Give an example of the names of two emperors from each dynasty from the Sui Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and one thing they did

Emperor of Sui Dynasty:

Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty (Yang Guang) has always been known for his cruelty. In fact, he was also very talented in literature, but his talent was not used in the right place. Instead, he despised literati. dependent conditions. Several ministers with outstanding literary talents were killed by him on pretexts. In addition, his literary talent was also used to refuse to accept remonstrances. If he found out whose memorial was pointing out his faults or remonstrating, he would definitely find ways to retaliate. Because the content of his speech irritated Emperor Sui Yang, he was awarded Many ministers committed suicide. After the three expeditions against Goryeo ended, Taishi ordered Yu Zhi to persuade him not to go to Luoyang for a tour, saying that the people should have a chance to breathe, but he was killed by him. As time went by, none of the ministers dared to give advice. This creates favorable conditions for villains to run rampant.

Emperor Yang Jian (541-604) of the Sui Dynasty was a native of Hongnong Huayin (now east of Huayin, Shaanxi Province). He succeeded the Duke of Sui during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Zhou Dynasty in the first year of Dading (581). , the country's name was "Sui", and it was changed to Emperor Kaihuang of the Yuan Dynasty, who was Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign (589), the Sui Dynasty's army crossed the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, captured the Chen capital of Jiankang (now Nanjing), and captured Chen Shubao, the later leader. The Chen Dynasty was destroyed. At this point, the division between the north and the south that had lasted for nearly three hundred years since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty came to an end. This was a major historical achievement of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

Emperor of the Tang Dynasty:

The temperamental emperor Tang Xuanzong (Li Longji) entered the ancient entertainment circle, which was really a big encouragement to many actors. Tang Xuanzong liked to play "harlequin" very much in the "Liyuan" theater troupe. Whenever there was a "harlequin" to play in the play, no matter how big or small the role was, Tang Xuanzong always acted seriously. Because he was the king of a country and performed on stage and acted as a clown, which was unbecoming of an emperor, he deliberately hung a small piece of white jade on his face to cover his face during the performance. Later, when clown artists were performing, they followed the example of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and painted a patch of white powder on their face that resembled a piece of white jade. Over time, the clown facial makeup on the opera stage today was formed.

Tang Gaozu (566-635), also known as Li Yuan, was the founder of the Tang Dynasty. Reigned from 618 to 626 AD. The word is Shu De. A native of Zhaoqing, Zhaojun (now east of Longyao, Hebei Province), it is said that he came from Saibei. Attack the Duke of Tang. In the thirteenth year of the Sui Dynasty (617), he was appointed as the prefect and stayed behind. When the Sui Dynasty collapsed under the attack of the peasant uprising, he raised troops to capture Chang'an and established the Tang Dynasty the following year. After the Xuanwumen Incident, the second son Shimin passed on the throne and was called the Supreme Emperor.

Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was born in the Northern Zhou Dynasty at the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He was granted the title of Duke of Tang at the age of seven. He is suave and open-minded, willful and straightforward, tolerant and tolerant. Empress Dugu of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was his aunt, so she had been a high-ranking official in the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was dissolute and immoral, and Li Yuan secretly recruited many heroes.

Although Li Yuan was not very sensual, ironically, he fell into a beauty trap when he decided to raise troops to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.

When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was indulging in sensuality and sex in Jiangdu, the world was full of troubles and smoke, and the country of the Sui Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse. Li Yuanguan was appointed to stay in Taiyuan, and his son Li Shimin had great ambitions. He became a corporal and met many heroes who secretly worked in secret affairs. Jinyang ordered Liu Wenjing to have frequent contacts with palace eunuchs Pei Ji and Li Shimin. Liu Wenjing valued Li Shimin very much and advised him to take advantage of the chaos in the world to enter the pass and achieve imperial status. Li Shimin had already had this intention, but was afraid that Li Yuan would not comply, so Liu Wenjing discussed a strategy with Li Shimin.

