Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is a famous period of chaos in my country's history. At that time, many forces attacked each other on the entire land of China, and the troubles lasted for half a century.
is rarely mentioned in later generations, and even textbooks rarely write about it. This is the history that is unbearable to look back on, but it is an important moment for the transformation of Chinese culture.
How chaotic are the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms with the fourteen emperors in the storm for fifty years? , that needs to start from , after the demise of of the Tang Dynasty.
th generation refers to which fifth generation?
Five Dynasties refer to the late Tang Dynasty. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Tianyou in the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains region successively surging and five regimes were drawn - Houliang , Houtang , Houjin , Houjin , Houhan and Houxin , Houhan and Houxin , Houhan and Zhou .
The opening of the fifth generation has a key figure - Zhu Wen , which is later the Taizu of Houliang.
Zhu Wen was a very ambitious person. He participated in the uprising in the second year of Qianfu and successively captured many important areas of the Central Plains at that time, which had begun to shake the status of the ruler at that time.
Then he joined the Tang Dynasty and made many military achievements. He recruited deputy envoys from Henan Central Camp and promoted them all the way. Finally, Emperor Xizong of Tang named him as King of Liang .
After the promotion, Zhu Wen took Henan as the center and continuously expanded his power to the surrounding areas, gradually becoming the largest force in the late Tang Dynasty. Finally, in the first year of the second day of the recovery of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, Zhu Wen raised his troops to enter the pass and started his own way to usurp the throne.
In the fourth year of Tianyou, Zhu Wen forced Emperor Ai of Tang Li Qi to give up the throne to himself, and then abolished the Tang Dynasty and renamed it Liang Dynasty . Since then, the chaotic period of the Five Dynasties has begun.
Zhu Wen killed the emperor of the Li family several dynasties and finally obtained the throne of emperor, but he did not get any good results. After six years of reign, he was killed by his own son at the age of 61.
The second regime of the Five Dynasties - Later Tang
The emergence of the Later Tang Dynasty originated from a well-known general in the late Tang Dynasty Li Keyong , and was nicknamed "Flying Huzi". Some people in the world may not know Li Keyong's name, but they must know an idiom " kills two birds with one stone ". This idiom comes from an allusion when Li Keyong was young.
Li Keyong and his father Li Guochang Once exiled to Tartar , people from the Tatar tribe learned that Li Keyong was brave and good at fighting and was very good at riding and shooting, so they asked him provocatively: "You can use one? Did the arrow shoot down two eagles? "
Li Keyong then pulled the bow and took the arrow, hitting two eagles in one arrow. Tatars were surprised, and since then they all admired and respected him very much.
Li Keyong originally did not have the surname Li, but Zhu Ye, Shatuo tribe , and The surname "Li" given to them by Emperor Yizong of Tang Dynasty. Li Keyong has no blood relationship with the Li Tang family. Although he has raised troops to attack Li Tang , he eventually became the last clan to protect Li Tang.
Li Keyong has served the king three times. Emperor Xizong of Tang and Emperor Zhaozong of Tang were rescued by him. Even if he was once suspicious of the Li family, he would not hold back his past grudges. After Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, he dominated Hedong and fought with Zhu Wen, who occupied Bianzhou, for the world, becoming Zhu Wen's biggest opponent.
But he never thought about Ling Liguo's name, but still used the reign of Tang Tianyou and insisted on reviving the Tang Dynasty. The reign of Tang Dynasty also left traces of many years in history due to his persistence.
The end of the fifth generation
After Li Keyong's death, his son inherited the throne and had already rectified the country very strongly, but because of civil strife, he was defeated by Khitan . Since then, the third regime of 5 dynasty later Jin Jin It was created.
The establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty cannot be separated from the help of the Khitan. In order to thank the Khitan for its help, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty Shi Jingtang he did not hesitate to call his father, who was 11 years younger than him, and he committed himself to his son Emperor for seven years. .
