Her life experience, her popularity and the idea of becoming a monk after Shunzhi's death all added unforgettable factors to her short life.
Empress Dong Eshi's ashes were placed in the Xiaoling Underground Palace in Shunzhi, which is the only palace in the Qing tombs that was not stolen. She and he were really quiet behind them for a long time.
among all the palaces in the Qing dynasty, Dong Eshi was the most legendary figure. At one time, people said that Dong Eshi was actually a Han woman. Her name was Dong Bai, and she was a talented and beautiful Suzhou geisha.
When the Qing army went south, Dong Shi was taken captive for her beauty and sent to the Forbidden City in Beijing. She became the emperor shunzhi's favorite.
In fact, this famous Suzhou geisha was taken away by a talented person in Jiangnan as early as the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. The matchmaker is a famous money. In the second year of Shunzhi, when the Qing army went south, the Mao family's property was looted, but Dong Xiaowan was not sent to Beijing as a trophy.
Dong Xiaowan died of incurable tuberculosis at the age of 28. Obviously, Dong Xiaowan is not Dong E's princess.
The description of Princess Dong E is as follows: "Dong Eshi, the female minister of Hubei Shuo, became an official at the age of 18, and her family background is very strong. She was crowned the third house. In August of ten years, she became a virtuous princess, and in December, she became an imperial concubine. " Not to mention that the imperial concubine is second only to the queen in the harem. This is a very unusual sign that the imperial concubine was pardoned. Shunzhi did not pardon the queen twice in eight years and eleven years. It is not difficult to see the unique position of imperial concubine Dong Eshi in Shunzhi's mind.
Hubei Shuo belongs to Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria. From the ninth year of Tiancong, after many battles, he was awarded the hereditary viscount.
eshuo girl was born in Chongde in 1639. In the age of early marriage, she was basically married at the age of 13. Why did Dong Eshi, one year younger than Shunzhi, not enter the palace until he was 18? What's more, 18 years old has already passed the age of being elected to the palace.
in the official records of the Qing dynasty, Dong Eshi's life experience before he entered the palace was kept secret.
However, related works written by westerners have revealed this point. The paragraph in the book reads: "the emperor shunzhi has a passionate love for the wife of a full-fledged soldier. When the soldier blamed his wife for this, he was beaten by Tian Zi, and he heard his condemnation.
The soldier died of resentment. So the emperor took the soldier's widow into the palace and made her the imperial concubine. According to Chen Yuan's research, the soldier's wife was Dong Eshi, and he was named the imperial concubine, while Dong Eshi's ex-husband was the younger brother of Shunzhi, Prince Xiang Bo Bogor.
The records of the Shunzhi dynasty did leave some interesting words: Prince Mao Mu of Xiang Bo died on July 3rd, 13th year of Shunzhi, and on July 9th, "The Ministry of Rites chose an auspicious day, and on August 19th, the Prince Xiang and Heshuo died together, and could not bear to hug each other", which fully reflected the unusual relationship between Shunzhi and Prince Xiang.
Dong Eshi, who is already a woman, can appear in Shunzhi's field of vision, which may be related to the system that married women in the harem of the Qing Dynasty took turns to serve concubines. Dong Eshi, who became Princess of Qin Xiang, is naturally one of the celebrities. Serving the empresses in the palace provided conditions for Shunzhi to meet her unexpectedly.
it's true. "I looked for him thousands of times in my dream, and when I looked back, this man was in the dim light."
It is worth noting that on April 5th, 11th year of Shunzhi, sourdrang dowager ordered to stop this unprecedented system of marrying women on the grounds of "strict self-discipline and no suspicion".
Empress Dowager Cixi may have heard something about Tian Zi and his sister-in-law Dong Eshi. According to the arrangement of the queen mother, the granddaughter of the nephew who is about to be born is the queen. At this time, how can we rock the boat? Besides, Prince Bomude is a man who attaches great importance to etiquette. Once he knew that Wang Hao had derailed and hit the wall and sympathized with others, of course he couldn't stand it; For the sake of MengMeng's marriage and family harmony, Xiaozhuang decided to nip in the bud immediately, cut off the way of meeting Shunzhi and Dong Eshi, and let their new love cool down and fade away in silence.
