The Unrecognized Dynasties in Chinese History

In Chinese history, the change of dynasties or regimes often cares about one reason. Pay attention to the famous teacher and the right words. Otherwise, later historians will question this and deny its legitimacy, which will part of the actual existence. The regime cuts out the official history in order to face it up.

There are many regimes in Chinese history that have not been embraced by official history, and some of the powerful countries that actually exist have not become part of the transmission of our orthodox dynasty. Of course, first of all, they are different from separatist regimes, such as Cheng Han, Southern Tang and others. As a dynasty, it often represents a period of history in China, similar to the Han, Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties, which specifically refers to our country for a certain period of time. However, sometimes, in times of chaos in the country, four heroes split the soil and ruled, leading to disunity of the country. We regard the strongest legal system and occupy a vital position as orthodox, such as and the five generations in the late Tang Dynasty. Of course, some of the Pian'an regimes are also based on royal blood.

Chinese Dynasty

In history, there are many regimes that can be regarded as orthodoxy, but they are not recognized by the official history. On the one hand, they are unjustified, on the other hand, they are difficult to justify, and the influence is very small. Well, of course, all of this is consequential. For example, the swallows of Anlushan and the Qi of Huangchao are themselves rebellious. Although they occupied , Chang'an, Luoyang and Guanzhong Central Plains, they did not really perish the Tang Dynasty, and the late Tang Dynasty was all within a short period of time. Defeating them and restoring the country is not understandable. Xuanhan belongs to the reckless regime and has no actual control of the world at all, so it is not considered reasonable. The pseudo-qi is contemptuous by later generations, and it can't be counted by seeing and hearing it.

and then like Huan Chu ,Although it took Eastern Jin instead, it was not recognized by the world at that time, and it was defeated by the rest of the Eastern Jin forces led by Liu Yu within a short period of time. It should not be counted. Then there are Zhang Bangchang’s Chu, and Li Zicheng’s Dashun. The existence time is too short, and it is only a matter of tens of days. In the long history of thousands of years, dozens of days are indeed too short, and more importantly, none Controls too much territory, so it is understandable not to accept it.

Next, let's briefly understand the few dynasties in history that were not accepted and recognized by official history.

Yuchao

1, Yuchao

A dynasty that seems to exist only in legends, occurred in the late Five Emperors, usually refers to the establishment of Emperor Shun after Yao's death A dynasty. People usually associate the Tao Tang established by Yao with the Yu Dynasty and call it Tang Yu.

The Yu dynasty was different from the Tao and Tang dynasties. After Emperor Shun came to the throne, he carried out a huge transformation and division of labor in the original tribal management mode. Ling Qi is in charge of enlightenment, Gao Tao is in charge of punishment, he is responsible for the construction of the project, and Yi is responsible for hunting in the mountains and forests. , The unqualified personnel were replaced, and a complete imperial court was built.

Emperor Shun's diligent farming

Huaxia also moved from the tribal system to the important road of the dynasty system.With the efforts of Emperor Shun, the Yu Dynasty created a governance world in the Central Plains of ancient China, which was admired by later generations.

The Yu Dynasty was not recognized mainly because of the lack of historical data, and the lack of time was still very early. In during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period , the records of the Yu Dynasty were almost lost, and since then it has become a legend. Later, after thousands of years passed, these very long stories became a kind of faith history, and gradually they were not adopted by official history.

Hanjun

2, Han Dynasty

If Yu Dynasty was not adopted, then Han Dynasty was erased by later generations. This period of history, sandwiched in the middle of the Xia Dynasty, has never been recognized by most people.

In the Xia Dynasty, Dongyi Youqiong tribe rose up, and its leader Houyi was good at riding and shooting, and was ambitious. From then on, Hou Yi was not the Hou Yi who shot the sun, but the real Yi who shot the sun was the archer of Emperor Yao, who was separated from the leader of the Youqiong clan for hundreds of years. After the death of Xia Qi, Taikang came to the throne. Xia Qi's fifth son, Wu Guan, thought he was the most capable. At that time, when the eldest son inheritance system had not yet been developed, Wu Guan thought he should ascend the throne.