The next day Li Shimin told the palace supervisor Pei Ji about the plot, and he and Pei Ji also planned it. Another day later, Pei Ji hosted a banquet in Jinyang Palace to invite Li Yuan. Yang Jian, the great ancestor of the Sui Dynasty, originally built Daxing City in the east of Chang'an City. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty later built Luoyang, the eastern capital. He set up palaces in both places. Jinyang Palace is one of the palaces, and Pei Ji is the official who manages the palace.

Li Yuan arrived at the palace for a banquet. He drank countless fine wines and delicacies, and he was already drunk and dizzy. Suddenly two beautiful beauties came in from the door. They toasted to Li Yuan together. After a while, Li Yuan was very drunk. The two beauties helped Li Yuan to sleep, and Li Yuan went to bed with the two beauties in a daze. When he woke up and smelled a strange fragrance, he was very surprised. When he saw it again, it turned out that it was the two beautiful women beside him under the quilt. Li Yuan asked the two beauties for their names and identities, and the beauties claimed to be palace wives.

Li Yuan was so frightened that he put on his clothes and stood up tremblingly. The two beauties hurriedly tried to comfort him and said, "Your Majesty has lost his virtue and everything has become so chaotic. I don't have the protection of my father to avoid being slaughtered, so Pei Ji let me go." I entrusted myself to you, hoping to save my life in the troubled times."

Li Yuan dared not speak. He hurriedly ran out of the palace and met Pei Ji. Li Yuan grabbed Pei Ji and asked, "Why did you harm me?!" Pei Ji smiled and told Li Yuan how Li Shimin was raising his troops. He said, "Thieves are all over the world now, and there is a battlefield outside the city gate. Even if you are petty, you will inevitably die." . If you raise a righteous army, you can not only avoid disaster, but also gain the country." Li Yuan hesitated for a few days when he returned home, gritted his teeth and decided to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. Pei Ji also donated 500 yuan to the palace maid, 9 million hu of rice, 50,000 pieces of miscellaneous colors, and 400,000 pieces of armor. The five hundred maids donated by Pei Ji may have been used as military prostitutes.

After the fall of the Sui Dynasty and after several years of arduous fighting, Li Yuan unified the country and created the 290-year foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Ancient Chinese history entered the most glorious era.

The ancients had a proverb when describing various dynasties in China: Han classics, Jin Qing Tan, Tang turtle, Song nose, Qing sloppy. The so-called "Tang Turtle" means that there were a lot of cheating incidents in the Tang Dynasty court, and many emperors wore cuckolds for no apparent reason. But Queen Dou, the wife of the founding emperor Li Yuan, was just the opposite. She was a rare and good wife.

Li Yuan's wife, Dou, was from Shiping, Jingzhao. Her father was Dou Yi, the general manager of Dingzhou in the Sui Dynasty and Shenwu Gong, and her mother was Princess Xiangyang, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Dou's hair has been hanging down over his neck since he was born. When he was three years old, his black hair like a waterfall grew as long as his body. She likes to read biographies such as "Female Commandments" and "Women", and has a photographic memory.

Emperor Zhou Wu particularly liked this niece and let her live in the palace. At that time, Emperor Wu of Zhou accepted a Turkic woman as his queen, but he hated this Turkic woman. The young Dou family quietly said to Emperor Wu of Zhou: "Now there is no peace in all directions, and the power of the Turks is still very strong. I hope that my uncle will restrain his emotions and comfort the Turk queen, and think about the common people. As long as we get the help of the Turks, Jiangnan and Guandong will not be in trouble." "Yes." Emperor Wu of Zhou was very surprised after hearing her words, so he adopted her opinion.

