In history

Zhang Yuteng, director of the Museum of history, said that nine of the ten museums in Shenyang's the Imperial Palace are heavyweights which are rare in the near future.

In addition to Nur Ha Che's imperial sword, Royal Tai Chi antlers chair and other twenty-first class relics, many military items in the exhibits attracted many people's curious eyes.

In the Qing Dynasty, the "big ring lock nail" worn by eight banners in the Qing Dynasty was made up of iron small rings connected to each other, with the shape of a semi long sleeved blouse, which was once mistaken for a sweater by the public.

The "iron coat" made in the Qing Dynasty from emperor Kangxi to Qianlong had fine workmanship and considerable weight. Usually the generals wore them to resist the enemy's sword and arrow attacks, reflecting the tragic fighting of the golden horse in the battlefield.

The collar of the lock is designed with high collar and cotton and linen fabric to prevent friction.

In addition, the clothes worn by the imperial concubines in the Qing Dynasty are colorful and exquisite in workmanship.

Even with a pair of high floor shoes, the vamp is made of Blue Satin Embroidered stitch, which is made up of fourteen centimeters of sole and heel with four beads, with double patterns and bats.

According to the origin of the high floor shoes, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although the Manchu women did not foot their feet, the feet were absolutely unacceptable according to the aesthetic standards at that time.
