Why are there only two gods in the ancient king s temple? Who are they?

They are Song Shenzong and Mingshenzong, because the name of Shenzong is praised and depreciated, and Wang Anshi's reform of Song Shenzong not only did not solve practical problems, but intensified the party strife, and Mingshenzong made a mess of the country. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty did not choose Shenzong as the temple number.

One is Zhao Ji of Song Shenzong, and the other is Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong. God here is not revered, but there is a deep irony.

Because these two gods are the innate gods in traditional Chinese mythology. They are Haotian God, and Houtu Niangniang.

This founding king was Li Cunmiao, the emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty. Li Cunmiao was originally a member of the Shatuo tribe, and his father Li Keyong was given the surname "Li" because of his merits, and he was also compiled into the genealogy of the Li Tang clan. During the reign of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court set up the position of Jiedu envoy in order to stabilize the security of the border.

Among them, Li Keyong was appointed as the envoy of the Hedong Festival, and in 895, he was also named the king of Jin for his meritorious service in saving the driver. After being named the king of Jin, Li Keyong took advantage of the chaos to seize the Hedong region, that is, the Jin Kingdom.

After Li Keyong's death, Li Cunmiao, who was his son, inherited the throne of King Jin. Li Cunmiao is a very intelligent and brave man, and he has been following Li Keyong to fight everywhere in his early years. After he assumed the throne of King Jin, he successively led the army to attack Houliang and Khitan, and took Hebei and Hezhong as his own.

Under his rule, the Jin kingdom grew stronger and stronger. In April 923, Li Cunmiao complied with the proposal to proclaim himself emperor in Weizhou. Because their family had been written into the genealogy of the Li Tang clan earlier, Li Cunmiao thought that he was the heir of the Tang Dynasty, so he adopted "Tang" as the country name.

In order to distinguish them, later generations called the regime created by Li Cunqiao "Later Tang".

After Li Cunmiao claimed the emperor and founded the country, he posthumously presented his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather as emperors, among which the temple name used by Li Ke was Taizu. After being proclaimed emperor, Li Cunqiao sent troops to destroy Later Liang and Qianshu, and the strength of the Later Tang Dynasty was further strengthened. However, after entering the later period of his reign, Li Cunmiao became increasingly obsessed with sound, and there was no way to employ people, so problems such as interfering in the harem and favoring eunuchs appeared one after another.

Based on the emergence of these problems, social contradictions gradually intensified, and the feudal towns, soldiers, and common people were separated one after another.

Under such circumstances, a mutiny finally broke out in the post-Tang Dynasty. In 926, a Later Tang general named Guo Congqian led his army into the palace, and although Li Cunqiao personally led the army to resist, he eventually died at the hands of a stray arrow. After Li Cunmiao's death, his body was set on fire, and his temple name was finally determined to be "Zhuangzong".

As the eldest son of Li Cunqiao, Li Jiqi was also forced to hang himself not long after due to his invincibility, and finally the throne of the Later Tang Dynasty was inherited by Li Keyong's adopted son Li Siyuan.

It was Li Cunmiao, who was the founding emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, because the Later Tang regime claimed to inherit the Zhengshuo of the Tang Dynasty, so it did not call him "ancestor".

He was the founding monarch of the Later Tang Dynasty. Li Cunmiao is extremely brave and good at fighting, and good at strategy, after his death, he went to the temple called Zhuangzong, and posthumously became the Emperor Min Xiao, the holy god of light.

This person is Li Cunmiao, the Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, he was not originally a Han Chinese, but a member of the Shatuo tribe, and this surname was also given to him, so the regime he founded was called the Later Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian.

Xia Jingzong Li Yuanhao, Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunmian,

The emperor's temple number is based on the next emperor's merits and demerits of the previous emperor, the evaluation of this emperor, the temple number given, the temple number "God" represents the emperor's reign, he did something beneficial to the people, but also did some bad things for the people, the general evaluation is difficult to comment, people are speechless.

In Chinese history, it is not surprising that there are various temple names, and the appearance of "god" is very special, in Chinese history, there are only two - "Song Shenzong" and "Mingshenzong"; These two emperors, during their own reigns, have done things that are beneficial to the people, such as Wang Anshi's reform during the Song Dynasty and Zhang Juzheng's reform during the Mingshenzong period, both of which made the dynasty revival and prosperous. But in their later period, the dynasty began to decline, and even the Wanli period of the Ming God Sect directly laid a foundation for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in general, the people were speechless about them, so there was a temple number of "god".

