Do you know why Zhao's surname in Song Dynasty is Song?
In ancient China, people paid attention to proper names, improper names and illogical words. After Liu Bang destroyed Qin, he sealed Hanwang, which was decent. The new dynasty was of course' Han'. After the demise of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, as a member of the Han Dynasty, won the world. People were considerate of Han, and nothing could unite people more than the banner of "Han". In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao appointed Wang Wei, and Cao Pi naturally became Wei. After Sima Shi mastered the power of Cao Wei, he was named King of Jin and was naturally promoted to Wei. Before the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was made a vassal. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he felt that this Sui had the word "go". He was afraid that his hard-won country would be "gone", so he ordered the word "Sui" to be removed and renamed "Sui". After all, manpower is out of reach. By the second generation, this great dynasty, which was still strong at that time and was not lost to the Qin and Han Dynasties, was irrevocably' gone forever'. Tang Gaozu, Tang Gaozu, is a relative of a country in the Sui Dynasty and a cousin of Emperor Yang Di, whose name is Tang Guogong. Arise and rebel to win the world, and the title is naturally Tang. Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe, seized the world of the Zhou Dynasty. However, Zhao didn't have any titles before, which seems to be not worthy of the name. But people thought for a moment. I used to be the commander-in-chief of the Guards, stationed in Songzhou, and also my lair. Just call it Song! This song' Song' lived up to expectations, but it didn't go, and it lasted at least 300 years!
It can be seen that in ancient times, the name was very important, and when it rang, it was an immortal flag. The loudest flag in ancient China was "Han"! Over the past 400 years, the Han nationality, the main ethnic group of our Chinese nation, has been established. Until the replacement of each dynasty, some people carried the banner of "great military government" until the Revolution of 1911 and the recovery of the provinces. So we are Han people, the dialect is Chinese, the characters are Chinese characters, the heroes are men and the bad guys are traitors!
In 960, Zhao Kuangyin overthrew the regime of the late Zhou Dynasty in the Five Dynasties and established the Song Dynasty. Since his surname is Zhao, why did he choose "Song" as his country name?
It turned out that in the second week, with the meritorious military service in the battlefield, Qiu was given a spot check in front of the temple (that is, the leader of the elite imperial army) and a proofreader, and Songzhou was appointed as the German army. After Zhou Shizong's death, his seven-year-old son succeeded to the throne. At that time, the general guarding the girder (now Kaifeng) was Zhao Kuangyin.
Later, it was widely rumored with Dingzhou officers and soldiers that Liao and Northern Han invaded the south, and Fan Ju, the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, and others immediately sent an imperial army to battle. After Zhao Kuangyin arrived in Chen Qiaoyi (now Chenqiao Town, 20 miles north of Kaifeng, Henan Province), he instructed his brothers Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu to dress him in yellow robes and made him emperor, which was called "Chen Qiaoyi Change" in history.
Subsequently, Zhao Kuangyin led his troops back to Beijing. Because Beijing's defense was empty, nobody defended it, and Shi Shouxin was ordered to be an inside man in front of the temple, he easily won the throne and became emperor. Because Zhao Kuangyin also served as Songzhou's ambassador to Germany, that is, after he acceded to the throne, he took the word "Song" in Songzhou (now south of Shangqiu, Henan) as his country name, calling himself.
I've met people who take the country as their surname, and almost no one takes the country as their surname. When the later dynasty replaced the former dynasty, the master often talked about the five virtues and five elements, and used metaphysics to help the founding emperor explain the so-called destiny, which sounded very reasonable. The five elements originated from Hetu and Luoshu. River map is the master of life, which means the relationship between people helping each other in natural control, so the five elements are born together; Luo Shu is the master of gram, which means that people can control each other after restricting nature, so the five elements are mutually restricted. The two are combined and complement each other.
The key to this is that, judging from the historical results, since the former dynasty was defeated and the new dynasty was established, the facts are conclusive, which means that, for example, the Qin Dynasty respected the former dynasty and the Han Dynasty was replaced by Tude.
In fact, the title of a country has nothing to do with the so-called five virtues. The general rule is to be named after the birthplace or title of the founding monarch, or to pay tribute to his personal ideal dynasty and win a good lottery.
