Is the "cultural level" of Empress Dowager Cixi really the "master" level as rumored?

I think Cixi's culture is of a certain level, but calling her "master" is a bit too flattering.

1 Why is it said that Cixi has a certain cultural level? First of all, from the perspective of Cixi’s background, although Cixi’s background is not considered noble, she is at least from a Manchu aristocratic family. She has four books and five classics. The Twenty-Four Histories should have been read frequently, and after Cixi entered the palace, she also accepted some teachings from the palace and had a certain cultural foundation. As Cixi, it was not difficult to come into contact with some famous paintings. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, Cixi Although her cultural level cannot be called a "master", compared with other concubines, Cixi can become one of the best with her comprehensive qualities. And we all know it. In the later period, Cixi launched a coup and participated in political affairs. Although she ultimately led to the tragic ending of the late Qing Dynasty, we have to admit that Cixi also made certain achievements in politics.

2 Why Cixi cannot be called a master? Let’s take a look at a few examples. First of all, there were typos. Cixi made many typos in many edicts, so every time she drafted an edict, she needed to be polished by the ministers around her. The second is her paintings and calligraphy. In ancient times, there was a method, which was for professional calligraphers and painters to trace the outline in advance, and then sprinkle it with 100%. Cixi only had to trace according to the outline, and some appraisers identified Cixi's calligraphy masterpieces. It is far from his own real handwriting, so it is possible that Cixi found someone to do it for him.

Ghostwriting is not a glorious thing. In addition, Cixi began to listen to politics behind the curtain when she was in her twenties. People do not dare to talk too much about Cixi’s true cultural level. They can only say that they will follow Cixi’s ideas. Therefore, Cixi's true cultural level cannot be called a "master".
