1906, Cixi ordered the abolition of the bad habit of foot-binding which lasted for nearly 600 years in China, creating a precedent for the liberation of women. And abolished the old law that Manchu and Han could not marry. Empress Dowager Cixi has the intention of promoting women's concept education, which reflects that women's status has been improved to a certain extent. She also personally questioned the cases of Yang Naiwu and Cabbage, and found out and punished more than 300 corrupt elements related to this case.
But no matter from which angle to think about her life, after all, she is far above her work. The profound disaster that she once brought to the Chinese nation is unforgivable in history, and Yehnara will be forever engraved on the historical shame column of the Chinese nation.
The luminous pearl is a luminous pearl that Cixi put in her mouth after her death to prevent the corpse from rotting. Sun Dianying once described this night pearl as follows: Separation is two pieces, together it is a sphere, and separation is transparent and insipid. Together, it presents a green cold light, and you can see hair within a hundred steps at night. No wonder Lafayette seems to have just fallen asleep after opening the coffin. According to research, this luminous pearl is a diamond stone weighing 787 carats. At that time, it was worth108,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to 8 10/00,000 RMB today. Later, Sun Dianying gave it to Song Meiling as a pendant in sandals, and now it is collected in the family museum of American tycoon Rockefeller.
Emerald Watermelon This is a pair of emerald watermelons naturally formed on Kunlun Mountain. Later, they were all given to Cixi. They were born with green skin and dark green patterns. The red pulp and black melon seeds in the melon are still looming, which are deeply loved by Cixi. After Cixi's death, the pair of jade watermelons were placed at their feet and stolen by the military commander Sun Dianying. Now one is missing, and another jade watermelon worth 600 million falls into a private museum in the United States.
Empress Dowager Cixi likes jade very much, so she will give it to her if she is kind. Zhang Zhidong, one of the four famous ministers in the late Qing Dynasty, looked around and presented a piece of jade to Cixi. Cixi can't stop because it is similar to a magic pestle, called a jade pestle. The magic pestle is a Buddhist instrument that can ward off evil spirits and kill ghosts. The sinister and vicious Cixi killed countless people. She is afraid of ghosts knocking at the door in the middle of the night, and it is difficult to sleep at night. So even when she was sleeping, she took this jade pestle and fell asleep peacefully.
