Old photo at the end of the Qing Dynasty: The Eight-Nation Alliance that supervised the Boxer Rebellion, Figure 5 The "Cousin" who was scratched by the Guangxu Emperor
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, because the great powers opened the door of China's closed country, many foreigners came to China, a mysterious country at that time, and took this precious photo, which became an important video material for studying the history of the Qing Dynasty.
Figure 1 shows three poor little beggars, who look all too old, but wear tattered clothes, their bodies are not covered, and their faces, bodies, and hair are dirty and messy, which is heart-wrenching.
Figure 2【
The aristocratic "three-inch golden lotus" contrasts with the heavenly foot
We often hear "three inches of golden lotus", of which "lotus" is "foot binding". And not all "foot binding" can be called three-inch golden lotus, people will evaluate the level of "lotus" according to the size of "foot binding",
Only those less than three inches can be called "golden lotus"
, four inches is
"Silver Lotus"
, greater than four inches is
"Iron Lotus"
finish. At the same time, Jin Lian not only had to be small but also bowed, which was to wrap women's feet in cloth so that their feet could no longer grow, and this bad habit was very harmful to women at that time.
Qing Dynasty women believed that the smaller the foot, the better they had a chance of marrying a good family, so they were madly destroyed.

Oversee the Boxer Rebellion's Eight-Power Coalition
Twenty thousand allied troops attacked the city of Beijing in mid-August 1900,
The Qing army and the Boxers were like paper tigers, and the city of Beijing was soon occupied by foreigners
。 Then the people of Beijing began another round of even more brutal looting. Not only were ordinary people's homes looted, but even many royal palaces were not spared. Even the Imperial Palace, the Yuanmingyuan, the Summer Palace and other places were looted by foreigners, and foreign devils even raped women in the city.
In this photo, the Boxers were taken to the wet market and beheaded, and a foreigner stood behind the people.

The biological mother of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Su Guangualjia Youlan, was cixi's adopted daughter. Later, because of the festival with Concubine Jin, he committed suicide by swallowing opium.
Figure 5【
The "cousin" who was scratched by the Guangxu Emperor
This is The Empress of Guangxu and also Guangxu's cousin, Longyu. She is cixi's niece, her surname is also Yehenara, and her name is Jingfen, so such a marriage can be regarded as a kiss.
In fact, in the eyes of the eunuchs at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Guangxu often quarreled with the "cousin", and the relationship between them has not been very good, and Guangxu even scratched the hair of this "cousin" fiercely
and throw her to the ground. The two of them do not have feelings and many people also have their own opinions,
But the biggest of them is probably that Longyu prefers to listen to Cixi.
