Speaking of the female emperor, people's first impression is definitely the empress of the Tang Dynasty " Wu Zetian ".

Wu Zetian is indeed the only orthodox female emperor recorded in history. She was in charge of the government for 16 years from 690 AD to 705 AD. In a feudal society where men were superior to women, most women were reduced to men’s accessories and playthings, not to mention their status and power. However, under this social background, many female rulers still emerged.

The first one is Northern Wei 's Emperor Shang - Yuan girl . In 528 AD, Empress Dowager Hu of the Northern Wei Dynasty killed Emperor Xiaoming, and then appointed a princess who was less than one year old at the time as emperor, and killed her again within a year.

The second one is Empress Dowager Hu of the Northern Wei Dynasty , who is also the first powerful female emperor in Chinese history. She was lewd and vicious, poisoning her nineteen-year-old biological son to death, and she also controlled the power behind the scenes. She can be regarded as a role model for Cixi.

The third one is Wenjia Emperor - Chen Shuozhen. She was born as a farmer and her family was poor. Later, she made a living as a witch and gained a large number of believers by deceiving people. She called herself Emperor Wenjia. In October 653 AD, she launched a peasant uprising in Zhejiang. In November, the uprising failed and she was killed.

The fourth place is Tang Taizong Li Shimin's talent - Wu Zetian . She is also a ruthless ruler, but her abilities support her ambitions.

The third position is Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang’s wife Empress Lu . She held power for fifteen years and was the first female ruler in history.

The sixth place is Yehenala Xingzhen - Cixi. If calculated based on territory, Cixi may be the most powerful female ruler in history, and she is also the ruler who caused the most humiliation in modern Chinese history.
