Is it really because Cixi banned the use of "horse-drawn carts" on the Tang-Xu Railway?

It was really the Empress Dowager Cixi who thought that the black smoke from the train would hinder the transportation of the Qing Dynasty, so she took a carriage instead. Qing Dynasty was the closest feudal ruling society to modern times. During the Qianlong period, the country was closed to the outside world, which caused the Qing Dynasty to be complacent for more than 100 years. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the constant impact of western civilization, that the Qing Dynasty began to accept some modern goods, even building railways and introducing trains, but it made a big joke when using trains.

At that time, the trains were all driven forward by burning coal. After the introduction of the train, the Qing Dynasty held an extremely important celebration ceremony. Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu and other ministers attended the celebration. After taking off the red cloth, the train is ready to start and show the running speed to the people present. However, just after the train started, Empress Dowager Cixi flew into a rage. The train is burning coal. It must be full of smoke. Empress Dowager Cixi thought that this kind of black smoke was harmful to the fortune and geomantic omen of the Qing Dynasty, and the train was not allowed to move on.

Moreover, when the train is running, it is too loud and too close to the royal cemetery, which is easy to disturb the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty. In order to solve this problem, only a horse-drawn train was used, which even became one of the landscapes at that time. After that, Empress Dowager Cixi was invited to board the train for experience, but the problem came again. Empress Dowager Cixi thought that the driver of the train turned out to be a young man, which was outrageous, but none of the eunuchs accompanying him could drive the train. In desperation, the train driver had to wear eunuch clothes to drive the train.

I thought it was foolproof, but Empress Dowager Cixi had a moth again. She thinks she is the most outstanding person in the world, and whatever she does should be the first. But before she got on the train, there were several conductors on the train. We all know that the conductor must get ready on the train first. In order to quell Empress Dowager Cixi's anger, we had to let the train attendants get off after finishing their work, and Empress Dowager Cixi got on the bus after waiting for the bus. All this makes people feel ridiculous.
