What is the growth process of Yu Xunling?

Yu Xunling is Delingge's brother. With his good academic background and elegant and handsome temperament, he was chosen as the royal photographer of Cixi. He took many photos handed down from ancient times. He can also be called the first photographer in the Qing Dynasty. The rare handed down photos of Yu Xunling in the picture were taken by Japanese photographers.

Yu Xunling was less than 30 years old when she took pictures of Cixi, but her eyesight was poor. Judging from this photo without glasses, her appearance and temperament definitely belonged to the palace handsome man at that time. For Cixi, who is picky about her appearance, choosing him as a photographer around her does not rule out the reason why she appreciates the temperament of Xunling.

Yu Xunling's Personal Works

Xunling's series of photos of "Western Elysium" for Cixi opened the precedent of China's early "artistic photography (or cosplay)". Schoenberg's sister Delin later married an American, lived abroad and wrote many books about life in the Forbidden City, which was a sensation at that time.

Xunling's photos taken for Cixi were quoted by a large number of books, which made Xunling famous and was recognized as the royal photographer of Cixi. These photos have become precious historical archives, allowing the world to finally see the royal faces and their lives that have ruled them for more than 2,000 years.
