Throughout the history of the continent, there are more than 400 emperors, whether they reigned or whether they were emperors or not. When they sat in high positions, they all enjoyed supreme status and glory and wealth. But where the yellow robe is added, even if it is not the chosen son, it seems imposing, just as the so-called people rely on clothing, and Buddhas rely on gold. The same is true of the Emperor. Moreover, the only dragon robe worn by the emperor is the only one in the world, and no one is allowed to make the dragon robe privately and secretly wear it. Once discovered, it is a great sin of beheading, and even being planted with nine tribes.
But did you know that not all emperors in history wore yellow dragon robes?
There was an emperor who was very special, and the dragon robe he wore was not yellow, but black. This emperor was also the first emperor in Chinese history to win the government. Almost all of the political patterns in China's history of nearly two thousand years were laid by Qin Shi Huang. Therefore, this emperor is known as the first emperor of the ages. It is of great significance to future generations, if it were not for the fact that he unified the six kingdoms. Perhaps the history of the development of human civilization will be delayed for hundreds of years. And why did Qin Shi Huang wear a black dragon robe? Is this to prove that he is really the chosen son of genius? In fact, there is a reason for all this.
Before the appearance of Qin Shi Huang, there was no concept of an emperor. It can be seen that the black dragon robe is only decided by Qin Shi Huang's mood, and it really does not have much special significance. Qin Shi Huang was an emperor who believed in water. Qin Shi Huang's previous "emperors" believed in earth qi, wood qi and fire qi, etc. Obviously, Qin Shi Huang can obtain water, fire and earth according to the five elements, and water can overcome fire. In order to prove their victory and strength, they believe in water, as to why it is black robes and not white? Because in ancient times, water was not white, transparent, but black, known as the abyss color, so Qin Shi Huang would wear a black dragon robe. It's just that Qin Shi Huang paid attention to black, and after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not dare to do so.
The Qin Dynasty collapsed after only 2 dynasties, and if the black robe can represent the emperor's integrity and destiny, it is obvious that the black robe is not auspicious. In addition, the ancients were more feudal and superstitious, worried that imitating Qin Shi Huang and wearing black robes would also die as early as he did, which changed the color of the emperor's robes!
The Qin Dynasty was replaced by the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, was not high in culture because he was born in the city. Therefore, he did not understand the gold, wood, water, fire and earth in the Five Elements, and he wore a black dragon robe along with Qin Shi Huang. But other emperors of the Han Dynasty considered the black dragon robe to be unlucky. After Liu Heng succeeded to the throne, he believed that the red dragon robe was really auspicious, Liu Heng believed in fire, and the fire was red when it burned, so for a time, the dragon robe was not only yellow, but also black and red. It's just that nowadays, TV dramas prefer to remake the deeds of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Qing Dynasty and other periods, so people naturally think that the emperors in history are wearing yellow dragon robes. The dragon robe has almost become a symbol of the emperor during the Tang Dynasty, and even once did not allow anyone in the folk to steal yellow without permission, believing that people wearing yellow clothes were blaspheming the majesty of the emperor.
In the late Tang Dynasty, yellow had become the supreme color in a country, and thus there was a division of color levels. In the dynasty, officials with more than three pins wore purple clothing. Officials from four to five pins were ordered to wear vermilion, five or six pin officials to wear green, and so on.
Speaking of which, everyone should have understood, but I don't know what to think? In the editor's opinion, can the color of clothes determine the fate of a dynasty? Will the emperor live a long life because he wears a yellow dress? Obviously, the ancient emperor was upside down, the emperor did not think about how to govern the world, let the people live a smooth life, only think of their own safety and enjoyment, which made one dynasty after another change, but also let the short years, there were more than 400 emperors, and also made the emperor become a profession of the highest position in ancient times! It's hard to help but sigh!
