Zhou Dynasty: Under the whole world, it is not a king; The shore of the leader is not the king's minister

From the meaning of the "Book of Songs": Every inch of land in the whole world, there is no land that is not a king. There is no one in the four seas who is not a vassal of the king. The original intention was to complain about the grievances made by working on the king's affairs, which means that the world is so big, and there are kings and ministers in the four seas, and the doctor's distribution of labor is unfair, but I am the only one who works so hard for the affairs of the state. This sentence has become a declaration of the ruler's domineering spirit in the four seas.

Qin Dynasty: Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity

After Qin Shi Huang dominated the world, he made a jade seal, which was called the jade seal of the country in later generations. The inscription written by Li Si: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity". Although there are only eight characters, it shows the orthodox concept to the fullest, the first four characters show the majesty of the Son of Heaven, reflecting the implication of the divine and inviolable imperial power, and the last four characters reflect the vision of the emperor's eternal Zuo, as well as the wishes of the Great Qin Dynasty for prosperity for thousands of generations.

Western Han Dynasty: Kou can go, I can also go

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che intended to take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, at that time the strength of the Han Dynasty was enough to defeat the Xiongnu, but some Wenchen in the court objected, thinking that the barbarian land, the chance of winning the expedition was not great. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said this sentence, aiming to tell some people who opposed the expedition: do not grow the enemy's ambition and destroy their own prestige, and at the same time warn the court that the whole court must work together to pacify the Xiongnu.

Western Han Dynasty: The sun and the moon shine, they are all Han people, and the water of the rivers is all Han Chen

The era of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was the most powerful time of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty at this time was in good weather, the four seas were peaceful, and the economy was unprecedentedly prosperous. It was at this time that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty promulgated the Book of Han, which read, "The sun and the moon shine, all are Han people, and the water of the rivers is all Han Chen." ”

It means that as long as there is the sun, the moon, the Yangtze River, and the Yellow River, they are all the territory of the Han people, and no one will object!

Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms: Waiyi, anyone who dares to call himself a soldier will be killed

This sentence is written by Ran Min, the king of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Wei Wu, and the Heavenly King of Ran Min.

Tang Dynasty: Since ancient times, China has been noble, cheap and cheap, and I love it as one

If he is his parent, then he can do something to him, that is, whether he is from the Central Plains or Siyi, he must listen to him, otherwise he will go to war with him.

It can be said that the most domineering words are said in the gentlest tone.

Song Dynasty: On the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore

From the "Continuation of the Governance of Tongjian", the background is that at that time, the Song Dynasty had successively destroyed Jingnan, Hunan, Houshu and other countries, ready to move to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin first summoned Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to Bianjing to meet, Li Yu was afraid of being detained, so he sent Xu Xuan to Bianjing to sue for peace.

Ming Dynasty: not a minister, not a relative, no tribute; The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies

In all dynasties, it seems that the Ming Dynasty has really achieved the Ming Dynasty if it does not rely on national policies such as being a minister and paying tribute and being friendly in exchange for ***.

The most embodying the magnanimity of the Qing Dynasty is Qianlong's "neither forcibly taking an inch of land from other countries, nor taking an inch of land lightly from others for no reason". It is also a state that shows the Chinese temperament and thousands of years of etiquette, neither taking the initiative to bully people, but also never letting people bully, but that's all.
