The system of emperors has existed for more than two thousand years since the founding of Qin Shi Huang, and now the imperial family no longer exists in China. Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the liberation of New China, the royal family has ceased to exist in China, and today's China is a society where everyone is equal. However, there are still many royal families in other countries in the world, such as the British royal family. But it is not the longest-lived dynasty in history, which has not fallen for 2680 years and is still there.
The British Royal Family is one of the oldest surviving royal families, their country is a constitutional monarchy, and the British Royal Family is only used as a symbol of national strength. It still plays a large role under the law, but the British royal family generally does not use it. According to records, the history of the British royal family dates back to 829.
The longest-lived dynasty was the Japanese Imperial Family, according to Japanese written records. Japan's first emperor is a descendant of the god of creation in Japanese mythology, Amaterasu, who is also known as the sun goddess. It is also officially because the Japanese emperor is a legendary god clan, so it is more special. In ancient times, Japanese history books always said that the emperor was the same lineage, that is, all the emperors came from the same family. This seems impossible in China, where, for various reasons, the emperors of each Chinese dynasty come from different families.
In fact, during the Middle Ages, there were many small countries in Japan. In the end, the unification of the large country of Honshu Island was achieved, and perhaps the dynasty had been changed before, because the history of that time was entirely based on the records of historians, and there was no text that could prove it. If the records are true, then the Japanese emperor is all from one family, which is the longest-lived dynasty. However, although the Emperor of Japan has been around for a long time, he has not actually been in the position of supreme ruler for a long time.
The establishment of the Kamakura shogunate in 1192 marked the beginning of the era of Japanese shogunate power, which ended when Japan was ruled by the central nobility. In 1318, Emperor Go-Daigo rebelled, but the fall of the curtain failed. This time was known as the Change of The Middle, and then Emperor Go-Daigo initiated a second fall and was exiled. It was not until December 9, 1867, that the Imperial Restoration was initiated, and the Tokugawa shogunate was forced to return to power. After 682 years, power once again returned to the hands of the Japanese Emperor Meiji. After this period, the power of the Japanese emperor reached its peak.
Showa, as the chief culprit in the war of aggression against China, was spared responsibility because he was the emperor. After Japan's defeat in the war, in line with the will of the Japanese people, the emperor was retained as a symbolic head of state. The Japanese Imperial Family also survived, and because the Japanese Emperor was a descendant of the Shinto clan, there was no surname or household registration. The general title is the palace number plus the name plus the title, such as prince Aiko Uchi in the palace, and the son is her name, but the female members of the royal family change to the surname of the husband's family after marriage.
The Japanese imperial family has spent 2680 years from its establishment in 660 BC to 2020 AD. The British royal family has actually only existed for more than a thousand years, but the two royal families are now the same. They are also reserved as symbolic heads of state, but the difference is probably that the female royal family of the Japanese imperial family cannot inherit the throne.
