"Endowed with a New Moon" once said: "When the moths of the people are small, the three or five reunions shine all over the sky." "Throughout the ages, there have been many ambitious people, and although their ambitious deeds may be rejected by the world, their goals in life will eventually be perfectly realized with the help of ambition.
In the context of ancient feudalism, when the dynasty changed, most of them would face the situation of chaos in the world. If you can stand out in the chaotic world and unify the world, you can smoothly establish a new dynasty, promote the country to achieve better development, and at the same time push yourself to the position of the supreme leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
When it comes to the founding monarchs of many dynasties, it is presumable that people will have a sense of awe, and Li Yuan, the founding monarch of the Tang Dynasty, has become the object of many people's attention. Looking at the names of Li Yuan's four sons together, li yuan's ambition can be fully felt. So, in the process of naming his son, what ideas did Li Yuan have? How do the names of several sons reflect Li Yuan's ambitions?
Li Yuan was born in 566 AD, as a descendant of the founding monarchs of Western Liang,
Li Yuan's ancestors were prominent for generations, his grandfather was a taiwei in the Western Wei dynasty, and his father was a royal historian in the Northern Zhou dynasty. For Li Yuan, being born in such a family is also destined to have a legendary life.
When Li Yuan was only seven years old, he died because of his father and was enfeoffed as the Duke of Tang
。 When the Sui Dynasty was officially established, Li Yuan had been appointed as a military attaché of the Janissaries at the emperor's side.
In the days that followed, Li Yuan's official positions changed constantly, but he always held a high position in the imperial court, and during the reign of the Sui Emperor, he began to take charge of military affairs.
Because of Li Yuan's bold personality, in the process of managing military affairs, he made friends with Haojie in the world, which also made the Sui Emperor suspicious of Li Yuan. After that, in order to achieve self-preservation, Li Yuan often drank heavily for pleasure, in order to dispel the suspicion of the Sui Emperor.
However, with the change of the situation, when the flames of the peasant revolt spread throughout the country, Li Yuan also decided to rebel against the Sui and create his own forces. Since then, Li Yuan has brought all his former friends under his command and recruited all kinds of talents in the world.
In 618, the Sui Emperor died in the Rebellion of Jiangdu, and although Emperor Gong of Sui ascended to the throne, after Li Yuan invaded Chang'an, Emperor Gong of Sui also had to issue an edict to give the throne
。 Since then, the rule of the Sui Dynasty has collapsed, and the Tang Dynasty has officially risen.
Although from ancient times to the present, in the process of understanding Li Yuan, it is generally believed that his ability is not outstanding, and his ascension to the throne is not a predestined thing. But in fact, judging from the names of Li Yuan's four sons, in fact, Li Yuan's plan to establish the Tang Dynasty already existed in his heart.
Among Li Yuan's four sons, the eldest son, Li Jiancheng, has the meaning of his name
Meritorious service, successful career
。 Generally speaking, the ancients paid more attention to the eldest son, and "built"
This name also contains Li Yuan's grand blueprint for the smooth establishment of the country.
For Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin, presumably people are very familiar with it, and after splitting and explaining his name,
The meaning of "Shimin" is Ji Shi'anmin.
In ancient society, many Ming Emperors could help the people live a more stable life after they ascended to the throne, and the name of Li Yuan's second son implied his intention to become a Ming Jun.
Li Yuan's third son was named Li Xuanba, the so-called
"Xuanba" means to dominate the world.
Although Li Yuan later became emperor, if he could not dominate the world and quell the wars in various places, it would be difficult to ensure his throne. It can be seen that Li Yuan also hopes to suppress all the rebellious forces within the scope of the world, thereby ensuring the stability of his own dominance.
Li Yuan's fourth son was named Li Yuanji.
After splitting and explaining the "Yuanji", it will be found that Li Yuan hopes that after he ascends to the throne, the people will be able to live a smooth life and realize the unity of the world.
Among the names of the four sons, Li Yuan's ambitions are clearly revealed, which shows that Li Yuan's title of emperor is not accidental, but the result of deep consideration in his heart. Although many people are not optimistic about Li Yuan, since Li Yuan can become the founding monarch, it means that he has many outstanding talents.
epilogue
As a founding prince of a generation, no matter what evaluation of Li Yuan is in later generations, it cannot shake his special historical status. Without the existence of Li Yuan, it would have been difficult for the Tang Dynasty, the most prosperous dynasty in Chinese history, to be built smoothly.
From this point, it can be seen that in the process of evaluating historical figures, we should not go with the flow and then misread historical figures due to external remarks, but should combine real historical materials, conduct in-depth analysis, and strive to recognize a more accurate character image.
It is believed that in the future society, people's understanding of historical figures will also be more in-depth, and with the experience and lessons of historical figures, the level of national development can also be steadily improved. In time, China will be able to catch up with other countries and return to the top of the world.
