About Chapter 31 Story Synopsis: Former Qin Emperor Fu Jian's crown prince Fu Chang died of injuries while resisting the Huan Wen Northern Expedition, Fu Jian was in pain because he took a fancy to Fu Chang, and soon became bedridden, although Fu Jian was worried that his son Fu Sheng was tyrannical and difficult to take on the big responsibility, but according to the prophecy, he set up his son Fu Sheng, who was born with one eye, as the crown prince, but after Fu Jian, Fu Sheng, who was born disabled, had a distorted mind and was absurd and tyrannical in politics, causing the former Qin Empire, which had just gained a foothold in the Guanzhong region, to fall into political turmoil.

For Fu Sheng's absurd and tyrannical behavior, I only listed a few in the story, in fact, if you go to the historical materials about Fu Sheng, you can find that in just two years after he succeeded to the throne, he did a lot of perverse things, and such a ridiculous tyrant as Fu Sheng is really rare in history. In this story, Fu Sheng tried to change the yuan after Fu Jian just drove Yan, which is similar to Yang Jun's edict at the beginning of the whole story, and we will talk about some things about the ancients.

In fact, the Gregorian calendar year we use now is after the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the newly established Republic of China began to be promulgated and used in order to be in line with international standards, in our ancient society, we have been using the lunar calendar, using the sexagenary branch to calculate the year month and date, until now, we have been using the lunar calendar, such as January 1, 2019 in the Gregorian calendar, we are on the lunar calendar is the twenty-sixth day of November in the year of Wuxu, and this has also gone through thousands of years of evolution, and our modern people have innovated the calendar, It is not the same as the calendar used by the ancient ancestors, so the lunar calendar we use now is also called the lunisolar calendar or the Han calendar. Of course, the establishment and promulgation of the calendar is a very advanced science, and we will only briefly talk about it.

However, it is too troublesome to calculate the year with the sexagenary branch, and the cultural level of our ancient ancestors is far less than the cultural level of modern people, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to facilitate the year, in 140 BC, the first era name in the history of our country was promulgated: Jianyuan, and it was changed every six years in the future, but the later emperors changed the year name according to the national conditions, also known as the change of the yuan, and no longer complied with the precedent of changing it once every six years, because the emperor promulgated the year name, and it was far more convenient to use the year name to date than the year of the sexagenary branch. Therefore, our ancient ancestors did not use the sexagenary branch to date the year, but determined the year according to the emperor's year name.

Generally speaking, when the founder of a dynasty ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, and at the same time promulgates his own year name, then the year in which he ascends the throne is called the first year of so-and-so, for example, in 140 BC, the ancient ancestors called this year the first year of Jianyuan, and 139 BC is the second year of Jianyuan, and so on. In saying that the year of the Common Era is not used by our ancient ancestors, but used by Western countries, the year of Jesus' death is called the first year of the Common Era, the year before the death of Jesus is called the first year of the Common Era, and the second year after the death of Jesus is also called the second year of the Common Era, referred to as the second year of the Common Era, and so on, the 140th year of the year of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty promulgated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, the first year of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, is one hundred and forty years before the death of Jesus, and we are now 2019 AD. Two thousand and nineteen years after Jesus' death. The first year of the Common Era was also the first year of the Western Han Dynasty, so Jesus and Liu Yin were contemporaries.

Of course, the era name promulgated by the feudal ruler can not only facilitate the people under his rule, but also facilitate the people to call the ruler of the current dynasty, so the emperor after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also called a certain emperor by the people at that time, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the ruler of the dynasty had only one year name, for example, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the year he established was called Hongwu, and the year he succeeded to the throne was called the first year of Hongwu, and he was also called Emperor Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang is often called Ming Taizu by later generations, Taizu is his temple number, after he died, the later emperor gave him a name, and he didn't know that he was called Ming Taizu when he was alive. Speaking of which, it involves the issue of the temple name, which is also a complicated issue, and I will briefly mention it again.

After the death of the ancients, all the descendants of people with a certain social status had to give their ancestors a nickname, which belonged to making a coffin conclusion for the deceased. Of course, as a courtier, the merit is particularly outstanding, after the death of the emperor to thank the minister for his diligence and also give the good words, the same troubled traitorous ministers, the emperors of later generations will also give evil words, such as after the death of Qin Hui, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou gave him the good words: loyalty, and after Song Ningzong succeeded to the throne, Qin Hui changed the evil words: false and ugly. The Qing Dynasty's Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang Borzigit has a lot of stories, but now in the TV series, there is a scene where the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang claims that I am Xiaozhuang, which is simply ridiculous, Xiaozhuang is also the name of Borzigit, and it is impossible for her to know during her lifetime. And the ancient emperor is naturally higher than other noble ministers, not only after death there is a name, there is also a temple number, the temple number is also an expression of the emperor's great achievements, but it is shorter than the name, so after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the reign of each emperor is relatively stable, and the name often has a lot of words, so the temple number with a relatively small number of words is often used by later generations to call the emperor. For example, a certain ancestor, such and such an ancestor is the temple number, and a certain emperor is the nickname, for example, Tang Taizong is the temple number of Li Shimin, Ming Chengzu is the temple number of Zhu Di, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the name of Liu Che, and Emperor Wen of Sui is the nickname of Yang Jian, but it is also the abbreviation of the emperor, and it has been confused now.

