In recent years, with the popularity of costume dramas, we know more and more about ancient history. Especially the hot broadcast of palace dramas, let us know more and more about things in the palace. For example, the term "Father Emperor", we often see. Generally speaking, this is the name given to the emperor by the emperor's children. But in fact, this is not the case. The name of the emperor's children to the emperor is not just as simple as the father.
Qin Shihuang had many regulations when he created the emperor system. The emperor's self-proclaimed, the emperor's power, the emperor's seal and other aspects have clear regulations, but there are no special rules for the name of the emperor by the emperor's children. This shows one thing. In the beginning, the emperor’s children were not called the emperor's father, so what were they called at that time?
In fact, the emperor’s children are called emperors like ordinary people, and they are usually fathers or fathers. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Queen Mother often said to Song Gaozong, "How is your father?" It can be seen that the royal children at that time were called the emperor and the father. When we watch "Daming Fenghua", we can also find that the son of 朱棣 is also called Zhu Di, and he does not have the title of father and emperor. Of course, in addition to being called father, sometimes called father, but this is a more formal occasion.
Since there are film and television dramas that call it "Father Emperor", this shows that there is such a title. Then when did the title of "Father Emperor" appear? According to "History of the Ming Dynasty": the prince named the king, before the emperor, he called himself "the first son of a certain king", and called the emperor "His Majesty the Father" and "Ming Dynasty·Ritual Ten·Information Ritual"). Therefore, the historical data of the Ming Dynasty can confirm that the prince called his father "Father Emperor". It is hard to say whether there was such a title before the Ming Dynasty. Of course, it is sometimes called the emperor's father, and the two meanings are the same.
In addition to the father, there is also 清朝 in the palace drama. Because the Qing Dynasty is a Manchu, the word Ama is Manchu, meaning father. Therefore, many people say in the novels that the children of the Qing imperial family called the emperor the Emperor Ama, but in fact, this is not the case. The history books of the Qing Dynasty always record that it is called "Khan Ama" and never writes "Huang Ama". Because the Qing Dynasty was a Manchu, the Manchu people called their leader Dahan, and the Han people were called the emperor. As the children of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, they must be called by the Manchu. That's why it is called Khan Ama.
Now we know that there are many things that are inconsistent with facts in film and television works. In fact, it is not only that there is a problem with the title of the emperor, but in the real history, the empress dowager and the empress never call themselves mourners. This is also fabricated by later generations.
