Chinese Court Returns to Pekin After Flight of Archway
Pekin Jan 7 The imperial cortege entered the Forbidden City at 1 20 pm to a brilliant spectacle. The procession featured a thousand nobles on caparisoned horses, the Emperor and Empress Dowager in yellow chairs, and hundreds of banners. Foreign observers crowded the Chien gate as the Emperor and Dowager entered the temple to burn incense. The scene contrasted with old regime practices as foreigners viewed the royal return. Guards and locals lined the four mile route amid a keen wind carrying scent of salt from allied bombardment. The display drew praise and sharp reaction, signaling a break from former deification of Chinese royalty. The Dowager Empress bowed to foreigners as she emerged from the temple, then rejoined the procession. The imperial train departed after a ceremonial stop at the Temple of God of War and Goddess of Mercy, with foreign officials and photographers present.
