What did Cixi say when she first saw the electric light, which still makes people laugh?

When Cixi saw the electric light for the first time, she said something very funny, and she is still laughing. Empress Dowager Cixi actually said what these eggplants were doing in the palace, and how could these eggplants still glow, just like fireflies. The eunuchs and maids in the palace burst into laughter, especially Li smiled and said to the queen mother, this is the electric light I lit for your old man.

As we all know, Cixi is a self-righteous queen mother who has been listening to politics for many years. During her reign, the Qing dynasty began to close its doors to the outside world, and the development of the whole Qing dynasty stopped 1000 years ago. In the 65,438+08 century, Britain made greater progress in the first industrial revolution.

However, our Great Qing Dynasty is still asleep, and the western powers have begun to plunder the colonies of various countries. What they want most is the treasure land of China, and what Empress Dowager Cixi wants is how to prolong her life and how to spend these hours every day.

190 1 year, which is the 66th birthday of Cixi. At that time, Yuan Shikai bought a car from abroad to please Empress Dowager Cixi. In fact, cars have long been popular in the west, but we haven't seen them in the Qing Dynasty, especially the rulers. However, after taking the car, the empress dowager said that the car could run so fast without a horse, and even let the driver drive on his knees.

As Empress Dowager Cixi said when she saw the electric light, is this eggplant? How can it shine? This fully shows our ignorance and backwardness in the Qing Dynasty.
