I don't know what everyone's impression of Cixi is, but it may all stay on her later dictatorship. From the time she bowed to the government, all power fell into her hands. More importantly, her life has also changed a lot, everything must be the best, and no one can disagree with her. It can be said that it is very strong.
Tanglin was rebuilt
However, such a strong person has also humiliated her in her life, and there are three other things that cannot be mentioned. Let's take a look: the first thing is the reconstruction of Tanglin. The reason for the reconstruction of The Tanglin Tomb is that the wall of this mausoleum is carved with a gecko, and the meaning of the gecko is "shougong".
In ancient times, the emperor's concubines were also to stay by the emperor's side after death. Imagine how someone like Cixi, who already wielded great power, could be willing to submit to others. So this kind of thing in Tanglin is equivalent to humiliating her. Cixi certainly couldn't stand it.
Squat toilet
The second thing is to squat in the toilet. As mentioned earlier, Cixi's life was very luxurious. Even the things that go to the toilet are gold-plated, and they are uniquely made for Cixi. However, in the process of later westward escape, the latrines used by the ancient people were used. As the saying goes: "People have three anxieties". Even if Cixi's golden ass was, she felt disgusted, and she didn't want to use the simplest toilet. However, this can be said to be a great shame for Cixi, and others cannot mention it.
Eat steamed rice
The third thing is to eat steamed rice. This also happened on the way to the west. During that period, Cixi lived the most difficult life, with no one around to serve, and there was no good food to eat, only to eat what others leftover. It can be seen from this that even if Cixi had lived a good life before, she did not consider what she ate in order to survive. However, it was indeed a shameful thing for Cixi.
