GuangXu (Kuang-hsu) was the tenth Emperor of the Great Qing dynasty reigning from 1874-1908. However, he did not actually rule for very long. Acted for by regents, when he reached his majority he instituted the "100 Days of Reform" in an effort to modernize China and establish a representative, constitutional monarchy in similar fashion to Meiji Japan. However, when his aunt, the powerful Grand Empress Dowager Cixi saw the traditional power base threatened she launched a coup against him and kept him under house arrest for the rest of his life. When he died, only one day before the Empress Dowager, many suspected she had him poisoned so he could not retake power after her death.
This is a Manchu name; the family name is Aisin-Gioro.
The Guangxu Emperor, personal name Zaitian, was the eleventh emperor of the Qing dynasty, and the ninth Qing emperor to rule over China. His reign lasted from 1875 to 1908, but in practice he ruled, under Empress Dowager Cixi's influence, only from 1889 to 1898. He initiated the Hundred Days' Reform, but was abruptly stopped when the empress dowager launched a coup in 1898, after which he was put under house arrest until his death. His regnal name, "Guangxu", means "glorious succession".

Shun Gui, a radical nobleman and a favourite of Emperor Guangxu, believes that Empress Dowager Cixi is behind the murder of his master, Yang Xizhen. He then plots to assassinate Cixi out of revenge. But the truth is that Cixi knows nothing about Yang's death. And she believes that the one who is behind her attack is her adopted son, the young emperor Guangxu who wants to rule the country without her influence. Thus, this event only worsens the discord between Cixi and her son, which will lead to the fall of the Qing Empire.

Empress Dowager Cixi1 (Chinese: 慈禧太后; pinyin: Cíxǐ Tàihòu; Wade-Giles: Tz'u-Hsi T'ai-hou) (29 November 1835 15 November 1908), of the Manchu Yehe Nara Clan, was a powerful and charismatic figure who became the de facto ruler of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in China for 48 years from 1861 to her death in 1908.
Selected by the Xianfeng Emperor as a concubine in her adolescence, she climbed the ranks of Xianfeng's harem and gave birth to a son, who became the Tongzhi Emperor upon Xianfeng's death. Cixi ousted a group of regents appointed by the late emperor and assumed regency over her young son with Empress Dowager Ci'an. Cixi then consolidated control and established near-absolute rule over the dynasty. She installed her nephew as the Guangxu Emperor in 1875. A conservative ruler who refused to adopt Western models of government, Cixi rejected reformist views and placed Guangxu under house arrest in later years for supporting reformers. However, after a humiliating clash with the Eight-Nation Alliance, external and internal pressures led Cixi to attempt institutional changes and appoint reform-minded officials. Ultimately, the Qing Dynasty collapsed a few years after her death.

She was also a niece of the Empress Dowager Cixi. She had no children, and was most famously known for signing the abdication on behalf of the child Emperor Puyi, in 1911, ending imperial rule in China.

After Empress Dowager Cixi, who has ruled China for almost a half century, retreats to the Summer Palace, her adopted son, Emperor Guangxu, launches a national reform in hope to better the Chinese empire. However, the reform is aimless and brings about chaos rather than prosperity. Some people then complain to Cixi, asking her to return to the government. Not wanting to become a puppet ruler again, Guangxu plots to detain Cixi, or to kill her if needed. He and his supporters intend to carry out their plan on the Moon Festival night. Like his reform, his coup is unsuccessful. Cixi then takes over the government once again and places Guangxu under house arrest. This event takes place in September 1898.
This clip is from a 2010 historical and political drama, "The Firmament of the Pleiades" (蒼穹之昴). The drama stars Japanese actress Yuko Tanaka (田中裕子) as Empress Dowager Cixi.
Notes: Concubine Zhen usually dresses as a boy. Her husband, Emperor Guangxu, then refers to her as "Zhen Ge" (珍哥), literally meaning "Elder Brother Zhen". But I find more appropriate to translate it as "[my] dearest boy" (when the emperor addresses her with this title). It should be noted also that "zhen" means dearly loved, highly valuable, precious, etc.