Later, Shi Jingtang passed away, and his son Shi Chonggui succeeded to the throne. Khitan tribe no longer hides its ambitions. He leads his troops to capture the capital, captures the Shao emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, Shi Chonggui, and changes Jin to Liao. Since then, the era of Jin has officially come to an end.
At the same time, a fierce general under Shi Jingtang Liu Zhiyuan is secretly planning to establish a kingdom. At that time, no one occupied the Central Plains, and Liu Zhiyuan was deeply loved by the old ministers of the Jin Dynasty, so he established the capital in Taiyuan, established the Later Han Dynasty, and pacified the Central Plains.
Later, not long after Liu Zhiyuan's death, another general who served in the Later Tang Dynasty was a general who served in Li Keyong's son. named Guo Wei . He raised his troops to break Kaifeng and overthrew the rule of Liu Zhiyuan's son. He put on a yellow robe. Established the Later Zhou Dynasty.
The post-zhou Zhou originally had great potential to unify the world. The Guo family worked hard to manage the country, govern the country with thrift, and changed the situation of dominating the military power with force in troubled times, and began to reuse talented and virtuous ministers. For a while, the country became smooth and peaceful. , the people are happy.
But the good times did not last long. All of this disappeared after the second emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, , Guo Rong, , passed away. After Guo Rong's death, his son succeeded to the throne less than half a year, and because of his incompetence in governing the country, he gave up the throne to Zhao Kuangyin .
After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he changed the country's name to "Song", which is known in history as Northern Song . After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, it conquered Hou Shu , pacified Southern Han , Southern Tang , unified the world, and the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties ended.
Ten countries Which ten countries are there?
The existence of the ten countries is at the same time and background as the Five Dynasties. It is precisely because of such chaotic times that so many countries can be divided.
Most of the ten countries have been built in the south, is located in Nanwu and Nantang in Nanjing, Wuyue in Hangzhou, Nanchu in Changsha, Qianshu in Sichuan, Qianshu and Houshu, nanhan in Guangdong, Nanping in Hubei, Nanping in Sichuan, nanhan in Sichuan, nanyang in Guangdong, nanyang in Hubei, nanyang in Hubei, nanyang in Nanyang in Sichuan, nanyang in Sichuan, nanyang in Guangdong, nanyang in Hubei, nanyang in southern China, nanyang in Sichuan, nanyang in Sichuan, nanyang in Sichuan, nanyang in Guangdong, nanyang in Hubei, nanyang in southern China, nanyang in Sichuan, nanyang in Sichuan, nanyang in Sichuan, nanyang in Hong Kong, nanyang in Guangdong, nanyang in Hubei, nanyang in southern China, nanyang in Sichuan, , Fujian , Fujian , plus a Beihan in Taiyuan.
Compared with the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later Zhou, the separatist regimes were relatively small. Although there were also countries with strong geographical advantages, they were also rich and powerful, but they were also unavoidable to be annexed by countries that were stronger than themselves.
was annexed and split, split and reorganized, but no matter how many times it had been reorganized and split, it was eventually completely unified by Zhao Kuangyin.
But although the ten countries are small, they have existed for longer than in each dynasty of the Five Dynasties. The longest existence of Houliang in the Five Dynasties has only been more than ten years, but the king of Hou Shu has guarded his Shu Kingdom for more than thirty years.
Although the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was the most chaotic period in Chinese history, in such a chaotic world, the culture of "word" has been developed very meaningfully. is the most famous of the Southern Tang Dynasty's central lord Li Jing and the latter lord Li Yu .
"When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come? How many things have you known about the past? The building was windy again last night, and my hometown couldn't bear to look back at the moonlight."
"The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red faces are changed. I ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like A river of spring water flows eastward. "
This famous song " Yu Meiren " is written by Li Yu. When the country is destroyed, it places emotions in this sad and beautiful poem. But it was also because this poem was heard by Emperor Taizong of Song that Li Yu was killed in anger.
Li Yu
The history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is too complicated. After several displaced, there are very few historical materials that can be left behind. So far, the traces of that era we can see are only a few words Just brought it by.
The chaos and beauty in that era can only be left to future generations to think carefully.
