"Poor Inheritance" was written by Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty. The whole poem is "The parents' love is the truest in the world, tears and blood are dissolved in their children's bodies, and their hearts are ultimately children, and they are poor."

Fu Chashi, the mother of Empress Dowager Cixi, the daughter of Hui Xian, deputy governor of Guihua City, and the wife of Zheng Hui, Guangtai Road, Ningchi, Anhui Province, was born in the 12th year of Jiaqing (1807) and died in the 9th year of Tongzhi (1870).

Poetic background

When Cixi's mother celebrated her 60th birthday, although the Forbidden City was only a stone's throw away from her mother's mansion in Xila Hutong, Cixi could not attend her mother's birthday. I asked the courtiers to send many things to my mother. At the same time, I personally wrote a calligraphy, framed it and sent it.

This pair of calligraphy was preserved for several generations and was finally destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. It was a poem written by Cixi to her mother: "inherit the wind is the truest, tears and blood dissolve in her children. Hard work will eventually become a child, poor Chengfeng! "

Nowadays, many people know the phrase "poverty leads to change", but they don't know its origin. In fact, this sentence comes from a poem by Cixi.