"Ruling behind the curtain" (垂簾聽政) is how Empress Dowager Cixi rules over the Chinese empire. She seized power in 1861 and has since acted as the regent for several infant emperors. During an audience, the emperor sits on the throne, behind which Cixi sits, with a curtain separating them. Cixi is behind the curtain because a female cannot get involved in politics in a patriarchy like China. Despite that, Cixi is the de facto ruler of the country; the emperor is just a puppet. And now, Guangxu the boy emperor has grown up. He wants to rule the nation on his own. Conflicts between the emperor and the regent therefore begin.
In this clip, Cixi examines a concubine of the emperor who interferes with government affairs, because the law prohibits females from politics. Ironically, Cixi herself is ruling the country, which could also be considered a political activity.

Empress Dowager Cixi staged a coup in 1861 and assumed regency for her young son, Emperor Tongzhi. In 1875, after the death of Tongzhi, Cixi put her infant nephew, Guangxu, on the throne and continued to serve as regent. But now, Guangxu has grown up. Cixi might need to step down from power.

The Guangxu Emperor (14 August 1871 – 14 November 1908), born Zaitian of the Manchu Aisin Gioro clan, was the eleventh emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the ninth Qing emperor to rule over China. His reign lasted from 1875 to 1908, but in practice he ruled, under Empress Dowager Cixi's influence, only from 1889 to 1898. He initiated the Hundred Days' Reform, but was abruptly stopped when Cixi launched a coup in 1898, after which he was put under house arrest until his death. His regnal name means "glorious succession".
Zaitian was the second son of Yixuan, Prince Chun, and his primary spouse Yehenara Wanzhen, a younger sister of Empress Dowager Cixi. On 12 January 1875, Zaitian's cousin, the Tongzhi Emperor, died without a son. Empress Dowager Ci'an suggested enthroning one of Yixin, Prince Gong's sons as the next emperor, but she was overruled by Cixi. Instead, breaking the imperial convention that a new emperor must always be of a generation after that of the previous emperor, Cixi nominated her nephew and the imperial family agreed with her choice.

In memory of Her Majesty Zhenfei. Please note: The English term "concubine" means the secondary wife of a man with more than one wife.. In Chinese, "concubine" means 妾 or 妾侍. Translating the original term 妃 as "concubine" is a degrading practice and a misuse of terms, even if we say "imperial concubine". A more correct English term for the Chinese character 妃 may be "consort" which means the spouse -- husband or wife -- of a royal person. This is a composite image of three photos I took in the Forbidden City on 23 June 2010 Wednesday. The portrait and the calligraphy 精衛通誠 written by her elder sister 瑾妃 are actually inside the memorial chamber at right which is called 懷遠堂. 精衛 is the name of a mythological bird. This bird is the spirit of the daughter of 炎帝, called 女娃, who was drowned in the East Sea. The bird always wants to fill up the East Sea with wood and stone pieces from West Mountain. Cf. 《辭海》（上海辭書出版社） It is said that 珍妃 likes photography. But the present portrait seems to be the only photo available today. What a pity! Upon closer examination, it appears that the drum-shape structure at top of Zhenfei's Well 珍妃井 can be moved or removed to expose the actual well opening at ground level. The opening may perhaps be wide enough for more than one person to fall through. Just a guess. But now who can tell for sure how that well looked like in 1900? A good book on Zhenfei is: 《珍妃》 于善浦 北京 紫禁城出版社 1989. It is based on archival sources. From the book: 「珍妃實不過是光緒帝的一名普通妃子而已。」(後記). Nevertheless, in September 1898 her two brothers were among the arrested of the reform group . And, as a "pillow-side person" of the emperor, she probably was sympathetic with the reforms of her husband, if not an active participant. In any case, Zhenfei (1876-1900) reminds us of a sad phase of Chinese history. The reform movement of Emperor Guangxu lasted only three months in 1898. Before 1900, Zhenfei had already been in custody in the Forbidden City for some two years or so. She looks charming too, even by today's standard. Location: Zhenfei's Well 珍妃井 is not far from 神武門, the northern entrance to the Forbidden City.