To sum up, the temple number is used to evaluate the merits and demerits of the emperor, and the "god" represents the speechlessness of the people of the dynasty towards the dynasty.

The emperor's temple name was given by his descendants, which was an evaluation of the rule of the previous emperor, and it should be the meaning that the later emperor was very speechless to the previous emperor.

In ancient East Asia, emperors or kings had "temple numbers", and after the Tang Dynasty, temple numbers were basically used to evaluate the life merits of emperors. In ancient Chinese history, there were three emperors with "Shenzong" as the temple name: Song Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Xia Shenzong of the Western Xia Dynasty and Mingshenzong of the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, Song Shenzong and Mingshenzong were the emperors of the orthodox dynasty, while Xia Shenzong was the monarch of the secession dynasty.

So, what does "God" mean?

All of this starts with the earliest "Divine Sect" - Song Shenzong.

The tragedy of the Northern Song Dynasty. From a certain point of view, even in the later period of Song Huizong's reign, there were no Jin soldiers to go south, and according to the degree of corruption of the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty court had already entered a state of countdown - after all, peasant uprisings came and went, and Song Huizong did not know how to cherish the people's power at all.

Western Xia Divine Sect. In fact, as early as the time of Song Renzong, there was serious corruption in the Northern Song Dynasty. To this end, Song Renzong also implemented the "Qingli New Deal", hoping to reform the malpractices, but this new policy quickly failed.

After the death of Song Renzong, the successor Song Yingzong reigned for only four years, and then Song Shenzong succeeded to the throne.

Emperor Shenzong actually inherited the mess left by Renzong. Song Shenzong faced increasingly severe social problems, so he supported Wang Anshi to change the law. However, in feudal society, the success rate of law change is extremely low, and there are few successful cases.

In the end, Wang Anshi's reform failed, and what was even more terrible was that the bureaucrats at the grassroots level implemented Wang Anshi's decree through "flexibility", which led to a more serious burden on the people of the Northern Song Dynasty and a worse social problem.

Myojinzong. For all this, Song Shenzong couldn't come up with a solution at all. In the end, he died with hatred.

At the time of his death, when the first of the imperial court was the temple number of Shenzong, according to the "people are incapable of calling the gods" in the Zhou Gong Law, (meaning that the people cannot evaluate the name of God), the temple number of Song Shenzong was formulated as "God". The so-called "unevaluative" is actually a euphemism, which can be regarded as synonymous with incompetence, absurdity, and ridiculousness.

The situation of "Song Shenzong" set a precedent for later generations, that is, the temple name of the emperor who failed to reform or was incompetent during his reign was formulated as "Shenzong". The Western Xia Divine Sect and the Ming God Sect in later generations all belong to this category.

During the reign of the Western Xia Shenzong, there were Mongolians outside the Western Xia who were eyeing the Western Xia, but even so, the Western Xia Shenzong still insisted on fighting a perennial war with the Jin State, and in the end, most of the elite and wealth of the Western Xia were buried in the Golden Xia War, and the Western Xia did not get any benefits in this war.

A few years after the death of the Western Xia Shenzong, the Mongols fell to the Western Xia. It can be said that the Western Xia Divine Sect occupies a great responsibility for the demise of the Western Xia.

During the reign of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli was greedy for pleasure and neglected government, and the minority areas under the rule of the Wanli court rebelled against the Wanli court, the most typical of which was the establishment of the Houjin Khanate by Nurhachi, and the Han people were also empty because of the Wanli Emperor's knocking on the bones and marrow, and the people were not happy. The fall of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli was very responsible.

Ancient emperors, in addition to their names, often have many titles, such as the year name, the name of the name, the honorific name, the temple number, etc., the year name is very easy to understand, such as the Wanli Emperor, the Guangxu Emperor.

After the death of the emperor, it was agreed by the rites and customs, and the title of the final coffin of his life was summarized, which was good and bad, and the literature, martial arts, scenery, and propaganda were all good, and the spirit, force, sorrow, and nostalgia were not good.

The honorific name, also called the emblem, is completely flattery, and there are many words, and the word Cixi is the honorific name.

