The Chinese Imperial Marriage at Pekin
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the grandeur and cultural significance of a royal wedding in 19th-century China. The image, created by Felix Regamey, beautifully captures the Midnight Procession during this momentous occasion. Intricately detailed, the engraving showcases the opulent ceremonial procession through the streets of Pekin (now Beijing). As we gaze upon it, our eyes are drawn to tablets adorned with titles of the bride, symbolizing her elevated status within society. These tablets serve as a visual reminder of the importance placed on lineage and hierarchy in Chinese culture. The artist's skillful rendering transports us into this sacred event where tradition meets celebration. We witness an array of vibrant colors and ornate attire worn by participants who play their roles with utmost grace and dignity. The bride herself remains veiled, adding an air of mystery to her identity while emphasizing her role as she embarks on this new chapter as Empress Xiaozheyi. This engraving not only offers us a glimpse into one specific imperial marriage but also serves as a window into Chinese history and customs surrounding weddings during that era. It reminds us of how deeply rooted traditions can shape societal events and highlights the beauty found within different cultures around the world. As we admire "The Chinese Imperial Marriage at Pekin" we are reminded that love knows no boundaries – transcending time, geography, and culture – making every wedding ceremony a holy sacrament
