关于海外所藏清代太庙玉册宝的几点考证

Research on The Overseas Imperial Memorial Jade Books and Jade Seals of The Qing Court

故宫博物院收藏有144件原藏太庙的清代帝后谥册宝,但有若干缺失,且部分册宝刻工不精细,与它们原应所属时代的工艺特点存在不同程度的差距。近年来,笔者在海外陆续发现了自太庙流出的玉册宝,并对相关档案材料进行了梳理,认为太庙原藏部分册宝曾于八国联军侵华期间流失,故宫博物院现藏册宝有相当部分实为宣统年间补制。

A total of 144 memorial jade books and jade seals dedicated to the deceased emperors and empresses of the Qing Dynasty and used to be housed in the Imperial Ancestral Temple are now collected in The Palace Museum, but some are partly incomplete, some are not fine enough to meet the required craftsmanship of that time. The research of the jade books and seals being found overseas suggests that they scattered and disappeared during the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces into China, and quite a number of the collected items in the Palace Museum were reproduced for supplementary during the years of Xuantongs (宣统)reign (1908-1911).
