Besides Qianlong and Cixi, which other princes and princesses were "jade maniacs" in history?

When talking about "jade maniacs", everyone will definitely think of the two great men, Qianlong and Cixi. Their enthusiasm for jade is really well known to the world. Even after Cixi's death, most of the burial objects were jade products. It can be seen that their love for jade has reached an indescribable level. In fact, in addition to these two people, there are some royal children in history who are also loyal fans of jade. They either love jade or get happiness from jade. Anyway, they all have a deep connection and friendship with jade.

Ranked first is the first princess in history who was named after jade: Princess Jinyang.

Princess Jinyang was the third daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and his first wife, Empress Zhangsun. According to the court practice of the Tang Dynasty, princes and princesses were raised by their respective palaces, and it was very rare for them to see their father, the emperor. However, Princess Jinyang was different. She was the only princess raised by the emperor himself.

The reason behind this can be traced back to a jade pendant. It turns out that before Empress Changsun passed away, she left a jade pendant that she always wore to her daughter Jinyang. Emperor Taizong, who had lost his beloved wife, discovered that the empress's beloved jade pendant was in Princess Jinyang's possession. Filled with gratitude, he decided to personally raise the daughter left by the empress. From then on, Princess Jinyang lived with Emperor Taizong. The relationship between father and daughter was very deep. Taizong even put her on his lap when reviewing memorials, which showed how much he loved her. As a result, even historians called Princess Jinyang "the first princess of all ages."

It was the unique fate between Princess Jinyang and the jade pendant that brought her the emperor's favor and the honor of a favorable situation. It must be said that it was the jade that made her a legend and earned her the reputation of being the greatest princess of all time.

The second: A beautiful princess who sleeps on a jade bed and is so radiant that she captivates the whole world: Princess Anle.

I believe many people are familiar with this princess, especially those who like to watch costume TV dramas. She is the granddaughter of Wu Zetian and the daughter of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Li Xian and Empress Wei. Legend has it that she has an extremely beautiful appearance, delicate and fair skin, eyebrows like distant green mountains, and lips like dewy flowers. Don't think she is just a beautiful vase. In fact, she is also an ambitious person. As an adult, Princess Anle tried to emulate Wu Zetian and become the new generation of empress. In the later period of Wu Zetian's reign, Princess Anle used her beauty to seduce many important officials, trying to replace her grandmother and become the new empress.

According to historical records, Princess Anle was "so beautiful that the whole world was moved by her beauty" and had an unparalleled appearance. Her beauty is said to be related to a jade bed. Princess Anle usually sleeps on an emerald jade bed, which can beautify her complexion and keep her skin moisturized and tender. It was jade that created this princess who was recorded in history as the most beautiful in the world.

Third: Princess Shengping, who had a happy marriage thanks to the jade love ring.

Since ancient times, imperial families have been ruthless, especially princesses who are the emperor's daughters. Most of them cannot decide their own destiny. They are either forced to marry or become victims of politics. Few of them can achieve true happiness. Today she is one of the few people who enjoyed happiness, Princess Shengping, the daughter of Emperor Daizong of Tang. As a legitimate daughter, she is naturally deeply loved. You can tell from her name. As the saying goes, life is peaceful and prosperous. Even the society's hope is that she can live a happy and peaceful life.

After Princess Shengping came of age, she married Guo Yan, the son of Guo Ziyi, a famous general of the time. At that time, the two could be said to be a perfect match made in heaven, and they should have lived in harmony after marriage. However, because the princess had been favored since childhood, she was a little arrogant and often relied on her status to bully others. As a result, the two often quarreled. During the most fierce quarrel, Guo Ai said: "You just rely on your father being the emperor and owning the country to bully others in everything. I tell you, my father is not incapable of being an emperor, but he just doesn't want to be one."

Upon hearing this, the princess was so angry that she immediately returned to the palace and cried to her father. Guo Ziyi then went to the palace to plead guilty to the emperor, but Emperor Daizong did not get angry. Instead, he gave the princess and her husband a pair of jade rings and told them to be together forever and live in harmony. From then on, the two no longer quarreled, supported each other, grew old together, and had a very happy family.

Maybe you will say that this is all superstition and false statements, but it is a true record in history. Jade may not have such magical powers, but its charm is still irresistible. If you like it, you might as well wear one, maybe you will get different results.
