Thank you very much for viewing. Length: Approximately 110cm, Width: Approximately 26.5cm This item is a reproduction of a folded book (accordion fold) historical document, based on the original memorial (奏折, sōsetsu) documents used in the Qing Dynasty officialdom of China. The content reproduces a local official's petition to the Emperor, citing his elderly mother's age and illness, as well as his own poor health, as reasons for the difficulty in continuing his duties and the need to return home for rest and recuperation, requesting imperial favor and special consideration. The text contains many set phrases specific to Qing Dynasty memorials, such as "奉為老母" (for my elderly mother), "病患常近" (illness is always near), "精力不支" (lack of energy), and "伏乞皇上天恩" (humbly beg for the Emperor's grace), which strongly reflect the **filial piety (care for parents)** and absolute loyalty and respect for the Emperor in the official system of the time. Furthermore, the composition and tone of the writing allow one to understand the actual format, wording, and ideological background of Qing Dynasty official documents, making it a valuable resource for the study of Chinese history, Qing Dynasty political history, and classical Chinese documents. The paper reproduces red seals and red writing, visually conveying the official nature and ceremonial character of the document. Combined with the folded book format, it is a work that combines both documentary and aesthetic value. It is recommended not only as a research material for ancient document styles but also for display, educational purposes, collection, and historical interior decoration. A memorial (奏折, sōsetsu) is a formal document in which officials submit opinions and reports to the Emperor, and it is a valuable record that allows one to understand a part of the state administration and foreign policy of the time. * This product is a reproduction (replica) **based on the content of Qing Dynasty documents.** * It is not an original or actual official document. * This product is intended for historical research, appreciation, display, and documentary purposes.
