Xiaozhuang, who was snubbed by Huang Taiji, why did she enter the political arena, and who supported

Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-25

Xiaozhuang, whose real name is Borzigit Bumubutai, was originally a princess of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia, and later the concubine of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty. Because he was not favored in the harem, he was excluded to the end of the five concubines, so he was snubbed by Huang Taiji.

So, why did Xiaozhuang counterattack her life, or who supported her, stepped onto the political stage of the patriarchal society, and finally became a pivotal political figure in the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties?

For this point, many studies and commentaries believe that Xiaozhuang does not rely only on the support of individual people, but is the result of a combination of factors.

1. Family background: Xiaozhuang was born in a Mongolian aristocratic family, and her aunt, Zhezhe, was the concubine of Huang Taiji, and the family's marriage relationship and political influence provided her with a solid foundation.

2. Political marriage: Xiaozhuang's marriage to Huang Taiji was a political marriage, which made the Mongolian Horqin tribe to which she belonged establish close ties with the Qing Dynasty royal family on the one hand, and occupy an important position in the ruling structure of the Qing Dynasty on the other hand.

3. Palace struggle: After the death of Huang Taiji, there was a fierce power struggle within the Qing court. Hyozhuang showed great political wisdom and skill in this struggle, and succeeded in winning the throne for himself and his son Fulin.

Fourth, the support of children and grandchildren: After Xiaozhuang's son Fulin (Emperor Shunzhi) succeeded to the throne, her status as the empress dowager naturally rose. Later, her grandson, Emperor Kangxi, succeeded to the throne, and Xiaozhuang continued to exert influence behind the scenes as the imperial grandmother.

5. Social and cultural background: In the feudal society at that time, the status and influence of women were often closely related to the status of their sons or husbands. As the mother and grandmother of Emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi, Xiaozhuang's status naturally rose.

6. Personal ability: Xiaozhuang, who has wisdom, courage and agility, can remain calm and wise in a complex and changeable political environment, and has been particularly prominent and sophisticated in his later political career.

Through the above, it is not difficult to see that Xiaozhuang can enter the political arena, although there are so many factors, but it only plays an auxiliary role, only Xiaozhuang's personal wisdom and ability, hard work, is a decisive role, is an important factor in her success.

Therefore, as a woman in the new era, we should inspire the confidence and courage to work hard, struggle, forge ahead, and realize the value of our life based on the precious inspiration of filial piety.

I believe that through continuous learning, self-improvement and positive action, the majority of female friends can achieve excellent results in their respective fields, make due contributions to the country and society, and demonstrate the great "female spirit".
