Inside the China Forbidden City Part II : The emperor’s day

[@sans-ff9sn]

Since I was a kid I love Chinese culture, dragon sculptures, temples, lanterns... China is the no 1 in my bucket list. Someday China someday 😝 Great video South China Morning Post, cool animation and presentation. Keep em coming 👍

[@DonJuanMarco1994]

No wonder he needs concubines. Reading 100 reports a day is very tiring.

[@zhengjianyangben2016]

attending his 100 or so concubines is also tiring ;-)

[@nicholasthegreatogreking1036]

Some had one some had two i dont think any Qing emperors had over 7

[@Blorgus.]

@@nicholasthegreatogreking1036 but they had hundreds of women at their disposal. Official high ranking consorts and concubines only made up a small percentage of them

[@joannesmith1175]

The forbidden city housed three thousand concubines for the emperor

[@johnwick-uo8vt]

the emperor worked much harder than i do and they didn't have weekends. No wonder China were so strong in the old days.

[@pohlinteh9381]

Have visited the Imperial Palace. Very fascinated by it. One of the places that I have always wanted to see.

[@vodka5060]

yep

[@allen4s4]

All the things in the video are based on the emperor's voluntary. If he does not want to follow the schedule, he also could do whatever he wants. In chinese history, there are also many emperors who had not attend any public meeting for more than twenty years.

[@麒麟葉]

Allen4s what is your supporting documents on your above claim? There is only one Emperor in Ming Dynasty who did not attend the meeting for 20+ years because of the overwhelmingly powerful cabinet. When you say many, who are you referring to??

[@ikhwanfathur6181]

Yeah, who?

[@zxera9702]

Yeah man tell us to whom are you referring to?

[@outisnemo555]

@@麒麟葉 Jiajing and his grandson Wanli。Jiajing did not attend meetings for 20 years. Wanli didn’t for almost 30 years. There is also the Zhengde emperor, who did things his own ways. That’s just the Ming dynasty.

Much more accurate than the first episode.

The Forbidden City is next to my office and next to the place where nothing happened.

[@user-wu6xl4wq5q]

Your house is also nearby, don't forget. Paid for by our tax money.

[@deanl4575]

"nothing happened" lol

[@arturvostrikov9340]

[@yosangle]

@@deanl4575 is it next to Tienanmen Square?

[@PrestonFlanders]

@@yosangle Yes, it is. The main gate (The gate of Heavenly Peace, Tiananmen) is just the other side of the road to the Tiananmen Square.

This is China: Imperial, glorious with the best fashion and architecture senses. Not a republic run by short-haired ordinary folks with lame Western clothes.

[@jenimarai1906]

Wanna Visit to Beijing soon... Much needed Break.

[@shemuelgallardovivarsjourn8814]

Concubines are from the highest class of nobility descended from people who contributed greatly to society. The tradition is justified so that the succession line may had/has/have many options just in case the next in line is incompetent. #History

When he’s on break than his concubines come bother him.

Hi

[@burung81]

The empire is the most powerful but actually is in golden cage/jail, forced work. By confuciasm value and his ancestor honor, he is obliged to work and follow that schedule. He didnt have choice to select empress, mostly this is arranged for him. His job is to bed them and to get son haha

[@RayMak]

Emperor has 3000 wives

[@vodka5060]

[@lockL-y2c]

Why emperor kept so many concubines in the palace n its real ridiculous. Its bad to be choosen to remain in palace coz its like jail.😥 Poor ladies.

[@helene4397]

Chosen to the palace was high honour for the ladies and their families.