When his father Dou Yi heard about this, he said to his wife, the eldest princess: "Our daughter is so talented and beautiful. She should not be betrothed to a common man. She should find a virtuous husband for her." So in When his daughter grew up and left the court, Dou Yi drew two peacocks on the screen at the door, gave each suitor two arrows to shoot at the peacocks, and asked Dou to hide in the curtain to see if there was a man he liked. .

Dozens of suitors before and after failed to shoot the peacock. At this time, Li Yuan came. He drew his bow and shot two shots at the peacock's eye. Dou Yi was very happy, and Dou, who was hiding behind, also fell in love with the graceful Li Yuan. So the two formed a good relationship.

After the death of Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty, Dou family thought about him endlessly, as if he had lost his biological father. Later, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty forced Emperor Beizhou to abdicate. When Dou heard the news, she couldn't stop crying. She threw herself on the bed and said, "I hate that I am not a man to save my uncle's danger!" Dou Yi and the eldest princess hurriedly covered her. Dou's mouth said: "Stop talking nonsense, this is a way to destroy the clan!"

The Dou family served the Empress Dowager Yuanzhen and was famous for her filial piety. Empress Dowager Yuanzhen had always suffered from lingering illnesses, which often reached the point of passing away. Because of the stern temperament of the empress dowager, the concubines in the harem would look at her from a distance and leave in a hurry when visiting her. Only Mr. Dou served him day and night, barely taking off his clothes and shoes, often for a month.

Emperor of the Song Dynasty:

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutiny and wear yellow robes

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin (927-976) was the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. A native of Zhuozhou, his father Zhao Hongyin was an officer in the Later Tang, Later Jin and Later Han Dynasties. Zhao Kuangyin enlisted in the army in the early years of the Later Han Dynasty and became Guo Wei's subordinate. Guo Wei launched a mutiny to establish the Later Zhou Dynasty. He actively participated in it and was reused as the commander of the imperial army. During the reign of Emperor Shizong of Zhou Dynasty, he was promoted to the post of inspector in front of the palace due to his military exploits. Mastered the military power of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

After the death of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, his 7-year-old only son Chai Zongxun came to the throne. This is Emperor Zhou Gong. Because he was too young, he was assisted by prime ministers Fan Zhi and Wang Pu.

The political situation was unstable, people's hearts were floating, and rumors were everywhere. Some officials loyal to the Later Zhou Dynasty immediately realized that the source of the unrest was most likely to be Zhao Kuangyin, and pointed out that Zhao Kuangyin should no longer be in charge of the imperial army. Some even advocated preemptive strikes. , kill Zhao Kuangyin as soon as possible. But Emperor Gong of Zhou only appointed Zhao Kuangyin as the military envoy to the German army and the captain of the school.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin and his cronies were also stepping up their activities. An obvious fact is that in the six months after Zhou Shizong's death, the arrangements of the senior generals of the Forbidden Army had undergone changes that were absolutely beneficial to Zhao Kuangyin. Let’s look at the system of the front department first. The position of deputy inspector of the front department, which had been vacant, was filled by Murong Yanzhao. Murong Zhao was a young friend of Zhao Kuangyin and had an extraordinary relationship. The position of Yuhou, the chief of the front department, was originally vacant. The post was held by Wang Shenqi, who was also an "old friend" of Zhao Kuangyin. Like Shi Shouxin, who had served as the commander of the palace at that time, he was the core figure in Zhao Kuangyin's circle of influence. In this way, all senior general positions in the entire Dianqiansi system were held by Zhao Kuangyin's people. Let’s look at the Guards Department system. Among the senior generals in this system, it turned out that Zhao Kuangyin only had a "brother" relationship with Han Lingkun. At that time, he was leading troops stationed in Yangzhou, Huainan. In fact, only Han Tong, the deputy capital commander, was left in the capital, although he was not Zhao Kuangyin's. , but he was alone and unable to compete with Zhao Kuangyin.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Xiande (960), the monarchs and ministers of Later Zhou Dynasty were celebrating the New Year when they suddenly received a battle report of the invasion of the Liao and Northern Han Dynasties, and the ministers panicked. After the young emperor Chai Zongxun obtained the consent of prime ministers Fan Zhi and Wang Pu, he ordered Zhao Kuangyin to lead the imperial army to meet the enemy.

