1835, Empress Dowager Cixi was born in an ordinary bureaucratic family. Compared with the dignitaries in Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi's position at that time was very humble. In A.D. 1852, according to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, officials wanted to send their daughters to the emperor, and this is how Cixi entered the palace. However, there is no huge power behind Cixi, and she is not very beautiful, so when she first entered the palace, Cixi did not get any good reward. Even after the death of the emperor, Cixi was just an ordinary concubine, and Ci 'an, who entered the palace with her at the same time, was already a queen.
You know, in ancient times, people attached great importance to fertility, and Cixi could not be compared with Ci 'an at all, but Cixi did not eat for free. 186 1 year, the emperor died. At this time, Cixi and Prince Gong directly staged a coup together, which led to the death of Ci 'an, and Cixi gained supreme rights. However, after Cixi came to power, she not only did not make great efforts to develop the country, but tried her best to enjoy herself, and her daily life was extremely eroded. According to records, Cixi must have 108 dishes every time she eats, and she can't repeat them every time. In this way, even if the country is rich, there will always be a day when Cixi will be poor.
Of course, it is not that Cixi is useless. She also made a contribution. The two best things Cixi did in her life were to support two political reforms. One is the Westernization Movement, and the other is the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty. Although the two results ended in failure, it was a good start for the later reform. Moreover, the official study abroad in the Qing Dynasty also brought a large number of talents to our country.
Cixi's hobby, it is difficult for people to understand why a person with the highest power in the world likes reading books. He likes reading Li Bai's poems almost to a morbid degree. Cixi even spends a lot of time writing Li Bai's poems and songs every day, and even likes to let people around her read Li Bai's poems and songs as long as she is free.
Although Cixi loves poetry, it doesn't mean that Cixi writes poetry just as well. After all, as I said before, Cixi's background is not good, and it is great to keep her from being hungry, let alone spend money to train her. So Cixi wanted to write poetry, but she didn't have the strength. But as a member of the royal family, in fact, many people are very literary, and Cixi is an exception. Just like Emperor Qianlong, the amount of poems he wrote in his life can be said to be terrible, reaching more than 20,000. Basically, in his life, he wrote a poem on average every day. Perhaps it is for this reason that Cixi is also exercising her ability to write poems every day.
1877, which happened to be the 70th birthday of Cixi's mother. It stands to reason that Cixi, as a child, should go to celebrate her birthday. Helpless with government affairs, Cixi wanted to leave, but she couldn't let go. So Cixi simply wrote a poem and then put some valuable gifts on it, which is the only poem handed down by Cixi. What is this poem? "inherit the wind is the most true, their tears and blood are integrated into the child's body, and they try their best to be children. Poverty inherits the wind. "
Perhaps compared with a great writer like Li Bai, Cixi's poems seem out of control, and there are not many implications in them. But as long as we appreciate it with our heart, we will find that it is full of a child's deepest gratitude to his parents. Especially the last sentence of the poem perfectly points out the life of parents. Aren't they all tired for the children? Because of this, many people know the last sentence.
