What do you mean ten sheep are incomplete? Why is it related to Cixi? What is the truth?

In fact, the complete proverb should be "nine sheep are not complete, one sits in front of the temple." Many people are a little confused when they first see this proverb. In fact, it is a sign about animals. It's about people who belong to the sheep, and their fate will not be too good. In other words, nine out of ten sheep have a bad fate, but one of them has a good fate and is still rich. In the eyes of the ancients, it is generally believed that people who belong to sheep will not have a complete life, and their families will also be implicated.

In ancient times, due to the concept of son preference, women basically had no status, and women who belonged to sheep were often considered unlucky. Whoever they marry will bring disaster and trouble to their families. With a husband's life, they can easily become widows themselves. So their fate will be miserable, they will be helpless and lonely for the rest of their lives, and finally they will die alone. This is all because of the influence of ancient feudal thought. This foolish view is just a joke today.

The second half of this proverb "sit in front of the temple" means that all sheep have bad fate, but some sheep have good lives, not just good lives, but rich lives. From "sitting in front of the temple", we can easily see that it refers to the front of the main hall of the palace, that is, the hand can become the ruler. Maybe everyone will think it's a bit exaggerated. After all, in history, how many people can become kings? However, in history, there was such a person, a woman, a sheep, who finally held the power of the country. He is the Empress Dowager Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Cixi was born in 1835, which happened to be a sheep. Although Cixi became the ruler in the late Qing Dynasty, people did not have a good impression of it. They believe that she accelerated the demise of the Qing Dynasty. She lives an extremely luxurious life, ignoring the comfort of the country and only caring about her own enjoyment. The people's lives are in dire straits, but he turns a blind eye. So she considered herself a sinner and a failed ruler in the Qing Dynasty. But the fate of Cixi is really good. As a woman, she can finally become the supreme authority of the country. How many people can there be in history?
