Chapter 1844 The country name is only one word, but there are many
Indeed, when Xiao Tang convened some important leaders again for a secret discussion, the content that needed to be discussed in detail was already the emperor's title, country title, reign title and other matters during the founding of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. Then naturally, civil and military titles were awarded based on merit.
All the heroes who founded the country.
As for the emperor's title, the only thing that needs to be considered is the title of the person who was in power during his lifetime (posthumous title, temple title, and other titles that are added after death... Of course, Xiao Tang, who is still alive and kicking, does not need to consider it), for example, "Kaiyuan Saint"
"Emperor Wen Shenwu", "Great Sage Ming Xiao Emperor", "Holy Mother God Emperor" (Wu Zetian), "Emperor Yingtian Shenlong"... and are used for state affairs and diplomatic relations, memorial etiquette, offering sacrifices to heaven, etc. after death.
There is no need to avoid taboos, and it is not fixed. You can add titles at any time, and even ordinary people can call him. There is also Zhao Ji who is obsessed with Taoism and claims to be the leader of Taoism. After all, it is a title for show. But this is not the case.
Xiao Tang, who taught that later generations used to call kings by their temple names and reign names, always felt a little awkward and seemed to be full of second-guessing...
After the emperor died, he was called Taizu, Gaozu, Wendi, Wudi, Aidi, Renzong, Xuanzong, Xizong... and other temple names according to the special names given when he established a house and worshiped in the Ancestral Temple. To a certain extent, they also represented the later dynasties.
Of course, even the emperor himself did not know the evaluation of the emperor's virtues, political achievements, and deeds by future generations. If he was still an official in the Song Dynasty, Xiao Tang would say in front of Zhao Ji, "That guy from Huizong is a spoiled brat."
, muddled and unexamined, bullshit.” If Zhao Ji could not protect him, he would have to ask with a smile: “Who is Aiqing calling? Why are you scolding him?”…
As for the country name and the era name. In fact, for some reason, as far as Xiao Tang is concerned, the era name has always been for the Ming Dynasty Lao Zhu and his father Hongwu.
Bahuang, after the founding of the country, it was necessary to use civilized governance, or to teach the country to live happily and peacefully. The meaning of this made sense. However, after thinking about it, Xiao Tang decided to think about it differently. After all, it involved trying to promote the beginning of an era.
, Xiao Tang also hoped that this country would have no other dynasties that he recognized, and it would not necessarily last forever, but it would also be more beneficial to future generations of Chinese people living in this fertile soil of China.
Precious positive impact.
However, deciding on a country name has become the most troublesome issue for Xiaotang at the moment. Because this is definitely not a decision that can be made with a slap on the forehead, or a decision that can be made at will. The choice of dynasty and country name can only be determined by a single word.
Behind the scenes, there are many influences and problems involved.
The name of a country's sovereign power will also represent the historical symbol of an era, and the system will usually follow the feudal jurisdiction, the place of origin, the meaning of prophecy, the surname of the founder, respect for inheritance, etc.
.
However, in addition to this, there is another inheritance that is crucial when drafting a country's name, and the conditions must be met as much as possible. For example, according to the rise and fall of orthodox dynasties, such as "The first Qin gained water virtue, and the Han Dynasty received it."
, push the end to the beginning, then the Han Dynasty should be the country, and the country should be the Huanglongjian, so the country controls the water, the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty" theory, if we want to complete the unification according to culture and territory, we must ultimately use the destruction of the Song Dynasty as our future strategy
The general policy is that when the dynasties alternate between the five elements and the five virtues, it is like "the five elements in the Song Dynasty belong to wood, Mongolia destroyed the Song Dynasty, and metal defeated wood; the five elements in the Yuan Dynasty belonged to metal, and the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, and fire defeated metal; the five elements in the Ming Dynasty belonged to fire
, the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, water conquered fire"...The word chosen for the country's name must be considered to be gold according to the five elements. In some cases, Xiao Tang would certainly choose to consider the possibility of innovation, but
Even if you choose the so-called correct innovation in the wrong period, it will often be counterproductive or even bring disaster to yourself. But in today's era, if you want to conform to the people of the world and believe that you are obeying the heaven and the people, this kind of national important matter can be followed.
It must also be followed.
Among them, the country title was established according to the surname of the founder. In history, except for Han Qian, Zhao Ji, and Wei Si, after they destroyed the influence of the other three ministers, they were finally recognized by the Zhou Dynasty and divided into the Jin Dynasty and the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei, as well as the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Chen Ba first usurped the throne of Nanliang and then simply and crudely named the country Chen. However, this method was excluded from consideration by Xiao Tang for the first time. Not to mention that the title of Xiao Dynasty was a bit weird, how did the people call it Xiao Kingdom?
