The Empress Dowager Cixi, a Powerful Ruler of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Poses with Her Attendants in Front of Paiyunmen at the Summer Palace in Beijing
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a significant moment in Chinese history. The Empress Dowager Cixi, an influential and charismatic woman, stands proudly alongside her attendants in front of the majestic Paiyunmen gate at the Summer Palace in Beijing. Cixi's reign lasted an impressive 47 years, from 1861 until her death in 1908. Unofficially but effectively controlling the Manchu Qing Dynasty, she was known for her autocratic rule and powerful presence within Chinese government. In this image, we see Cixi surrounded by her loyal entourage. From left to right: Second Chief Eunuch Cui Yugui, Empress Longyu, Junshou (a high-ranking official), Princess Der Ling (Deling), Rongling (another princess), Fourth Princess Yuanda Nainai, Lily (possibly another attendant or lady-in-waiting), and Louisa Pierson (Lady Yugeng). The attire worn by each figure reflects traditional Chinese dress of that era. The architectural beauty of Paiyunmen serves as a stunning backdrop to this historic gathering. This photograph is not only a testament to the power and influence of Empress Dowager Cixi but also provides us with a glimpse into China's rich cultural heritage during the late 19th century.
