Historically, there was a Great Tang Dynasty, the Later Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties Period, and the Southern Tang in the Ten Kingdoms, with a Tang character monarch also surnamed Li, are there blood relations between them? Let's tell a small story first, saying that Tang Taizong was driven by curiosity and asked Yuan Tiangang to calculate the national fortune of the Great Tang.
Yuan Tiangang pinched his fingers and clicked in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly. He hinted to Emperor Taizong that the Great Tang would end only when the pig went up the tree. As the saying goes, men are reliable unless the sow goes up the tree. Tang Taizong may have also heard of it, and he thought to himself how could this pig go up the tree.
It seems that the Great Tang is a thousand generations, and he never thought that this pig was not another pig. Yuan Tiangang was talking about swine fever. This pig was later destroyed by Zhu Wen in the Tang Dynasty, and in 907, Xiang Guo ruled for 289 years, and Zhou En usurped Tang, and sixteen years later, the Later Tang was established, and its founder was also surnamed Li and his name was Li Cunxuan. However, Li Fei, Li Shimin's Li Qi's ancestor was of the Shatuo clan, his original surname was Zhu Xie, and he was the acting Shatuo chief.
His grandfather was named Zhu Xie, Chixin was given the surname Li by the Tang Emperor for his meritorious work in suppressing Pang Xun's mutiny, and was also incorporated into the Great Tang Dynasty, and when it was popularized in his father's generation, he officially changed the surname Li, and his name was Li Keyong. Therefore, Li Cunxuan is not a descendant of Li and Tang, the reason why he is also called the Tang envoy, he wants to take the central Tang Dynasty as a call to win support, after all, soon after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the influence is still in science, and he was very brave when he was young, and at the age of fifteen, he followed his father Li Guochang to fight Pang Xue, because of his courage in battle, he was called the Flying Tiger Zi.
Due to the growing offensive power of the military industry, he was later made the King of Jin and divided Hedong. Because the feudal state of the late Tang Dynasty was already a highly self-reliant kingdom, it was called the historian of the Jin state at this time, and it was called Advance. The year 908, which was the second year of the fall of the Great Tang Dynasty. Li Keyong died, and his son Li Cunxuan succeeded him as King Jing. After assuming the throne, he exerted himself to win the confrontation with Later Liang, and in 923 AD, he proclaimed himself emperor in Guizhou, and destroyed the capital of Later Liang at the end of the same year.
According to traditional customs, it is common to use his own Wang Hao as the national name of the new dynasty, such as Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, who succeeded to the throne and established the Sui Dynasty, the Duke of Tang, and Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty. He, Li Cunxuan, was very clever, and he did not set the national name as a sacrifice, but used Tang as the national name. Its purpose is to represent it in this way.
Go to Tang Li Guoyong, the national name of Tang to show orthodoxy, and the car accident criticism rushed the banner. Therefore, the bloodline of the Later Tang Li clan and the Great Tang Li clan are different, neither different sects, nor different races, nor even one nation. If you have to say what relationship they have, you can only say that it was once a relationship between monarchs and subjects. In fact, there are many more examples similar to those that have survived in history.
For example, Liu Yuan during the Five Lakes and Sixteen Kingdoms period, he was originally a Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu leader was a descendant. The Southern Xiongnu, the grandson of Yufuluo, took advantage of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty, left a message to divide the prefecture region, and established the Han state in the first year of Yongxing, known as Zhao Han 936. Shi Jingyu established a successor, and at the expense of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, with the help of his single army to attack Luoyang, after the fall of the Later Tang Dynasty, the establishment of the Tang Kingdom, the Zhiqi Kingdom only existed for fourteen years.
And talking about the Southern Tang, everyone knows that Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang, is very famous and a great talent. His spring water flows eastward, and the falling flowers and flowing water are also well-known. Li Yu's grandfather was the founder of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Bian was a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou. When he was six years old, his father Li Rong disappeared due to the war. Uncle Liu took their mother and son for a long time, and his mother also died, leaving and becoming a wanderer. Wandering Hangzhou Kaiyuan Temple.
