In the history textbook of the middle school, it is clearly written: The Qin Dynasty established the county system. Because of this sentence, many people think that the county system was pioneered by the Qin Dynasty. But in fact, it is not the case, the source of the county system is in the Chu state, not the Qin state. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, when King Wu of Chu was in charge, the earliest attempts were made. King Wu of Chu demolished the Zongmiao temple of a annexed vassal state and then converted it into a county, which was the earliest Quan County.
After that, the State of Qin began to establish administrative units at the county level, but at that time there was no direct subordination between the county and the county, and the two administrative units were independent. The real subordination was during the Wei Wenhou period, when in order to strengthen the control of the Hexi region, the State of Wei established Hexi County, set up a county guard, ruled the counties of Hexi, and was responsible for military dispatch, at this time, the subordination between the counties was really established. In the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang retained this system and implemented it throughout the country.
In fact, in addition to this cold knowledge, history also has a lot of cold knowledge, which everyone can't imagine. Today Xiaobian will give you an inventory of some cold knowledge that you don't know.
The first is about makeup. In ancient times, especially during the Wei and Jin dynasties, men were feminine and beautiful. Men at that time loved beauty more than men now, but when they went out, they had to wear makeup, foundation, lipstick and so on, otherwise they would be laughed at. This custom has been passed down to the Tang and Song dynasties, when men who look handsome are basically handsome and handsome, and the uncles who are vicissitudes will never be considered handsome. Why is Wu Zetian's male favorite called "Peach Blossom Rokuro"? That's the way it is.
The second is the issue of the title of "Cosmic General". Many readers see this title, will definitely feel that this is a joke in the editor, who will seal such a mentally retarded title? In fact, you don't have to say that in history, there is really this title, and this is still an emperor's title.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Southern Liang had such a chancellor named Hou Jing. He was a warrior by birth, and after climbing to the peak of power step by step, he began to blackmail Tianzi to order his subjects. To what extent was he domineering? According to the historical records, he even openly carried his sword to the temple during the Tianzi Dynasty meeting, and said that Xiao He and Han Gaozu were also like this.
After that, he felt that the name of Xiang Xiang was not good, so he gave himself a title, called "Cosmic General". The little emperor at that time, Xiao Gang, was shocked when he heard this title. After Hou Jing received this title, his heart was beautiful, and soon after, he poisoned the little emperor and established himself as emperor. However, he was soon defeated by the ministers' leading soldiers, and the corpses were eaten by the ministers.
The third is about the Sui Dynasty. We now generally believe that Emperor Wen of Sui is an emperor of thousands of years, but many people feel that Emperor Wen of Sui did not do anything major, why is it the emperor of the ages? Here I want to give Emperor Wen of Sui a proper name, during the opening of his reign, the economic prosperity of the Sui Dynasty was frightening.
During the Prosperous Tang Dynasty, although the economy was also very prosperous, compared with the Sui Wendi period, it was completely slag. If nothing else, in terms of population, the population during the Kaihuang period was several million more than when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, which is very telling in ancient times when productivity was low.
In fact, like this kind of cold knowledge, in history, many of which we can't imagine. The most surprising thing is the Juntian system that belongs to Wang Mang of the new dynasty, which is almost the same as now, which is really frightening to think about, and this may be the evidence that Wang Mang has crossed back! Dear readers, what other historical trivia do you know?
