This object should be the badge on Pu Yi’s wedding ceremony. In the winter of 1908, Puyi, who was only three years old, ascended the throne under the arrangement of Empress Dowager Cixi, and the title was Xuantong. In the third year of Xuantong’s reign (1912), during the storm of the 1911 Revolution, Puyi, who was six years old, abdicated and became Emperor Xun. However, he still lived as a small court in the inner court of the Forbidden City, with daily rituals as before. In December 1922, Puyi and Wanrong held a grand wedding ceremony. Guests attending the wedding each hang a Double Happiness brand badge on their chest to gain access control, ensuring a safe and orderly wedding, while also highlighting the festive and luxurious atmosphere of the wedding
