There was a period of the darkest period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the actual ruler was not actually the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but a woman, she was the famous Empress Dowager Cixi. The evaluation of this woman's later life is still quite contradictory; most friends think that this woman controlled the government at the end of the Qing Dynasty, did a lot of bad things, and finally fled to Xi'an, let the Eight-Power Alliance invade the city of Beijing, snatched a lot of cultural relics and burned Yuanming; it was a culprit. But there are also a small number of people who think that this woman is still capable of handling state affairs, and that the suppression of one emperor and the suppression of two emperors is enough to show that this woman is unusual.
In fact, this woman was widowed from a very young age, from a noble concubine to an empress, and also used a plan to eliminate the eight ministers who wanted to rule over her, and used a bitter meat trick to move another Empress Dowager Ci'an to burn the emperor's holy will to balance her, and finally let this empress dowager die silently, and she alone controlled the entire political power. In the period before she came to power, the country was still peaceful, and the people lived in peace. But later, as she grew older, she also liked a luxurious life more and more, and the waste became more and more serious, with tens of thousands of taels of silver per meal, bathing with pearl milk, and even squandering anti-military expenses. It is also true that this dynasty has weakened more and more in this way.
It is precisely because she lived a luxurious life in the later period and was very bad for the emperor, so the evaluation of him in history was particularly low, and many people called her a demon woman. And at that time, most of the photos she left behind were taken when she was older, although she was younger than the old people of the same age, but after all, the age was there, and it was not as beautiful as when she was young, so many people said that Cixi was actually an ugly-looking woman.
Modern technology is getting more and more sophisticated, so some friends have made cixi's photos technically processed and restored to the appearance of eighteen years old, which is really surprising to see it again. Many people who have seen the photos have said that this appearance value has simply reached the realm of disaster for the country and the people!
It turned out that Cixi in the photo had an oval goose egg face, which was the most perfect face shape in ancient times, not thin or fat, but also a special kind of appearance. Although the eyes are not the popular double eyelid eyes, the long Dan phoenix eyes, although they are single eyelids, are full of classical beauty. The facial features are exquisite and still have a sense of elegance, which makes people feel very beautiful at a glance. Such a beautiful face is no wonder that even if the emperor knew that she was a girl from the Yehenara family, he made her a noble concubine and was very pampered.