However, the other princes thought the same way, so the dispute between the princes caused the political chaos in the Xia Dynasty. Seeing this situation, the careerist Hou Yi decisively sent troops to attack the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty and seized the Xia Dynasty. Ruling power, but since the princes were thinking about Xia and the Xia dynasty clan was strong, they only took the emperor to order the princes, and when the time was right, they could go further. ,Han Yun gradually gained the trust of Houyi, and became a rapist with Houyi's concubine Chunhu, killing all of Houyi's confidantes, and then holding power in the first 2022, killing Houyi as a king and reforming the country. The name is Han, and almost killed the Youqiong clan in Houyi.

Shaofengguo

Although Hanjun replaced Houyi, but the real control of the territory is not large, all are the princes of the Xia Dynasty, so after Hanjun ascended the throne for more than ten years, he launched In the battle to destroy the Xia, the Xiadu was captured, and Xia Dynasty was destroyed after several years. Xiahou's only posthumous son Shaokang.

Hanjun has been in power for 55 years. When Shaokang was in his thirties, Hanjun, who was over 80, was already vulnerable. After that, Shaokang gathered his own army. After several years, he perished the Han Dynasty, entered the Han clan, and recovered the Xia Dynasty, known as Shaokang Zhongxing in history.

The reason why Han Dynasty was not recognized is probably because it was too cruel, and got incorrectly, and Hanjun was not a good person, and the important point was that historical materials were missing, so Han Dynasty did not get it. recognize.

Xinchao

3. Xinchao

The new dynasty was created by Wangmang , Guozuo fifteen years. In the late Western Han Dynasty, because of the existence of the long-lived Wang Zhengjun, the Wang family became the most prominent relatives in the late Western Han Dynasty. Coupled with Wang Mang's superb ability, he quickly surpassed other elders and elder brothers, and after ups and downs, he became the spokesperson of the Wang family.

Because Confucianism was highly respected at the end of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, as a master of Confucianism, was proficient in various etiquette and knowledge,Coupled with the packaging, it is a perfect person when presented to the world, and it has become the benchmark of the world's scholars. That is to say, Wang Mang was packaged as a saint when he was in power. At that time, it was omnipotent.

Therefore, at that time, Wang Mang not only mastered the power of government, but also held the heart of the world's scholars. Later, when the Western Han Dynasty was in doubt, he deliberately created visions and fabricated the possibility of usurping the throne. Invented a groundbreaking ceremony for the handover of the throne of three resignations and three transfers. In the end, Wang Mang changed his dynasty peacefully and established a new dynasty in 9 AD.

Red-Browed Copper Horse Lvlin Uprising

However, after Wang Mang ascended the throne, he was eager to make merits and carried out a series of reforms that were not in line with the actual situation at the time. As a result, the people all over the world could not eat enough. Peasant uprisings blossomed everywhere, with green forests in the south, red eyebrows in the east, and bronze horses in the north. Together with other small forces, the peasant uprisings were simply overwhelming.

In the end, the army of the new dynasty lost sight of one another, and was first bound by red eyebrows and bronze horses, giving the green forest room to grow. Then he was greatly injured by the Green Forest Army in the battle of Kunyang , and finally perished at the hands of the Green Forest Army in AD 23.

Wang Mang’s new dynasty was not accepted by the official history, mainly Eastern Han later dynasties classified Wang Mang’s concession as usurpation, and the subsequent Eastern Han Dynasty was regarded as the mantle of the Han Dynasty, so later dynasties thought of their own country. If he did not want Wang Mang to be in the world, he would deny all Wang Mang's deeds and would not admit the existence of the new dynasty.

The map of Wu Zhou

4. Wu Zhou

Wu Zhou, an era created by a generation of empresses and Wu Zetian ,The country is strong and the world is stable. It is similar to the Xinmang dynasty, which has existed for fifteen or six years. However, later historians did not list Wu Zhou as an independent dynasty, but classified it as an integral part of the Tang dynasty.

