Poems on Cixi's birthday are vast.

We all know Empress Dowager Cixi, but few people know that she can write poems. She once wrote such a poem:

Parents are the most real in the world, and blood and tears are integrated into children.

Exhausted, and finally a child. The poor inherit the wind.

This poem seems to be a running account, but the last sentence, "Poor inheritance", has been passed down to this day, and everyone knows it.

The translation of this poem into modern Chinese is:

As children, they cannot empathize with their parents' good intentions, and sometimes they misunderstand their parents' good intentions. But parents will still pay more attention to their children.

We all know that Empress Dowager Cixi is ruthless. The world also sneered at her evaluation.

In fact, the background of Cixi is not very good. His father is just a small personnel secretary with no powerful family background, which shows that the starting point of Cixi is actually not high. But since I was a child, I am competitive and uneasy about the status quo.

So I studied hard to remind myself of my ability and accomplishment, and learned to speak Mandarin and write Chinese characters. In the end, Cixi's efforts paid off. Cixi won the favor of Xianfeng by virtue of her intelligence and eventually became the supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty.

During the decades when Empress Dowager Cixi was in power, she abolished the imperial examination system, established new schools, launched the Westernization Movement, introduced western science and technology on a large scale, and set up modern military industry and private enterprises. There is no denying that the Westernization Movement was indeed a wise pioneering work in that period. Although it ended in failure.

But later, after the Empress Dowager Cixi consolidated her power, she indulged in her life of clothes, makeup, feasting and watching plays. It is precisely because of his extreme enjoyment that he only cared about himself, which led to internal troubles and foreign invasion, and the Qing Dynasty accelerated to weakness. Even so, Empress Dowager Cixi did not begin to pay attention to it, and still indulged in her extravagant life. In the end, after signing many treaties that humiliated the country, the Qing Dynasty failed to survive and went to extinction.

It is such a person who is extremely hedonistic and self-concerned, who actually wrote the classic famous sentence "If you are poor, you will think about change", which no one expected.

It is said that one year the mother of Empress Dowager Cixi was 70 years old. In order to celebrate her mother well, Cixi began to prepare birthday presents early. However, things are changing too fast. The day before the birthday party, there were too many things in the palace, and Empress Dowager Cixi had to deal with government affairs again, so the plan to celebrate her mother's birthday fell through.

In order not to disappoint her mother, Empress Dowager Cixi finally prepared several cars of gifts for her mother, but the most important thing was the poem she wrote herself, which was the 28-word poem mentioned at the beginning. In this way, you can't find a place to go, and you can get it easily. You only wrote this poem in your life. Once written, it will be passed down through the ages, and it will be considered a masterpiece.

It is not difficult to see from the poem that Empress Dowager Cixi is actually a filial person, expressing her gratitude to her parents and her mother through her poems.

Although few people know the first three sentences of this poem now, the last sentence has become a famous sentence, and people often use this sentence to express their gratitude to their parents and their difficulties.
