Puyi, how many treasures did she take out when she left the palace, and where did she go?
When Puyi left the palace, there were still many people around him to serve him. There were so many people to live with every day, and the expenses were naturally large. It is impossible for him to pay for so many people with his own money. So Puyi knocked down the cultural relics in the palace.
It can be said that he secretly sold many cultural relics and treasures at that time, but he always carried only one thing with him, and that was Tian Lian's seal.
The origin of this treasure is not simple. This treasure witnessed the historical evolution of the Qing Dynasty from prosperity to decline.
Tian Huang Triple Seal is the seal of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. It has two squares and an ellipse, which are connected by a yellow carving chain. Fang Zhang's western language is a yin and a yang, the yang language is "dry Chris Lung", and the yin language is "only excellent"; The oval seal means "Lotte". The stone is crystal clear, moist as fat and finely carved, which is a royal treasure of the Qing Dynasty. Fang Xi is 2.6cm long and 2.6cm wide,10 cm; Tall. The oval seal has a long diameter of 3cm, a short diameter of 2.3cm and a height of 10cm.

This treasure is priceless. When Puyi donated this treasure to the Palace Museum, it immediately became the treasure of the town hall of the Palace Museum.
Why can this seal be called "the treasure of the town hall"? What is its legend?
Speaking of it, this treasure has attracted much attention because it has an indissoluble bond with two "celebrities". One is the designer Emperor Qianlong, and the other is the donor Puyi.
"Dry dragon &; Puyi "
Today, the seal of Tianhuang Sanlian is displayed in the Treasure Hall of the Palace Museum. Qianlong is the most precious emperor in history, with more than 1800 seals of various materials. This triple seal is very popular among thousands of seals of Emperor Qianlong.
The three seals of Tian Huangshi are all Tian Huangshi, which are connected into a whole by three Tian Huangshi chains and become inseparable parts of each other. The seals of "being superior to others" and "being happy" in the chapter are all derived from the Confucian classic Shangshu, which means to be prepared for danger in times of peace, conform to the destiny and understand the principles of nature. Emperor Qianlong carved these words on the seal to express his administrative thoughts.

Puyi described in "My First Half Life" that Tian Huang's original stone, engraved with three seals, entered the palace during the Kangxi period and remained in the warehouse for nearly a hundred years. Later, Qianlong, who was the emperor's father, wanted to carve a treasure seal of Lotte. This field of Yellowstone was selected by craftsmen and sent to Gan Qing Palace. Qianlong fell in love with it at first sight and thought the stone was quite big. It's a pity to carve only one seal. Let the craftsman design three seals.

This seal is carved from a piece of Tian Huangshi weighing about 5 Jin. These three seals are connected together, and the cutting method of seals is different from the layout of seals. Gan is a kind of seal cutting in Yang Wen, and its format is the traditional standard format. "Lotte" is also a Yang Wen, with the word in the middle and the pattern of flies on the left and right sides, which makes the printed surface dynamic. Only the best and the best "is the seal cutting in India, and the seals in the Han Dynasty are printed in the form of private printing, arranged grammatically." The whole seal surface is full, symmetrical, harmonious and beautiful.

Puyi's later years
After Qianlong's death, this seal was placed in Qianlong Garden. However, a fire broke out in 1923, and many treasures were burned up. Whether the seal of heaven and drought can be preserved is still a mystery. 1924, Puyi, who was expelled from the palace, took it away and has been with him ever since. It was not until the founding of New China that Puyi was handed over to the Palace Museum for collection by relevant institutions. It can be said that this treasure witnessed the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty.
