There were 408 emperors in ancient China, and there was a province that never had an emperor, is your hometown?
There were 408 emperors in ancient China, and they came from different regions and had bloodlines all over the country.
But apart from Shandong, Shandong is the only province in the country that has not had an emperor, and it is also the only incredible place in ancient history where there has been almost no rebellion.
Shandong did not appear because of the emperor.
When it comes to Shandong, people will first think of Confucius, who made Shandong not have an emperor.
Confucius was a representative of Confucianism and devoted his life to the restoration of the Zhou rites. In his later years, he finally succeeded in restoring the Zhou rites and recruiting a wide range of disciples, preaching and teaching to solve doubts.
Due to the large number of Confucius, he had a profound influence on the local ideology and culture of Shandong. Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty proposed"Abolish a hundred schools of thought, and respect Confucianism", which raised the status of Confucianism.
After the Han Dynasty, other ruling groups also continued to improve the status of Confucius, and even made Confucianism the main subject of the imperial examination, so that Confucius's ideas were firmly rooted in the blood of the Chinese nation.
As the birthplace of Confucius, Shandong was more influenced by Confucianism than other places, and Confucianism and culture became the norms of life for Shandong people.
The ideological concepts advocated by Confucianism, such as the concept of monarch and minister, father and son, etc., have left a deep imprint in the hearts of Shandong people and played an immeasurable role in the formation of Shandong people's three views.
Influenced by this, Shandong people are very loyal and patriotic to the monarch and attach importance to etiquette.
There is the spirit of enjoying the king's fortune and the idea of taking care of the king, Shandong people will not participate in riots, rebellions and other rebellious acts, so there are not many emperors in Shandong, and the reason why the emperor appears in **.
After all, to be an emperor you have to overthrow another emperor, which, according to the Shandong people, is a great rebellion.
And the establishment of a dynasty requires strong vitality and perseverance, and it takes about ten thousand bones to succeed, and Confucianism advocates it"Benevolence and righteousness"Shandong people, who believe in courtesy, righteousness, wisdom and faith, and are deeply influenced by Confucianism, lack the spiritual quality of Mount Tai collapsing in front of them and not changing their faces.
An empress without an emperor.
Although Shandong does not have an emperor, it is easy to produce an empress.
The empress is the emperor's wife, and since the appearance of the emperor by Qin Shi Huang, there have been many queens in the history of this place in Shandong, and there are many other places.
The first queen in history, Lu Qian, was a native of Shandong. Lv Hou was the wife of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and her ancestral home was Shanxian County, Shandong Province (now Panzhuang, Zhenxing City, Shanxian County, Shandong Province).
In the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun ascended the throne and set up a Shandong woman Xu Pingjun as the queen, while the queens of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Empress Fu and Empress Bian were respectively from Zhucheng and Lanshan in Shandong.
During the Jin Dynasty, Yang Xianrong, a native of Shandong, was twice made empress. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, due to the Sima clan's claim to be emperor, Shandong had the most empresses, with 36, including the famous Langya Wang.
The Langya Wang family is an aristocratic family in Langya County, Shandong. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, many emperors and generals came from the Langya Wang family, so it was circulated among the people"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning"said.
During the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji, the empress of Ming Xianzong, was also from Shandong.
These Shandong queens were not only princes, but also very intelligent and brave.
For example, Empress Fu dared to rebel when Cao Cao held her hostage.
Empress Xuan of the Ming Dynasty not only assisted Emperor Chenghua, but also correctly dealt with the negative impact of Tunpu and the city gate, greatly delayed the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and played a stabilizing role in the political and economic development at that time.
It seems that Shandong is really a good place for talents.
The emperor came from **.
Historically, emperors have come from many different places, but most of them were from Shaanxi, which is also confirmed"Three Qin out of the emperor"The old saying.
Xi'an is the hometown of many emperors, and it also has another name - Chang'an. King Wen of Zhou built his capital here, and Xi'an was the capital of many dynasties.
How many emperors came to Shaanxi from Xi'an?
The Western Zhou, Qin, Western Han, Sui and Tang, Western Wei, and Northern Zhou dynasties were all born in Xi'an. Although there is no exact number, it can be seen that the number of emperors must be quite a lot, and it can even be said that some emperors created influential dynasties such as the Western Zhou, Qin, Western Han, and Tang dynasties, and they were able to produce many people.
Although Nanjing, Jiangsu and Luoyang, Henan also produced many emperors, they were still fewer in number than Xi'an, Shaanxi, but compared with Shandong, where no emperor had ever been out, Nanjing and Luoyang were still very good.
With the collapse of feudalism, the words emperor and empress never appeared again in later Chinese history.
Shandong people, as always, protect the hearts of their descendants, respect etiquette, be loyal to the country, and inherit the noble spirit and quality of their ancestors, and we hope that Shandong people will carry forward this spirit.
