Japan has produced eight female emperors in 2,000 years, and China has only one female emperor in 5,000 years, but Japan, where the status of women is extremely low, has produced eight empresses, isn't it? From the accession of Japan's first emperor Jimmu in 660 B.C. to today's Emperor Akihito, among the 127 emperors recorded in Japan's history, there are eight generations of female emperors, and these eight female emperors also have some political achievements. Pen~fun~Kaku www.biquge.info Emperor Tuiko (554~628) is widely recognized as the first empress of Japan, the third daughter of the 29th Emperor Kinmei, and her mother is the daughter of Soga Iname, who reigned for 593~628 years, which is equivalent to the end of the Sui and early Tang dynasties in China. The second official female emperor was Emperor Gogoku (reigned for the first time in 642~645). He gave way to his younger brother Xiaode. After the death of Emperor Kotoku, she ascended the throne again and changed her name to Emperor Saimei (reigned 655~661). In fact, Emperor Gogoku is not at all comparable to Emperor Suiko's political achievements, but due to historical reasons, she ascended to the throne twice (a total of 9 years) and experienced one of the most important changes in Japanese history, the Taika Reform, and played an important role in Japan's transition from a slave society to a feudal society. The first Sino-Japanese war broke out when the old woman of Qi Ming allowed to send troops to support Baekje. The third official female emperor was Emperor Jitong (reigned 686~697). Later, he gave way to his grandson, Emperor Bunmu, and Emperor Jitong assisted the government as the "Emperor Taijo" (Emperor Jitong was supposed to be the first Emperor Taijo in Japanese history). The fourth official female emperor was Emperor Motomei (reigned 707~715). Emperor Motomei officially issued an edict to move the capital from Asuka's Fujiwara Palace to Heijokyo. From 710 to 794, the capital was set in Nara for nearly a century, which is known as the "Nara Period" in Japanese history. The fifth official female emperor was Emperor Motosho (reigned 716~724), daughter of Emperor Motomei. During this period, he ordered the compilation of Japanese history and the compilation of the book "Nihon Shoki" (30 volumes), which is relatively standardized and complete in terms of content and style, and has very important historical value. The sixth official female emperor was Emperor Koken (later renamed Toku) (reigned 749~758, reigned 764~770). Emperor Hyoken is perhaps the most famous of all the empresses. The reason for this is roughly twofold: on the one hand, her political achievements are relatively prominent, so to speak, the efforts of the emperors since the Taika Reform have finally shown fruitful results in the generation of Xiaoqian, and she is a "master of the world". On the other hand, Emperor Koken himself adopted a comprehensive policy and strategy of "pro-Tang" and "learning from the Tang Dynasty", and through the study of the Tang Dynasty, Japan made great progress in politics, economy, culture and other aspects.

After that, there was no female emperor in Japan for a long time for 900 years, and it was not until after 1630 that the seventh female emperor in Japanese history, Emperor Akimasa (reigned 1630~1643), and the last female emperor in Japanese history, Emperor Sakuracho (reigned 1763~1770). During the reign of these two emperors, Japan was under the rule of the shogunate (1192~1867), and the emperor was no longer in existence.
