Royal descendant criticises popular period dramas 11 Sep – The last Chinese Emperor's cousin, Aisin Gioro Puyang, recently expressed her dissatisfaction with Chinese period dramas in recent years, which she claimed have distorted history. As reported on ECNS News, the 60-year-old, who is a descendant of the Imperial Aisin Gioro clan that ruled during China's Qing Dynasty, recently appeared at a forum about Puyi studies, and said that TV series should respect history instead of distorting the facts for dramatic effect. Using examples of two popular series, "Return of the Princess Pearl" and "Legend of Zhen Huan", Puyong said, "The emperor in the series ["Legend of Zhen Huan"] is obsessed with beauty and doesn't care much about state affairs." "It also gave a false representation of the royal concubine life in the harem," she said. "Thus, it failed to educate youth about history." Puyang, who spends most of her life abroad, is the 11th granddaughter of Nurhaci, the founding father of the Qing Dynasty. She is also the cousin of the last emperor of China, Puyi. In related news, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is scheduled for release in the United States early next year. sg.entertainment.yahoo.com/news/royal-descendant-criticises-popular-period-dramas-062300036.htmlI wonder will she will criticises ATV dynasty which show Emperor Yongzheng killed his dad and Qianlong a Han In Romance of the Book & Sword? wuxiasociety.freeforums.net/thread/176/dynasty-ii-1980-rtv

Actually the story of Yongzheng killed his father and changed his father's will is an legend that has been spread for many generations. Some people really believed it's true. For Qianlong...well, he's known as a Qing emperor who was soft toward the Han, that again some people suspected that he's a Han descendant

"It also gave a false representation of the royal concubine life in the harem," she said. "Thus, it failed to educate youth about history." Puyang, who spends most of her life abroad, is the 11th granddaughter of Nurhaci, the founding father of the Qing Dynasty. She is also the cousin of the last emperor of China, Puyi. I would agree that TV serials do not give a real representation of the life of a concubine within the red walls of the forbidden city. However, I believe similar events depicted in the series had taken place in history. Meanwhile, I am interested in how Puyang, "who spends most of her life abroad" is familiar with the goings on in the Imperial Palace. How much time did she spend in there? She was the cousin to PuYi, so she is a Princess, not a concubine. As Princess her position is secured - it is only a matter of how much influence she has inside the Palace (if she was in the Palace). The concubines have to fight tooth and nail to get noticed by the Emperor. It is not the same life. Similar, perhaps, but not the same.