Shun Gui, a radical nobleman and a favourite of Emperor Guangxu, believes that Empress Dowager Cixi is behind the murder of his master, Yang Xizhen. He then plots to assassinate Cixi out of revenge. But the truth is that Cixi knows nothing about Yang's death. And she believes that the one who is behind her attack is her adopted son, the young emperor Guangxu who wants to rule the country without her influence. Thus, this event only worsens the discord between Cixi and her son, which will lead to the fall of the Qing Empire. This clip is from a 2010 historical and political drama, "The Firmament of the Pleiades" (蒼穹之昴). The drama stars Japanese actress Yuko Tanaka (田中裕子) as Empress Dowager Cixi. -

[Eng sub] Empress Dowager Cixi places young emperor under house arrest
After Empress Dowager Cixi, who has ruled China for almost a half century, retreats to the Summer Palace, her adopted son, Emperor Guangxu, launches a national reform in hope to better the Chinese empire. However, the reform is aimless and brings about chaos rather than prosperity. Some people then complain to Cixi, asking her to return to the government.

[Eng sub] Empress Dowager Cixi punishes an emperor's concubine for insulting her
"Ruling behind the curtain" (垂簾聽政) is how Empress Dowager Cixi rules over the Chinese empire. She seized power in 1861 and has since acted as the regent for several infant emperors. During an audience, the emperor sits on the throne, behind which Cixi sits, with a curtain separating them. Cixi is behind the curtain because a female cannot get involved in politics in a patriarchy like China. Despite that, Cixi is the de facto ruler of the country; the emperor is just a puppet. And now, Guangxu the boy emperor has grown up. He wants to rule the nation on his own. Conflicts between the emperor and the regent therefore begin. In this clip, Cixi examines a concubine of the emperor who interferes with government affairs, because the law prohibits females from politics. Ironically, Cixi herself ... -

光緒皇夜祭珍妃(前段)‧新馬師曾 Emperor Guangxu's Homage to Zhenfei at Night
In memory of Her Majesty Zhenfei. Please note: The English term "concubine" means the secondary wife of a man with more than one wife.. In Chinese, "concubine" means 妾 or 妾侍. Translating the original term 妃 as "concubine" is a degrading practice and a misuse of terms, even if we say "imperial concubine". A more correct English term for the Chinese character 妃 may be "consort" which means the spouse -- husband or wife -- of a royal person. This is a composite image of three photos I took in the Forbidden City on 23 June 2010 Wednesday. The portrait and the calligraphy 精衛通誠 written by her elder sister 瑾妃 are actually inside the memorial chamber at right which is called 懷遠堂. 精衛 is the name of a mythological bird.

After Empress Dowager Cixi, who has ruled China for almost a half century, retreats to the Summer Palace, her adopted son, Emperor Guangxu, launches a national reform in hope to better the Chinese empire. However, the reform is aimless and brings about chaos rather than prosperity. Some people then complain to Cixi, asking her to return to the government. Not wanting to become a puppet ruler again, Guangxu plots to detain Cixi, or to kill her if needed. He and his supporters intend to carry out their plan on the Moon Festival night. Like his reform, his coup is unsuccessful. Cixi then takes over the government once again and places Guangxu under house arrest. This event takes place in September 1898.
This clip is from a 2010 historical and political drama, "The Firmament of the Pleiades" (蒼穹之昴). The drama stars Japanese actress Yuko Tanaka (田中裕子) as Empress Dowager Cixi.
Notes: Concubine Zhen usually dresses as a boy. Her husband, Emperor Guangxu, then refers to her as "Zhen Ge" (珍哥), literally meaning "Elder Brother Zhen". But I find more appropriate to translate it as "[my] dearest boy" (when the emperor addresses her with this title). It should be noted also that "zhen" means dearly loved, highly valuable, precious, etc.