It is impossible to find out what happened in more than two years from April, 11th year of Shunzhi to August 19th, 13th year of Shunzhi, but it is conceivable that the Queen Mother's ban failed to stop the love affair between Shunzhi and Dong Eshi, and some news finally reached the ears of Prince Bogor.
So, Dong Eshi was reprimanded by her husband, and Shunzhi gave her aggrieved husband a slap in the face.
On July 3rd, Bom Bogor died of resentment, and Dong Eshi entered the palace as a widow.
why is Dong Eshi so attractive to Shunzhi? In the "Memories", Shunzhi wrote: "After you save it, you don't need a golden jade. Recite Biography of Tang Ruowang and A Walk of Honor to the Queen. You have graduated and studied for a long time. You will be fine. I use Zen as a metaphor, if you understand it. " The study of the Four Books and the Book of Changes, the mastery of calligraphy and the understanding of Zen make Dong Eshi and Shunzhi have the same cultural interests and endless topics.
For Shunzhi, although there are many harem wives and concubines, they are either from Mongolian grasslands or Manchu families, and almost all of them are illiterate.
How can a young son of heaven who has read some classic works find a bosom friend! In all fairness, Dong Eshi is far from a talented woman of Han nationality, but she is a rare confidante for Shunzhi who lives in the cultural desert.
the emperor shunzhi's passionate and lasting love caused an uproar not only in the harem, but also in Dong Eshi's heart.

Inevitable guilt and joy of love are intertwined. However, Bogor's death really made Dong Eshi feel guilty. He was deeply moved by the past and worried about everything. "Hate not to meet before marriage"! Finally, she was awarded the title of imperial concubine and grandly ascended the throne of imperial concubine. On October 7th, 14th year of Shunzhi, she gave birth to four emperors. This son became a crown prince at birth. The touch of the crown in the third palace also made her a target of public criticism. No one wants to be a loser in the harem with fierce emotional competition.
on the 24th day of the first month of Shunzhi, the four emperors died, and Shunzhi immediately honored them as emperors.
Although the fourth son of Shunzhi was the first to be knighted by the prince, Dong Eshi can still feel the schadenfreude of the concubines. Shunzhi still insists on establishing filial piety and respecting the queen's throne and the son of the queen's son, the son of Prince Rong. However, Dong Eshi, who suffered greatly from his son, was too weak to bear the heavy responsibility of bearing children. He repeatedly told the emperor that he didn't have to treat his son as a prince.
Perhaps because of Dong Eshi's physical condition, she can't have children, and this kind of wasteful thought is surging in Shunzhi's chest.
at first, he had no feelings for the second queen. For the sake of Dong Eshi's future situation, he must keep Dong Eshi in the center of the palace.
Knowing that Dong Eshi was a very powerful person among them, he stopped writing to the queen, so he advised Shunzhi to give up the idea of abolishing, saying, "I am willing to do my best" and added, "If your majesty abolished the queen, my concubine would not dare to have children."
Manchu-Mongolian marriage hangs over the harem, just like an inescapable shackle that imprisons the amorous son of heaven and his lover.
On the one hand, Dong Eshi tasted his true love; On the other hand, he had to watch out for the trap of jealousy and be careful what he said and did.
in the 14th year of Shunzhi, her father Ershuo died. Dong Eshi's reaction to this is not very sad, because she is worried that her father will make trouble outside like Huang Guifei's father. On the contrary, her father's death made her no longer worry, and her reasons seemed unreasonable.
Shunzhi's love has become an unbearable burden in Dong Eshi's life. She lives very tired in a hierarchical harem.
Shunzhi "even if he avoids the court, he is not tired", so as not to fall into the accusation that "the king never goes to court early"; Shunzhi was "very happy" when he discussed "the meaning of chapters and sentences" with her after speaking Japanese; Shunzhi asked her to read the letter together, and she stood up and thanked him for "not daring to be in power".
As for the Empress Dowager, she is trying her best to serve her, "walking from side to side". Shunzhi gave birth to a baby on October 7, 14. Although she is weak, she will try her best to serve the sick queen mother, but the queen mother is not at ease.
