In 1903, Cixi brought several Fujin and eunuchs to the Summer Palace to enjoy the snow. In the face of this beautiful snowy scene, the shadow of the Eight-Nation Alliance still lingers in Cixi's heart. The future of the Great Qing Kingdom worries her.
When she was young, Cixi was beautiful and moving, with an excellent posture, and proficient in calligraphy and painting, even the Jiangnan Xiaoquer sang very beautifully, and directly fascinated Emperor Xianfeng, and since then he only loves beauties, not the country.

In 1900, men and women in the Qing Dynasty took pictures very avant-garde, which dared to take such photos at that time, which was really a bit of guts!
This is a group photo of the last emperor Pu Yi and his foreign teacher Johnston, his younger brother Pu Jie and his brother-in-law Runqi (the younger brother of the Empress Wanrong) in front of the kneeling elephant in the north of the Imperial Garden, and Runqi is very playfully sitting on the head of the elephant.

An old couple on the way, a woman riding a donkey. You can tell from their expressions that they are in a good mood!
This is not an ordinary family, everyone is a noble, a man from a rich family, married seven wives, it can be seen that this man's family background is not ordinary, many families have problems eating, and marrying wives is a problem.
The grandmother who bound her granddaughter's feet, "Three-inch Golden Lotus", was invented in the Southern Tang Dynasty, popularized in the Northern Song Dynasty, popularized in the Southern Song Dynasty, and solidified in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This little golden lotus looks very terrifying, trembling like a willow in the wind! The little foot girl was forbidden to wrap her little feet after 49 years of the last century, and women have really stood up since then!
Woman with Bound Small Feet It can be seen that girls are very young with small feet and are firmly imprisoned by the ugly aesthetics of feudal society.

A vegetable market in Beijing, where you can see the Drum Tower in the distance. Let's see, there are no women on the street, they are all old men. It may be that the Eight-Nation Alliance is tyrannical, and women don't go out to avoid being bullied. I really want to go back in time and see what fruits and vegetables are available in the vegetable market. A group of beggars is waiting for alms!

In 1910, the 23-year-old Minister of the Imperial Forbidden Army of the Qing Dynasty, Zaitao, visited eight European countries. Zaitao in the photo, dressed in a military uniform, is in stark contrast to the obese European soldiers behind him.
This photo is not a still, it is a real old photo of the Qing Dynasty. The 8 delicate-looking, dignified and graceful women in the photo are the concubines in the palace.
These three are important figures in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they are, from left to right, Shanqing, Prince Alcohol, and Li Hongzhang. At that time, the sitting was just like in the picture, with the feet apart, the soles of the feet on the ground, and the hands on the knees, which was called sitting like a clock.
On the streets of the old society, the grizzled people, although the clothes are very rustic, there are no patches in sight. The society looks depressed and declining.
In 1908, during the enthronement ceremony of Puyi, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and the eunuchs stood together, and it can be found that the soldiers had cut off their braids, and the eunuchs still had braids.
Young women pose for a photograph in 1901. The two people on the left and right sides of the front row are wrapped in small and pointed feet, which are real "three-inch golden lotus", and the middle two are Tianzu. Foot binding has a huge impact on women's physical and mental health, leaving them physically stunted and heavily dependent on the men in their families.
