Why did Cixi write the poem "Poor Inherit the Wind"?

When it comes to Cixi, people often think of the following picture, an old lady with cold eyes. In fact, Cixi's mother was not born like this. When she was born, she was either a white and clean baby girl, a black and thin baby girl, or ... in short, a baby girl. Decades of vicissitudes of life and traces of time have honed her into the following appearance.

/kloc-Cixi, 0/7 years old, was chosen to serve the emperor in the palace because she was Manchu and had a good appearance. 17 years old is not too old, only equivalent to a little girl in senior three now. Because my father is just a pen paste type of the official department, and he is a small official responsible for some copying work. Cixi was elected to the palace only because of her beauty, so there was no ceremony. Carrying a little baggage, she pushed open a corner of the palace gate, made some simple registration, and entered the life of the palace gate as deep as the sea.

Cixi's power in the latter half of her life spread all over the world, but for her family, Cixi's life was missing. In the second year of entering the palace, 18-year-old Cixi's father died. At that time, Cixi was only a junior concubine and was not qualified to go out to worship. When she received the letter from home, she could only secretly cry. The 26-year-old Cixi lost her husband and became Empress Dowager Cixi. At the age of 40, the only son died of illness, and among the remaining relatives, only the mother was alive.

Although you are the queen mother and have the power to rule the world, the tall palace wall still blocks the family relationship, and the only mother can't always be filial in front of the bed when she is sick. Empress Dowager Cixi's mother, Fu Cha, was 60 years old, but Cixi was unable to attend, but she prepared many congratulatory gifts and a mounted calligraphy scroll for the chamberlain to send to the birthday ceremony. At the scene, the family opened the scroll presented by Empress Dowager Cixi. It was a poem written by Empress Dowager Cixi: "inherit the wind is the truest, tears and blood dissolve in children. Hard work will eventually become a child, poor Chengfeng! "

Cixi, who lost her father as a teenager, her husband as a teenager and her son as a middle-aged woman, naturally has different feelings for her mother's affection and birthday gifts. The word "poor" in the poem "Poor is thinking about change" here is not the usual sad meaning, but the meaning worthy of praise. It is a very admirable thing for parents to really raise their children. Cixi, who treats her political opponents with an iron fist, also has her own tenderness for her family.

Finally, by way of digression, I found that Cixi's mother was actually Fu Cha. Surprisingly, Cixi's mother is a member of Fu Heng and Fu Kang 'an.
