Features: When it comes to the Qing Dynasty, one cannot fail to mention the Manchu people who established it. Among China's 56 ethnic groups, the Manchu are a unique and exceptionally remarkable ethnic group with a special history. In the past, people have not paid enough attention to the history of the Manchu people and the material and spiritual wealth they created, leading to some Manchus having little knowledge of their own ethnic history and culture. This book takes the fates of twelve imperial consorts and empresses during the Qing Dynasty as a starting point, revealing their experiences and the direct or indirect roles they played in the course of history. Among the twelve imperial consorts and empresses chosen for this book, in addition to the Xiaozhuang Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Cixi, who are closely linked to the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty, it also describes the life of Empress Wu Lala, who left her mark during Nurhaci's founding of the state, a life both legendary and tragically intense.
