Empress Dowager Zhao, born in 1849, is the daughter of Minister Zuo and Zhong Xiang. Because at that time, a beautiful child got the common problem of children in Qing Dynasty, which was malnutrition. Because the food is too fine, the intake of trace elements such as protein is seriously insufficient. Therefore, in order to recuperate the body of the malnourished witch, a family often lets the witch eat fish and eggs, only to find that this dietary intake makes the witch's intellectual development far superior to that of her peers. Not only is her memory amazing, her appearance charming, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is excellent in tea ceremony, floral art, flower drum and piano song. How can such an excellent Miko not be tempted by Meiji? He also called a beautiful son "Tiangouniang".
After Miko married Meiji, she imitated the grandson of Emperor Taizong of China, not only helped the national government, but also opened a new girls' school. Although the witch was educated by Confucianism since childhood, she was quite open-minded after boiling, and there were many female officials and aristocratic children were also sissy at that time. Therefore, the royal family decided to correct the weak royal style for many years through education, and the witch played the most important role. Empress Dowager Zhao was also very enthusiastic about the activities of the Red Cross, and regarded Ryoma Sakamoto as the god of the navy, leaving 30,000 peace songs.
Empress Dowager Zhao is a famous woman in Japanese history. She is not only the queen of Meiji Emperor, but also a new woman in Meiji Restoration, which has played a certain role in promoting the development of Japan. So, what is Empress Dowager Zhao's achievement?
First of all, Empress Dowager Zhao followed the example of the grandson of Emperor Taizong and helped the National Government. Empress Dowager Zhao is different from Empress Dowager Cixi in China. She has always kept the kind of deliberate avoidance of politics as a constitutional queen, because she was influenced by Confucianism since she was a child and prevented women from stepping onto the political front, but she can seize the opportunity to help her husband politically at any time and anywhere. If Meiji does something wrong, the witch will still persuade her in the future. When the emperor can't save face, the witch will come forward to repair the relationship. Of course, the witch always pays attention to maintaining her husband's Meiji image, especially when Zhi Ming puts on airs.
Secondly, Empress Dowager Zhao also initiated a new type of women's education. In this royal education movement, Zhao Xian always played a vanguard role. Miko not only invited tsuda umeko, a female student studying abroad, to give lectures in the palace, but also personally presided over the establishment of "China Girls' School" and Tokyo Women's Normal School, which enabled the new Japanese women's education to be carried out. Finally, Empress Dowager Zhao is also very enthusiastic about the activities of the Red Cross.
After the Southwest War, influenced by the enthusiastic activities of the western royal family, Queen Miko also showed great enthusiasm for the Red Cross. Under the impetus of the royal family, the organization of Pok Oi Society (the predecessor of the Red Cross) quickly spread all over Japan, and Pok Oi Society began to further communicate with the International Red Cross. 19 12, Miko also donated 654.38 million yen to the International Red Cross in the name of Empress Dowager Cixi, and established the "Empress Dowager Zhao Fund".
