If talking about famous queens in the feudal Chinese dynasty, of course, it is impossible not to mention Empress Dowager Tu Xi. She was born on November 29, 1835 - and died on November 15, 1908 during the Qing Dynasty.
Empress Dowager Xu Xi is famous for the most extravagant luxury in Chinese history. There is an opinion that she not only has bottomless greed but is also stupid and backward, from even eating and drinking, she can also see Tu Hy's lavish and greedy life.
Considered the most gourmet of the late Qing Dynasty, the food is delicious in the world, perhaps there is no dish that Empress Dowager Tu Xi has never eaten. The luxury of her meals, just looking at it is enough. Each of her meals was worth 200 taels or more.
An amount of silver at the end of the Qing Dynasty was worth the equivalent of 200 yuan in this period in China. Spending 40,000 yuan just to serve one meal is truly breathtaking. The Tay Thien room set up by Empress Dowager Tu Hy has a total of more than 120 talented Chinese chefs, able to process more than 4000 dishes, more than 400 types of breakfast.
The variety of dishes makes people tongue-tied, so rich that even if you watch the entire culinary series "A bite of China" it can't be compared. Empress Dowager Tu Xi has eaten many such delicious dishes, but there are two relatively common meats that you won't find on her list of dishes.
The first food that Empress Dowager Tu Xi did not eat was dog meat. Not because she is a dog lover, keeping dogs as pets can't bear to eat it, but because the Manchu people have a custom not to eat dog meat. Although each meal, Empress Dowager Cixi was served hundreds of dishes, there were absolutely no dishes made from pork and beef on the menu. Manchu people are fishing and hunting people, dogs for them are the labor force, many hunting activities have to rely on dogs to be able to do.
In addition, according to the story, that year Nurhaci was burned by the Ming army with fire, a golden dog soaked its fur and saved him, so Nurhaci was lucky not to be turned into meat. grilled, out of gratitude to the dog for saving him, he banned eating dog meat.
The second type of food that Empress Dowager Tu Xi never ate was beef. According to the story, Tu Hy did not eat beef because he criticized the beef as "fishy and hard", but that was not the case. The real reason why Empress Dowager Cixi didn't eat beef was because during the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history, there was a ban on using beef as food.
The Qing Dynasty continued this regime, unless it was on major holidays, it was normally not allowed to kill cows, so because of that, Tu Xi "just looked and didn't eat" beef. According to records, Tu Hy once said that eating beef was a great sin. Stemming from the regime and cultural customs, Empress Dowager Tu Xi does not eat dog and beef meat, but she herself is like a beast, ready to suck people's blood but does not realize that this is the biggest crime. .
Another interesting story about the eating habits of Empress Dowager Tu Hy is that from taking power until her death, Empress Dowager Tu Hy only drank boiled white water only once. The percentage of water in the human body is more than 60%. Without enough water, basic human survival will be difficult to guarantee. Usually, when we feel lack of water, thirsty, we humans will replenish by drinking filtered water, boiled water, this is also a good habit that has been maintained for thousands of years by the Chinese people.
But Empress Dowager Tu Xi is probably an exception. When she was in power, Empress Dowager Tu Xi never drank boiled water. The only time she drank boiled white water was when she was fleeing from Beijing, due to the long distance and rushed to flee, she could not prepare anything, she was so thirsty that she could not stand it, so she drank a cup. water.
The first impression when referring to Empress Dowager Cixi is her luxury. Cixi's life is truly worthy of the luxurious name. Every time Tu Xi eats rice, there must be more than a hundred dishes on display. She will eat one piece of each dish and won't touch her chopsticks a second time. She wears at least one pair of socks every day, no matter how sophisticated they are, they can only be used once. The material is all made of high-class silk, and each year, just counting socks alone, more than ten thousand taels of white silver are used. How much is a thousand taels of white silver worth? It was equivalent to the annual income of 500 people then. From there, it can be seen how luxurious Tu Hy lived.
Having such a luxurious life, in drinking water, Empress Dowager Tu Hy also attaches great importance, absolutely not overboard, anyway, it can't lose face of the title "Old Buddha". Therefore, during the years of her rule, she did not drink water, instead, Empress Dowager Tu Xi used the following drinks:
One is plant-based juices. Empress Dowager Xu does not drink boiled water, usually she will drink expensive vegetable juices or juices of rare vegetables.
Valuable things are inherently difficult to obtain, so each time it takes a lot of human and material resources to find. Of course, all the officials or servants are willing to search, because if you can flatter the "Old Buddha", you don't need to worry about your future path to becoming a mandarin.
Second is tea. The tea that Empress Dowager Cixi drank was no ordinary tea. Except for tea leaves, which are first-class tea leaves, tea water is also a first-class spring water. She once sent people to Tuyet Son to search for the purest spring water. These luxuries make it hard to imagine.
The water of Yuquan Mountain in Beijing belongs to the best spring water, so starting from the Qianlong period, the spring water of Yuquan Mountain was used only for royalty. Empress Dowager Tu Xi felt that this was not enough, so she ordered to drink only the fresh spring water that was brought in during the day. Therefore, every day when the gate of the Forbidden City opens, the first thing that is brought in is a water truck for the "Old Buddha".
The third type of water that Tu Hy drank was breast milk. There was a time when Empress Dowager Tu Xi had a very serious illness. As a result, she recovered from her illness after drinking breast milk. Therefore, she firmly believes that breast milk can ensure the health of the human body. Since then, Tu Hy has raised many nannies in the palace who specialize in providing breast milk for her. Thinking about it, it feels difficult to say, all children aged two or three are weaned, only a few years later, but Tu Hy - an old woman in her decades is still drinking breast milk. I don't know how she felt when she drank milk, was it a feeling of shame that was speechless?
Just looking at such an aspect can see the luxury of Empress Dowager Tu Hy. Just thinking about it is enough to understand all the other aspects. Having such a luxurious and familiar "Old Buddha" in power, this is also one of the reasons why Dai Thanh entered the path of destruction.
