《雍正帝观花行乐图》与雍正继位之谜

Painting of the Yongzheng Emperor Viewing Blossoms and Enjoying his Leisure(Yongzheng Di Guanhua Xingle Tu)and the Mystery of the Yongzheng Emperor's Accession to the Throne

本文从服饰、礼仪制度入手,解读所谓《雍正帝观花行乐图》的内容和年代,揭示其当为与雍乾继位有重要关系的"牡丹台纪恩图"。由此重新审视雍正继位问题,指出:少年弘历是雍正争取皇位的重要筹码;雍乾两帝在康熙传位问题上,都宣传康熙传位于他们父子俩,即慎选雍正、默定乾隆。论文还通过对相关史料的分析,对雍正继位疑案和其秘密建储等问题提出作者的看法。

Examining the costumes and ceremonial practices in their reading of the content and period of the painting titled Yongzheng xingle tu(The Yongzheng Emperor at leisure),the authors reveal that this work is closely connected with the painting Mudan Tai Ji'en Tu which is of relevance for the question of the accession to the throne of the Yongzheng Emperor. The authors re-examine the mystery of the accession and reveal that the actions of the young Qianlong Emperor were often an important measure of how the Yongzheng Emperor came to assume the throne.On the question of how the Kangxi Emperor would decide the succession, the authors point out that the Yongzheng and Qianlong Emperors,both father and son,made propaganda stressing that they inherited the throne from Kangxi,and the careful selection of Yongzheng was a tacit affirmation of Qianlong.The authors examine relevant historical documents and present their own views on the mystery of Yongzheng's accession and the secret nomination of an heir-apparent.