After receiving the order to send troops, Zhao Kuangyin immediately dispatched troops and generals, and led his troops out of the city on the second day of the first lunar month. Following him were his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi and his close advisor Zhao Pu. In the afternoon of the same day, we arrived at Chenqiaoyi, which was dozens of miles away from Feng. In the evening, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the soldiers to camp and rest on the spot. The soldiers fell asleep and watched, but some generals gathered together to discuss quietly. Someone said: "The emperor is so young now. We are fighting desperately. Who will know our merits in the future? It is better to support Zhao Dianjian as emperor now!" After hearing this, everyone agreed with this opinion and nominated an official. Tell Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu this opinion first.

When the official arrived at Zhao Kuangyi’s place, before he had finished speaking, the generals had already barged in, showing off their glaring knives, and shouted, “We have already discussed it, and we must ask him to be inspected and enthroned. " Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu were secretly happy after hearing this. They told everyone to stabilize the morale of the army and not cause chaos. At the same time, they quickly sent Zhao Kuangyin's cronies Guo Yanbin to secretly return to the capital and informed the generals Shi Shouxin and Wang Shenqi who were staying in the capital to take care of the gates inside and outside the capital. . It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the military camp. The soldiers all got up and crowded noisily to the post house where Zhao Kuangyin lived. They waited until the sky turned white.

At night, Zhao Kuangyin pretended not to know and fell asleep drunk. When he woke up, he could only hear the noise outside. Then, someone opened the door and shouted loudly, "Please check and be the emperor!" Zhao Kuangyin got up quickly, but before he had time to speak, several people put on a yellow robe that had been prepared and hurriedly put it on. On Zhao Kuangyin. Everyone knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and shouted "Long live". Then, pushing and pulling, he helped Zhao Kuangyin onto his horse and asked him to return to the capital.

Zhao Kuangyin was riding on the horse and said: "Since you have appointed me as emperor, can you all obey my orders?"

The soldiers replied in unison: " Naturally, I will obey your Majesty's orders."

Zhao Kuangyin issued an order: After arriving in the capital, the Queen Mother and the young master of the Zhou Dynasty must be protected, and the court ministers are not allowed to be invaded, and the national warehouses are not allowed to be looted. Those who execute the order will be rewarded heavily in the future, otherwise they will be severely punished.

Zhao Kuangyin was originally the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, and with the support of the generals, who would dare to disobey orders! The soldiers lined up and headed for the capital. Along the way, the troops were in good order and there was no fault of Qiu.

When they arrived in Bianjing, Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi and others acted as internal agents, and the capital was captured without much effort.

The generals called for Fan Zhi and Wang Pu. When Zhao Kuangyin saw them, he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Shizong treated me with great kindness.

A new table of fruits, pastries, wine and dishes was set up, and the emperor was advised to have a drink, but Master Li never showed up. After a long time, Grandma Li held the candle and led the emperor to the bedroom. The emperor opened the door curtain and walked into the room, where there was only a faint light from a lamp. There was no trace of Shishi. The emperor felt even more strange and walked back and forth in front of the bed. After a long time, I saw Grandma Li coming with a young woman on her arm. The woman wore light makeup and silk clothes. She had no bright clothes. She had just taken a bath and was as beautiful as a lotus flower emerging from the water. When he saw Huizong, he looked disdainful, looked very arrogant, and did not show any courtesy. Grandma Li whispered to Huizong: "This child likes to sit quietly. Please don't take offense if it offends you." She lowered the curtain for them and went out. At this time, Master left his seat, took off his short black silk jacket, put on silk clothes, rolled up his right sleeve, took off the piano hanging on the wall, leaned against the table, sat upright, and played "Pingsha Luoyan" 》The song comes. His fingers lightly touched the strings and twisted slowly, and the sound that came out had a faint and far-reaching charm. The emperor couldn't help but listen attentively, forgetting even his tiredness. By the time I finished playing three times, the rooster had already crowed and it was almost dawn. The emperor quickly opened the door curtain and walked out. Grandma Li also hurriedly presented him with apricot cake, jujube cake, soup cakes and other snacks. The emperor drank a cup of apricot cake and left immediately. The eunuchs were waiting outside secretly and immediately escorted him back to the palace. This happened on August 17, the third year of Daguan.

Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty:

Kublai Khan and the origin of mutton-shabu-shabu: Shabu-shabu mutton is a well-known dish in China. It is said that its origin is related to Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty. Until now in Japan and South Korea, some people still call eating hot pot "Kublai Khan"

The legend of mutton-shabu-shabu originated in the Yuan Dynasty. More than 700 years ago, Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, led an army to go south on an expedition. After many battles, he was exhausted, exhausted, and hungry. Kublai Khan suddenly remembered the delicacy of his hometown - stewed mutton. So he ordered his subordinates to kill the sheep and make a fire. While the fireman was slaughtering the sheep and cutting the meat, Tan Ma suddenly galloped into the tent panting and reported that the enemy was chasing after a large group of men and horses, which was only ten miles away. But the hungry Kublai Khan was waiting for the mutton. As he ordered the troops to move out, he shouted: "Mutton! Mutton! Of course I can't wait for the stewed mutton, but raw mutton cannot be served to the commander. What should I do? ?At this time, I saw the coach striding towards the stove. The chef knew that he had a bad temper, so he quickly cut more than ten thin slices of meat, stirred it in boiling water for a few times, and when the color of the meat changed, he immediately took it out of the bowl. In the middle, he took out the fine salt, chopped green onion and minced ginger, and gave it to the commander who just came to the stove.

Kublai Khan grabbed the meat slices and put them in his mouth. After several bowls, he waved and threw the bowls. He mounted his horse and bravely led his army to meet the enemy. As a result, he won the battle and captured the enemy general alive.

When preparing for the celebration banquet, Kublai Khan specially ordered the mutton slices that he had eaten before the war. The "big three forks" and "upper brain" tender meat of high-quality sheep legs are cut into evenly thin slices, and then served with sesame sauce, bean curd, chili, chive flowers and other condiments. He was full of praise, and Kublai Khan was even more happy. The chef hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This place has no name yet. Please give me a name." Kublai Khan replied with a smile while rinsing the mutton slices: "I think it should be called mutton-shabu! What do the generals think?" From then on, mutton-shabu became a palace delicacy.

But until During the Guangxu period, mutton-boiled meat gradually became popular among the people.

Genghis Khan’s genitals were bitten off and died: The mausoleum of Genghis Khan is only the tomb of Genghis Khan. As for where the Great Khan’s body is buried, this is still the case. An unsolved mystery.

The many mysteries Genghis Khan left for future generations have aroused the appetite of countless people. Among them, the most fascinating historical suspense is related to death: How did he die? Second, where was he buried after he died?

Here, let’s talk about how he died.

At the end of the year when Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor (AD 1368), he issued an edict to revise the History of the Yuan Dynasty. " records, the death of Genghis Khan is very clear, he was seriously ill and died: "(1227 AD) Autumn and July, Renwu, no hesitation. Ji Chou died in the palace of an old man in Salikawa. "Song Lian, chief editor of "Yuan History" and a great civil servant of a generation, used only 20 words to explain the process of the "collapse" of a generation of geniuses.

However, the text seems concise and concise, but in fact it is unclear. Therefore, later generations have been trying to figure out how Genghis Khan died. According to Mongolian folklore, Genghis Khan died after his genitals were bitten off by the Princess of Xixia.

