This sentence was indeed said by Cixi, and it was inscribed by Cixi himself on the 70th birthday of Cixi’s mother. At that time, Cixi did not attend her mother's birthday banquet due to some matters at court, so she wrote a piece of calligraphy and sent it to her. The original sentence of this famous saying is: The truest love between parents in the world is blended with tears and blood. Sons and daughters. He worked so hard to become a son, and pitied the hearts of parents all over the world.
When we look at Cixi's life, it is not difficult to find that Cixi actually had a particularly rich life. Not only did she experience the four kings of Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, and Guangxu at the same time, but she also launched two coups and listened to politics behind the curtain three times. Among all the women in ancient times, it can be said that only the female emperor Wu Zetian of the generation can compare with her.
But she is not only a strong woman with tough methods, but also a child who is particularly filial to her parents. According to relevant historical records, in the second year of Guangxu's reign, Cixi's mother reached her seventieth birthday. Unfortunately, foreign envoys came to China at this time, so Cixi was absent from her mother's birthday banquet. Although Cixi could not She was present at the scene in person, but she wrote a big "birthday" character and gave it to her mother. Below the word "birthday" was written "The love between parents is the most true in the world, and the tears and blood blend into the body of their children." After working so hard to become a son, how pitiful are the hearts of parents in the world? This famous saying.
From our current perspective, there is nothing clever about this poem, but it expresses the simplest emotions in the world. At the same time, this poem also expresses Cixi's gratitude to her mother. No matter how cruel Cixi is in history books, from this poem we can still see that Cixi is actually a very filial woman.
To sum up, it is not difficult to find that although Cixi was vigorous and resolute in the court, in terms of treating her family, we can still see that she was actually just an ordinary woman who knew how to be filial to her parents. .
