Records of Life in the Qing Dynasty (Highly Recommended by Ma Boyong!)

Qing palace dramas tell you: the palace fights between concubines and empresses cannot stop; the emperor cannot eat more than three bites of each dish; the yellow flag is the orthodoxy of the royal family and is walked sideways... Do you really believe these routines? In fact, we have been deceived by TV series all this time. The real Qing Dynasty is beyond your imagination! When the concubines went to bed, they did not take off their clothes and wrap them up in quilts. Instead, they gathered together in the back hall of Yangxin Hall and waited for the emperor to turn over the sign. Concubines in the Qing Dynasty did not call themselves concubines or concubines. When facing the emperor and the queen mother, they generally called themselves "minions". The emperor is not afraid that you will know his taste. Open the "Meal Dishes" - Qianlong did not like seafood, but Guangxu was a "seafood lover"! This book tells the daily life of the Qing Dynasty in seven parts, covering various aspects such as language, commerce, architecture, transportation, bannermen, harem life, clothing, marriage, diet, etc. It uses particularly rigorous textual research to restore the particularly interesting daily life of the Qing Dynasty!
