Introduction: As one of the few female politicians in China's thousands of years of history, she ruled China for 48 years. During its half century in power, China experienced internal troubles and foreign invasion, including the Opium War, the Sino-Japanese War, the Westernization Movement, the Reform Movement of 1898, the Boxer Rebellion and Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion. Most of the impressions left to the world are related to "bringing disaster to the country and the people". As a king of a country, she certainly has an unshirkable responsibility in the face of the stormy declining dynasty, but it seems that it is not in line with the dialectical view of history to completely deny her life. Apart from the status of "queen" > Cixi as a woman > Her growth experience, personality characteristics and emotional world can be used as evidence of her life. & gt An intelligent, delicate and flexible woman > From the Opium War to the Revolution of 1911 > The whole modern history of China is related to Cixi > There are many materials about Cixi > "Xiang Si climbed out of so many materials > Draw some flesh and blood to complete a biography > It takes years of accumulation to do it. There are many opinions about the birthplace of Cixi > Through my own historical materials about Cixi > Xiang Si said in the book > Cixi was born in Xisi Bicai Hutong in Beijing today-a wealthy Manchu bureaucratic family. Cixi was very clever when she was a child > because she had a strong personality > and was not popular with her parents. Influenced by my father who likes the Book of Songs, I have been interested in poetry and painting since I was a child. The family hired a teacher for Cixi. Cixi began to study poetry and painting at the age of four until she entered the palace at the age of 16, which laid a solid cultural foundation for her. When Empress Dowager Cixi became Empress Dowager Cixi at the age of 26, I often read poems > play the piano and draw pictures with other concubines and eunuchs in Palace of Gathered Elegance. & gt Cixi is proficient in melody > She can sing many folk songs > I am also familiar with the ancient books such as The Book of Songs and The Analects of Confucius > Even when facing Emperor Xianfeng, you can talk about Kan Kan. " From a woman's point of view, Cixi is a natural beauty, has extraordinary wisdom and courage, and especially has the ability to control political power and serve ministers. Cixi loves cleanliness in life, and her work and rest are very regular. Full of emotional appeal > with a wide range of hobbies > Everyone is keen on reading, painting, walking, listening to books, watching movies, raising small animals, planting flowers and grass, and dressing up. These are very healthy and beneficial flavors. To sum up the other side of Cixi in this way, "She has almost no bad habits" is a very healthy life > a delicate woman. " Aside from all kinds of fun in life, Cixi is also a woman with a combination of rigidity and softness. Such a character and extraordinary intelligence >; Let her stand out in the makeup of the harem > From entering the palace at the age of 16, to being made a noble and becoming the empress dowager at the age of 26 >: all of these show Cixi's ability to seize opportunities. Introduction to Sri Lanka > Cixi appreciates the famous saying of Emperor Kangxi: Be small in heart and bold. Her life principle is: who makes me unhappy for a while > I want to make him unhappy for life! This has been reflected many times in her life's decisions. & gt Empress Dowager Cixi is proficient in melody > She can sing many folk songs > I am also familiar with ancient books such as The Book of Songs and The Analects of Confucius > Even when facing Emperor Xianfeng, you can talk about Kan Kan. "If you look at it from a woman's point of view, Cixi is a natural beauty, has extraordinary wisdom and courage, and especially has the ruling ability to control political power and serve ministers.

