Empress Dowager Cixi took over the rule of mighty Imperial China in the late 19th century. After her son Tongzhi succeeded his father Emperor Xianfeng, she made herself custodian to the minor emperor on the dragon throne. During audiences she sat behind the curtains and determined what the Chinese ruler would "decide". Following her son's death she then placed her minor nephew Guanxu on the throne. But Cixi's reign was not easy, as the country suffered under oppression by imperial powers and uprisings of its unhappy people. Learn all about the secret Empress Cixi in this episode of IT'S HISTORY.

Empress Dowager Cixi seized power in 1861 and has since ruled the Chinese empire as the regent for several infant emperors, including her nephew, Emperor Guangxu. Now, Guangxu the boy emperor has grown up. He wants to be free from the control and influence of Cixi, his aunt whom he ceremoniously addresses as mother. This clip is from a 2010 historical and political drama, "The Firmament of the Pleiades" (蒼穹之昴). The drama stars Japanese actress Yuko Tanaka (田中裕子) as Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Ruling behind the curtain" (垂簾聽政) is how Empress Dowager Cixi rules over the Chinese empire. She seized power in 1861 and has since acted as the regent for several infant emperors. During an audience, the emperor sits on the throne, behind which Cixi sits, with a curtain separating them. Cixi is behind the curtain because a female cannot get involved in politics in a patriarchy like China. Despite that, Cixi is the de facto ruler of the country; the emperor is just a puppet. And now, Guangxu the boy emperor has grown up. He wants to rule the nation on his own. Conflicts between the emperor and the regent therefore begin.
In this clip, Cixi examines a concubine of the emperor who interferes with government affairs, because the law prohibits females from politics. Ironically, Cixi herself is ruling the country, which could also be considered a political activity.

After Empress Dowager Cixi, who has ruled China for almost a half century, retreats to the Summer Palace, her adopted son, Emperor Guangxu, launches a national reform in hope to better the Chinese empire. However, the reform is aimless and brings about chaos rather than prosperity. Some people then complain to Cixi, asking her to return to the government. Not wanting to become a puppet ruler again, Guangxu plots to detain Cixi, or to kill her if needed. He and his supporters intend to carry out their plan on the Moon Festival night. Like his reform, his coup is unsuccessful. Cixi then takes over the government once again and places Guangxu under house arrest. This event takes place in September 1898.
This clip is from a 2010 historical and political drama, "The Firmament of the Pleiades" (蒼穹之昴). The drama stars Japanese actress Yuko Tanaka (田中裕子) as Empress Dowager Cixi.
Notes: Concubine Zhen usually dresses as a boy. Her husband, Emperor Guangxu, then refers to her as "Zhen Ge" (珍哥), literally meaning "Elder Brother Zhen". But I find more appropriate to translate it as "[my] dearest boy" (when the emperor addresses her with this title). It should be noted also that "zhen" means dearly loved, highly valuable, precious, etc.

Empress dowager (also Dowager Empress or Empress mother) (Chinese: 皇太后; Chinese pinyin: Húang Tài Hòu, Korean pronunciation: Hwang Tae Hu, Japanese pronunciation: Kōtaigō, Vietnamese pronunciation: Hoàng Thái Hậu) was the title given to the mother of a Chinese, Korean, Japanese or Vietnamese emperor.
The title was also given occasionally to another woman of the same generation, while a woman from the previous generation was sometimes given the title of Grand empress dowager. Numerous empress dowagers held regency during the reign of an underage emperor. Many of the most prominent empress dowagers also extended their control for long periods after the emperor was old enough to govern. This was a source of political turmoil according to the traditional view of Chinese history.
The title Dowager Empress was given to the wife of a deceased Emperor of Russia, or of the Holy Roman Emperor.
Queen-Empress Victoria was widowed in 1861, before her accession as Queen-Empress of India. Her son, her grandson and her great-grandson all died before their wives, and their widows were known as empresses dowager in this Indian context. Had George VI, the last Emperor of India, died before the independence of India was proclaimed in 1947, his widow would have been known as the dowager empress of India. However, George VI did not die until 1952, some years after India's formal independence and the renunciation of the title Emperor of India by the British monarch (which took place formally in 1948).

