Profound knowledge? The real cultural accomplishment of Empress Dowager Cixi is not too high.

Looking through the writings and papers of unofficial history, Zhiyin or modern people, many people describe Empress Dowager Cixi as a knowledgeable and versatile talented woman. She not only lamented her superb political skills, but was also impressed by her profound knowledge and exquisite attainments in poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting.

be knowledgeable. De Ling, the aide of Empress Dowager Cixi, said that Cixi's research on China's ancient history and famous ancient history or legends is less than that of ordinary people. Carl, an American female painter who once painted the Empress Dowager Cixi, said that she can not only write poems, but also write fresh and extraordinary works, which is quite "grand". He can also write articles in classical Chinese. "He has a good eloquence, and he is a rare talent. He can recite the poems and songs of ancient famous artists, such as several treasures." Ye Hena Lagan, the great grandson of Empress Dowager Cixi, also said that he likes literature, history and painting very much. It is said that she could recite the three-character classics fluently when she was six years old. "Including Tang poetry and Song poetry, she can recite them in Manchu and Chinese." "Besides her political talent, Cixi has extraordinary literary and painting talents."

Ancient poetry works. In the year of the Qing Dynasty, Tsui Hark clearly described Empress Dowager Cixi's post-trial poems. From the two poems on the trial post, we can see that they are not only neat in words, but also very artistic.

Cixi's calligraphy is in great contrast with the original.

And some of the original works of Empress Dowager Cixi we saw are quite different from the calligraphy and painting on it.

in the eleventh year of Xianfeng, empress dowager cixi and prince gong? Before there was a joint coup in mind, she personally drafted a secret order to dismiss Su Shun and others.

From this secret letter, we can easily see that the cultural quality of Empress Dowager Cixi is not high. First, the handwriting is crooked and you can't see any calligraphy skills. It is far from the world-famous calligraphy of Empress Dowager Cixi. Second, her writing and cultural foundation is not good. The secret Oracle has 237 words, including 12 typos, as many as 16, and many sentences are not fluent. For example, "after entering Chengdu, there are four obvious typos in the 23 words: tell the public that the Prime Minister praised the matter, whether or not, please consult the brothers." Third, she also knows that her cultural level is limited, so there is a sentence in the secret letter "Please ask Brother Qi to rewrite it".

Four years later, at the end of March, the learning and calligraphy of Empress Dowager Cixi had not improved much. Compared with the Secret Order of 1861, we found that the strike was a revolution. The handwriting of the imperial edict is crooked, and the writing level has not improved. There are only 226 words in the imperial edict, and there are 13 typos. In previous secret orders, she misspelled "ruling power" for many times and misspelled "returning to the government again" for "returning to the right wing again". She also knew that her writing style was poor, so she "made an imperial edict and waited", and then gave it to the college students, the college students in Tijen Hall and the college students in Zhou Zupei, and said, "There are many different sentences in the imperial edict, which should be embellished!"

most of them are works by world ghosts.

The author believes that the so-called authentic paintings and calligraphy of Empress Dowager Cixi are at most forgeries actually made by others. Although Qian has "the treasure of Empress Dowager Cixi's calligraphy". For five reasons, some may even be modern imitations of these fakes.

First, analyze the skills and techniques of calligraphy and painting. In China, painting and calligraphy need basic skills, so painting and calligraphy are of the same origin. Because the writing and calligraphy of Empress Dowager Cixi are not perfect, her paintings are unlikely to have exquisite attainments. Second, analyze the number of paintings and calligraphy of Empress Dowager Cixi. Call her "I like to write big characters, and use Zhang Yukula's calligraphy to write the words" dragon ","tiger ","pine "and" crane ". And it is hundreds of years old. " With such a large number of calligraphy works, Empress Dowager Cixi is old and her body may not be able to complete it alone. Thirdly, judging from the height and figure of Empress Dowager Cixi and the physical strength required for writing and painting. Carl said that in 193, she "held a pen like a rafter behind her wife and felt in a big inkstone." Seeing that the ink had faded, I began to write sketches. The whole word can be four feet long and can be used as words such as' Fu' and' Shou'. The pen is extremely powerful and does not make any effort. " However, judging from the old photos preserved in the Qing Palace, Empress Dowager Cixi is not tall, about 1.6 meters.

how can a short 68-year-old man's physical strength support her to wave a large sum and write a fast book four feet wide? Fourthly, analyze the forms and styles of Empress Dowager Cixi's paintings. Tsui Hark records that she is not good at using meticulous brushwork with the right pen and tries to look like it. Her painting style is freehand. However, at present, all kinds of paintings with "the treasures of Empress Dowager Cixi" are just meticulous paintings, with neat, meticulous, delicate and realistic strokes and smooth lines, rather than freehand brushwork with vertical strokes and flying ink. There are obvious differences in painting styles between them. Fifth, it has been pointed out that the painting and calligraphy of Empress Dowager Cixi caught the author's knife. Tsui Hark pointed out that in her spare time, she drew a fan and set up a picture for the minister. If you can't give it, find a ghostwriter. One is Yao Yan Shi Fangbo's sister-in-law, and the other is Yunnan Miao Zhongshu Jiayu's sister. Miao Jiahui pointed out many times that Empress Dowager Cixi had personally selected 18 of the best painters. "Their only duty is to paint for Empress Dowager Cixi. These painters are divided into three groups, and each group paints for her for ten days every month. The "Queen Mother" put her own seal on these paintings, and then asked the Hanlin people in the Hanlin Academy to attach some related poems. Whenever there is a banquet in the palace, she will give these paintings to others as if they were all painted by herself. "