"Ruling behind the curtain" (垂簾聽政) is how Empress Dowager Cixi rules over the Chinese empire. She seized power in 1861 and has since acted as the regent for several infant emperors. During an audience, the emperor sits on the throne, behind which Cixi sits, with a curtain separating them. Cixi is behind the curtain because a female cannot get involved in politics in a patriarchy like China. Despite that, Cixi is the de facto ruler of the country; the emperor is just a puppet. And now, Guangxu the boy emperor has grown up. He wants to rule the nation on his own. Conflicts between the emperor and the regent therefore begin.
In this clip, Cixi examines a concubine of the emperor who interferes with government affairs, because the law prohibits females from politics. Ironically, Cixi herself is ruling the country, which could also be considered a political activity.

In memory of Her Majesty Zhenfei.
Please note: The English term "concubine" means the secondary wife of a man with more than one wife.. In Chinese, "concubine" means 妾 or 妾侍. Translating the original term 妃 as "concubine" is a degrading practice and a misuse of terms, even if we say "imperial concubine". A more correct English term for the Chinese character 妃 may be "consort" which means the spouse -- husband or wife -- of a royal person.
This is a composite image of three photos I took in the Forbidden City on 23 June 2010 Wednesday. The portrait and the calligraphy 精衛通誠 written by her elder sister 瑾妃 are actually inside the memorial chamber at right which is called 懷遠堂.
精衛 is the name of a mythological bird. This bird is the spirit of the daughter of 炎帝, called 女娃, who was drowned in the East Sea. The bird always wants to fill up the East Sea with wood and stone pieces from West Mountain. Cf. 《辭海》（上海辭書出版社）
It is said that 珍妃 likes photography. But the present portrait seems to be the only photo available today. What a pity!
Upon closer examination, it appears that the drum-shape structure at top of Zhenfei's Well 珍妃井 can be moved or removed to expose the actual well opening at ground level. The opening may perhaps be wide enough for more than one person to fall through. Just a guess. But now who can tell for sure how that well looked like in 1900?
A good book on Zhenfei is: 《珍妃》 于善浦 北京 紫禁城出版社 1989. It is based on archival sources.
From the book: 「珍妃實不過是光緒帝的一名普通妃子而已。」(後記). Nevertheless, in September 1898 her two brothers were among the arrested of the reform group . And, as a "pillow-side person" of the emperor, she probably was sympathetic with the reforms of her husband, if not an active participant.
In any case, Zhenfei (1876-1900) reminds us of a sad phase of Chinese history. The reform movement of Emperor Guangxu lasted only three months in 1898. Before 1900, Zhenfei had already been in custody in the Forbidden City for some two years or so.
She looks charming too, even by today's standard.
Location: Zhenfei's Well 珍妃井 is not far from 神武門, the northern entrance to the Forbidden City.

Empress Dowager Cixi (Chinese: 慈禧太后; pinyin: Cíxǐ Tàihòu; Wade-Giles: Tz'u-Hsi T'ai-hou) (29 November 1835 -- 15 November 1908), of the Manchu Yehe Nara Clan, was a powerful and charismatic figure who became the de facto ruler of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in China for 47 years from 1861 to her death in 1908.
Selected by the Xianfeng Emperor as a concubine in her adolescence, she climbed the ranks of Xianfeng's harem and gave birth to a son who became the Tongzhi Emperor upon Xianfeng's death. Cixi ousted a group of regents appointed by the late emperor and assumed regency over her young son with the Empress Dowager Ci'an. Cixi then consolidated control and established near-absolute rule over the dynasty. She installed her nephew as the Guangxu Emperor in 1875. A conservative ruler who refused to adopt Western models of government, Cixi rejected reformist views and placed Guangxu under house arrest in later years for supporting reformers. However, after a humiliating clash with the Eight-Nation Alliance, external and internal pressures led Cixi to attempt institutional changes and appoint reform-minded officials. Ultimately, the Qing Dynasty collapsed a few years after her death.
Historians from both Kuomintang and Communist backgrounds have generally portrayed her as a despot and villain responsible for the fall of the Qing Dynasty, but in recent years professional historians have suggested that she was a scapegoat for problems beyond her control, a leader no more ruthless than others, and in fact an effective if reluctant reformer in the last years of her life.

