Taizu may be the posthumous temple number, but the ancestors are the real temple number, and they are often the real founding emperors of a dynasty.
1. Liu Xiu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty
Liu Xiu's name was "Zhongxing" Emperor, who was actually the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and this ancestor was comparable to Taizu.
2. Wei Shizu Cao Pi
Cao Pi was also the first emperor of the Cao Wei Dynasty, and Taizu was cao Pi's posthumous title of empress dowager to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was the actual founder of the Cao Wei Dynasty, Cao Pi was the first emperor of the Cao Wei Dynasty, and Cao Pi's ancestral title was well deserved.
3. Sima Yan, ancestor of the Jin Dynasty
Sima Yan was the first emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and he called the empress dowager posthumously recognized people from his grandfather Sima Yi and uncle Sima Shi to his father Sima Zhao as emperors, and Sima Yan, as the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, also deserved to be an ancestor.
4. Qin Shizu Jian
Jian Jian was the third emperor of the Former Qin Dynasty, but during the Jian Dynasty, Former Qin completed the unification of the north, which was also comparable to Cao Cao's feats. In addition, the lineage of the former Qin Emperor Emperor was transferred from the lineage of The Third Son of Gong Hong to the lineage of the younger son, the Younger Son, which is also considered to be the ancestor of the family.
5. Northern Wei Shizu Tuoba Tao
Tuoba Tao was the third emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but during his reign he unified the north and was called "ancestor". The greatest military contribution of the Northern Wei Dynasty was none other than that of the ancestor Tuoba Tao.
6. Chen Shizu Chen Xuan
Chen Xuan was the nephew of Chen Baxian, the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty, and Chen Baxian's son was either killed or detained in Northern Zhou, which led to Chen Baxian having to appoint his nephew Chen Baoxian as crown prince. Chen Xuan called the empress dowager a new lineage, which can also be called the ancestor.
7. Sui Dynasty Ancestor Yang Guang
Yang Guang was the most unqualified emperor to become Shizu, and was even more ridiculous than Liu Jun of the Song Dynasty and Xiao Zhao of qi Shizu, who added Yang Guangshizu Temple in the name of Emperor Yang Tong, which was super ignorant.
8. Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty
Kublai Khan was the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and said that the empress posthumously honored his grandfather Temujin to his brother Möngke as emperor, and his ancestral status was truly deserved. Kublai Khan can also be called Taizu, after all, he was the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
9. Ancestral Blessings of the Qing Dynasty
Fu Lin was the first emperor after the Qing army entered the customs, but not the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty was Fu Lin's father, Emperor Taiji. Emperor Taiji was the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but Emperor Taiji's son became the ancestor, and Emperor Taiji's grandson Xuan Ye became the Holy Ancestor, which was really too overflowing with Fu Lin and Xuan Ye. Of course, compared to the Jiajing Emperor who turned Emperor Ming Taizong Zhu Di into Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, there was still some culture, and if the Jiajing Emperor had some knowledge of literature and history, he should also know that Zhu Di could honor Ming Shizu instead of Ming Chengzu.