Because the temple names and nicknames of ancient emperors only existed after their deaths, it was impossible for them to be called such and such an emperor by others when they were alive, and it was also impossible to call themselves such and such a sect. You know, the name of the ancients is even more unlikely to be called directly, in the ancient people's exchanges between the people are regarded as very impolite, the name can only be self-proclaimed, or the elders of the name of the person, the people usually call other people's words, when the ancients gave names, they also took words, such as Zhuge Liang word Kong Ming, Sima Yi word Zhongda, when others call them are called: Mr. Kong Ming, Mr. Zhongda.

For the emperor, the status is noble, and the word cannot be called by the people, and even the name of the people cannot use the same word as the emperor's name, so there is a saying of avoidance. Then it is much more convenient to have the era name, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the people and the people directly use the name of the year to call the ruler of the dynasty as a certain emperor, such as Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the year name Yongle, it is called Yongle Emperor, Ming Sizong Zhu Youzhen, the year name Chongzhen, it is called Chongzhen Emperor, the Qing Shengzu Xuanye, the year name Kangxi, it is called Kangxi Emperor, Qing Shizong Yinzhen, the year name Yongzheng, it is called Yongzheng Emperor, so it will be very convenient for the title of the emperor.

It can be seen that the role of the era name is actually very large, therefore, each new emperor ascends the throne attaches great importance to the role of the era name, in order to keep the year not chaotic, it is often the new emperor who first formulates the year name, and waits until the first emperor dies on the first day of the second year of the New Year, and then begins to use his own year name, of course, in the feudal dynasty, there will be two emperors who died in the same year, that is, the new emperor who succeeded to the throne has not survived the Spring Festival of that year and died of illness, then, it is generally the year name of the year when the first emperor died to the year name of the second emperorThe name of the third emperor was still used at the beginning of the new year, of course, this situation is relatively rare. The founding emperor and the previous dynasty of the emperor of the dead emperor often overlap, which also appeared in the same year of the Gregorian calendar, our country appeared more than two years of the year, such as the year of the martyrdom of Emperor Chongzhen, marking the fall of the Ming Dynasty in 1644 AD, which is not only the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, but also the first year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, or the first year of Yongchang when Li Zicheng established the Dashun regime and the first year of Dashun when Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime.

In the period of war, it was difficult for the central dynasty to control the local government, and because the ancient news was blocked, when the world was in turmoil, it was even more difficult for the central government's decrees to be conveyed to the locality, resulting in the local people could not know the central era name, so there were many rulers of the separatist regime, although they did not claim the title of emperor, but in order to ensure the convenience of the production and life of the people under their rule, and also demonstrated their status as the lord of the country, they also established their own era name, of course, Of course, there were cases where the rulers of the secessionist regimes continued to use the era name of the central dynasty, and even if the reigning emperor had died and the new emperor issued a new era name, the rulers of the local powers still used the era name of the deceased emperor in their own jurisdictions, either for unknown reasons or to show their loyalty to the deceased emperor. Because the chronology is a matter of great concern to everyone, it is a very important matter to determine the era name, and later generations will also determine the mark of the existence of local government during the war period in the previous life through the judgment of the era name. For example, the former Liang regime that we know has never determined its own country name, and after the death of the Western Jin Dynasty emperor, it continued to use the era name of the Western Jin Dynasty, but after Sima Rui established the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime, the ruler of Liangzhou established his own era name, so we also think that Zhang's Liangzhou is actually a secession regime.

Regarding the ancient calendar and patriarchal system, we will talk about it here, because this knowledge is still a very high and profound problem, for thousands of years all dynasties have reformed and sorted out the calendar and patriarchal system, even now, our historians are sparing no effort through modern scientific and technological means, to explore the ancient information, to explore the secrets of ancient times.

I also said before, the history of our country is really broad and profound, any small thing can make people ponder a lifetime, the year name, the temple number, the relevant knowledge of the name is not a big problem in our vast history, but unfortunately limited to the author's knowledge is not deep, there are fallacies I hope readers and friends can give me suggestions and criticism, and then thank you very much.
