Records of court examinations for female students.
There are some different regulations on the scope of choosing female practitioners in different dynasties, but they are basically the daughters of Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners officials, other military families and idle young men aged 13 to 17. The selection of women's courses was initiated by the Ministry of Housing. During the period of choosing female practitioners, female practitioners must get off at Shenwumen by mule car, then be introduced by eunuchs from the side door in sequence, gather in front of Shunzhen Gate, and then enter Shunzhen Gate, so that the emperor can choose according to the pre-arranged list order. The emperor only picks women with two flags every day. In principle, Manchu, Mongolian and Han women are preferred. During the trial, the candidates should be arranged in a row of six people according to the imperial edict, and only women with beautiful appearance and dignified manners can be selected. The selected female practitioners should be reviewed regularly until they pass the re-examination.
Edit the title of this paragraph.
The female practitioners elected to the palace have reached a certain age (generally 25 to 30 years old). If she can't get the favor of the emperor, she can be released from the palace. If she is favored by the emperor, she can't leave the Forbidden City until she dies. She can only spend her youth slowly in the high walls of the palace. A woman who is favored by the emperor should be given a title. The titles that female practitioners got at the beginning were generally Wuji, Changshi, Guifei or concubine, and they can be promoted step by step in the future. Female practitioners have the opportunity to be elected as queens. Among the top ten emperors in the Qing Dynasty, they only existed in the Shunzhi, Kangxi, Tongzhi and Guangxu Dynasties. Because sai-jo, saint-zu, Mu Zong and Dezong succeeded to the throne in the early years, the other six emperors all succeeded to the throne after marriage. Except for the last emperor Puyi, who was under six years old when he died in the Qing Dynasty, he could not get married, so he could only be canonized as Mrs. Di Fujin in his native place. The nun was elected queen and needed a grand wedding. There will be many grand ceremonies at that time. First of all, it is necessary for the Imperial Academy to write calligraphy treasures, and the Ministry of Rites to make gold calligraphy treasures. Then, it is necessary to prepare a bride price, and send envoys to the Queen's house on auspicious days to pay a bride price with engagement significance. Before marrying the queen into the palace, the emperor should prepare wedding gifts again and invite ministers to give gifts to the queen's house. On the day before the ceremony, the emperor will send an official to tell the shrine and ancestral hall to welcome him. The emperor will go to see the Empress Dowager with a dress, and then hold a grand ceremony in the newly renovated Hall of Supreme Harmony. Then the emperor returned to the palace, and the chief and deputy envoys held a ceremony to celebrate and welcome the queen to the official position. Under the guidance of a long guard of honor, Feng Yu took the queen into the meridian gate, passed the Taihe Gate, the left middle gate and the left back door, and came to Gan Qing Palace (under the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in Shunzhi and Kangxi) to stop. The queen passed through the Jiaotai Hall and entered the wedding bridal chamber of Kunning Guandong Nuange, waiting for the auspicious banquet with the emperor. The next day, the emperor and empress went to visit the Empress Dowager Cining Palace, and the emperor held a celebration ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Hundreds of civil and military officials and foreign envoys congratulated him, and the emperor issued a letter to the world. Later, the emperor held a grand banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Empress Dowager of Ciningguan, where the Queen's father, mother and others got presents. At this point, the grand wedding is over. Fu Lin, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, was the only emperor who held two big weddings. In August of the eighth year of Shunzhi (165 1), the sai-jo made Bolzigit the queen. Later, because Sai-jo thought the Queen was "King Neri" (referring to Regent Dolgun), I was engaged by marriage when I was young, and she was not chosen. At the beginning of the self-made book, it didn't agree with Lian Yi (A Record of the Qing Ancestor), and "I was jealous for a while, and those who were not beautiful hated me and wanted to buy it", "I was addicted to luxury, and my clothes were embroidered with pearls and jade, which was useless and ignorant" (The Queen of Filial Piety), so I was in Shunzhi for ten years.
Edit the list of female practitioners selected by the Qing emperor.
From the time of Shunzhi, it was stipulated in the Qing Dynasty that all women aged 13 to 16 from the Eight Banners family must participate in the emperor's draft every three years. Those who are chosen must stay in the palace and become the concubines of the emperor, or be blessed by the royal family. Those who have not participated in the draft are not allowed to get married. When reading the selection, according to the order of the Eight Banners, usually seven or eight people stand in a row and are selected by the emperor and the empress dowager. Write down the names of the selected women on each line and keep them in the palace for filing. This list is called "Showing Women's Volleyball List" in the document.
