How did Empress Dowager Cixi spend the Spring Festival? How extravagant is she?

Spring Festival is the most traditional festival in China. Empress Dowager Cixi, as a powerful person in the late Qing Dynasty, had a very happy Spring Festival, and almost everyone revolved around her. As long as Lafayette is happy, this Spring Festival will be complete and auspicious; If Lafayette is unhappy, everyone will be in fear of being punished for it.

The Spring Festival of Empress Dowager Cixi is somewhat similar to our present Spring Festival. I will also clean up, worship ancestors, worship immortals, and do some recreational activities, such as playing cards and going to see operas.

During the Spring Festival of Cixi, one person enjoys himself and everyone enjoys himself. Cixi is a woman obsessed with power and knows how to enjoy life. Her extravagance is famous in history. Although the imperial court declined and the people were miserable, her living standard could not be lowered at all, which was very different from that of Emperor Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to continuing her daily life, Cixi will spend a lot of money on new clothes and give lucky money to ministers and concubines. Even the artists who play cards with her will receive rewards and entertainment funds. Throughout the Spring Festival, people around Cixi will carry out activities around Cixi's preferences, so that Cixi will laugh regardless of her image.

During the Spring Festival, treasures are presented with indifference. She likes handmade products to take charge of such a big Qing Dynasty. Cixi was no stranger to treasures for a long time. Whether on her birthday or during the Spring Festival, concubines and ministers will give her gifts. If it is a rare treasure, Cixi will not be very interested. After all, the accumulation of hundreds of years in the Qing Dynasty has made her accustomed to rare treasures and her eyes are very high.

Compared with rare treasures, Cixi pays more attention to some handmade products, which often make Cixi laugh happily. Handmade products, on the one hand, can show worshippers' respect for Cixi, on the other hand, they can also show each other's ingenuity.

Cixi doesn't sleep during the Spring Festival, and others dare not go to bed privately. Her extravagance is shocking. After the whole festival, she spent a lot of money, which accelerated the demise of the late Qing Dynasty.
