养心殿内殿究探

On the Adytum of Yangxin Dian

清宫之中,除广储司、造办处、圆明园库房外,养心殿还设立有专门服务于皇帝的养心殿内殿库。由于档案的缺失,养心殿内殿库长期不为人知。养心殿内殿库的管理人员主要是宫中太监,库中存储物品是御用之物,都是经过皇帝御览、挑选的珍稀、贵重物品。为了保证内殿库藏,其物品来源具有多样性。内殿物品在皇帝的统筹下,主要是御用、赏赐、制作礼器等。养心殿内殿是宫中极为特殊的存在,它因皇帝而设,在皇帝的生活中发挥了重要的作用。

Besides the Storage Department, Imperial Workshops and Old Summer Palace, the Emperor also set up a special storehouse to service himself in Yangxin Dian in the Qing palace. The storehouse was named "Adytum" and the palace eunuchs took charge of it. The collections of the storage were valuable and all selected by the emperor. Moreover, the sources of goods were many and varied. As a result, most goods were mainly used by the emperors and some reward or made sacrificial vessels. All in all, the adytum which was for the emperor was very special and played an important role in the emperor’s life.
