After more than two thousand years of feudal imperialism, our country ended the feudal system with the abdication of the Qing government. The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in our family, and the last emperor was Ai Xin Jue Luo Puyi. After the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, the republic of China government was established, and on February 12, 1912, Puyi announced his abdication, and after the peace between the north and the south, Yuan Shikai became the president. However, he had coveted the throne that was admired by thousands of people for a long time, so the presidency could not satisfy him, and despite the opposition of the people, Yuan Shikai restored in 1916 and called himself the Hongxian Emperor.
After Yuan Shikai's restoration, he was dressed in yellow robes, and like all emperors, he regarded himself as the "True Dragon Heavenly Son". Status symbols such as dragon robes, dragon chairs, etc. are essential. During the imperial feudal system, the dragon chair was a chair carved with a dragon, because the emperor was a "dragon", so the dragon chair was the emperor's exclusive seat, a symbol of the emperor's power, and anyone who sat on the dragon chair was to be killed for the crime of treason.
The dragon chair in history is not as golden as in the TV series, in fact, the real dragon chair is not made of gold, but carved from wood. This wood is naturally not an ordinary wood, but a fine golden silk nan wood, which is completed after dozens of processes such as cutting, polishing, carving, polishing and so on by special craftsmen. Yuan Shikai claimed the title of empress, and on the grounds that he was not accustomed to the dragon chair that others had sat on, he ordered people to create a brand new dragon chair that was not of any kind. Compared with the usual, this dragon chair has a lot shorter pedals, after all, Yuan Shikai is small, which is convenient for him to sit up every day.
Years later, when experts tested the dragon chair in disrepair, they found that the dragon chair was actually a "tofu slag project", and the inside of the dragon chair was actually stuffed with straw, which was surprising, after all, this was Yuan Shikai's huge investment of 400,000 yuan at that time. For this result, experts speculate that it is possible that the bold workers partnered at that time and wanted to make a lot of money on the dragon chair. It may also be that the workers deliberately stopped, after all, Yuan Shikai was unpopular at that time, so he manipulated his dragon chair.