This has been reflected many times in her life's decisions. & gt Although there is not much ink on Cixi's emotional world in the book, her fate with Rong Lu is still remarkable. What is the relationship between them? " I might as well take my opinion of Cixi as a family statement, but I'm not kidding. According to Records of Historical Records, the first love of Cixi was indeed Rong Lu, and the fate between them was well documented. "When Xianfeng was two years old, Rong Lu was just an eight-product official > I didn't rise in this position for a long time > Since Cixi came to power and found him >: He had a promise > and soon rose to the position of the first-class king in Beijing. Why does the suspicious Cixi trust him so much? Why does Cixi always appear at her side in time > from the coup in Qixiang to the escape to xi 'an >: Rong Lu? There is no denying that Rong Lu is one of many mysteries in Cixi's life. & gt "Queen's Country" that made great achievements and made selfish mistakes > Cixi/Kloc-entered the palace at the age of 0/6 > Emperor Xianfeng soon discovered > The girl Laner (Cixi) had amazing political enthusiasm and talent for employing people. Therefore, Emperor Xianfeng likes to let Laner intervene in government affairs. Cixi, who is in her early twenties, has already started her ups and downs political career > She has experienced four emperors >: from aristocrat to imperial concubine to empress dowager > Step by step approaching and controlling political power. Ruling China for Nearly Half a Century: Cixi has both an active and open side and a selfish, narrow and autocratic side. With the growth of age, the empire finally came to an end. & gt Cixi, as a "queen", is not an isolated figure > Her life is closely related to that era > If we want to get closer to the truth of her ruling career in the study >; It is necessary to master the historical materials of her four emperors Zeng Guofan, Zuo and Rong Lu as important historical figures of the times. In the book "* *" >, Xiang Si has no intention of being Cixi. He just thinks that the limited positive progress of Cixi's administration should be conveyed to readers: she boldly reused Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo, Hu Linyi and other officials with * * >; She pacified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Make a large number of talented * * * into the ranks of ministers; She advocates taking a tough attitude towards foreigners; She resolutely opposed Xianfeng Emperor's escape from the Jehol to the north; Guangxu 26 years > Eight-Nation Alliance Enemy at the Gates > She encouraged Emperor Guangxu to boldly declare war on the Allies; She emphasizes the independent spirit of women >: she thinks that women should have culture > women should have their own living space ... > "Cixi's life certainly has her positive side." She used several important * * * > to accumulate new political power for the country. She also balanced the contradiction between Manchu and Chinese to some extent. The first batch of young children studying abroad in the history of China was also promoted with the support of Cixi. People's impression of Cixi's "disaster for the country and the people" is naturally not without reason. "Cixi seized power in a coup at the age of 26 and died at the age of 74 > ruled China for 48 years > from Xianfeng to Xuan Tong > The Qing Dynasty went from bad to worse > She was naturally responsible for the history of China for half a century. No matter how many objective reasons > as a ruler > Cixi bears the unshirkable responsibility first. " During this period, China developed slowly in economy, military and science and technology. The internal struggle of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom >: Facing the invasion of western foreign enemies > Signing unequal treaties again and again > Cixi has never had a good countermeasure. Therefore, people think that she is an unforgivable historical sinner. & gt For these problems in the late Qing Dynasty > Cixi's personal responsibility: "First of all, play games with Prince Gong? And the use of Rong Lu. Hey? Inclined to reform > Rong Lu inclined to be conservative >: But Cixi played a game? Abolishing > naturally blocking the road of national reform > Reusing Rong Lu will make the country develop in a more conservative direction. In the face of the Reform Movement of 1898, Cixi overemphasized the mastery of personal power, ignored the overall situation of the country and the nation, imprisoned Guangxu in a coup, killed those who advocated innovation, and drove them away. When Cixi was young in Guangxu period, it was of certain significance to stabilize the political power, but on the issue of succession to the throne, Cixi's practice was a historical retrogression. During the period of Nurhachi and Huang taiji, the succession to the throne should be discussed by the aristocratic meeting, and a little aristocratic democracy, or the best heir should be chosen for the country and the nation. Cixi's choice of heir to the throne is limited to the intersection of Aisingiorro and Yehnara. This natural choice is Guangxu, not the best, but relatives. In addition, Cixi's handling of the Boxer Rebellion did not solve the contradiction well in policy. & gt eventually perished > It can be said that many reasons lead to one fruit > The responsibility is not entirely attributed to Cixi >: If Tongzhi or Guangxu was in power at that time > it might not have changed the situation in the Qing Dynasty > Maybe China would have declined even more. After all, Cixi is still good at employing people, and she can win over a group of talents to maintain the basic operation of the state machine. " Emperor Nurhachi of the Qing Dynasty planted the seeds of "The Prosperous Age of Kanggan", and also planted the gene of "light (line) propaganda (unification) mourning the world". Those genes are constantly changing and developing, and the final result is the demise of the Qing Dynasty. It is not easy to restore Cixi comprehensively in Between Women and Politicians. She is a soft-hearted woman. A woman who combines rigidity with softness > Political life is full of femininity > Gong Wei's life also bears the mark of "Queen". Exquisite woman > woman full of personality > fearless woman; A brave woman > a reckless woman > a woman who lost her family and country. Perhaps Xiang Si's evaluation of her is closer to the real Cixi. & gt
