Does Prince Chun Zaifeng need to kneel down when meeting Puyi?

Required.

Because Puyi ascended the throne as emperor, according to etiquette and law, there were no fathers and sons in the court, only monarchs and ministers. As King Zaifeng, of course my father must salute.

Introduction

However, when Puyi became emperor, he was only 3 years old. According to tradition, the civil and military ministers at that time called Puyi Long Live Lord. This is not strange, but the other title is very It’s funny, that is, calling 3-year-old Puyi “old man”. According to Puyi’s recollection: “There was also an old man with white hair” who knelt on the ground and “called me old man”. Three-year-old Puyi didn’t quite know what “old man” meant.

So when he was a child, for a long time, Puyi thought that the old man was another name for him. Although the old man here is funny, it transcends age and is a term for the status of Emperor Puyi. Not only the old ministers, but also Puyi's biological father, Prince Chun Zaifeng, would kneel on the ground respectfully when they saw Puyi, and after shouting "Long Live Lord", they would call themselves slaves.
