What is the origin of the name of the Old Summer Palace s Heaven and Earth Family Spring ?

No intentions, purelyCixiThe personal preference of the Queen Mother. When the Empress Dowager Cixi was a show girl when she first entered the palace, the name of her residence was called "Heaven and Earth Family Spring". At that time, it was very likely that the show girl would never see the emperor for the rest of her life.

So in order to attract the attention of the emperor, Cixi made every effort.

First of all, she bribed those eunuchs and people around the emperor everywhere to find out the emperor's news and the emperor's actions, and through the people around the emperor, she learned that the emperor liked to listen to the opera very much. Empress Dowager Cixi is a southerner, the opera in the south is different from the opera in the north, she herself is very good at opera, so she has a plan in mind, she practiced drama in her residence "Heaven and Earth Family Spring", and practiced for two whole years.

Emperor Xianfeng. is a northerner, and he has basically never been to the south since he was born, so the operas he is exposed to are also in the heroic style of the north. Then one day he went to the Old Summer Palace.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of opera coming from the garden. He had never heard this kind of opera sound before, so he was immediately attracted to it as soon as he heard it. Following the sound, he saw Cixi singing and dancing alone by the lake, Emperor Xianfeng was very happy, so he asked the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was still a show girl, to bring him to him.

That night, Emperor Xianfeng pampered this show girl. Through this incident, it can be seen that the Empress Dowager Cixi is a very scheming person.

For a long time, the Empress Dowager Cixi was the most favored woman of Emperor Xianfeng. Until Cixi conceived a child and gave birth to a dragon son.

At one time, she became the most powerful woman in the harem. And she is very nostalgic, very nostalgic for the first residence she lived in. I even fell in love with the words "heaven and earth, one spring".

She deliberately engraved these words on a seal, and often stamped them wherever she liked. Later, the Empress Dowager Cixi became the de facto ruler of the Qing Dynasty, and this hobby became a way for her to relax her daily life. Therefore, in the Old Summer Palace, you can see "heaven and earth are one spring" everywhere.

Reasons: 1. The spring of the heaven and earth family is the place where Cixi was first pampered, so she has a soft spot.

2. From many places, it can be found that Cixi loves her husband very much, so this is a spiritual sustenance.

I saw a blogger who said that it was because the Empress Dowager Cixi was appreciated by Emperor Xianfeng in the Spring Palace of Heaven and Earth, and I didn't know anything else and didn't dare to say anything.

It is the place where Cixi was favored by Emperor Xianfeng, and it is also to express her eternal nostalgia for this birthplace.