In 1908, as a small boy, he was chosen to succeed GuangXu as "Great Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, Grand Khan of Tartary, the Son of Heaven and Lord of 10,000 Years". As Emperor Xuantong he reigned while regents ruled until the revolution and abdicated in 1912. He was briefly restored by a monarchist warlord during World War I but in 1924 another warlord forced him to leave the Forbidden City. He moved to Tianjin where he was protected by the Japanese. In 1932 he was taken by the Japanese to Manchuria to lead the State of Manchukuo as Chief Executive. In 1934 he was formally enthroned as Emperor Kang Teh of the Great Manchu Emperor. Following the Japanese defeat in 1945 he was captured by the Soviets, later turned over to the Red Chinese and kept in prison for ten years of "reform through labor". He was then released and married to a communist party member to serve as an example of the "reformative" abilities of the communist regime. He died under somewhat questionable circumstances in 1967.

Summer Palace - Yíhé Yuán -- 頤和園
http://www.myvideomedia.de
English see below
Der Sommerpalast, auch Garten der Harmonischen Einheit genannt, liegt an den Westbergen im Nordwesten von Peking.
Der Bau wurde 1153 in der Jin-Dynastie begonnen und 1764 in der Qing-Dynastie vollendet. 1860 wurde der Palast von englischen und französischen Truppen zerstört, um das Kaiserhaus zu demütigen. 1888 veranlasste die Kaiserwitwe Cixi den Wiederaufbau mit Mitteln, die eigentlich dem Wiederaufbau der kaiserlichen Flotte dienen sollten. Während des Boxeraufstands wurde die Anlage erneut zerstört und 1903 wieder aufgebaut.
Neben den Privatgemächern des Guangxu Kaisers und der Kaiserwitwe Cixi beeindruckt der 730 m lange Wandelgang, der mit 8.000 Bildern und Szenen geschmückt ist. Vorbei am Berg der Langlebigkeit erreicht man das Marmorschiff, das im Gegensatz zur kaiserlichen Flotte seinen Ort nie gewechselt hat.
An der Rückseite des Bergs der Langlebigkeit findet man die Reste des Sumeru-Tempels und die alte Suzhou-Straße. Sie wurde als Einkaufstraße ausschließlich für die Kaiserin errichtet, wo sie mit eigens für sie gedrucktem Geld bezahlen und sich die Zeit vertreiben konnte. Heute werden hier Kunsthandwerk und Souvenirs verkauft.
Peking Besucher sollten sich einen Besuch des Sommerpalastes keinesfalls entgehen lassen.
***[en.]
The Summer Palace, also called the Garden of Virtue and Harmony, lies at the Western Hills northwest of Beijing.
Construction began in 1153 during the Jin Dynasty and was completed in 1764 during the Qing Dynasty. In 1860 the Palace was destroyed by English and French troops to humiliate the imperial family. In 1888, the Emperor's widow Cixi began reconstruction of the Palace using resources which should have served to reconstruct the Imperial Fleet. During the Boxer Rebellion, the Palace was once again destroyed and rebuilt in 1903.
In addition to the private residences of the Guangxu Emperor and Cixi the Emperor's widow, the 730m long corridor tracing Chinese history through the ages is particularly impressive with its 8000 pictures and scenes.