Xiao Ren? Why does he sound so like a villain from a small country...
As for the way of following the semantics of the prophecy... It seems that the Khitan people established the Liao Dynasty because Liao means "iron" in the Khitan language, which means that the country is as strong as iron, and Wanyan Agu was born to be on the head of the Liao Kingdom, taking "
The Liao Dynasty took the name "iron" from the name "iron", which means "iron is strong, but it will eventually deteriorate, but gold does not." The name of the country was gold. Later, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty took the name of their country from the Book of Changes.
Dazai Qianyuan means, and because the Mongolian "Dai Qing" is called a good warrior, and because the five elements of the Ming Dynasty, water can belong to fire, the country was named the Qing Dynasty... In addition to inheriting the title of the old master, Hong
The factions of Jin Ming Sect, with the exception of the Ming Dynasty, which was founded for many reasons such as the Xuanming Yuan Dynasty in the north according to the Five Elements Zhu Ming restraint, are almost all regimes established based on the ruling class of ethnic minorities.
However, in today's time, the title of the state is still inconsistent with the orthodox system of dynastic changes in the Central Plains. Therefore, according to Xiao and Tang thinking, if one is committed to creating a unified and powerful dynasty, it must still conform to the civilization of the Han nation.
The tradition passed down by all dynasties since ancient times was to formulate the country name according to the meaning of prophecies, which was also excluded from the scope of selection.
As for respecting inheritance, most of the founders respected Zhou rites, such as the Northern Zhou established by Yu Wenjue of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Wu Zhou established by Wu Zetian after changing the Tang Dynasty, and the Later Zhou established by Guo Wei in the Five Dynasties... Liu Yuan, a Huns in the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the Five Dynasties
Liu Zhiyuan of the Shatuo tribe established Han-Zhao (first called King of Han, later changed the country's name to Zhao, and was called Qian Zhao in history) in the name of the descendants of the Han Dynasty and the surname Fu Han, the founder of the Han Dynasty Liu Bang. Later Han...Zhou
This word can also be considered within the scope of Xiao Tang. However, although he is a son of the Han family, his consciousness when he came to this world is attached to the descendants of the Liao people who moved south to the Song Dynasty, so he still respects the inheritance and inheritance.
The name of the country was Liao? It changed from Yelu Liao Dynasty to Xiao Liao... It is extremely inconsistent with the idea that Xiao and Tang followed the orthodox dynasty inheritance system of the Central Plains and continued to use the Han system to name dynasties. This is just an effective way.
In order to win over the Yelu clan members, the old Khitan tribe and the surrendered ministers of the previous dynasty in the old Liao Dynasty, but in addition to this benefit, the demise of the Liao Kingdom has not been very long ago. Will the old dynasty be restored? So even thinking about it
Without thinking too much, he was directly eliminated by Xiao Tang.
So let’s consider it from the aspects of the title and the place of origin. In the early years of Xiaotang, the Song Dynasty was named the founding marquis of Henghai County, and Henghai County belonged to Cangzhou. In ancient times, the territory of Cangzhou belonged to the Xing State in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
It belongs to the State of Jin, and during the Warring States Period it belonged to the State of Zhao... Therefore, the three characters Xing, Jin, and Zhao are also among the choices for the country name; and Xiao Tang now occupies the land of Yanyun and regains Yanjing, so he intends to proclaim himself emperor.
, will also be the place where the center of power is located, and the Chinese character "Yan" can be used as the country's name; and the Xiao Tang Dynasty originally gathered in Qingzhou Erlong Mountain, and Jeju Water Pond Liangshan. Although they gathered green forest soldiers and horses, they have now fought against the Jinlu.
The place where the rebels who resisted the tyranny of the Song Dynasty came from, Qingzhou was originally owned by Qi in ancient times. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it all belonged to Qi. Earlier, when the Qin Dynasty implemented the county system, Qi County was established here; most of the territory of Jezhou is connected with the Spring and Autumn Period.
During the Warring States Period, it belonged to the State of Lu, and later it also belonged to the State of Song, and was once taken over by the State of Qi. So in addition to the Song Dynasty, which has the same name as the current Zhao Dynasty, there are also the two characters Qi and Lu, which can also be considered
Within the chosen country name.
Therefore, in addition to Xiao Tang's own considerations, the civil and military ministers who were summoned to discuss the matter cited scriptures and discussed proposals within two or three hours. The final choice of the country's name was basically determined to be between Yan and Qi.
, choose one of the seven characters Lu, Xing, Jin, Zhao, and Zhou.