There are about five causes of Genghis Khan's death, most of which are related to Xixia.

The most orthodox among them, and the one known to more people, is the "horse falling theory" adopted in "History of the Yuan Dynasty".

The Theory of the Falling Horse

The "Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty" (Volume 14) compiled by the Mongols records that "Genghis lived for the winter and wanted to conquer Tang Wu. He reorganized the army and horses, In the autumn of the Year of Dog, I went to conquer Tangwu, and my wife followed. During the winter, while hunting on the ground in A'er, Genghis was riding a red sand horse. He was frightened by the wild horse. Genghis fell from the horse and was injured. The next day, Mrs. Ye Sui said to the king and the officials: "The emperor is very hot tonight, you can discuss it." The name for the Xixia people; "Year of the Dog", is the second year of Baoqing of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty (1226 AD). Here is a historical fact: Genghis Khan took his wife to conquer the Xixia Kingdom in the autumn of 1226. In winter, I hunted in a place called Aerbuhe. Unexpectedly, the red sand horse he was riding frightened a wild horse, causing the unprepared Genghis Khan to fall from the horse and get injured. He developed a high fever that night. "No hesitation" in July 1227, this is the root of the disease. Why was the injury so serious after falling from a horse? It is said that there was too much bleeding.

At that time, they also asked the accompanying generals to discuss what to do about this matter. Some people suggested that since the Xixia city was there anyway, they would not be able to escape for a while, so they might as well go back to recover from their injuries and attack again when they were ready. Genghis Khan wanted to be strong throughout his life, and thought that if he went back like this, he would make the Xixia people laugh. It was time for him to die in Xixia. When Genghis Khan sent people to the Xixia Kingdom to inquire about the situation, Xixia happened to have a minister who told Asha how dare he not to laugh at him. If you have the ability, come and fight. After Genghis Khan heard about it, he expressed that he would rather die than retreat, so he advanced into the Helan Mountains and killed Asha Ganbu. But since then, Genghis Khan's injuries have not healed, but have worsened. By the 12th day of the seventh lunar month in 1227 (now August 25th in the Gregorian calendar), he died of the illness at the age of 67. If Genghis Khan had returned at that time, the root cause of this disease would not have disappeared.

Thunder and lightning have always been regarded by the ancients as the most terrifying natural force. The word "god" in ancient Chinese characters is the image of holding thunder and lightning in both hands. Eighteen years after the death of Genghis Khan, an envoy from the Holy See came to Mongolia and found that the Mongolians were also very afraid of thunder and lightning. The stranger also made a judgment that Genghis Khan died from a lightning strike.

Thunder strike theory

This theory is quite far-fetched. John Plano Garbini, the papal envoy to Mongolia, revealed in his article that Genghis Khan may have been struck by lightning and died. When John Plano Garbini arrived in Mongolia, he found that thunder and lightning injuries were frequent in summer. “There were ferocious lightning strikes and lightning there, causing many deaths.” For this reason, Mongolians are very afraid of thunder and lightning. . "Black Tartar Story" written by Peng Daya of the Southern Song Dynasty records that "whenever the Tartars heard the thunder, they would cover their ears and bend down to the ground, as if to hide." John Plano Garbini was a Portuguese, and the exact time of his mission to China was AD From 1245 to 1247, he was sent by Pope Innocent IV. After returning, he submitted a mission report entitled "The History of the Mongols We Call Tartars" to the Pope. When John Plano Garbini came, it was only 18 years after the death of Genghis Khan and 30 years before Marco Polo. The account is not nonsense.