Summer Palace - Yíhé Yuán -- 頤和園
http://www.myvideomedia.de
English see below
Der Sommerpalast, auch Garten der Harmonischen Einheit genannt, liegt an den Westbergen im Nordwesten von Peking.
Der Bau wurde 1153 in der Jin-Dynastie begonnen und 1764 in der Qing-Dynastie vollendet. 1860 wurde der Palast von englischen und französischen Truppen zerstört, um das Kaiserhaus zu demütigen. 1888 veranlasste die Kaiserwitwe Cixi den Wiederaufbau mit Mitteln, die eigentlich dem Wiederaufbau der kaiserlichen Flotte dienen sollten. Während des Boxeraufstands wurde die Anlage erneut zerstört und 1903 wieder aufgebaut.
Neben den Privatgemächern des Guangxu Kaisers und der Kaiserwitwe Cixi beeindruckt der 730 m lange Wandelgang, der mit 8.000 Bildern und Szenen geschmückt ist. Vorbei am Berg der Langlebigkeit erreicht man das Marmorschiff, das im Gegensatz zur kaiserlichen Flotte seinen Ort nie gewechselt hat.
An der Rückseite des Bergs der Langlebigkeit findet man die Reste des Sumeru-Tempels und die alte Suzhou-Straße. Sie wurde als Einkaufstraße ausschließlich für die Kaiserin errichtet, wo sie mit eigens für sie gedrucktem Geld bezahlen und sich die Zeit vertreiben konnte. Heute werden hier Kunsthandwerk und Souvenirs verkauft.
Peking Besucher sollten sich einen Besuch des Sommerpalastes keinesfalls entgehen lassen.

The Summer Palace, also called the Garden of Virtue and Harmony, lies at the Western Hills northwest of Beijing.
Construction began in 1153 during the Jin Dynasty and was completed in 1764 during the Qing Dynasty. In 1860 the Palace was destroyed by English and French troops to humiliate the imperial family. In 1888, the Emperor's widow Cixi began reconstruction of the Palace using resources which should have served to reconstruct the Imperial Fleet. During the Boxer Rebellion, the Palace was once again destroyed and rebuilt in 1903.
In addition to the private residences of the Guangxu Emperor and Cixi the Emperor's widow, the 730m long corridor tracing Chinese history through the ages is particularly impressive with its 8000 pictures and scenes. Moving past the Mountain of Longevity, we come to the Marble Boat which, in contrast to the Imperial Fleet, has never changed its position.
On the other side of the Mountain of Longevity, you find the remains of the Sumeru Temple and the old Suzhou Road. Suzhou Road was built as a shopping street exclusively for the Empress where she could pass the time and make purchases with money especially printed for her.

In her introduction to the novel, See writes that Lily, the narrator, was born on April 8, 1824 — "the fifth day of the sixth month of the third year of the Daoguang Emperor's reign". The novel begins in 1903, when Lily is 80 years old. It continues on to tell the story of her life from birth, childhood, marriage, and old age. During her lifetime, Lily lives through the reigns of four emperors of the Qing dynasty: Daoguang; Xianfeng; Tongzhi; and Guangxu. The University of Southern California China historian Charlotte Furth wrote that Western readers think of Chinese women simply as victims and focus on such problems as footbinding and arranged marriages, but that Lisa See's historical novels "follo... -

