Jiutian Gongjue's Legend of Jiutian Gongjue
Regarding the historical life of Jiutian Gongjue, the clearest record in the literature occurred in the decade of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, namely 187 1:

According to legend, Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty was weak and childless. 1855, Iman (later Empress Dowager Cixi), the favorite of Emperor Xianfeng, was beaming. The Forbidden City was peaceful and the imperial court was happy. At first, Guifei Yi unfortunately suffered from "blood syndrome" (non-physiological hemorrhagic disease, gynecological diseases are generally habitual abortion), and her body weakened day by day, and the treatment of the imperial doctor failed. She sought medical treatment everywhere, but the treatment was still ineffective. Seeing that the dragon fetus was in danger, Xianfeng was anxious to lie on his sickbed. Chen Zonggui, then assistant minister of the household department, was from Dong 'e, Shandong Province. He risked his life and recommended Dong 'e Ejiao to Xianfeng Emperor. Yi Guifei boiled Dong 'e tribute donkey-hide gelatin into juice, which saved the fetal gas, cured the "blood syndrome" and made Xianfeng hold his only son (later Tongzhi Emperor). Emperor Xianfeng was overjoyed. He named Dong 'e Ejiao "Gongjiao" (later generations called it "Jiutian Gongjiao" according to the technological characteristics) and gave Dong 'e Ejiao people three kinds of gifts: one was the yellow coat of the fourth-grade official uniform, the other was folded when entering the palace, and the third was the word "Fu" for Dong 'e Ejiao people to fold into the palace and present Ejiao to the emperor. 187 1 year, that is, the tenth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, Emperor Tongzhi specially sent four imperial envoys to Dong 'e County to supervise the purchase of pure black healthy donkeys, graze them on Lion's Ear Mountain in winter, take skins and dig wells to boil the glue, and supervise the production of "Nine-day craft glue" on the spot, and call it "Nine-day tribute glue". It was sent to the capital and presented to the imperial court ... This is the first time that the emperor sent a high official to the scene to supervise the production since Ejiao officially became a tribute in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 386-534).

Since then, Empress Dowager Cixi has specially painted Dong 'agong rubber people and insisted on taking Ejiao for health until she died at the age of 74. After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, she was awarded a 25-word posthumous title (filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety).

Today, the special imperial statue of Empress Dowager Cixi and the passbook of that year are in China Ejiao Museum (Dong 'e County). At that time, the passbook was made of sheepskin and composed of 30% folds, embroidered with gold words. The text is 100 words, which is located in the middle fold, and the four characters of "long life" and "death date" are embroidered on the left and right folds respectively.