In 895 AD, Wu Taizu Yang Xianglu attacked Hao Zheng and got the day to take him as Yang Jing. But Yang Xingyi's sons could not accommodate this brother of the opposite sex. Yang Xingyi referred to Peng Nu and handed over to the general Xu Wen to raise. In this way, parting became Xu Wen's meaning again, and he changed his name to Xu Zhigao. Xu Zhigao is very smart and knows his situation. He is like his biological father, and even more filial than his biological father.
It just so happens that Xu Wen's wife's surname is Li, because of the same sex, he takes good care of Xu Zhigao, is like his own waiting for Xu Zhigao to grow up and is born majestic, born like a rainbow and likes to read, is a good descendant of both culture and martial arts. Wu Taizu Yang Xingmi treated him very well, often telling everyone that Xu Zhigao was a handsome man, and no one among Zhongjiang's sons could compare with him.
After Xu Wen's death, Xu Zhigao inherited his rights, and after ten years of painstaking management, he finally abolished the invincible Yangpu in 937 and ascended the throne himself, with the national banner. At this time, Tang had been destroyed by Shi Jingyu. Two years later, Xu Zhichen saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he restored the rationality of his ancestors and changed his name to Li Yu after the change, why did he change the atmosphere to micro-tao? Because according to himself, he is Li Ke, the son of Tang Xianzong, who is forty years old, but is he the son of Tang Xianzong?
Li Ke was forty years old, and there was no D n A test at that time, and no one knew that after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Since he said that he was a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, others could not find evidence to refute it. After all, there are too many princes and grandchildren of the Tang Dynasty, and maybe there will really be someone left in the people. In fact, in history, in order to gather people's hearts, there are many people who say that they are descendants of the previous dynasty, and the most famous is Liu Bei. Liu Beifeng said that he was the son of Emperor Jing of Han, and after King Jing of Zhongshan, I am afraid that even he himself is not clear.
King Jing of Zhongshan had more than a hundred children, and after hundreds of years of circulation, who knows how many descendants he really has and where they all have fallen. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Liu Yu of Song Wu said that he was the queen of the Han imperial family, but unlike Liu Bei, he directly related to Emperor Wudi of Han, but said that he was the twenty-second grandson of Gaozu Liu Bang Chuyuan and Wang Liu Jiao. Mr. Chen Yinke believes that it is unlikely, and his family should be a second-class clan. Besides, since he himself said so, we did not forget to inform that the rulers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were descendants of the Tang Dynasty.
In 971, Qi's grandson Li Yu was forced by pressure from the Northern Song Dynasty to remove the Tang state and change his name to the lord of Jiangnan. After another four years, the Northern Song army captured Jinling, and Li Yu offered to destroy the Southern Tang. The economic development and cultural prosperity of the third dynasty of the Southern Tang Dynasty made the Jianghuai region more than enough ice and stone in the chaotic era of the five dynasties, making a significant contribution to the economic development of southern China, and the Southern Tang became one of the important regimes in Chinese history. In addition to the three dynasties of the Tang dynasty, there were actually two ancient Tang states and Tang states in the pre-Qin era.
The ancient Tang state was the first shake-headed Tang poem in ancient China, and served as the crown of the princely royal family, located in Baoding Tang County, Jinhebei. Because of the long history, there are naturally few records of the ancient Tang Kingdom. Around the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the ancient Tang state collapsed in the Tang state, which was the predecessor of the Eastern Zhou Nian Jin state, but later changed the name of the state to Jin, which was later divided into Han, Zhao, and Wei. As for why the Tang was changed to Jin, some scholars believe that it may be that the capital of the Tang Kingdom moved to the area near the water, and it followed the customs.
The Tang Dynasty was one of the longest unified and most powerful dynasties in Chinese feudal society, surpassing modern times in both the west and north. China's generals have a huge influence on the whole world. The Son of Heaven honored all the tribes of the Four Yi as the Heavenly Khan. At that time, the capital Chang'an had a population of more than one million, and the economy was extremely prosperous. The Tang Dynasty was ranked as the most powerful empire in the world along with the Arab Empire at that time. To this day, the principles of Tang Dynasty culture still exist all over the world, especially in Japan. Therefore, the Later Tang and Southern Tang, which were later established, both wanted to stain the light of the Tang Dynasty and try to get involved with the Tang Dynasty.