Wu Zetian, as a generation of great women in Chinese history, began to get involved in government affairs in the middle and late periods of Tang Gaozong. Because Gaozong was in poor health, Wu Zetian was also allowed to to listen to politics in the court, assisting and even acting as an agent. Gaozong handles government affairs. After the death of Tang Gaozong, Wu Zetian naturally controlled the overall situation of the court. Zhongzong Li Xian and Ruizong Li Dan took the throne one after another, but they were both abolished by Wu Zetian.

In 690 AD, Wu Zetian arranged a good show. At the request of the world, he enthroned and called the emperor the empress. At the same time, at the request of the ministers, he changed the name of the country to Great Zhou and made the capital Luoyang, which was called Wu Zhou in history. However, due to the large number of opponents of Li's clan, Wu Zetian used cruel staff to brutally suppress and massacre the Li's royal family.

Wu Zetian

During the fifteen years of Wu Zetian’s rule, it was a very important period of rise in the Tang Dynasty. Thanks to the efforts of many wise ministers, the economy of the Wu Zhou regime grew rapidly, and it was able to fight abroad. Coping with ease, the people settled in peace, the population increased by nearly one million households, continuing the upward momentum of Emperor Taizong's Gaozong period, and laying a solid foundation for the prosperity of and Xuanzong period.

However, in the last years of Wu Zetian, due to hesitation on the heir to the throne, a group of veteran Li and Tang officials, such as Zhang Cambodiazhi and Di Renjie, decisively launched a coup and led troops into the palace. It was announced that Wu Zetian abdicated and was succeeded by Zhongzong Li Xian.

The reason why Wu Zhou was not recognized is probably that it inherited all the systems of the Tang Dynasty, and finally returned to the Tang Dynasty, which is more like a continuation of the Tang Dynasty in another way than a new dynasty.

Yuan Shikai proclaimed the emperor

5. Chinese Empire

Mention the name of the Chinese Empire, perhaps everyone is not familiar with it, because this short-lived regime that only existed for almost three months was Even later, the people all over the world pointedly pointed out, and 10,000 people spit it. Because of this short-lived historical event, the most influential figures in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China rebelled against their relatives, and they also bore eternal infamy.

That person is Yuan Shikai , that incident was Yuan Shikai proclaiming emperor, that regime is the so-called Chinese Empire, a constitutional monarchy imitating the established by the British Empire.

As we all know, Yuan Shikai was an important driving force in the history of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. He was also the only great figure in that era who could control the world. He announced to the world in 1912, forcing Qing emperor to abdicate. Then, in cooperation with the Southern Revolutionary Party, the first generation of the Republic of China was established, with Yuan Shikai as president and Song Jiaoren cabinet. The cabinet is basically a revolutionary party. Because they do not know how to govern the country, they have caused a series of chaos. After that, Yuan Shikai forcibly squeezed into the political arena, squeezed the cabinet, and made drastic reforms.

Chinese Empire Coin

​In 1915, Yuan Shikai had basically achieved dictatorship, but he did not want to stop there, but was more willing to make progress, so he faced more and more Many public opinion groups claiming to represent public opinion in support of Yuan Shikai’s throne (forged by their cronies),Yuan Shikai decided to change the state system and establish a constitutional monarchy, so he wanted to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor and establish the Chinese Empire.

On December 12, 1915, after months of internal manipulation, Yuan Shikai became the emperor. But afterwards, Cai E and Tang Jiyao came up to defend the country. Yuan Shikai's trusted generals in Beiyang also received electricity and did not support Yuan Shikai's claim to the emperor. In addition, the powers were obstructed by it. Yuan Shikai was forced to announce its cancellation on March 22, 1916. Monarchy, died of illness more than two months later.

The Chinese Empire is not recognized, and the main reason is more like a farce in the context of drastic changes in the times and the thought of the old era entering the new era of thought.