"Poisoning theory"

This theory comes from "The Travels of Marco Polo". Marco Polo was an Italian merchant in the 13th century who arrived in China in 1275. At that time, it was the time when Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, was in power, and there were 17 years of contacts with the Yuan Dynasty. The cause of Genghis Khan's death recorded in his travel notes: When he was besieging Taijin (Jizhou, an ancient fortress) during his attack on Xixia, his knee was unfortunately hit by a poisonous arrow shot by a Xixia soldier. The result can be imagined, the poisonous arrow hits the heart, the injury becomes more serious, and the patient cannot afford to fall ill. But there is another folk legend that Genghis Khan died of "poisoning", but it was not poisoned by the poisonous arrows of the Xixia soldiers, but poisoned by the captured Xixia Princess Gulbarzin Guowatun. At that time, the Xixia The princess took advantage of the opportunity to accompany her servants.

Emperor of the Ming Dynasty:

"Genius Carpenter" Secrets of the Mingxi Sect: In ancient China, the emperor was called the Son of Heaven. Since he is the Son of Heaven, he must have supreme authority and enjoy endless glory and wealth. , but the status of the emperor also prevented them from enjoying the life of civilians unrestrainedly. There was such an emperor in the Ming Dynasty. If he had not been the emperor, he would definitely have been a good carpenter, that is Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, was a very distinctive emperor among the emperors of the past dynasties. He was ingenious and had a strong interest in making wooden utensils. Other departments have to do it themselves. His hand-made lacquerware, beds, comb boxes, etc. are all decorated with colorful decorations, which are exquisite and unexpected. Historical records record that during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, the beds built by craftsmen were extremely heavy and could only be moved by more than a dozen people. They used a lot of materials and were very ordinary in style. Xi Zong thought about it by himself, designed the pattern, sawed the wooden nail boards himself, and built a bed in more than a year. The bed board can be folded and is easy to carry and move. The bed frame is also carved with various patterns, which is beautiful and generous. , which impressed the craftsmen of that time. Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty was also good at using wood to make small toys. The little wooden figures he made, men, women, old and young, all had the same look, facial features and limbs, and their movements were also very lifelike. Xizong also sent eunuchs to sell them in the market, and the people in the market bought them at a high price. Xizong was even more happy and often stayed up until midnight, often asking the eunuchs around him to be his assistants.

Beijing place names and Zhu Di (Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty): Today in the Dongba area of ??Chaoyang, there are many place names related to the word horse and the emperor's deeds, such as horse factory, stable, juzifang, Xinggong temple, etc. Why is this? After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect the safety of the royal family, he assigned his sons to garrison in important towns in the north and famous cities across the country. The fourth son, Zhu Di, was named King of Yan in Peiping.

After Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne, he felt that he was threatened, so he abolished all vassals and reduced his five uncles to common people. Zhu Di, the king of Yan who was far away in Peiping, did not wait to be dealt with. With the military strength and strategy he had painstakingly cultivated for many years, he raised his troops in July 1399 and marched out of Peiping to take Nanjing. The name is to eradicate the traitorous officials around the emperor and eliminate disasters for the country. Unexpectedly, just after leaving Peiping, today Dongba clashed with the enemy from the south and started fighting. This is where Beiping carries heavy mountains, faces flat land, and the mountains and rivers lead to the sea, where the Ba River, Liangma River, and Wenyu River meet.

Zhu Di was riding a green horse and was chased by the enemy to a river. Seeing that he was about to die, he asked his mount in desperation: "Can you cross this ditch and let me escape?" After shaking the reins, the horse carried Zhu Di across three rivers and ditches at once, shaking off the pursuers, turning danger into safety, and finally died of exhaustion. Only then was Zhu Di able to capture Tongzhou, Jizhou, Dezhou, Jinan, Suzhou, and Yangzhou. He captured Nanjing in June 1402, and proclaimed himself emperor in July 1402, with the reign name Yongle. After the capital was moved from Peiping to Beijing, in order to commemorate the bravery of the first army in danger and their loyal horses, a horse temple was built in Dongba, and horses were sculpted and offered in the temple as sacrifices to the gods.

