The titles of ancient Chinese emperors are strange and strange

After the death of ancient Chinese emperors, they generally had to take the title of temple and temple. The title is a summary of the emperor's life, and the temple number is the title given to the emperor in the Taimiao Temple.

Yang Jian's courtesy name is "Wen", the temple name is "Gao zu", and the general title is "Emperor Gao Zuwen". His son Yang Guangchen was given the title of "Shizu", the temple name was "Shizu", and the full name was "Emperor Shizu".

The difference in the title of emperor that you see in history textbooks is actually a difference in the use of titles. The titles of the emperor and the temple were only after the death of the emperor, and for the emperor who was alive and reigning, he should be called "emperor, his majesty, the official family, long live the grandfather, the honorific title, the year number" and so on.

The epithet is a generalization of a person's life, and has the nature of a conclusive conclusion. Under normal circumstances, "Wen, Wu, Zhang, Ren, Jing" and so on are good nicknames, and "炀, Mourning, Mourning" and so on are inferior nicknames. There is a more interesting nickname, that is, the nickname of Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian. Liu Xie's courtesy name was "Emperor Xiaoxian". Many people later offered the meaning of offering Jiangshan, which corresponds to the fact that Emperor Zen of Han Xian gave way to Emperor Cao Pi of Wei, but this is not the case. "Dedication" means "knowledgeable and versatile, hui and ned" and is a very good nickname.

The names given to emperors of different dynasties in history books have changed.

1. The Era of The Name:

There were only two Qin dynasties, Qin Shi Huang and Qin II. From the Han to the Sui Dynasty, most of them were known as Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Guangwu of Han, Emperor Wu of Wei, Emperor Wen of Wei, Emperor Wu of Jin, Emperor Wu of Liu Song, Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Of Sui, and so on. Here, the situation of Liu Bang is more special, Liu Bang's full name is "Emperor Gao of Han Taizu". Everyone generally calls it Han Gaozu and thinks that it is a temple number, but in fact, "Gao" is Liu Bang's nickname, and the accurate title is "Han Taizu" or "Han Gao Emperor".

2. Temple Era:

From the Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, the title of emperor was mostly referred to as a temple. For example, Tang Gaozu, Tang Taizong, Tang Xuanzong, Song Taizu, Song Taizong, Song Gaozong, Liao Taizu, Jin Taizu, Yuan Taizu, Yuan Shizu, and so on.

3. Era:

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor's era name was generally only one, so most of them were called by the year number. This is very familiar to everyone. For example: Hongwu, Yongle, Wanli, Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and so on.

Of course, the title of emperor in different eras has been changing. There are also certain reasons for this. The title focuses on the virtue of the emperor himself; the temple number is the emperor's position in the family; the era number is the emperor's role in the people, because the era number is used to chronicle the year, and everyone in the world is using it.
