It comes from the mouth of Empress Dowager Cixi. This sentence is from a poem written by Cixi to her mother Fucha when she turned 60 years old. Empress Dowager Cixi, formerly known as Yulan, was born in 1835. She entered the palace at the age of 17. In 1861, her husband Emperor Xianfeng passed away, and she was called Empress Dowager Cixi from that time on.
The Empress Dowager Cixi has always had a bad relationship with her biological mother, the Fucha family. Before Cixi entered the palace, the two often quarreled. Later, when Cixi entered the palace, she rose from a beautiful girl to a queen, which also made her mother a little afraid.
It’s just that the Fucha family has always relied on the fact that she is the biological mother of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Even if the Empress Dowager Cixi later became more powerful in the world, there was nothing she could do. In 1867, his mother, Fucha, celebrated her 60th birthday. As the Empress Dowager at the time, Cixi was unable to go to pay her respects in person. Or maybe she was too lazy to make the trip herself, so she asked her courtiers to send many gifts to her mother. She also copied a calligraphy letter. Inside the calligraphy was a poem written by Cixi herself: "Fathers and mothers in this world. Love is the truest, and the tears and blood melt into the body of the child. I have worked so hard to become a son, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!" Then he invited a famous framer to frame it and gave it to his mother.
The meaning of this poem is that the love of parents is the most true in the world. They not only give their children life and blood, but also work hard for their children. Although sometimes their children cannot understand, parents still love them. Caring about your children as always! However, judging from the relationship between the two, Cixi's words were mostly perfunctory rather than sincere, but the emotion it expressed was true.
Later, this sentence became widely circulated, and gradually it was forgotten that this sentence first came from the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi!
