The Forbidden City, the symbolic and actual centre of power of the Qing
Empire, was crowded with animals. This chapter focuses on elephants, a
crucial part of imperial ceremonial processions. As performers in various
imperial ritual ceremonies from the early Qing to almost the end of the
dynasty, elephants exemplified how the palace machine of performative
emperorship domesticated and imperialized wild animals, made them
subject to imperial rule and metaphoric paragons of imperial virtue.
