? Some people say that the ghost trace of this painting and calligraphy is quite obvious, and such a huge figure looks vigorous and powerful, which is not allowed by her calligraphy skill or physical strength.
It is said that there are many representatives of Empress Dowager Cixi, except Miao Suyun, a famous talented woman in the late Qing Dynasty, as well as Ruan and Qu, who often painted pine trees, cranes, ganoderma lucidum and bats for her.
An important function of Cixi's painting and calligraphy is to reward heroes. Every New Year's Day and Spring Festival, a batch of paintings and calligraphy will be distributed. Because of the large quantity, I found a ghostwriter and finally signed and sealed it.
There is a saying: Cixi likes painting plum blossoms in her fifties, fish and peonies in her sixties, and pines in her later years. These themes can reflect the changes of Cixi's mood. However, judging from the works on display this time, all kinds of themes were created in different eras.
