Revealing the Mystery of Wu Zetian's Wordless Monument Why did Wu Zetian set up a Wordless Monument for herself

When it comes to Wu Zetian, everyone knows that the only orthodox female emperor in China's history, in the traditional feudal ancient times, women could be the emperor, and this achievement and status can be comparable to that of the first emperor. Although during the ruling period, Li's clan relatives were killed and the politics of cruel officials rose, he also rectified the official management and opened up the way. He was an enlightened emperor. However, why did Wu Zetian set up a tablet without words for herself?

since the Qin and Han dynasties, emperors would like to set up a monument after their death, and the contents of the inscription generally come from two ways: first, write the contents of the inscription in advance when they are alive, and give it to their successors for burning after their death; First, the content is handed over to the successor to write and burn. Then, as the only orthodox female emperor in the history of China, Wu Zetian did not carve a word on the stone tablet, which was called "the tablet without words in Ganling".

A "boundless merit" theory says that Wu Zetian thinks that she is so great that she can't even express it in words. In Wu Zetian's view, although she is a woman, her talent is definitely higher than that of Gaozong. She fostered the weak, attacked the rich and powerful, developed the imperial examination, and rewarded agriculture and mulberry. Under her rule, the society was stable and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Therefore, she thinks that her achievements are remarkable, shining in history, and her achievements are far from being accommodated by an inscription.

therefore, Wu Zetian left an empty monument to show her death. In Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in China's history, Hu Ji also pointed out that "this world-famous wordless monument has stood proudly for more than a thousand years. It seems to symbolize Wu Zetian's confidence in her life and career, and it is intended to leave a blank, let the world comment!"

the second statement: because I have boundless merits. According to this statement, Wu Zetian is a very conceited person, and the wordless tablet is generally used to praise himself. However, Wu Zetian believes that no one can compare with her own achievements, no matter in that respect, her own achievements are worse than Tang Gaozong's.
