece and the cousin of Shunzhi. Shunzhi was very dissatisfied with this marriage and felt that his cousin was too tricky and willful, so he had the idea of abolishing the queen and re-selecting it. This started the so-called "selected show", and the scope of the talent show was limited to the daughters of Mongolian princes and nobles and Manchu officials, and it was clearly stipulated that the emperor's concubine was not allowed to be Han.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have appeared in Jiangnan, and the "selected show" is limited to Manchu and Mongolian . The daughters of Han people are not allowed to become queens and concubines, which directly lowers the appearance index of the emperors and concubines of the Qing Dynasty. All selected are the rich beauty of the north, and few are the delicate and gentle beauty of the southern women.

There is another important reason, that is, the aesthetic standards of Manchu are different from those of the Han people. At the same time, the Qing Dynasty talent shows value more background, family background and character. As for whether it is beautiful or not, it is not that important. If you marry too beautiful, you will be impeached by the ministers, saying that the prince Beile is lustful, so there is no chance to marry a beautiful woman.

As for the concubines in the Qing palace drama, they are very beautiful and talented, this is not in line with historical facts and is completely the director's imagination!
