引言
More than a hundred years ago, China's last feudal dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, was pushed off the stage of history under the bloody battles of many revolutionary ancestors. The Qing imperial family with noble power and status had to face it. The reality that the scenery is no longer has become the common people.
As we all know, after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, some of the imperial children lived well at the beginning due to the accumulation of wealth from their ancestors. However, due to the extravagance and luxury, they gradually fell into disarray and became completely poor. . Of course, not all of the Manchu imperial families were dudes, and some of the imperial families lived their lives calmly when faced with the existing reality.
In the later period of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Jin Mansion was a non-negligible existence. Its first master was Yizhen, the seventh son of Emperor Daoguang. This palace once produced Emperor Zaiyun of Guangxu and Emperor Puyi of Xuantong successively. It is one of the twelve iron hat palaces of Qing Dynasty. After the death of Yizhen, the fifth son, Zaifeng Chengjue, was the second-generation prince of alcohol. Because the eldest son Puyi was established as emperor, Zaifeng was appointed as the regent of Jianguo, the actual ruler of the last three years of the Qing Dynasty. Zaifeng had four sons and seven daughters in his life, and Aixinjueluo Yunying was his third daughter. As the biological daughter of Zai Fengfu Jin’s Guarjia young orchid, Yunying is Puyi’s compatriot sister. She has been loved by Puyi since she was a child. Puyi once personally named her sister "Binghao", and everyone in the world called Yunying "Binghao". Three grids". Unfortunately, as the last princess, she was as deeply affected by the fall of the feudal dynasty like her elder brother Pu Yi.
In 1924, the troops under Feng Yuxiang's rule expelled the former Qing emperor Puyi and all the royal families from the Forbidden City. Puyi had no choice but to seek refuge in Tianjin's mansion. Yunying, who was only 11 years old at the time, also followed her brother to Tianjin, where she and her brothers learned foreign languages, played badminton, and finally had a more relaxed and happy life. Unfortunately, Pu Yi fled to the northeast with the help of Japanese forces and established the puppet regime of the puppet Manchukuo in Changchun. At the age of 19, under the designation of her elder brother Pu Yi, Yunying and the second son of former Qing minister Rongyuan, Queen Wanrong's younger brother Runqi held a wedding. Soon after their marriage, Yunying and his wife went to Japan under Puyi's arrangement. The good manners Yunying became the Chinese teacher of Emperor's sister-in-law, and she was deeply loved by the Japanese royal family. Because Yunying prefers a free-flowing life, she is not used to the feeling of being under the fence in Japan, and the couple returned to Manchuria.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Puppet Manchukuo group led by Puyi became war criminals. Yunying and her husband were separated on the way to escape and never saw her husband again. Soon after the liberation, Prince Jin Zaifeng died. Yunying, her three children and her mother-in-law, lived a difficult life on the rents of several houses. Sometimes, in order to maintain her life, Yunying will go to the antique stall market at night to sell some of the items in her home. This kind of stall is the place where antique lovers often go shopping for treasures, because there will be some down-and-out nobles who don't understand the market of antiques at all, and they are very casual about the price of goods.
Some of the things Yunying sells in the street stalls are items rewarded by the emperor, and some are the daily necessities of her childhood. As the last princess, Yunying never yelled at the pedestrians, but just sat there quietly waiting for the buyer to come and inquire. As the days passed, everyone was very curious about the seller, who never yelled. It was only after inquiring that she was actually the sister of the last emperor. Many people started talking to Yunying, hoping to know some secrets of the palace or their opinions on antiques. Yunying, who has gone through the destruction of her family, is naturally reluctant to talk about the past. She only judges the quality of antiques based on her experience in the palace, and everyone is often disappointed.
At that time, a young man named Ma Weidu came here to search for collections. Many of his collections were bought from similar stalls. Between the cold and the summer, Ma Weidu also knew the former Qing princess. One day, Ma Weidu took a special official kiln from the auction to Yunying. Unexpectedly, Yunying was not interested at all, and she had never even glanced at it. The porcelain in the official kiln is very precious, but for a last princess, she has seen so much prosperity, what rare treasures can be seen?
结语
Later, Ma Weidu became a famous collector in China, exhibiting all the antiques such as ceramics, jade and wenwan collected during his life in his private museum-Guanfu Classical Art Museum . When talking about Yunying, she once said that she has experienced the ups and downs of her life, but she can still live with a normal heart, which is really admirable. Perhaps this requires not only a strong psychological quality, but also an ordinary life attitude.
