The Empress Dowager Cixi never rode in a car, what was the reason?

Because the Empress Dowager Cixi was frightened when she was riding in a car before, and her driver drank alcohol while driving, and as a result, she hit and killed a palace maid, so the Empress Dowager Cixi no longer dared to ride in a car.

This is because the Empress Dowager Cixi felt that the person driving the car was as high as the position she was sitting in, and she thought that such behavior would affect her majesty, so she was reluctant to take the car in the future.

Because the Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't accept the driver to sit and drive, let him drive on his knees, and in the end he almost caused a catastrophe, and since then Cixi has stopped making cars.

Because the Empress Dowager Cixi was arrogant. She closed herself off from the country and never recognized some advanced technologies from abroad. So she doesn't bother to sit in foreign cars.

In the Summer Palace in Beijing, a car is quietly parked, which is the first car to appear in China and is also a car given to the Empress Dowager Cixi. According to this, people call it 'China's first car'

The first is because the driver has to sit in front of the car, and the Empress Cixi, who has the mentality of the queen, is not happy, thinking that it is insulting her identity, and orders the minions who drive to drive on their knees, how is this possible. The second was that a driver made a mistake and almost got into an accident, causing Cixi to be reluctant to ride in the car anymore.

Because the Empress Dowager Cixi once rewarded her driver with wine, and then asked him to drive herself, but the driver was drunk and killed a palace maid, and the tragic situation at that time scared the Empress Dowager Cixi, so she no longer liked to ride in a car.

Because the Empress Dowager Cixi was very feudal, and she still had the thoughts of the ancients, she thought that this kind of thing was not safe. Unacceptable.

Because Cixi wanted to ensure her own safety, and also to keep herself from being disturbed by anyone, so that she could be in a quiet place.

Because the Empress Dowager Cixi belongs to feudal thinking and does not accept new things, there will be these 4 rules.

I once read such a story, and I don't know if it's true or not. It was said that the first time the Empress Dowager Cixi took a car, because the driver was sitting like her, because of the hierarchical concept, the Empress Dowager Cixi thought that he was "on an equal footing" with herself, so she asked him to kneel and drive. Of course, it is not okay to drive on your knees, so the Empress Dowager Cixi did not take the car.

It is true that the driver is driven on his knees, and Cixi is bound by feudal ideas and thinks that the driver is disrespectful to himself when he sits.

It shouldn't be, because you can't drive while kneeling, so the Empress Dowager Cixi shouldn't let him kneel to drive.

Yes. She didn't allow the driver to sit on an equal footing with her, and then she chose to let the palace maid and the eunuch pull the car away.

The first time Cixi took a car, it was really to let the driver kneel to drive, and the Empress Dowager Cixi thought that the driver was just a subordinate and did not deserve to be on an equal footing with her, so she let the driver kneel and drive.

In ancient feudal society, the first time Cixi took a car must have asked the driver to drive on his knees, because if the driver was allowed to sit and drive, then it also meant that he and Cixi were on an equal footing.

The first time Cixi took a car, it was not driven by people on their knees, it was pushed by others, this was the first time she saw such fresh food, and she just wanted to experience it.

What nonsense is this American making up to insult the Chinese and making it into a TV series to eat by itself? It's outrageous. Qing ** and Cixi are feudal and rotten but not stupid, Yu Rongling has been by Cixi's side since he grew up abroad, and the "Qing Palace Trivia" written is clearly recorded, how can the facts not be rumored?

I think it's, didn't Cixi ever ride in a carriage? Isn't the man who drives the carriage in front of the carriage, not sitting in the carriage? Why can't the car.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was shocked when she took the train for the first time, thinking that the train was very noisy, and she was very disgusted with taking the train.

The Empress Dowager Cixi must have been very surprised to take a car or train for the first time, after all, there were very few such advanced things at that time. She stipulated that she must be the first to get on the train, and everyone else in the car must wear eunuch clothes, Cixi thought that she must be a eunuch who served her, otherwise she would be gossiped about by others, including the train driver. And everyone had to stand, including the train driver.
