? Johnston is a scholar with profound attainments in Sinology. After living in China for several decades, Johnston dabbled in various books and made an in-depth study of China's poems and songs and the Confucian culture in China culture 190 1 year. Johnston published a book "An China Appeal to the Christian World about Christian Missionary Activities" in London under the pen name "Lin Shaoyang", but the Christian church tried to change China's practice, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from the British religious circles. ? Johnston advocated Confucianism. After coming to China, he not only claimed to be Johnston, but also named himself "Know" according to tradition, which was taken from "A Scholar Determined to Seek the Way" in The Analects of Confucius. Johnston likes traveling very much. During his decades in China, he visited the famous mountains and rivers in China, experienced the local customs and wrote a lot of works about China, many of which are still used for reference by academic research institutions. Johnston was also deeply attracted by Buddhist philosophy. He read a lot of Buddhist classics, visited famous temples and discussed Buddhist theory with eminent monks. He believes that "Buddhist thought is far deeper than the Bible". ? 1906, went up the Yangtze River and arrived in Sichuan. From 65438 to 0908, he arrived at Wutai Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, Putuo Mountain and other places, and visited Buddhist holy places along the way to collect first-hand information for studying Buddhist theory. The last emperor Puyi bid farewell to his mentor Zhuang Shidun. Since then, the two have never lived a leisure life without Johnston. When Puyi was a teenager, he asked his teacher, Johnston, why didn't you get married? He kept a seemingly smiling expression and did not answer. He is handsome and handsome, and it is by no means passive not to get married.
He dared to teach Puyi to break through old ideas, ride a bike and wear glasses. He saw through the fact that Puyi wanted to go to Oxford University only to escape the status quo of being controlled, and taught him that the best way to solve the problem was to be the master of his own family after marriage. On the occasion of parting, Puyi asked him: Do you think an emperor who stepped down can be an emperor again? Johnston must be familiar with western history and the history of Napoleon's comeback. So the answer is yes. At the same time, he also saw Puyi's mind. Therefore, Japan proposed that Puyi should be the emperor of Manchuria, and Puyi must be voluntary. So in his book, Puyi volunteered to be the emperor of Manchuria. What kind of person was Puyi in the last emperor? 1987 The biographical film of the last emperor directed by the famous Italian director bernardo bertolucci and starring John Lone, Chen Chong, Vivian Wu and Peter O'Toole tells the story of the ups and downs of Puyi in the past 60 years.
Puyi once proclaimed himself emperor three times: the first time in Qing Dynasty, the second time in zhang xun restoration period and the last time as a puppet of Manchukuo. Puyi also experienced three surrenders in his life: 19 12 to the Republic of China, then to the Japanese, and finally to the people of China and the Republic of China.
Puyi ascended the throne at the age of three and became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, his understanding of the identity of "emperor" was that he could do anything. If you do something wrong, someone will be punished for you. Later, Puyi's identity changed constantly in the torrent of history: emperor, lover, hedonist, puppet, war criminal in the Forbidden City, and finally became an ordinary citizen of new China.
Identity is given by society. If you can control yourself, you may achieve something. Otherwise, identity is a cage that binds people. Except for the identity of the last "gardener", other identities are beyond Puyi's control.
As a man and an emperor, he can't protect his mother, his wet nurse, his wife and his country. Even though he later became a war criminal and insisted on bearing all the crimes committed by the Japanese army, the reality was still out of his control.
As an "emperor", Puyi could not lead an ordinary life no matter how hard she tried. Finally, the "first emperor" was divorced by his own imperial concubine.
Puyi, who is ignorant and arrogant but kind-hearted, is destined to be an ordinary person. So in the end, Puyi finally found her manageable identity: a "gardener" in a botanical garden.
Puyi in The Last Emperor, a royal middleman who constantly wants to seek freedom and try to get rid of the shackles, unconsciously entered the "cage" because of historical choices. After some ups and downs, I finally realized myself and returned to an ordinary person. -A hundred elephants go to the theatre: go to the theatre and talk about life. Come along!
Why is Dusk in the Forbidden City only sold to China people? I heard that someone said that I didn't write well. Feel free to comment, I won't change it anyway.
At first glance, Emperor Puyi had many teachers, such as China teachers Chen and Xu Shichang. 19 18, Xu Shichang, who had been a retired teacher of Puyi, resigned, and then he was replaced by a blond foreigner. His name is very long, but there is a simpler and more widely known name, namely Johnston. Known by Puyi as "Scottish Old Master Q".
Johnston
Johnston is an expert on China, and he knows the history of China like the back of his hand. But he taught Puyi English, taught him western history, life and customs, and gave him an English name "Henry". That's how Henry Puyi came from. After a long time, the gap between Johnston and Puyi faded, and the trust doubled. 1922, Puyi gave Johnston a "top hat" on the wedding day, which was a great honor of the Qing Dynasty. In the palace, Puyi did have such rights. Johnston was very excited. He respectfully put on his official hat and minister's royal suit (although the Qing Dynasty was over for many years), took a photo of his residence in Beijing and sent it to many relatives and friends in Britain. In the following years, Zhuang Shidun taught Puyi the western constitutional monarchy and suggested Puyi to study in Europe. He sincerely hopes that Puyi will become an excellent head of state with the extraordinary bearing of an English gentleman.
Scottish emperor's island
However, after all, Puyi is Puyi, a dynasty and an emperor, and will eventually disappear in the long river of history. Johnston also faded out. After leaving Puyi, Zhuang Shidun personally wrote a book called Dusk in the Forbidden City, which made Puyi as hot as a star abroad. In order to commemorate this experience, Johnston bought an island in Scotland with all the option fees of this book, named the rooms on the island as Songzhu Hall, Ahava Hall and Emperor Hall respectively, and raised the dragon flag of Manchukuo. He also set up an exhibition hall in his residence to display the official clothes and souvenirs that Puyi gave him. In addition, there is a garage, water cellar, storage room and tanker room behind the villa (a 6000-liter tanker is placed inside), and there is a 500-square-meter hangar suitable for placing helicopters and private jets. Johnston loved and attached himself to China all his life. In his view, China should be transformed into a modern country through constitutional monarchy, and thousands of years of tradition and culture should be preserved in the royal family's inheritance. However, all this eventually went up in smoke after Puyi took refuge in Macedonia.
Interior furnishings of the Scottish monarch's islands
However, this island was left forever, and now people call it the Scottish Emperor Island. From a century ago to now, Johnston no longer exists, and there are several owners on the island, but each owner will display the official uniform and a worn-out Daqing Dragon Flag given to Johnston by Puyi on the island according to Johnston's design. 15 days ago, the island participated in a large-scale international auction with a starting price of 300 million RMB, which was limited to China people. However, in the end, it was sadly auctioned because no one took over. The truth of China people is fully explained here, which is worthy of praise.
Johnston and Puyi
But then again, after a hundred years, how much expectations Johnston had for Puyi at that time and how loyal he was to Puyi, it is worth considering for a moment.
Thank you for coming and hope to see you again.
Why would Puyi rather take the blame than be the first person in the Forbidden City to cut off his braid? Because Puyi has an English teacher, her thoughts are very westernized. He has always hated these feudal dross.
