When Cixi saw the electric light for the first time, she shouted two words. Do you know what she shouted?

Cixi was the last ruler of the actual political power of our country. When Cixi was there, the first industrial revolution had already occurred in Europe and the era of steamization had begun. They had begun to use some simple machines to replace The productivity of manual labor has also improved a lot.

At that time in Europe, many simple electrical appliances had entered every household, such as lights, telephones, etc. But at that time, the Qing Dynasty was still in seclusion and had very little exposure to what was happening outside. However, in Cixi's later years, some "foreign goods" gradually appeared in the palace, which were things that the Chinese people had never seen before, including Cixi.

When Cixi discovered these Western items, she was still very interested. For example, she admired foreign high-heeled shoes, and later had similar high-heeled shoes made. However, because of her long hair and short knowledge, she was not interested in them. I am curious about new things, so I made a lot of jokes. For example, when Cixi made a car for the first time, she saw that the driver was not only on equal footing with her, but also sat in front of her, and then asked the driver to kneel down to drive. How could he drive while kneeling? So the driver had no choice but to block the accelerator with something and lied that the car was broken down. When Cixi saw the electric light for the first time, she also made a big joke.

When electric lamps were first introduced and before Cixi recognized them, those businessmen approached Li Lianying to establish relations, so Li Lianying installed electric lamps in the palace for the first time. In the garden, when Cixi was taken there at night, as soon as Cixi saw the electric light, she called out "eggplant" to the two people, which made the palace maids and eunuchs burst into laughter.

Li Lianying had to collect money from others and also help others, so she tried her best to adjust her emotions and told the Queen Mother that this was an electric light. She almost suffered internal injuries at that time!
