In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, China degenerated into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. It is precisely because empress dowager Cixi's greed for life and fear of death has caused the fall of our country. Even if Empress Dowager Cixi is disgusted by most people, she also has an unknown side. Regardless of everything, Cixi's talent is relatively outstanding.
But in fact, the first half of Empress Dowager Cixi's life can also be regarded as a talented woman, and the poem "Exhausting her efforts to become a son, poor parents in the world" came from her. She wrote only this poem in her life, but it was compiled into the primary school textbook, and the classic sentences in it are now even more well-known.
Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea
Since we studied history, we have always called her Empress Dowager Cixi, and what kind of life did she have? It is reported that Empress Dowager Cixi was born in the Manchurian Banner of yehenara, her mother was also a woman from the Manchurian nobility, and her father was a high-ranking official of the dynasty. A woman born in such a family was destined to make her life extraordinary.
When the Xianfeng Emperor held a draft, Empress Dowager Cixi participated. After much screening, Empress Dowager Cixi became a showgirl. But her ambition is not limited to being just an ordinary showgirl. After all, in the harem, the emperor's favor is very important.
Empress Dowager Cixi was also well aware of this, so after she entered the palace, she tried every means to please the emperor. Within a few years, Empress Dowager Cixi was favored by the Xianfeng Emperor, but this was only a simple favor. Why she eventually became the famous "Empress Dowager Cixi" was actually due to the fact that she gave birth to his first son for the Xianfeng Emperor, that is, the Tongzhi Emperor, Ai Xin Jueluo Zaichun.
After the death of the Xianfeng Emperor, the sons of the Yehenara clan naturally inherited the throne. As a mother, Yehenara became Empress Dowager Cixi. At this time, Empress Dowager Cixi's ambitions were gradually exposed, and he wanted to seize the rights of her son. Contacting other princes and Empress Dowager Ci'an launched a coup d'état, and from this time on, the Tongzhi Emperor was emptied. Empress Dowager Cixi also officially appeared on the stage of history, and she was bent on consolidating her position by seeking power.
Pity the hearts of parents in the world
Empress Dowager Cixi, who was in a high position, did not forget her mother, and for her family, Empress Dowager Cixi was undoubtedly qualified. After Empress Dowager Cixi's father died of illness, she raised her father's flag up to the yellow flag. When she first entered the palace, the young Empress Dowager Cixi missed her mother very much, but it was very difficult to leave the palace after entering the palace, and she could only wait for her mother to visit her occasionally.
In the end, Empress Dowager Cixi did not disappoint her mother, and with her own efforts, she became the empress dowager. In addition, he also vacated his son's rights to become the actual ruler, and Cixi, who sat on the throne, was even more filial to his mother. She not only took her mother to the vicinity of the capital, but also often sent some gold and silver jewelry and novelty items to her mother, so that her mother could be rich and healthy and enjoy her old age.
In the seventh year of Tongzhi, it coincided with the sixtieth birthday of Cixi's mother, Fu Chashi. Cixi was too busy with the affairs of the DPRK and China to get out, so Empress Dowager Cixi, who had never written a poem, personally created a poem for her mother, the content of which was :"The father and mother in the world have the truest love, and the tears and blood are integrated into the children's bodies." Exhausting all his efforts will eventually be a son, and the heart of poor parents in the world. ”
Verses circulated and compiled into textbooks
The content of this poem created by Empress Dowager Cixi is indeed touching. In terms of filial piety, Empress Dowager Cixi had nothing to say, and it was her sincere heart that made the court very moved. This is also why this poem has been able to last for hundreds of years, and to this day, we must be no stranger to the "poor parents' hearts".
It is reported that Empress Dowager Cixi's mother died in the ninth year of Tongzhi, and Empress Dowager Cixi was devastated by this matter for a while. As the mother of Empress Dowager Cixi, Fu Chashi can be said to have been very lucky in her life. Husbands and wives are harmonious, and children are filial piety, but the way and method of filial piety of Empress Dowager Cixi is used incorrectly.
She takes what she steals from the people to honor her mother, which is extremely irresponsible to the people and the country, and she advocates extravagance and waste. With the demise of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi's filial piety to her mother was not mentioned. Due to many policy mistakes in the late Cixi period, she was also rejected by everyone.
epilogue
In the early days of her reign, Cixi was still single-minded in governing the country, and she also considered the affairs of the regime in a comprehensive manner. It is precisely because of her behavior that she can make the hundred officials submit. However, in the later period, Cixi slowly forgot her original intention and lost in power. It is precisely because of this that the trajectory of the mainland's history has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In fact, Empress Dowager Cixi is still worth learning in some aspects, such as in her treatment of her own family, this filial piety is precious. And being able to become a generation of empresses is certainly not weak in terms of talent, but she eventually lost herself in the vortex of power, resulting in the defeat of the entire nation. This truth also tells us not to covet comfort, but to move forward bravely and with one heart.
