What does it mean to take a photo with eggplant?

When the Queen Mother of the West saw the light on for the first time, which two words made people laugh?

Why do we all shout' eggplant' when taking a group photo-Yao, an unknown online writer.

The electric light has just been introduced into China, but it has not been recognized by Empress Dowager Cixi for some time. Those businessmen all went to Li to get through the relationship, so Li put the electric light in the imperial garden for the first time and took Cixi at night, hoping to surprise her.

As a result, when the light came on, Cixi even shouted "Eggplant! Eggplant! " ! Let the ladies-in-waiting and eunuchs present laugh; Because of the identity of Cixi, Li couldn't laugh, but patiently explained to Cixi: "These are called electric lights, not eggplant. Although their colors are beautiful, their more important role is to make the house light up. "

After the Western Pacific, the electric light was called "eggplant", which made a big joke. Why?

It turned out that the Western Empress Dowager had heard from the Prince that Yu Geng had a daughter who was familiar with foreign languages and western manners, so she summoned Mrs. Yu Geng and took her two daughters, De Ling and Rong Ling, into the palace. Later, together with Rongling, De Ling became one of the eight female officials in the Forbidden City. Once, the Queen Mother of the West saw a foreigner taking pictures. When the photo light flashed, the foreigner cried. After the Western Empress Dowager asked De Ling, "What did the foreigner shout when taking pictures?" Deling replied: "When foreigners take pictures, they always shout: eggplant, which means eggplant in Chinese." Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West called it' Eggplant' when she saw the flashing lights, which is why we all called it' Eggplant' when we took a group photo in China.

Therefore, the Western Empress Dowager, as the supreme ruler, was so ignorant of foreign countries, which was the fundamental reason for China's closed-door policy at that time. Therefore,' eggplant' is not only a joke, but more importantly, it is a warning to the closed history and a spur to international integration.
