Today, let's take a look at Puyi's first encounter with Empress Dowager Cixi through the autobiography "My First Half of Life" by the last emperor Aisin Juelo Puyi, from the perspective of Puyi. According to the memories of the last emperor Puyi, he was only three years old when he was first carried into the Qing Palace, and although he was very young, there were still some sporadic fragments of memory, which were deeply remembered and deeply left in his mind, which shows how much these fragments stimulated a child at that time, and they are still fresh in their memories when they grow up.
The most memorable thing he will never forget was the first time he saw Empress Dowager Xi (Empress Dowager Cixi), and at that moment, Puyi felt extremely frightened. It was a strange place, and he saw many extremely strange people, and not far away there was a gloomy bed tent, and a terribly thin old woman who was being supported by someone sat and cried on the spot. In his autobiography, Pu Yi repeatedly used the gloomy, skinny scary and old woman to describe the scene at that time, which shows how much Pu Yi did not like Empress Dowager Cixi.
Later, Pu Yi heard others add to the follow-up to his first meeting with Cixi: When Cixi saw Pu Yi crying, he asked the eunuch to bring him the rock sugar gourd, trying to coax him not to cry. Who knew that after Puyi took the rock sugar gourd, she fell directly to the ground, continued to cry, and said noisily "I want concubine (nanny)", making a fuss. Cixi saw that this child was making him the emperor, and he was still making a fuss like this, so ignorant and unhappy, and said: "This child is really awkward, let him go up there and play!" So the young Puyi was taken to another room, and his first meeting with Empress Dowager Cixi broke up unhappily, and the eerie horror was Puyi's first and deepest impression of Cixi. #历史开讲 #
