Chinese Qing Dynasty Palace Doorplate Set: Add a touch of imperial Chinese ambiance

Celebrating the Lunar New Year~ While decorating with Spring Festival couplets and scrolls, a delightful "Imperial Kitchen" kitchen sticker arrived, prompting me to create a complete set~ Hahahahahahaha

I've crafted seven palace nameplates corresponding to different rooms, namely: Hall of Supreme Harmony, Qianqing Palace, Yikun Palace, Shoukang Palace, Yuqing Palace, Imperial Kitchen, and Imperial Study. (Historical context provided at the end)

• Requires a multi-color AMS filament supply system
• Requires self-provided adhesive for seamless application to doors
• Available in two sizes: larger size fits A1/P1/X1, smaller size (85% scale) fits A1mini
• Due to the wide dimensions of the nameplates, thorough cleaning of the steel sheet and application of LAC adhesive is strongly recommended before printing (especially during winter, PLA is highly prone to warping, leading to immediate failure!)

————Correspondence between Palaces and Modern Rooms and their Historical Significance————

1. Hall of Supreme Harmony (Living Room)

   During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this grand hall hosted significant imperial ceremonies and audiences. Coronation ceremonies, imperial weddings, empress enthronements, and declarations of war all took place here. The emperor, enthroned, received homage from officials, underscoring the supreme imperial authority.

2. Qianqing Palace (Master Bedroom)

   In the Ming and early Qing dynasties, Qianqing Palace served as the emperor's sleeping quarters and where he handled daily affairs of state. Here, he received ministers, reviewed memorials, and exercised his imperial power.

3. Yikun Palace (Second Bedroom)

   Served as the residence for imperial concubines during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Empress Dowager Cixi, for instance, resided here during the reign of Emperor Xianfeng. Connected to the Chuxiu Palace via the Tihe Hall, Empress Dowager Cixi primarily used the Chuxiu Palace as her residence, while Yikun Palace became a venue for her to manage court affairs and receive concubines and ladies-in-waiting.

4. Shoukang Palace (Senior's Room)

   Primarily housed imperial grandmothers, aunts, and other senior members of the imperial family. The imperial grandmothers enjoyed their later years here, receiving visits and paying respects from the emperor and concubines, signifying an important aspect of filial piety within the palace.

5. Yuqing Palace (Children's Room)

   Served as the residence and study for imperial princes. Many princes lived and received education here, studying Confucian classics, literature, and martial arts such as archery and horsemanship. This prepared them for future political roles and responsibilities within the imperial court. Yuqing Palace witnessed the upbringing of numerous princes, playing a vital role in the preservation of royal culture and the cultivation of political talent.

6. Imperial Kitchen (Kitchen)

   Prepared food for the emperor, empress, princes, princesses, and other members of the imperial household. The kitchen created exquisite dishes, pastries, and beverages tailored to the varying needs and status of each individual.

7. Imperial Study (Study/Office)

   Served as the educational institution for Qing Dynasty princes. The curriculum included Confucian classics, history, literature, poetry, calligraphy and painting, as well as Manchu, Mongolian, and Han Chinese languages, along with military skills such as archery and weaponry. The aim was to cultivate imperial heirs suitable for governance, preparing them to uphold order and manage the state. The tutors in the Imperial Study were often erudite and virtuous officials who provided strict education and guidance.
