Yongzheng, the emperor, has very distinct personality characteristics and hobbies. Through the study of Yong Zhengdi's life, taste and eating habits, a vivid and manly Yong Zhengdi is presented to us:
1. Drinking. Ceng Jing once said that Yong Zhengdi had a drinking problem. It is said that Yong Zhengdi and Roncodo drank late into the night and drank wine in the breeze to relieve their work pressure. He once left such a poem: "When talking about wine and poetry, we should weigh it first, and then consume it. Who is the friend of the Nine Heaven and Three Temples? The moon and the breeze make an oath. " Some information also plausibly said that Yong Zhengdi likes to drink a mutton wine produced in Ningxia, saying that he secretly gave it to Nian Gengyao and asked him to pay a secret tribute.
2. lascivious. Ceng Jing did accuse Yong Zhengdi of being a womanizer. In recent years, some experts have also verified that Yong Zhengdi has coveted women for a long time and has * * *. He even took out a North Korean historical material and said, "In his later years, Yongzheng was greedy for women, and he was terminally ill and could not be used for a long time from the waist down." Our research on Yong Zhengdi's harem shows that he had 25 concubines in his life, not the most. However, many concubines in Yong Zhengdi harem did leave images. The image of "Twelve Concubines of Yongzheng" was passed down from generation to generation, giving people the impression that he was very lewd.
Make up. Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Yong Zhengdi liked dressing up best. He has many makeup images handed down from generation to generation, such as wearing Taoist clothes, foreign clothes, Chinese clothes and so on. In these kinds of makeup pictures, the image of wearing a dress is very attractive: wearing a wig, wrapped in a shroud and wearing a scarf, much like the French monarch in Louis XIV's time. The costumes of the Han nationality are varied, such as ploughing, reading, shooting birds, playing the piano and so on.
4. Smell the snuff. Snuff is one of tobacco products. It is to dry tobacco leaves with good fragrance, add precious medicinal materials, such as musk, grind them into powder, put them into snuff bottles, and age them for a certain period of time before using them. Usage: Stick cigarette powder on your fingers and inhale gently through your nostrils. Smelling snuff can refresh the mind, dispel filth and avoid epidemic, and has the functions of dispelling cold, treating headache, unblocking nasal congestion, improving eyesight and promoting blood circulation. It can also relieve mental tension and let the tired body have a temporary rest and relaxation. Snuff is an exotic product, which was originally a unique custom of American Indians. It was introduced to China through the Philippines during the Qin Long period of the Ming Dynasty. During the Yongzheng period, snuff entered the court. Yong Zhengdi likes snuff very much and gives snuff and snuff bottles to ministers. Yong Zhengdi also likes all kinds of snuff bottles, and designs and guides the production of snuff bottles.
5. Wear glasses. According to the data, glasses first appeared in Florence, Italy in 1289, which is an important invention of Europeans. Yong Zhengdi likes western glasses very much, but this does not mean that Yong Zhengdi is arty. He is really dizzy and needs the help of glasses. Not only that, Yong Zhengdi also distributed glasses to the craftsmen who threw ashes as a practical welfare treatment.
6. look at the eight characters. Yong Zhengdi attaches great importance to birthdays. No matter what he does, he will calculate according to his birthday. Including such a simple thing as Nian Gengyao meeting him, he has to approve the eight characters to see if it is appropriate. He asked E Ertai for the horoscope, because E Ertai was weak and needed someone to watch his life span, so as to prevent it as early as possible.
7. "Add night shift". Yong Zhengdi is very diligent, often in the middle of the night batch of the throne. If you look at Zhu Pi in Yongzheng dynasty, you will see many records of night work in Yongzheng, such as "there is no peace in the day, two drums leak at night, and essays are written under the lamp"; Another example is "writing under the lamp, the handwriting is ridiculous"; Wait a minute. Thus, during the reign of Yong Zhengdi, he was diligent, seldom rested, and very diligent.
8. For example, black. As for color, Yong Zhengdi, like other emperors, likes yellow because it is the exclusive color of the royal family. However, by consulting historical materials, Yong Zhengdi has a soft spot for blacks. For example, most snuff bottles made by Yong Zhengdi Lingzao Office use black or black glaze, or are outlined in black and red. In addition, he ordered people to make other objects with black as the main color: Chunsheng with bronze tire and black glaze, a four-inch plate with black Bai Meihua, a lacquer box with black colorful flowing clouds, Chunsheng with black colorful flowing clouds, and a colorful embroidered robe with black woven round golden dragons.
9. I like to play with dogs. Besides being diligent, Yong Zhengdi will also relieve stress through recreational activities. For example, he likes playing with pet dogs very much. His two favorite dogs are called "Imitation Dog" and "Baifu Dog". Yong Zhengdi not only likes it, but also does some things for dogs: making clothes for dogs, making kennels and building kennels. Yong Zhengdi personally participated, carefully conceived, and sometimes instructed others to do it.
10. Good handwriting. In fact, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are compulsory courses for the royal family, nobles and princesses in the Qing Dynasty, and most people in the imperial clan can learn them. However, not many people are proficient. Yong Zhengdi's calligraphy is outstanding among the ministers. Emperor Kangxi appreciated him very much and ordered him to write more than 100 fan pieces every year. Therefore, after the completion of Emperor Kangxi's Jingling Monument, Yong Zhengdi personally wrote the inscription "Jingling Monument", which has been handed down to this day.
