21. A new exploration of the relationship between Wu Zetian and Chang'an
Chang'an, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is actually a representative symbol of the Li Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian, as the wife of the Li clan, did not abolish Chang'an's status as the Western Capital of Chang'an when he was in charge of the Luoyang Dynasty and changed the Tang Dynasty to Zhou, and it was impossible to eliminate the social influence of the Li Tang Dynasty. Although Wu Zetian was in Luoyang, his every move needed to worry about Chang'an's reaction. Chang'an was by no means dispensable to Wu Zetian, and Chang'an during the Wu Zetian period never withdrew from the political arena without any development or change. Artificially ignoring and obliterating Chang'an from Wu Zetian's political career not only fails to fully understand the development and evolution of the spatial layout of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, but also fails to fully grasp Wu Zetian's political career. Based on this, this book focuses on Chang'an during the Wu Zetian period, discusses the interactive relationship between the political evolution of the Wu Zetian period and Chang'an, and hopes to supplement the academic community's understanding.