When she is in great pain after losing her son, she still has to smile and "swing from side to side". How can she stop "despair" in the long run? Exhausted Dong Eshi finally died on August 8th, the 17th year of Shunzhi, at the age of 22.
The wave caused by Dong Eshi's death is more violent than when he entered the palace. In order to make Dong Eshi the queen of Shunzhi, he tried his best to commit suicide.
according to tradition, a concubine can be honored as a queen only when her son inherits the throne.
sourdrang dowager was forced to agree to chase Dong Eshi as the queen in order to avoid the irrational excesses of Shunzhi.
But there are problems in the discussion of titles after death. Although the words "filial piety and virtue-the scene of Ren Xuan's literary grace" have been added to the twelve characters, there are still no necessary words "Heaven" and "Saint" in the posthumous title of the Empress, such as "Inheriting Heaven to Help Saint" and "Helping Heaven to Help Saint".
Shunzhi is deeply centered on China. Of course, he knew that Dong Eshi was neither a son of a young man nor a son of his mother. Although he is the son of heaven, he has no choice but strict feudal ethics.
Just like the poem Four Books written by Shunzhi, "I am a big landlord of mountains and rivers" and "I have not been free for eighteen years"! After Shunzhi lost Princess Dong Eshi, her emotions were out of control, far exceeding her father's Tai Chi.
After the funeral, the emperor shunzhi became a monk, which caused an uproar. He asked Sang Xingsen, a disciple of Yulin Tong, to shave his head to show his determination to die.
The idea of becoming a monk came into being after Dong Eshi's death, but his unfinished business had to be ended with his power-a title of queen of Dong Eshi, and a grand funeral was held for her. Once these two things are done, he will break into an empty door.
Shunzhi tonsure is actually a process from gradual enlightenment to epiphany. On October 4th, 14th year of Shunzhi, after meeting with Han Pu, a monk in Haihui Temple, Shunzhi had frequent contact with Zen masters Yu Lin, Mu Chen and Xingsen.
Of course, there are also considerations about the interests of scholars who fled into an empty door, because since the Tang and Song Dynasties, scholars have often gone out of Buddhism to seek spiritual comfort.
According to Matteo Ricci, a foreign missionary in China at that time, "Many people loyal to the Ming Dynasty did not want to be ruled by Manchuria and become monks." Many scholars, poets and painters live in temples. Some take "Siming" as the legal name; Some people are "loyal and filial". Every time Chongzhen dies, it is "burning incense and drifting north", and a day seems to be more than ten years; There are also generous poems: "Roaring in the world of mortals, loyalty and filial piety become dharma bodies", expressing their aspirations with poems; Others compiled the poems of Chongzhen (the old man who hanged himself) into a book called the Book of Changes. At that time, "there were few Confucianism" and "the collar was taken away by history", and the empty door was not empty.
Shunzhi ordered influential Buddhist monks Yulin and Mu Chen to enter Beijing.
Mu Chen is not only the editor of The Wall of Cishan Temple in Tiantai Mountain, Xishan Mountain, but also said that Putuo Temple was opened in Zhoushan in the eighth year of Shunzhi. At that time, Zhoushan was under the control of Wang Lu Zhu Yihai, and its political inclination was self-evident.
after entering Beijing, Mu Chen was arranged by Shunzhi to live in Xiyuan. The two places are like-minded.
The learned and respectable literati in Shunzhi erased the thoughts of the old country and the differences between China and Italy.
On the eve of his departure from Beijing, he wrote, "It is important to say goodbye to you, but it is difficult to meet you."
why can we shrink the land and stay for a long time? "Farewell to love, attachment appeared.
