Where did you get the "color photos of Cixi when she was young"?

Recently, a "color photo of Empress Dowager Cixi when she was young" was circulated on the Internet. The Empress Dowager Cixi in the photo is charming, graceful and elegant, and her face value is online. Many people lamented that Empress Dowager Cixi was so beautiful when she was young, but when someone associated this photo with the Palace Museum, it was denied by the Palace Museum. It denied: "Impossible, not true, not in the Palace Museum."

It turned out that this beautiful young color "photo" of Empress Dowager Cixi was not collected by the Palace Museum. During the Empress Dowager Cixi period, photography technology was not mature. Today 1903, a large number of photos of Empress Dowager Cixi appeared. At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi was 68 years old, and it was impossible to leave a color photo of her youth. This photo of Empress Dowager Cixi is obviously processed and colored on the basis of modern technology.

Subsequently, the reporter contacted the original author of this "photo", Ju Xudong, who admitted to the reporter that he "created" this "photo" on 20 18 based on his artistic skills and the facial structure of Cixi.

20 19, 1, Ju Xudong posted this painting and the video of his painting process on the Internet, but what he didn't expect was that there were more and more "rumors" about this painting, and there were many different versions, which also troubled experts. Ju Xudong also wants to apologize to the public for causing such a big misunderstanding in his works.

However, although the color photos of Empress Dowager Cixi were painted when she was young, her facial structure is still very close to that of Empress Dowager Cixi, who entered the harem through the draft. During the Qing Dynasty, dancers were selected at different levels. Empress Dowager Cixi was born in Zhenglan Banner, Manchuria, and her father was Cheng Wai from Chiguangtai Road, Huining, Anhui Province. She was a four-level official.

If Empress Dowager Cixi looks ordinary, in Xianfeng's harem draft, the daughter of a four-product Taoist with a blue flag can obviously only be at the bottom. Even if she is lucky enough to be elected to the palace, she will not be liked by Emperor Xianfeng, and she will not have the opportunity to give birth to a prince.

Cixi was a nobleman when she first entered the palace, and was later promoted to Yi Guifei, and finally became the empress dowager. She can stand out among many concubines. Although there is a natural chance from heaven, it is undeniable that her beauty has become her passport to power. If it weren't for her charm, she wouldn't stand out among many beautiful women, let alone give birth to an only son for Emperor Xianfeng.

Since the color photos of Empress Dowager Cixi were later restored, if you want to see the true face value of Empress Dowager Cixi, you can look at the old photos. In the photos, the appearance and temperament of Empress Dowager Cixi are basically the same, because most of the photos were taken at the same time, with a square face, a shriveled mouth, high cheekbones, deep decrees, sharp eyes, deep bags under the eyes and loose eyebrows.

After all, the level of makeup technology was not high at that time, and the photos of Cixi were still high-definition, so that we could also see the true face of Empress Dowager Cixi. Generally speaking, the value of Empress Dowager Cixi in her later years is still online. After all, she is pampered and well maintained every day, and she is still a great beauty among old ladies.

Many people are curious about the beauty of Cixi when she was young. In fact, beauty and means have been the necessary magic weapon for empresses to please their pets since ancient times. Cixi was promoted to empress dowager so quickly, mainly because of her beauty. For the weak and affectionate Emperor Xianfeng, the beauty of Cixi is irresistible. Although most of the photos of Cixi are dry and wrinkled, it is difficult to see them clearly, but it is speculated that she must be radiant and touching when she was in her twenties and eighties. what do you think?
