In ancient history, after the death of emperors and ministers, their lives were often evaluated by their nicknames. According to the record of "Yi Zhou Shu and Interpretation of the Law", "can think about the people and say the yuan, the righteousness and the people say the yuan, the founding of the country is the yuan, and the doctrine is the yuan." That is, in the nickname, "Yuan" is a good word. In this context, the emperor who was nicknamed "Yuan" in history, in addition to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, there were other remarkable figures.
Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty, born when Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was a commoner, became the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty. Although he was physically frail and sickly, he was talented in literature, music, and rhythm, and was full of love for Confucianism. However, due to his frail health, he handed over the government to the eunuch Shi Xian and others, resulting in the eunuch group taking power. During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he "taught pure morality" and used a large number of Confucianism, which promoted the road of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty.
However, Liu Zheng showed relative inefficiency in governing the world, which led to chaos in the government and frequent natural and man-made disasters, which made the Western Han Dynasty gradually decline. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty died of illness in the first year of Jingning (33 years ago) in Chang'an Weiyang Palace, known as Emperor Xiaoyuan, and the temple name was Gaozong. Although his life was full of literary and artistic brilliance, he also faced historical injustice due to the difficulty of governing the country.
Emperor Sima Rui of the Jin Yuan Dynasty was the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he relied on Wang Dao, Wang Dun and other scholars to successfully establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, compared to powerful warriors such as Wang Dao, Sima Rui is relatively weak. During his reign, he relied mainly on the support of the nobles, resulting in a relatively unstable political position.
During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Jin Dynasty, although he managed to appease the local nobles and quell some local unrest, his performance in governing the country as a whole was relatively weak. He became emperor in the first year of Taixing (318), changed to Taixing, and became the leader of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, due to internal and external troubles, he died of grief in Jiankang City, and was called Emperor Yuan, and the temple was called Zhongzong. Although the life of Emperor Jin Yuan was an important historical role in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it also seemed ethereal and turbulent.
Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan was the second emperor of Southern Liang. As the seventh son of Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, who was originally a concubine and had a physical disability, was originally unable to take the throne. However, after the outbreak of Hou Jing's rebellion, he succeeded in ascending to the throne through clever strategies.
In the process of guarding Jiangling, Xiao Yi skillfully eliminated his brother and nephew who posed a threat to his ascension to the throne. He waited until his father and other potential competitors had been eliminated before he sent troops to the king. However, during his reign, Xiao Yi connected with Yuwentai of Western Wei and attacked each other with the sons of Emperor Wu of Liang, leading to internal turmoil in Southern Liang. In the end, after the Western Wei Dynasty captured Jiangling, Xiao Yi was killed and called Emperor Yuan, ending his dangerous path to the throne.
Emperor Tuoba of the Ming Yuan Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was the second emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. During his reign, he paid attention to the selection of talents and talents, which made some Han scholars enter the imperial court and promote the prosperity of the imperial government. Tuoba is not only wise and generous, but also both civil and military, courteous and loving Confucianism, liking Huang Lao and worshipping Buddhism.
During his reign, he successfully conquered Rouran and Ding Ling in the north, Northern Yan in the east, and Liu Song in the south, and won a series of wars. However, in the seventh year of Taichang (422), Tuoba died of illness, depriving the Northern Wei Dynasty of a virtuous lord. He was called Emperor Mingyuan and Taizong in the temple, which became a huge loss in the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Looking at history, although the "Yuan" emperor has brilliance, he cannot escape the turmoil of the times. They may be outstanding in literature and music, or relatively weak in politics, but they have become a part of their respective historical periods that cannot be ignored.