The temple number, the ancient emperor's family had a special temple, called the Taimiao, which enshrined the tablets of the emperors of the past dynasties, and it was not appropriate to directly call the name, since it entered the temple, then give a temple number.

Generally, the founding emperor is called the ancestor, and the later ones are called the ancestors, but there are also those who are particularly outstanding in civil and martial arts, and they can also be called ancestors, such as Ming Chengzu and Qing Shengzu, of course, they were added by the later emperors.

Song Shenzong Zhao Ji.

Since a good emperor gives a good temple number, the bad emperor naturally has unceremonious ones, such as Tang Xuanzong, the word Xuanzi is a Taoist usage, which is very vague and obscure, in fact, it is ridiculing Li Longji; Emperor Chongzhen's temple name Sizong, his temple number has been changed back and forth, and finally the Manchu Qing Dynasty gave him a thought, and he reflected on it after the Ming Dynasty died.

Mingshenzong Zhu Yijun, also known as Emperor Jiajing.

Finally, let's talk about the two emperors of the temple name Shenzong in the history mentioned by the subject, one Song Shenzong, the failure of political reform and the defeat of military troops, and the other Mingshenzong, who did not go to court for decades, and the country was in a miasma, I have to say that these two have been very controversial since ancient times.

Therefore, the descendants gave them a god word on the temple number, in ancient times, the god was heavenly, how could it be easily added to a mortal, it can only be said that this person is out of mortal behavior, only God can understand, which also reflects the mentality of the court officials at that time, tacitly.

In the end, the emperors with "God" in the temple number of the past dynasties are those emperors who have a bad evaluation, the good temple name is not suitable for him, and the bad temple name is not suitable for him, so in a dilemma, it is very appropriate to use a bad and not bad temple name like "God"!

I think there are only two gods, because they had considerable decisions about policies or national governance at that time, and they may have some deeds in history that are enough to be called gods, but it is not excluded that they decided on their own, and there are many variables. In fact, there are many people who say that the title of this god is not a good meaning, and it may be impossible to say that they are belittling and ridiculing them.

The two temple names of the ancient emperors with "gods" were Zhao Ji of Song Shenzong and Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong. The two of them have one thing in common: they both implemented changes during their reigns.

I think it represents that.

The emperor's name includes: year name, posthumous title, mausoleum number, temple name.

The title of a suicide note is a general term for a person's life after death. Fan Zhongyan's posthumous name is "Wenzheng", which is supposed to be the highest honor bestowed by the emperor on civil servants;

The name of the tomb refers to the tomb where the emperor was buried after his death. Its name is Jingling, and it is the mausoleum where Emperor Kangxi was buried.

As for the name of the temple, it is a plaque of the deity enshrined in the temple after the emperor's death. The name "ancestor" generally refers to the founder of a country or the founder of a dynasty; The person with the surname "Zong" is generally the king of Shoucheng.

In fact, this is how "Shi Fajie" explains the name of "God". People cannot be called God. The meaning of silence.

If you say yes, it seems like you can't get by; If you don't agree, you can't stand it. I don't know what to say. It is a temple name with two sensibilities.

As for these two gods, what kind of "people without surnames" are?

Take a look at Zhao Xu, the god of the Song Dynasty. He was the eldest son of Zhao Shu, the sixth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Taizu learned the lessons of the late Tang Dynasty and adopted the policy of "managing money and collecting elite soldiers", unifying financial and military power to **, strengthening centralization of power, and weakening the locality**, resulting in a bloated bureaucracy in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The main purpose of these two methods was to share a share with privileged merchants, nobles, and bureaucrats, and to reduce the treatment of some clans, such as moving the ancestral cards of several generations of ancestors into the ancestral halls of distant ancestors. The former harmed the interests of the grandparents of the Song gods, because they controlled the economic lifeline of the country and monopolized the commercial interests of the state; The latter harmed the interests of the Northern Song clan.

As a result, the reforms were met with strong opposition from my grandmother, mother and two younger brothers. Empress Dowager Gao said fiercely to Shenzong that if we change the ancestral method like this, the entire Zhao family will be destroyed in the hands of Wang Anshi. The spearhead is directed at the Song Dynasty Shenzong.

Zhao Xu didn't dare to say anything to his mother. He had to be angry with his younger brother Zhao Hao. It was I who ruined the Zhao family.

You go for it. Zhao Hao said fearfully: Why.
