After repeated consideration, she organized the maid-in-waiting to cook a large number of abandoned old bowstrings and process them into silk clothes, saving a lot of money for the palace at once.
The story of Queen Chabi cooking bowstring and weaving silk clothes became a much-told story for a while, and the whole country followed suit.
Even many years later, Ma Huanghou, the wife of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, was deeply inspired by the story of the Queen Chayu, and also carried forward the spirit of thrift and housekeeping, personally leading the ladies-in-waiting to build a loom to weave.
It seems that the virtue of Queen Chabi has a far-reaching influence on later generations.
Kublai Khan admired Confucianism very much, and Zhao Bi, a famous scholar, often listened to him explain Confucianism. Although Kublai Khan often gave him food and clothes, the thrifty Queen Chayu simply sewed a Mongolian robe for the Confucian scholar Zhao Bi, and after putting it on, she carefully revised it when she saw something inappropriate. This little gesture of Queen Chabi sewed clothes, people's hearts and the world.
This virtue of thrift is passed down from generation to generation. Since ancient times, countless celebrities have insisted on frugality and have been praised by future generations.