Never Cry Again, New Puqing and Flowers and Birds Sorrow in Jingshan Park. After returning to China, I wrote a political article, Heart Record, which not only misinterpreted Confucius' meaning of "worrying about the country and the people, but also demonstrated the rationality of Dingge in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The article said: "Xiang lost his teacher and prospered with Ming's death." To be an official or a scholar, Shouyang often needs to be proud of himself. This is human nature and violates Zhou Qing's reason. " Even in Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui for many years in the Qing Dynasty, such a statement could not be made up. It's different now! And Mu Chen's warning that he can't avenge his father through a monk is what Shunzhi has been waiting for.
it is an indisputable fact that Manchu-Chinese cooperation has expanded. But ritual Zen is also a double-edged sword, which broke the door of Zen and made quite a few Zen masters in Ming and Qing dynasties accept the reality of setting up a pavilion.
At the same time, it leads the idea of Shunzhi to an empty net. He once said to Mu Chen, "I am trapped in a treasure, that is, my wife and husband feel the wind and cloud settlement, but they don't know it." .
Shunzhi even took Yulin as his teacher, whose legal name was "Xing Chi". In the words of now, he can be regarded as the head of the family. At the same time, he has Dong Eshi's question and answer, so he has a special interest in his mind.
For a long time, Shunzhi became a monk, and Wu Meicun also wrote a poem about the county chief.
In the year of New Patriot, there was another poem written by Fu Lin, named Never.
Although it can be concluded that this poem was not written by Shunzhi, it says, "The food in the jungle is like a mountain on earth, and you can eat alms everywhere." Gold and white jade are not expensive, but cassock is the most difficult. I am a big landlord of mountains and rivers. When I worry about my country and people, I become very complicated. "and" I am a poor son in the west, why should I live in the royal family? Sentences such as "18 years is not free, mountains and rivers sit and rest" truly reflect Shunzhi's mentality of being bound by secular etiquette.
In the famous novel History of Qing Poetry during the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, after Lin Daiyu was captured by feudal ethics, Jia Baoyu, the protagonist, was arranged to abandon his family and become a monk, which may be caused by his strong thought of Shunzhi becoming a monk.
The grandmother of Cao Xueqin, the author of this book, is the wet nurse of Emperor Kangxi. The author may have heard that Shunzhi tried to escape into Buddhism when he was a child. It is with the accumulation of this kind of life that the famous work "The Wall of Cishan Temple in Tiantai Mountain, Xishan Mountain" has such a strong shock.
However, Shunzhi's becoming a monk is also empty. Yulin arrived in Beijing in time to prevent Shunzhi from becoming a monk. Yulin made it clear that if the emperor did not give up the idea of becoming a monk, Xing Sen would be burned to death. The burning pyre forced Shunzhi to yield and stay on earth as an emperor.
To this end, he arranged for Wu Wei, a popular eunuch, to become a monk in Zhongyi Temple in Benjamin, in order to end the emperor's unsuccessful wish, and to attend Wu's shaving ceremony in Zhongyi Temple in Benjamin on the second day of the 18th.
Excessive grief, the fatigue of funeral and the disappointment of becoming a monk all hurt the emperor shunzhi's already sick body.
Shunzhi got tuberculosis and even vomited blood when he was a teenager. Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis show pathological hyperfunction at the initial stage of onset, which is believed by Chinese medicine to be caused by yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. At that time, Shunzhi was in adolescence, and indulgent things happened from time to time.
However, the morbid hyperthyroidism exhausted his vitality, so that in his early twenties, he was deficient in both yin and yang and qi and blood.
Shunzhi's love for Princess Dong 'e is not "bearing the rain and dew alone" as commonly thought. In fact, the emperor and she often "strange bedfellows". They are like old friends, they are more spiritual communication.
Princess Dong 'e's death has weakened Shunzhi's fire and can be put out at any time.
Shunzhi died five days after attending Wu's shaving ceremony. According to Xing Sen's wishes, he held a cremation ceremony in Jingshan, and Xing Sen, who was ordered to come to Beijing, held a torch relay for Shunzhi on April 17th. His body and royal property were burned.
The ashes of Shunzhi were buried in the mausoleum he chose before his death, Qingling Mausoleum in Malanyu, Zunhua.
To Shunzhi's surprise, posthumous title "Zhang" after his death can't be associated with posthumous title, which means that filial piety is not worthy to be a ancestral temple. However, neither ethics nor natural human rights have anything to do with the shocking love between life and death that happened in the Forbidden City for several years.
