Why is the queen called Ai Jia? Who can call himself Ai Jia? Are you right?

When we watch costume movies and TV series, we can often see the queen calling herself "homeless" in the drama. So, does the queen in history really call herself "lost home"?

Generally speaking, the queen's self-proclaimed "bereavement" only appears in traditional drama works and contemporary film and television works, which means that after the death of the emperor, she was a poor person, just a person left behind by the "first emperor".

To mourn the "late emperor". Whether the queens in history really call themselves "lost their homes" is still inconclusive.

However, it can be verified in history that the Empress was often called Zitong by emperors in history.

According to experts' research, Zitong's original Zitong was first seen in five kinds of Quanxiang Pinghua:

"da ji asked the son of heaven:' Your majesty writes, and everyone is a treasure. What has he done recently, baby? Watch it with the children in the future. "("featuring cutting Zhou Pinghua ")

Lv Hou said, "Zi Tong has ordered that Han Xin be beheaded at Weiyang Palace on September 21st." The imperial edict of Emperor Gaozu said,' I will swim in the clouds and dream, make my children emperor, earn three people to enter the palace, and harm their lives' (The History of the Three Kingdoms)

Because of the homonym and homonym in the Middle Ages, the word has the following teachings: "The Great Biography of Shangshu" quoted Shang Yang as saying: "A child is a child." Therefore, in the novels of the late Ming Dynasty, "Zi"

"Tong" was gradually replaced by "Zitong" and became the title of the queen.

For example, there is a description in Chapter 84 of The Journey to the West: "The king hastily opened his eyes and saw a light on the queen's head. He quickly got up and said,' Zitong, you are so alike.

Why wait? "

At the same time, Catalpa bungeana is the most expensive tree. The ancients used catalpa as a symbol of having a son. Emperors set up empresses not only for the sake of their mother's instrument, but also for the sake of building children and inheriting the Great Unity, so as to continue and maintain the long-term rule of the dynasty. This is the calendar.

An important event that all emperors attach great importance to. So the queen's name was Zitong, which catered to the family psychology at that time.
