As the supreme ruler of the late Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi was disgusted by the common people, because she disregarded the interests of the country and the people, used half of the annual income of the Qing government to maintain her luxurious life, and embezzled military funds to celebrate her birthday. However, it is undeniable that Empress Dowager Cixi was a very attractive woman in that era, otherwise she would not have been favored by the Xianfeng Emperor.
Cixi is a very confident and loving woman. She often said that the court officials regarded her as a beauty, that is, she used to be the standard of beauty in the palace. Therefore, women are learning her dress and makeup. How beautiful was Cixi when she was young? Let's look at the picture of her fifth granddaughter, because the two are exactly the same, and this is what Empress Dowager Cixi looked like when she was young.
In cixi's later years, photography technology spread to China. Cixi was so fond of taking pictures that many of her later photographs still circulate today. Many people think that the Cixi in the photo looks despicable and ruthless, without any beautiful and gentle appearance. In fact, she was wrongly blamed for making black and white photos ugly in an era when there were no photo modifications or plastic surgery.
At that time, the image of Empress Dowager Cixi was already very prominent. Her fifth granddaughter looks very similar to hers, and there were producers who wanted her to play Empress Dowager Cixi in a TV series, but she was rejected because she did not like acting, because she wanted to devote all her energy to painting and calligraphy. Although she is now 50 years old, she is still well maintained and has the shadow of Empress Dowager Cixi.
