Six monarchs of the Shang Dynasty who enjoyed the title of temple, one saint and one queen

As we all know, the Shang Dynasty was a legendary dynasty, and many of the cultures of Chinese civilization originated from the Shang Dynasty. One of the more unpopular points of knowledge is that the temple culture originated in the Shang Dynasty. As the founder of the temple culture, the shang dynasty ministers were relatively free of speech, and there was no unspoken rule for His Holiness. The second is to strictly abide by the iron law of ancestors having merit and having virtue. Only exceptional emperors are eligible for temple titles, and only six kings of the Shang Dynasty have been eligible for temple titles for nearly thirty generations.

【Shang Taizong】 Sacrifice name Taijia, courtesy name Wen Wang. This Taijia is famous in history because of the allusion of Yi Yinfang Taijia. The story is about yi Yin, the founding minister, who felt that Taijia was acting too ridiculously. He was exiled until Taijia himself reformed himself and allowed him to return to power. Behind this story is a reflection of the factional struggles in the early days of the Shang Dynasty. Most of the later courtiers also compared themselves to Yi Yin, but once they seized the power, they were not willing to take the initiative to return it to the young lord.

On the surface, these two words are contradictory, but in fact, Kublai Khan of the Mongolian Yuan and Shunzhi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were the first monarchs after they ascended the Central Plains. On the basis of Shoucheng, he was able to obtain the temple name of the ancestor. In the past, the monarch was still in the north of the country and could only get one zongzi. After the Shang Dynasty's ancestor Pan Geng moved its capital to Yin, the capital of the Shang Dynasty no longer moved at will. Since then, the city of Yin has even been equated with the Shang. Therefore, the temple number of Pan Geng de shizu is really deserved.

【Emperor Gaozong of Shang】The name of Wuding was Wuding, and the title of King of Xiang. The temple name of Gaozong was not a good temple number in later generations, such as Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong, Zhao Shuo of Song Gaozong, and Qianlong of Qing Gaozong. and the overseas King of the Joseon Dynasty, Gojong Lee Hee. The reputation is very bad, but during the Shang Dynasty, there was a temple number that was already highly matched, and this Shang Gaozong founded Wuding Zhongxing.
