The rules of a show girl from the draft to the palace harem. Which harem fan gave me a complete story?

Concubine characters were mainly selected from the feats of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and some folk women were also selected, but generally either the emperor accidentally took a fancy to it (such as Empress Wei and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty) or the local officials recommended it, and they were first selected as maids, and then promoted by maids.

There was a large-scale selection of concubines in the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately no information about the Song Dynasty was found.

In the Ming dynasty, when the emperor wanted to choose concubines, he ordered the world to stop marriage, and then selected beautiful women from all over the country to raise the capital. They came from all over the country, and many people were eliminated in the primary election without seeing the real appearance of the Forbidden City. The rest, every 100 people, queue up to enter the palace according to their age in order to participate in the "selection". Eunuchs with great responsibilities, looking far and near, pull out the slightly taller, shorter, fatter and thinner and send them back to their original places. Those who stay will be grouped by age and enter the "first trial".

The eunuch looked at every girl with critical eyes, observed their appearance, and distinguished their voices, hair, ears, foreheads, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, shoulders, back, legs, feet and voices. As long as there was anything that was not pleasing to the eye or ears, they would "return it" on the spot.

At the second trial, the eunuch took a ruler, measured the girl's hands, arms, waist, legs and feet, and then let the girl "move". Anyone whose size does not meet the requirements, whose parts do not match and whose manners are not good will be sent back to their hometown.

The "final judgment" is generally the responsibility of the empress dowager, and sometimes the emperor personally goes out. They passed on the elites one by one according to the list on the table in front of them. The girl didn't stand on her knees and answered some questions about her name, family status and knowledge. The examiner judges the shape, distinguishes the sound, and screens out a queen, a concubine or several concubines. The rest are given to princes, county kings and grandsons, or stay in the palace as "female officials" and maids. There were "six bureaus" in the Ming Dynasty, which were run by female officials, and each bureau had "four divisions", with more than 100 female officials. They are the "reserve army" of the emperor's empresses.

Detailed historical records of the Qing Dynasty:

Every time I prepare to choose a female practitioner, I will report the situation form to the emperor first, and then write it to the Eight Banners Governor's Office immediately after the order is issued. Grass-roots officers at all levels in the Eight Banners reported the roster of school-age women step by step, summarized it in the Eight Banners command yamen, and finally reported it to the emperor by the household registration book, and the emperor decided the reading date. Those who really can't be selected because of illness, disability, ugly appearance, etc., must also take an oath at different levels, state the reasons, and be informed by the Dutong Advisory Office to the emperor. After obtaining permission, they can be exempted from the obligation to be selected and obey their own marriage.

Female practitioners selected by each flag should be sent to Beijing by mule cart in advance. Because many women have different family backgrounds, the government still has vehicles, while the military can only rent a car to ride. Therefore, when Qianlong was in power, it was stipulated: "Anyone who visits a woman, regardless of the size of an official, a soldier or a woman, will be rewarded with one or two taels of silver to meet the needs of hiring a car. ..... this kind of silver, ... moves the user's vault. " After the girls arrived in Beijing, the day before they entered the palace, they sat on mule cars, and the order was arranged by the participation and urging of this flag, which was called "queuing cars", according to the order of Manchu, Mongolian and Han. At the forefront are the relatives of the concubines in the palace, followed by the women who were selected to leave a sign for inspection this time, and finally the newly elected female monk, arranged in order of age, with the double lights on the car and the tree, with the sign of "the daughter of a certain flag and a certain leader" on it. Set out at sunset, enter the Di 'anmen at night, wait for the palace gate to open outside the Shenwu Gate, get off the bus, and enter Shunzhen Gate in turn under the guidance of the eunuch in the palace. The mule car that the female xiu took went east and south from the Shenwumen passage, went out of Donghuamen, went north from Chongwenmen Street, passed through Beijie Town, and then came outside Shenwumen via Di 'anmen. It was noon the next day. After the primary election, the girls boarded the mule carts they came in in turn outside the Shenwu Gate and returned to their respective homes. This method of orderly arranging cars was invented by a man named Danba Dozzi during Jiaqing period.

When the young women to be selected get off the mule car outside the Shenwu Gate, the officials of the housing department first maintain order, and then the eunuchs lead them into the palace. The Imperial Garden, Sports Temple, Beijing and Yi Xuan were once places for reading and draft. Generally, only two flags are read every day, according to the number of girls participating in the program. Usually there are five or six people in a row for the emperor or queen mother to choose from, but sometimes there are three or four people in a row, or even one person in a row. If you have a fancy, leave her a famous brand, which is called leaving a brand; If you don't select it, you will discard the flag. Then, women who leave the brand will be re-examined regularly, and those who don't stay after re-examination are also called abandoned cards. There are two fates for female practitioners who are re-elected after re-election: one is to give them to the prince or the royal family; One is to stay in the palace, accompany the emperor and become a candidate for empresses. If you become a candidate for empresses, the procedure will be more complicated. After the first "reading", you will repeatedly "review" and have a "registered name", which is selected to leave a brand; There is a "registered name", which is a brand left by the emperor himself. Finally, we have to go through the inspection of staying in the palace, select a certain number of female practitioners who stay in the palace for accommodation, and brand all the rest.