Sifu Terry Hodgkinson aka "wandering ninja" takes his time and wanders through the Golden Temple in Yunnan province of China.
"I love the harmony this Taoist Temple has, blending in perfectly with nature all around. I've spent days here just wandering around reading, meditating and enjoying the temple's peaceful atmosphere. The Golden Temple has long history with Taoism and Taoist martial arts as well." - Terry
Background:
Golden Temple is located on the Mingfeng Hill, 11 kilometers to the east of Kunming. It is the largest Taoist Tongwa (bronze-tiled) Temple in China and has been preserved almost completely since it was first built. It is commonly known as Jindian.
History
The history of the Golden Temple starts during the Ming Dynasty and the reign of the Emperor Wanli in 1602. At that time the governor of Yunnan Province was a devout Taoist who built this temple to honor the Taoist hero-god Zishi. According to legend, Zishi had a golden palace in the northernmost extremity of the universe. However, the Golden Temple didn't stay in its original place for very long. Just 35 years later, in 1637, the entire original temple was moved to Jizu (Chicken Foot) Mountain in western Yunnan.
Three decades later in 1671 during the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui, the governor of Yunnan Province, built an exact duplicate of the original temple. This temple was undisturbed for almost two hundred years until the Muslim rebellion of 1857, during which the Golden Temple suffered some damages. Emperor Guangxu ordered its complete repair and in 1890, using 250 tons (246 gross ton) of solid bronze, the entire temple was again rebuilt.
Heavenly Gates
The burnished copper gleamed like gold and that is why people named it the Golden Temple (Jindian). Since its last renovation, this beloved copper temple on the top of Mingfeng Hill has been well cared and has become the most famous Taoist shrine in Yunnan Province.
As with most Taoist temples, you approach it by climbing up a mountainside on winding stone steps and pass through a series of "Heavenly Gates." The three Heavenly Gates of the Golden Temple are highly decorated with painted archivolts and carved beams and rafters.
The beautiful walk up the stairs to the temple helps you to leave your mundane cares behind you. You may well find that the closer you get to the Golden Temple, the more peaceful and lighthearted you feel as the extreme beauty of Mingfeng can create a sense of inner harmony to its visitors.
A double-edged sword
Among the interesting artifacts and artistry of the Golden Temple is a double-edged sword with the Big Dipper engraved on it. Legend has it that this sword, which weighs more than 20 kilograms (44 pounds), is the magic sword of Zhen Wu, a Taoist deity, who guards Mingfeng Hill.
Ancient camellia tree
Near the temple is a 600-year-old camellia tree that signals the approach of spring every February by giving hundreds of exquisite blossoms.
Bell Tower
Behind the Golden Temple, there is a three-story-high Bell Tower that was built in 1984 to house a large, 580-year-old copper bell which is three point five meters (16.4 feet) high and weighs an incredible 14 tons (13.7 gross tons).
Natural beauty of Mingfeng Hill
The hillside around the Golden Temple abounds with pine trees, evergreens, hardy cypresses, and a multitude of plants. As far back as the Qing Dynasty, the natural beauty of Mingfeng Hill has caused it to be acclaimed as the Fairyland of Mingfeng.

wn.com/The Taoist Golden Temple In Kunming, China
http://www.TaoJourneys.com
Sifu Terry Hodgkinson aka "wandering ninja" takes his time and wanders through the Golden Temple in Yunnan province of China.
"I love the harmony this Taoist Temple has, blending in perfectly with nature all around. I've spent days here just wandering around reading, meditating and enjoying the temple's peaceful atmosphere. The Golden Temple has long history with Taoism and Taoist martial arts as well." - Terry
Background:
Golden Temple is located on the Mingfeng Hill, 11 kilometers to the east of Kunming. It is the largest Taoist Tongwa (bronze-tiled) Temple in China and has been preserved almost completely since it was first built. It is commonly known as Jindian.
History
The history of the Golden Temple starts during the Ming Dynasty and the reign of the Emperor Wanli in 1602. At that time the governor of Yunnan Province was a devout Taoist who built this temple to honor the Taoist hero-god Zishi. According to legend, Zishi had a golden palace in the northernmost extremity of the universe. However, the Golden Temple didn't stay in its original place for very long. Just 35 years later, in 1637, the entire original temple was moved to Jizu (Chicken Foot) Mountain in western Yunnan.
Three decades later in 1671 during the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui, the governor of Yunnan Province, built an exact duplicate of the original temple. This temple was undisturbed for almost two hundred years until the Muslim rebellion of 1857, during which the Golden Temple suffered some damages. Emperor Guangxu ordered its complete repair and in 1890, using 250 tons (246 gross ton) of solid bronze, the entire temple was again rebuilt.
Heavenly Gates
The burnished copper gleamed like gold and that is why people named it the Golden Temple (Jindian). Since its last renovation, this beloved copper temple on the top of Mingfeng Hill has been well cared and has become the most famous Taoist shrine in Yunnan Province.
As with most Taoist temples, you approach it by climbing up a mountainside on winding stone steps and pass through a series of "Heavenly Gates." The three Heavenly Gates of the Golden Temple are highly decorated with painted archivolts and carved beams and rafters.
The beautiful walk up the stairs to the temple helps you to leave your mundane cares behind you. You may well find that the closer you get to the Golden Temple, the more peaceful and lighthearted you feel as the extreme beauty of Mingfeng can create a sense of inner harmony to its visitors.
A double-edged sword
Among the interesting artifacts and artistry of the Golden Temple is a double-edged sword with the Big Dipper engraved on it. Legend has it that this sword, which weighs more than 20 kilograms (44 pounds), is the magic sword of Zhen Wu, a Taoist deity, who guards Mingfeng Hill.
Ancient camellia tree
Near the temple is a 600-year-old camellia tree that signals the approach of spring every February by giving hundreds of exquisite blossoms.