The Concubine is a deathcore band from Tabernacle Township, New Jersey. Formed in 2003, they have since toured with Knife the Glitter, Veil of Maya, Left to Vanish and other similar bands, and have been hailed on metal blogs as an up-and-coming metal band.
The group made their recording debut with a 2004 EP, Maestro, If You Will. Their first full-length album, Abaddon, received mixed reviews.
According to the band's Myspace, The Concubine has disbanded, citing "other interests and careers" as the reason for the break-up.

Shun Gui, a radical nobleman and a favourite of Emperor Guangxu, believes that Empress Dowager Cixi is behind the murder of his master, Yang Xizhen. He then plots to assassinate Cixi out of revenge. But the truth is that Cixi knows nothing about Yang's death. And she believes that the one who is behind her attack is her adopted son, the young emperor Guangxu who wants to rule the country without her influence. Thus, this event only worsens the discord between Cixi and her son, which will lead to the fall of the Qing Empire.

Title: The Empress Dowager 傾國傾城 Year: 1975 Director: Li Han-hsiang 李翰祥 Casts: Lisa Lu 盧燕, Hsiao Yao 蕭瑤, Ti Lung 狄龍 Awards: Golden Horse Awards (1975 -- 12th) : Honourable Mention for Drama (SB), Best Actress (Lisa Lu), Best Colour Art Design (Chen Ching-shen) In five thousand years of Chinese history, there was never a more fascinating woman than the dragon lady of the Ching Dynasty, the Empress Dowager who was the power behind the throne for the last half of the 19th century. The vast tapestry of palace intrigues is vividly brought to the screen in The Empress Dowager, one of director Li Han-hsiang's most lauded motion pictures. Lisa Lu breathes fire and passion into the title role, a performance that won her Taiwan's coveted Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. The cast includes kung-fu superstars Ti Lung and David Chiang, boldly cast as, respectively, the emperor and the treacherous eunuch sent by the dowager to serve as her spy. Rounding out the stellar lineup is Ivy Ling Po as the young empress, a lady detested by the aged dowager. The sumptuous costumes and sets won a Golden Horse for Best Colour Art Design, and the film was further awarded a statue for Honourable Mention for Drama.

Not wanting to become a puppet ruler again, Guangxu plots to detain Cixi, or to kill her if needed. He and his supporters intend to carry out their plan on the Moon Festival night. Like his reform, his coup is unsuccessful. Cixi then takes over the government once again and places Guangxu under house arrest. This event takes place in September 1898. This clip is from a 2010 historical and political drama, "The Firmament of the Pleiades" ... -
[Eng sub] Empress Dowager Cixi is attacked by a suicide bombing
Shun Gui, a radical nobleman and a favourite of Emperor Guangxu, believes that Empress Dowager Cixi is behind the murder of his master, Yang Xizhen. He then plots to assassinate Cixi out of revenge. But the truth is that Cixi knows nothing about Yang's death. And she believes that the one who is behind her attack is her adopted son, the young emperor Guangxu who wants to rule the country without her influence. Thus, this event only worsens the discord between Cixi and her son, which will lead to the fall of the Qing Empire. This clip is from a 2010 historical and political drama, "The Firmament of the Pleiades" (蒼穹之昴). The drama stars Japanese actress Yuko Tanaka (田中裕子) as Empress Dowager Cixi. -

Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine Who Launched Modern China
Empress Dowager Cixi (1835--1908) is the most important woman in Chinese history. She ruled China for decades and brought a medieval empire into the modern age. At the age of sixteen, in a nationwide selection for royal consorts, Cixi was chosen as one of the emperor's numerous concubines. When he died in 1861, their five-year-old son succeeded to the throne. Cixi at once launched a palace coup against the regents appointed by her husband and made herself the real ruler of China—behind the throne, literally, with a silk screen separating her from her officials who were all male. In this groundbreaking biography, Jung Chang vividly describes how Cixi fought against monumental obstacles to change China. Under her the ancient country attained virtually all the attributes of a modern state: i... -

"Ruling behind the curtain" (垂簾聽政) is how Empress Dowager Cixi rules over the Chinese empire. She seized power in 1861 and has since acted as the regent for several infant emperors. During an audience, the emperor sits on the throne, behind which Cixi sits, with a curtain separating them. Cixi is behind the curtain because a female cannot get involved in politics in a patriarchy like China. Despite that, Cixi is the de facto ruler of the country; the emperor is just a puppet. And now, Guangxu the boy emperor has grown up. He wants to rule the nation on his own. Conflicts between the emperor and the regent therefore begin.
In this clip, Cixi examines a concubine of the emperor who interferes with government affairs, because the law prohibits females from politics. Ironically, Cixi herself is ruling the country, which could also be considered a political activity.

