Why didn t the monarch of Qin before Qin Shi Huang call himself emperor?

Weighed, it's just that you don't know.

In 288 BC, Wei Ran, the prime minister of Qin, proposed that King Qin Zhao be called emperor, and in order to elevate himself, but also to attack his neighbors and drive a wedge between Qi and the eastern countries, he sent Wei Ran to Qi in October to persuade King Min of Qi to be emperor, Qin as the Western Emperor, and Qi as the Eastern Emperor. King Min of Qi agreed, so Qin and Qi were officially called emperors, for the Eastern Emperor and the Western Emperor. Soon, the king of Qi accepted Su Qin's strategy and reached an agreement with various countries to attack Qin by going to the emperor.

Qi went to the emperor to reclaim the title of king, and King Qin Zhaoxiang also canceled the emperor's title. This is the event of the two emperors of the East and West in history.

Because the title of emperor was invented by Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and thought that his merits overshadowed the three emperors and five emperors, so he named him emperor, and the kings before him naturally did not claim the title of emperor.

If you can't be called an emperor, Qin Shi Huang's strength has not completely surpassed that of the Six Kingdoms.

At that time, there was no title of "emperor", the highest was called "king" like Zhou Tianzi, and the seven heroes of the Warring States were all called kings, and after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he felt that everyone was called kings and could not highlight his status, so he chose the "emperor" of "Gonggai Three Emperors and Dechao Five Emperors" as his title, so he was the "first emperor".

Because the unification of the six countries has not been realized, only the unified country can be called emperor.

Before the Qin Dynasty, there was no title of emperor, and at that time there were only kings and monarchs. After Qin unified the six kingdoms, Yingzheng took one of the three emperors and five emperors and called him emperor. From then on, the title of emperor remained the title of the ruler of China until the Xinhai Revolution, when it was discontinued.

Yes, but there is no concept of an emperor yet.

Before Qin Shi Huang, King Qin Zhaoxiang was called emperor. After the unification of the six countries by the Qin State, Qin Shi Huang believed that his merits were huge and incomparable, so he took the words "emperor" and "emperor" respectively among the three emperors and five emperors, and called "the first emperor". Later emperors began to use the title of emperor.

Before Qin Mugong, starting from Qin Wengong, there was chaos in the succession of the throne for several generations. Because of this phenomenon, the upward momentum of the Qin State starting from Qin Xianggong was curbed. When the throne reached Qin Mugong, the Qin State began to rejuvenate and became the overlord of Xirong!

Qin Mugong is not simple, in the history of Qin, he is a peak, a benchmark for the monarchs of Qin, and unique among all the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States!

Speaking of the 38 monarchs in the history of Qin, not many can be remembered, in addition to the three founders, the famous Qin monarchs are: Qin Mugong, Qin Xiangong, Qin Xiaogong, Qin Huiwen Wang, Qin Wu Wang, Qin Zhaoxiang Wang, Qin Zhuang Xiang Wang, among which the most accomplished Qin King should be Qin Xiaogong, and the most capable Qin King should be Qin Huiwen King.

King Qin Zhaoxiang is the most powerful king of Qin, he has reigned for the longest time, and he has done a lot, and he is one of the rare monarchs in history.

Emperor is just a title, Ying Zheng believes that he is virtuous and high in the title of the three emperors, and the title of the five emperors is not enough to show his power and status, so he combined the names of the three emperors and the five emperors into the emperor.

It was because Qin Shi Huang felt that his merits had surpassed those of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, so he called himself the emperor.

Because such a title is unique and particularly domineering, it will give itself such a title.

Mainly because the Qin Dynasty in history was the first great unification of the whole country, so it can be called the Great Qin Empire.

Because the Qin State at that time completed the unification and unified many things, the culture and writing habits of many countries at that time were completely different, but the Qin Dynasty achieved unification.

Because the Qin Dynasty was strong, militarily strong, and economically strong, it was a very large and powerful government in China, and it was also very strict in the management of the country.

1.First of all, the name emperor was coined by Qin Shi Huang, and the people before him certainly did not know this name. If Qin Shi Huang took a separate name, he would inherit that name later.

Therefore, it is impossible for either the king of Chu, the king of Han, or the king of Yan to be the emperor, because they feel that the biggest one is the king of Zhou, and in order to show that they are powerful, it is the greatest honor to compare their names with him. Therefore they are kings.

