Empress Dowager Cixi (Manchu: ᡥᡳᠶᠣᠣᡧᡠᠩᡤᠠᡤᡳᠩᡤᡠᠵᡳᡳᠯᡝᡨᡠᡥᡡᠸᠠᠩᡥᡝᠣ; Möllendorff: hiyoošungga gingguji iletu hūwangheo, Chinese: 慈禧太后; pinyin: Cíxǐ Tàihòu 29 November 1835 – 15 November 1908), of the Manchu Yehe Nara clan, was a Chinese empress dowager and regent who was the de facto supreme ruler of China in the late Qing dynasty for 47 years, from 1861 until her death in 1908. Selected as a concubine of the Xianfeng Emperor in her adolescence, she gave birth to a son, Zaichun, in 1856. After the Xianfeng Emperor's death in 1861, the young boy became the Tongzhi Emperor, and she became the Empress Dowager. Cixi ousted a group of regents appointed by the late emperor and assumed regency, which she shared with Empress Dowager Ci'an. Cixi then consolidated control over the dynasty when she installed her nephew as the Guangxu Emperor at the death of the Tongzhi Emperor in 1875, contrary to the traditional rules of succession of the Qing dynasty that had ruled China since 1644.
