For women, virtue, talent, ability and honesty are the best, followed by virtue without virtue, and worst of all, talent without virtue is the bane. Empress Dowager Cixi's behavior did not conform to Qin Shihuang's female standards, but Qin Shihuang also believed that children should not talk about fathers (including elders and ancestors) and ministers should not talk about monarchs (including posthumous title). Therefore, Qin Shihuang will not show disrespect to Empress Xuan.
Historical interpretation
Qin Shihuang is the overlord of a generation, and Empress Xuan is the grandmother of Qin Shihuang. Similarly, Empress Xuan also left a rich and colorful stroke in history. This woman stands out in the patriarchal society and has made great contributions to the unification of Qin State.
In the history of Qin Shihuang's evaluation of Empress Xuan, some people say that Qin Shihuang worshipped Empress Xuan because she was a very legendary female politician. She came to Qin as the wife of King Qin Huiwen, but her status was not high at that time.