Notes: Concubine Zhen usually dresses as a boy. Her husband, Emperor Guangxu, then refers to her as "Zhen Ge" (珍哥), literally meaning "Elder Brother Zhen". But I find more appropriate to translate it as "[my] dearest boy" (when the emperor addresses her with this title). It should be noted also that "zhen" means dearly loved, highly valuable, precious, etc.

Empress Dowager Cixi was effectively the ruler of the Great Qing Empire from 1861 to 1908. A daughter of the Manchu Yehe Nara Clan, was began as the concubine of Emperor Xianfeng and rose to prominence when her son succeeded him as Emperor Tongzhi during whose minority she took power from the regents. In 1875 she put her nephew Emperor Guangxu on the throne but continued to dominate affairs. She presided over the disastrous defeat in the Boxer Rebellion and after years of hesitation began to enact political reforms along with the modernization program she had enacted long before. It was insufficient to save the dynasty but she lived long enough to choose her nephew, Aisin-Gioro Pu-Yi, to become the last Emperor of China.

Empress Dowager Cixi (Chinese: 慈禧太后; pinyin: Cíxǐ Tàihòu; Wade-Giles: Tz'u-Hsi T'ai-hou) (29 November 1835 -- 15 November 1908), of the Manchu Yehe Nara Clan, was a powerful and charismatic figure who became the de facto ruler of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in China for 47 years from 1861 to her death in 1908.
Selected by the Xianfeng Emperor as a concubine in her adolescence, she climbed the ranks of Xianfeng's harem and gave birth to a son who became the Tongzhi Emperor upon Xianfeng's death. Cixi ousted a group of regents appointed by the late emperor and assumed regency over her young son with the Empress Dowager Ci'an. Cixi then consolidated control and established near-absolute rule over the dynasty. She installed her nephew as the Guangxu Emperor in 1875. A conservative ruler who refused to adopt Western models of government, Cixi rejected reformist views and placed Guangxu under house arrest in later years for supporting reformers. However, after a humiliating clash with the Eight-Nation Alliance, external and internal pressures led Cixi to attempt institutional changes and appoint reform-minded officials. Ultimately, the Qing Dynasty collapsed a few years after her death.
Historians from both Kuomintang and Communist backgrounds have generally portrayed her as a despot and villain responsible for the fall of the Qing Dynasty, but in recent years professional historians have suggested that she was a scapegoat for problems beyond her control, a leader no more ruthless than others, and in fact an effective if reluctant reformer in the last years of her life.

Empress Dowager Cixi (1835--1908) is the most important woman in Chinese history. She ruled China for decades and brought a medieval empire into the modern age.
At the age of sixteen, in a nationwide selection for royal consorts, Cixi was chosen as one of the emperor's numerous concubines. When he died in 1861, their five-year-old son succeeded to the throne. Cixi at once launched a palace coup against the regents appointed by her husband and made herself the real ruler of China—behind the throne, literally, with a silk screen separating her from her officials who were all male.
In this groundbreaking biography, Jung Chang vividly describes how Cixi fought against monumental obstacles to change China. Under her the ancient country attained virtually all the attributes of a modern state: industries, railways, electricity, the telegraph, and an army and navy with up-to-date weaponry. It was she who abolished gruesome punishments like "death by a thousand cuts" and put an end to foot-binding. She inaugurated women's liberation and embarked on the path to introduce parliamentary elections to China. Chang comprehensively overturns the conventional view of Cixi as a diehard conservative and cruel despot.
Based on newly available, mostly Chinese, historical documents such as court records, official and private correspondence, diaries and eyewitness accounts, this biography will revolutionize historical thinking about a crucial period in China's—and the world's—history. Packed with drama, fast paced and gripping, it is both a panoramic depiction of the birth of modern China and an intimate portrait of a woman: as the concubine to a monarch, as the absolute ruler of a third of the world's population, and as a unique stateswoman.