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is a 2005 novel by Lisa See set in nineteenth century China. In her introduction to the novel, See writes that Lily, the narrator, was born on April 8, 1824 — "the fifth day of the sixth month of the third year of the Daoguang Emperor's reign". The novel begins in 1903, when Lily is 80 years old. It continues on to tell the story of her life from birth, childhood, marriage, and old age. During her lifetime, Lily lives through the reigns of four emperors of the Qing dynasty: Daoguang; Xianfeng; Tongzhi; and Guangxu.
The University of Southern California China historian Charlotte Furth wrote that Western readers think of Chinese women simply as victims and focus on such problems as footbinding and arranged marriages, but that Lisa See's historical novels "follow the best feminist scholarship on women in the Ming-Qing period by tackling these stereotypes." In Snowflower and the Secret Fan and in Peony in Love, See "asks readers to imagine how a few such women might have found voices of their own within, rather than in opposition to, the Confucian social order, and how they found ways to self-fulfillment without flouting their culture’s fundamental values."

Born to a time when women held relative freedom, Wu Zhao was born in the province of Wenshui. From the very beginning the stars were in her favor, providing for her the potential and perfect conditions needed to become the first and only female Emperor of China
The potential to rule was in Wu Zhao's blood from the start. Her parents were both of rich noble families. Her father Wu Shihuo, was a member of the renowned Shanxi aristocratic family. Her mother was Lady Yang, a member of the deposed Sui imperial family.
Early on, Shihuo acknowledged that his daughter had talent. At a young age, Zhao was educated and exposed to the reality of the world. By the tender age of thirteen she could comprehend extensive materials, compose poems and write beautifully with the brush pen.
Before long, the reputation of her beauty and intelligence reached the ears of the Emperor Taizong and at the age of fourteen she was admitted into the royal palace as a Cairen, a concubine of the fifth rank.
Her breeding, talents, and knowledge on history and literature set her apart from the other concubines. Soon she was among those who gained the favor of the Emperor.
Taizong in his fondness of Zhao gave the name Mei which meant "delicate." From then on she was referred to as Wu Meiniang, a name that truly represented her personality.
Ten years after her admission into the royal palace, Emperor Taizong died and it was only customary that his childless concubines be taken to the Buddhist nunnery to live a life of simplicity, including Wu Meiniang.

SOB: Schemes of a Beauty
1.2.5: Episode 1, Part 2/5
=================================
PLOT: In this adaptation, the life story of Empress Dou of Han is told as such. Originally born as a palace maid named Du Yunxi, she turned into a spy under the pseudonym Dou Yifang to spy on Liu Heng, the Prince of Dai, on behalf of Empress Dowager Lu. However, she fell in love with Liu Heng and assisted her husband to claim the throne as his instead. She is portrayed as a woman who is not only beautiful but witty and extremely knowledgeable.
===================================
PS: In reality, Empress Dou really existed. She was a Chinese empress during the Han Dynasty who greatly influenced the reigns of her husband Emperor Wen of Han (Liu Heng) and her son Emperor Jing of Han with her adherence of Taoist philosophy. She therefore contributed greatly to the Rule of Wen and Jing, commonly considered one of the golden ages of Chinese history. The main twist in this adaptation is that she was sent to the Prince of Dai as a spy but in reality she was just an ordinary palace maid who was chosen a gift for the imperial princes.
