The Empress was at the forefront of every movement of a reformative character during her reign, and the nature of her rule could only be judged by the nature of the period.
It is generally believed that Cixi was a Manchurian with a blue flag, and the Jade Tablet clearly recorded that she was "the daughter of Huizheng of the Yehenara clan". According to the oral accounts of Yehenara Genzheng, Cixi was born in The West Fourth Arch building of Beijing, which is now Peicai Hutong.

The continuous enrichment of supporting materials has further enhanced Liu Qi's confidence, and the relevant works have also been reported in the news. In April 2012, at the "Fifty Years seminar on Socialist Literature and Art of the Republic" hosted by the Chinese Academy of Arts of the Ministry of Culture, Liu Qi's "Unveiling the Mystery of Cixi's Childhood" won the first prize. The 7,000-word essay focuses on cixi's life.

Wait for the next use.