Liu Bang made his fortune in Hanwang, so he was called Bai Han. Liu Xiu's Han Dynasty restored the Han Dynasty to a lost imperial clan and tore the Han flag into a tiger skin. The Sui Dynasty originated from Emperor Wendi and his father Yang Zhong following lord protector. The old man knows how to read and recognize Chinese characters. He thought the word "Sui" was unlucky, so he changed it to "Sui" and left after the second generation. Tang Guogong of Li Yuan and his grandfather Li Hu can be traced back to the Tang State of Yao Emperor, which has a certain relationship with his Jinyang staying behind, and they belonged to the Tang Dynasty in ancient times. His country's name is Jin, which is actually quite appropriate. Wu Zetian's Zhou Dynasty was taken from her example of Zhou Pingwang moving eastward to Luoyang to create the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Before he ascended the throne, Zhao Kuangyin served as our German ambassador and was stationed in Songzhou. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang prefers "martial arts". His title of martial arts was taken from Zhang Shicheng, and was later designated as the Ming Dynasty, which was related to the Tathagata of the Ming Dynasty. Just kidding, he may also be afraid of "all Wu" and have nothing.
Simple because the topic is a big deal, so when playing the topic in ancient times, the authorities usually seek the opinions of knowledgeable people, and these people all have the nature of general metaphysics, and playing the topic has a correct and reasonable explanation in metaphysics. Zhao Kuangyin replaced the Chai Jia regime and became the emperor in the last week. In order to show its legitimacy and inheritance, he packaged himself from all aspects. The last week was Mude, because the emperor's surname was Chai! What replaced wood? Of course, it's fire, and the torches and firewood are burning brightly, so Song is a fire virtue. Why the Song Dynasty of Zhao Dynasty? Because Song is a lid on wood, which means slow fire and long time. However, because the fire was not strong and could not burn out, Yanyun could not be harvested for 16 weeks, and there was one piece missing from the unified world. Liao Qidan means iron, but fire can't burn iron, so Song has been suppressed by Liao. Jin Hawke, later the rise of Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, difficult to cross, and the Southern Song Dynasty was established. However, the road is more intense, but there was a Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty. The mountain was earth and the earth was gold. So Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty and was blocked by Yue Fei, and the Southern Song Dynasty was safe and sound. Yuan, the cycle of heaven and earth began in Yuan, and the Ming Dynasty started too well. So eliminate gold, fire, water and so on to unify the whole country.
So is the country. On the one hand, the name is to win people's hearts and clear their names. For example, Liu Bei's title of Shu Han is "Han", Liu Zhiyuan in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is "Hou Han" and Liu Chong is "Northern Han". Even Chen Youliang, a wicked man, proclaimed himself at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. When others heard about it, they missed the glory of the Han dynasty, and they came to cherish the past, eager to revive the glory of the Han people together.
On the other hand, it is auspicious. We will also see the good side of children when naming them, such as Jianhua, Zhiqiang, Guo Rong and Zhang Wei. So is the country. For example, the Yuan Dynasty was taken from "Daganyuan", which means that the country is vast and the dynasty is strong from generation to generation.
Third, it is related to the fiefs and possessions of the early emperors. Song was an official in Songzhou, so call him Song. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Ming Zoroastrianism, so let's make it clear first. At least a few days and months.
If you want to ask, just say it
It's not just the Song Dynasty whose surname is Zhao and Song.
Also, Zhu's name in the Ming Dynasty was Ming.
Also, the surname of Li in the Tang Dynasty was Tang.
And Liu's name in the Han Dynasty was Han.
The surname of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guo, was Sui.
There are certain rules.
Not to mention the Qin dynasty, the Han dynasty was because Liu bang was the king of Hanzhong;
Cao Wei was named Wang Wei because of Cao Cao;
The Jin Dynasty was due to Si Mazhao's title of Jin Gong;
In the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Song was supposedly a Han clan, but he thought that one of them was not after Liu Bang, but after Liu Bang's younger brother Jiao. Liu Yuan, a Hun in the Northern Dynasties, painted it, and Emperor Wu of Song was named King of Song, so he chose "Song" as the country name.
The Sui Dynasty was due to the fact that Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty inherited the title of Emperor Yangdi, and his father was conferred by the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was also because Li Yuan inherited the title of Duke of Tang granted by his grandfather in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was because Zhao Kuangyin, as our special envoy, returned to Germany and made a fortune. It was the ruling place of the Song and Zhou Dynasties and the seat of the ancient Song Kingdom. So the topic was "Song".
First, replace the rule of the later Zhou Dynasty, not overthrow it. In order to show its orthodoxy and inheritance, the title of Songzhou returning to the German army was still used in the later Zhou Dynasty.
Second, Zhao and Ying are both from Shang surname. After the Shang Dynasty lost the world, the country was also named Song. Therefore, the Zhao family is right to call Song.
Zhao was the surname of the royal family at that time, and Song was the country name. In fact, before the Song Dynasty, China also had countries and dynasties named Song, such as the Song State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (the monarch was descended from Shang Dynasty) and the founding emperor of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Song. Moreover, China had a strong feudal ideology in ancient times, and he had the idea that "home is the world". When he ascended the throne, his children and grandchildren would continue to grow up, thus forming a hundred surnames in the Song Dynasty.
