Why is Datong called "the land of queens"?
According to historical records, Datong has had 25 queens and 9 concubines since the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Among them, the most powerful is Du, Duke of Wei in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who is the best father-in-law in history. He * * * has three daughters who have become queens, one is the queen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the other is the literary queen of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty (known as Dugu Jialuo in history), and the other is the queen whose mother was posthumously named.
In addition, there is the wife of Li Keyong, the king of the Jin Dynasty, and the wife of Shi Jingtang, the wife of Li, the emperor of the late Jin Dynasty. Empress Liu of Li Congke in the late Tang Dynasty; Li, the queen of Liu Zhiyuan, the emperor of the later Han Dynasty; Queen Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, etc.
We really can't help asking why there are so many queens in Datong.
In fact, this is because Datong has a special geographical location. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Located in the frontier fortress, bordering Manchu, Han, Hu and Qidan, the land of four wars naturally forms a multi-ethnic environment.
We all know that half-blood is easy to produce beautiful women, and so is ancient Datong. Multi-ethnic characteristics are easier to meet the aesthetic standards of people of all ethnic groups, and the probability of being elected as an emperor is naturally high.
Besides, as the saying goes, people are afraid of famous pigs and strong ones. Once there are many queens in a place, the emperor behind will unconsciously want to go to this place to see if it is really so magical. Once emperors attach importance to Datong, the probability of choosing a queen is naturally great.
Besides, the ancients were superstitious, Datong rich queen? Then I'll book one first. Good luck. Once the careerist thinks so, he may really become an emperor and help another queen.
