There is a blood bond between parents and children. In a family, parents are closer because of the birth of a new life. On the other hand, children love the world more because of their parents' love. Therefore, as the saying goes, parents can't live without their children. More precisely, both sides can't live without each other. But family happiness often appears in ordinary people's homes, and the emperor's feelings never seem shallow. But what I didn't expect was that "The Wind after Poverty" actually came from Cixi.
Cixi's only poem in this life
Cixi's only poem in her life is the one mentioned above, and now it is "Poverty Makes Change" sung from generation to generation. But many people think that this sentence was written by a famous person, not by Cixi.
In the impression of most people, Cixi is a woman who is vigorous and effective and has some means. Just from the numerous concubines, we can see that she is by no means a lamb to be slaughtered. In addition, after her "Listening to Politics", people don't think about warmth.
Actually, other than that. Cixi is just a woman. She may have hung down her parents' knees when she was a child, or she may have had an ignorant love for her husband when she grew up in the palace. Needless to say, after she 10 gave birth to her son and raised him, which naturally triggered the original softhearted. Therefore, this poem by Cixi is absolutely full of all the warmth in her heart.
From the first sentence, "parents are the truest in the world, and tears and blood dissolve into children." Straight to the point, it expresses the kindness of parents to their children, and it is true. The only feelings in the world are affection and love, which is the most sincere. But for love, there are also cases where "disaster comes from the mouth and flies separately". In other words, life can only be a "priceless treasure, a rare lover."
But affection is different, it is a feeling that you don't have to look for it, and you can feel it at your fingertips. As Cixi said, in this world, only parents' feelings for their children are the most sincere and do not contain any selfishness. After all, the child was once a piece of meat on the mother. After they were born, they grew up with laughter.
The second sentence, "Exhausting one's heart will eventually be a child, and cherishing the wind", seems to be the sublimation of the first sentence. A child who is almost accomplished with his own flesh and blood will eventually try his best to plan his future. That's what the so-called "centenarians always worry about ninety-nine" means. When babbling, teach him with your heart and hope that he has a good character. When studying, I hope he will study hard and make a difference. Speaking of work, I hope he will work well and not be too tired. Finally, when he is old enough to get married and have children, he hopes that he can get a virtuous wife and give birth to a healthy child.
But after that? All precautions are for children, and I really should have answered the sentence "Poverty spreads the wind". But this sentence has another meaning, that is, children may not understand parents' concerns, and parents will only blame a few words at most and will not say more harsh words. But after all, this will make the original efforts go to waste. After the anger has passed, parents will think of other ways to make their children feel neither opposed nor good for him. This is also the painstaking efforts of parents, which is even more pitiful. The child could have accepted it with confidence, but in order not to make him sad, he became timid and humble.
It can be said that this poem of Cixi is neither neat nor figurative. Even if it is read through, it does not make people feel bright. If anything, style and charm. Not even, but nevertheless, it can be circulated for thousands of years, not because of her high status and great power, but mainly because of the visual problems of Cixi's poem. The words in the poem are carefully chosen, as if from a mother's perspective, clearly writing the psychological course of motherhood, which makes people lament the profound and broad love of their parents.
The differences between Cixi and her own poems.
For this poem of Cixi, it is more tender, and it is even unimaginable that this poem can first come from her mouth. The retrospective reason must have something to do with her life experience.
When she first entered the palace, Cixi was just a little concubine. Fortunately, she gave birth to the only son of Emperor Xianfeng. According to the ancient truth, the prince can inherit him in the future. In the future, Cixi's honor was inexhaustible because of her son. However, her honor is obviously not limited to her son's share, and she can also fight for it herself.
Later, Emperor Xianfeng was weak and asked Cixi to participate in some political affairs for him. However, according to the historical records of various dynasties, harem women are generally not allowed to interfere in state affairs, and it is easy to make state affairs biased because of their children's extramarital affairs. But even if the court minister complained about this kind of thing, it would not affect the king's idea. What's more, at that time, foreign countries had already begun to tentatively attack the motherland. Under the internal and external troubles, Cixi also fled the capital with Emperor Xianfeng for a period of time.
After the calm, Emperor Xianfeng died at this time. After returning to Beijing, he immediately established the only prince to succeed to the throne to stabilize the people's hearts. But since ancient times, people who covet power are not only royalty, but even ministers who have worked hard believe that they have the ability to succeed. As a result, Gu Ming, a former minister, hoped to control state affairs, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Cixi, and a vigorous coup began. From this coup, Cixi regained the initiative with tough political skills and solved eight ministers one by one. From then on, I began to listen to politics.
At this time, Cixi and her son, later emperor Tongzhi, began to have bad blood, mainly because Cixi was unwilling to delegate power to her son. What's more, an emperor, even if he has a deep friendship with his mother, doesn't want her to tell him what to do. So you can often see tit-for-tat between mother and son. No wonder people don't think this poem was written by Cixi.
The external evaluation of Cixi.
In fact, Cixi's life story goes far beyond this. Reform Movement of 1898, Westernization Movement, etc. It is only recorded in history, but it is not recorded. If we can learn from other people's historical materials, we can know that this person is more profound. The feeling given to her by the outside world has always been the pursuit of power and prosperity, and the famous Yuanmingyuan was not built because of her enjoyment. However, such an overbearing person will write "poverty is the wind of inheriting the family", which is enough to show that power and wealth may be what she has been pursuing, but she will suffer too much and be tired, just wanting to feel the happiness of ordinary people.
