Empress Dowager Cixi, who is keen on jewelry, is a genuine jade lover. A foreigner once gave her a big diamond. She took a leisurely glance, waved and said, "Go away.
People feel very strange, why this blinding diamond has not been favored by the Queen Mother? Because although it looks good, it doesn't conform to the aesthetics of oriental women at that time. Cixi prefers her own jade collection. Among them, the most popular jewelry for Cixi is jade.
However, Empress Dowager Cixi liked these glamorous jewels very much. It was when Afghanistan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and paid tribute several times. Therefore, I couldn't put it down even more, saying that I would take it away after death and let it be buried with me.