It is said that after the temple was built, the horse came alive and often destroyed crops at night. The farmers couldn't bear the pain and secretly destroyed the temple. Legend goes that after Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, Dongba once became the royal horse garden of the Ming Dynasty because of its rich water and grass, which was suitable for raising royal horses. A horse factory is built every three or four miles here. There are more than 20 large and small farms, and several horses are raised. It can be said that there are flowers everywhere. Each horse farm has a wall, with a stable built inside the wall. Outside the wall, there is a flat grassland where the horses can relax. When a mare becomes pregnant and gives birth to a calf, a foal house is built to deliver the baby.

In 1452, Emperor Jingtai also ordered thirty camel houses to be built in Dongba and raised camels. In 1460, Emperor Ming Yingzong, who had lost his throne but was successfully restored to the throne, was so proud that his reign name was changed to Tianshun. This year he visited Dongba in person and inspected the ceremonial guards at Machang.

Since the Royal Horse Garden was so valued by the emperor, of course a temple should be built to commemorate it, and the etiquette standards were also high. It was not under the leadership of general sacrificial officials, but directly subordinate to Guanglu Temple, which was in charge of palace sacrificial affairs. Every year during the Spring Festival, Winter Solstice, and the Emperor's birthday, eunuchs from the palace or close ministers would come to pay homage. By the Wanli period, the number of stables increased to twenty-four, and the eunuch Ni Xian built a city wall at the East Dam to show off. Whenever he came to inspect his work, he would sit on the tower and drink until late at night. Under the city, fireworks and cannons were set off to add to the fun, and it was as lively as the Lantern Festival.

It all disappeared. And the place names related to the word horse and the emperor's deeds, such as horse factory, stable, Juzifang, Xinggong Temple, etc., have been preserved...

Emperor of the Qing Dynasty:

Kangxi (Qing Dynasty) Saint Ancestor Xuanye) and "Gongmen Xianyu": "Gongmen Xianyu" was originally a folk dish named "Gongmen Fish", which was cooked with fresh mandarin fish as the main ingredient. According to legend, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty visited the south of the Yangtze River in 1670 to inspect the public sentiment, and tasted this dish for the first time during an unannounced visit to Gongmenling. He also wrote the four characters "Fish at the Palace Gate", followed by the inscription "Xuan Ye". The store owner didn't know who Xuan Ye was, but he saw that the calligraphy was very beautiful, so he hung it on the wall.

The story of Qianlong (Hongli, Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty) "starting writing on New Year's Day": At midnight on New Year's Day in the first month of the first year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (0:00 a.m. on February 9, 1796), the bells and drums were delayed outside the Forbidden City. The sound of firecrackers and the sound of firecrackers are still floating in the night sky. In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Qianlong got up early. At the age of 86, two sentences from the poem "New Year's Eve" he wrote the night before still linger in his mind: Today is the eve of the Qianlong Emperor, and the Ming Dynasty is the Jiaqing Year.

According to Jiaqing: As early as the 60th year of Qianlong's reign, after he was announced as the crown prince, he was summoned to Yangxin Hall to teach the New Year's Day ritual of "opening the pen in the open window". Therefore, Jiaqing completely copied his father's writing and choice of words. The only and most important difference is that the year number at the beginning does not say "the sixty-first year of Qianlong", but "the first year of Jiaqing". There is only one "Jin'ou Yonggu" cup, which should be placed in the old emperor's Yangxin Palace. The Tusu wine in Yuqing Palace can be filled in some other cup. But I don't know whether the year name in the Shixian book that Yong Yan read is "Qianlong" or "Jiaqing". But what is certain is that Jiaqing did not compose any new "New Year's Day" poems on New Year's Day this year.

As a "witness" to the emperor's annual New Year's greeting ceremony in the Qing Dynasty, the original "opening" files written by emperors on New Year's Day over the years are preserved in the First Historical Archives of China. The warm inkstone, ink and "Jinou Yonggu" cup used to create the pen are all preserved in the Palace Museum in Beijing as precious historical relics.
