Look At The Treasures In The Imperial Palace 看看故宫里的珍宝

Dear steemian friends:

A few years ago, I enjoyed watching a program of CCTV, called "Jian Bao" （antique appreciation). I nearly watched each episode . Especially like the origin and the story of the each collection. While visiting the Shenyang Imperial Palace , I found that many of the rooms display exquisite collections. Of course, I can't miss this opportunity. Although I know little about them, I just watch for fun. That day I have just had a quick glance at them just like hanging out in a market and shot some of them optionally. Today I picked some photos and would like to share with you.

大家好！
前几年我非常喜欢看的央视一档节目叫鉴宝。基本上每期必看。 尤其喜欢每一件藏品的来历和背后故事。在游览沈阳故宫的时候，里面不少房间都陈列了精美的藏品，我当然也不能放过这样的机会，虽然我对它们知之甚少，就是看个热闹。那天我像逛集似的，走马观花，随意拍了一些。今天我挑选了几个与大家共享。

Part one :第一部分：珐琅部分藏品。

如意旧时中国民间用以搔痒的工具, 也有防身的作用。远在东汉时就已经有了，在清朝时，已成为宫廷的珍宝之一。寓意万事顺利，吉祥如意。作为吉祥之物，它在民间及宫廷中都有广泛的使用，常常有人远行前，家人或友人会送上如意，以表示良好的祝愿。在清代，皇帝登基大典，大臣会敬献“如意”以祝政通人和，新政顺利。特别是在帝后大婚，及至宫中万寿，中秋元旦时节，都需要臣下敬献数量不少的“如意”，以寓意帝后平安大吉，福星高照。可见，一件小小的“如意”是陈设赏玩的珍贵之物。

In ancient times, Chinese peoples used to scratch their body with Ruyi and it helps us self protection. As far back as the Eastern Han Dynasty, it had existed and became one of the treasures of the court in Qing dynasty. Implied Meaning is that everything is going well, and good luck and happiness to you .

As an auspicious thing, it is widely used in the civil and imperial courts. And before some people were away from home , family or friends would send a Ruyi for them to express their best wishes . In Qing Dynasty, the emperor is in the ascending ceremony , the minister presented "Ruyi" to express logical administration and harmonious people, the new deal goes well . Especially in the wedding of the emperor, in the Mid- Autumn Festival and New Year, requires a great deal of the "Ruyi" to express the safety and the best of luck. So, a little "Ruyi" is a precious furnishings.