2.Before Qin Shi Huang, due to the limitations of management technology, no king could manage such a large area of land in a unified manner. Therefore, the use of feudalism is actually a federal system, the autonomy of each small country, the Son of Heaven is also a symbolic meaning, the right is not very big, the main function of the Son of Heaven is to coordinate contradictions, sacrifice to God to bless peace.

It can also be seen from the "Book of Songs" that the national customs of various countries are very different, and the Son of Heaven wants to send people to various feudal countries to collect wind and understand the dynamics of the people. And the national style is part of the sacrificial rites.

3.From the perspective of various feudal countries, there is a Son of Heaven who is also a dialogue window with other countries, so he is also willing to take a little tribute to the Son of Heaven every year. These are also only for the daily and sacrificial use of the Son of Heaven, which is also part of religious belief, and the Son of Heaven is also a channel for dialogue with God.

Since you don't care much about me, I don't have a problem. I have solved many of the problems of my own feudal country. You are the Son of Heaven, and I am also the King of the Kingdom, so there is nothing special different.

It's just that there are some rituals in form, and the personality is still equal. I can't control the big place, so I still have to divide it. There is no need to worry about being the emperor and competing with the Son of Heaven.

4.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, technology developed, and it became possible for a single king to rule over a larger territory, so the princes still competed for land with each other, and wars broke out, and contradictions and frictions became irreconcilable. Later, some princes no longer took the king of Zhou seriously, and even organized a meeting by themselves, and would invite the king of Zhou to make up the number.

There are even things like this that happened to the king of Chu. But the king of Chu also has the meaning of replacing him, that is, he wants to become the next son of heaven. But the power is in his hands, and the king of Zhou is not as disobedient as the king of Shang, and his teacher is unknown, so he just asks.

Just like the emperor of Japan has no real power, but he has not changed it for thousands of years. If you use this despicable means, others may also use this means in the future, and future generations may not be able to keep this false name, which will only increase the war. In this way, the king and the administration were separated, and many of these unnecessary internal wars were reduced.

This is true in the United Kingdom, and it is also true in Japan.

Therefore, the people before Qin Shi Huang did not claim the title of emperor. And after Qin Shi Huang, after being called the emperor, the descendants could not be saved, but were occupied and killed. Every dynastic change is a river of blood, and the struggle for the throne within the dynasty is also tragic, so the imperial system of Qin Shi Huang should be the failure of our culture.

Power is concentrated, internal friction is surging, culture and technology have no possibility of development, and the world of living beings becomes the world of the emperor alone.

This is because his credit is very large, even higher than the three emperors and five emperors at that time, so the three emperors and five emperors are combined and called the emperor; It's not that there are no other titles to use, but to show his dignity.

This is due to the fact that Qin Shi Huang merged the names of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, so he named himself Emperor. There are other names that can be used, but none of them are as noble as this one.

The main reason is that Qin Shi Huang called himself emperor in order to reflect his unique contribution, and it is not that there are no other titles available.

Qin Shi Huang: Ying's surname, Zhao's family, Mingzheng, also known as Zhao Zheng, Qin Zheng, or Zulong, the son of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, a famous politician, strategist, and reformer in Chinese history, and an iron-fisted political figure who completed the unification of China.

1. He was the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the first unified dynasty in Chinese history, and the first monarch in China to be called emperor, which had a profound impact on the history of China and the world, pushed China into the era of great unification, and laid the basic pattern of China's political system for more than 2,000 years.

2. Implement the three public and nine secretaries in the first class to manage national affairs; Locally, the sub-feudal system was abolished, and the county system was replaced by the county system, which was the same as the socks and the Ming time, the same track, and the same track, and unified weights and measures; Attacking the Xiongnu in the north, conquering Baiyue in the south, building the city of Wan Jing's book, building the spiritual canal, and communicating the water system.

Mainly because Qin Shi Huang achieved the unification of the six countries, he was the first person in history and thought he was very great.

Personally, I think that the reason why Emperor Qin Shixiao was called the emperor after the unification of the six countries was because he was invincible at this time, which could highlight his overlord temperament, so at this time, he was called the emperor's friend, and it was influential.

represents his own credit, Qin Shi Huang has always been a more ambitious person, so he will do this.
