On the day Empress Dowager Tu Xi was born, a strange celestial phenomenon appeared in the sky of the Forbidden City and her house. However, at that time, Emperor Dao Quang thought it was a good omen and didn't think much of it.

In ancient Chinese society, people believed in the touch of heaven and man very much. They believed that many strange natural phenomena or astronomical phenomena predicted the rise and fall of the dynasty. For example, the phenomenon of "intercontinental stars" - which means that people born to meet Unicorns, Dragons or Turtles for thousands of years are said to have an extraordinary future.

As for the woman below, after being born, the sky was full of black crows, covering the sky, crying for 3 days and 3 nights, refusing to dissipate. Later, she held great power in the imperial court, ruling China for 47 years. That person was Empress Dowager Tu Xi.

When Tu Hi was born, the book "Thuan Thien Phu Chi" reads: "In the 15th year of Dao Quang, in October of the Smell of the Smell, the crows of the gods gathered, 3 days without scattering". This means that in the 15th year of Daoguang, on the 10th day of the 10th month of the lunar calendar, a flock of black crows covered the sky, refusing to dissipate for 3 days. On that day, the old Buddhist was born.

According to many sources, when Empress Dowager Tu Xi was born, she did not cry for an hour. People in the house thought she was mute or had a strange disease, worried that she could not be raised. At the same time, in the backyard of Tu Xi's house, many black crows appeared, covering the sky, constantly chirping in the yard. For 3 days and 3 nights, she still didn't cry, but these crows kept crying non-stop.

Moreover, according to historical records, a flock of crows also flew around the Forbidden City, flying back and forth, and finally stopped in the sky of the Central Sea and the South China Sea in the Forbidden City. When the people of Beijing witnessed this, they all said that the person who put an end to the Qing Dynasty was born, and this dynasty would not last long.

But for Emperor Daoguang at that time, it was a rare good omen. He was very happy, and even organized a big banquet for the gods for 3 days in a row. The reason is that the Manchus follow Shamanism. In this religion, the crow is a divine bird, a symbol of good luck and good omens.

Moreover, in the legend of the Nu Chan people, crows used to help their ancestors. Therefore, when a lot of crows appeared and flew around the Forbidden City, Emperor Daoguang considered it a rare auspicious omen for hundreds of years. But he didn't know that the auspicious omen he was celebrating was a woman who would push the Qing dynasty to its demise.

Later, Tu Xi grew up and became beautiful. Moreover, her Diep Hach Na Lap family was very powerful at that time, having been an official for many generations. Tu Hi has been very well educated since childhood, knowledgeable in poetry and etiquette, so he stands out in the selection of concubines of Dao Quang's son, Ham Phong. Later, she became the concubine of Emperor Ham Feng.

Tu Xi gave birth to Han Feng's only son, so that, after his death, she initiated the coup, controlled the Great Qing, and ruled the country for 47 years. It was her 47 years of rule that made Dai Qing miss the opportunity to reform and revival time and time again, leading the dynasty further on the path of collapse. Not only at birth, even after the death of the Empress Dowager, there are many rumors about mysterious phenomena occurring.

According to historical records, on the day of the funeral of the old Buddhist, the weather became unusual. It was sunny and rainy, and there was even thunder and lightning in the clear sky. Everyone thinks that this is God's dissatisfaction with her.

Many people even think that this is a bad omen, foreshadowing bad things that are about to happen. However, historians believe that the erratic weather is simply a natural phenomenon and not related to the death of Empress Dowager Tu Xi.

Besides, there were also many rumors about golden horse dolls decorated at the funeral of Empress Dowager Tu Hi. Those present at the funeral thought that the dolls of soldiers and horses suddenly became lifelike, making everyone afraid.

However, historians now explain that this is only a psychological effect. The reason why they become strange is because these golden things only vibrate in the wind, causing people to hallucinate.

Not stopping, there are many rumors that during the funeral of Empress Dowager Tu Xi, many treasures flowed out of her coffin, dyeing the whole ground red. Historians believe that it may have been the liquid in the coffin that leaked out that made people mistake it for blood. There is also an opinion that this phenomenon is just fictional words to scare people.

Until many years after Empress Dowager Tu Xi died, Sun Dien Anh led soldiers to her grave to steal gold and silver treasures. However, when they opened the coffin, they were terrified because her body was still intact, looking just like they were sleeping. This made grave robbers extremely scared.

However, the correct answer is that some chemicals from the ancient mummification method make the remains of the Queen Mother well preserved. Historians also add that the ancients often used mercury or wax to mummify bodies, so it is difficult to decompose.

According to the rumors, Sun Dianying was not afraid at that time, what he wanted was the night pearl to be placed in the mouth of Empress Dowager Tu Xi. Suddenly, the night pearl had just been taken out, and her body suddenly withered and rotted. Many grave robbers who could not keep their calm threw away their belongings.
