Chapter 136 The Temple Number and the Nickname
readx;
c_t; There were only four temple names in China in the Shang Dynasty, which were "Tai" for the establishment of the foundation, "Gao" for those with high merit, "Shi" for generations of sacrifices, and "Zhong" for Zhongxing.

During the period of Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty, the temple number was modified for the first time, because during the period of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, in order to let Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty go to the temple number, some temple names that were more commonly used in later generations were added. And the temple name of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty is Tongzong.
Of course, with the merits of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, when the evaluation of the temple number and the name of the Han Dynasty was relatively strict, it was after the Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu took charge of the world, and their temple names were abolished one after another.
After all, even Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty did not evaluate the temple number, and these three scum scum can still be recognized by the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Of course, neither Liu Xiu nor the minister who assessed the temple number at that time thought that within fifty years, their original intention in this regard would be completely destroyed. Because the temple number of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty is Xianzong, and the temple number of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty is Suzong.
As for the later emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, their temple numbers are even more messy: Liu Zhao is Emperor Mu Zongxiaohe, Liu Hu is Emperor Gongzong Xiao'an, Liu Bao is Emperor Jingzong Xiaoshun, and Liu Zhi is Emperor Weizong Xiaohuan.
These temple numbers were canceled during the period of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, mainly because the temple numbers of these emperors were really sorry for the deeds of these emperors, so in this regard, it is not too much for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and the ministers of the Cao Cao period to abolish the temple numbers of these four emperors.
......
In the evaluation of the temple number, the ancestor is generally the follow-up name that the founding emperor can use.
Among the subsequent ancestral names, Taizu is generally the temple number that only the founding emperor can use. And Gao Zu, Lie Zu and so on are also within this category.
The temple name of the ancestor is usually given to the founding emperor to posthumously seal the ancestor of the blood, the ancestor with the surname or the king of the first feud, such as the ancestor of Shang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty Liu Xuan, the new ancestor Yu Shun, the ancestor of Wu Sun Jian, the ancestor of Cheng Li Te, the ancestor of Qin Yao Yizhong, the ancestor of Liang Lu Shang, the ancestor of Wei Tuoba Liwei, the ancestor of Zhou Ji Chang, the ancestor of Jin Wanyan Hanpu, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty Bucuri Yongshun, etc. Most of the emperors known as the first ancestors were descendants after they became emperors, and the founding emperors usually showed their imperial power by posthumously crowning their ancestors as the first emperors in order to strengthen the majesty of imperial power.
Shizu is generally the specific temple name of the founder of the history of the dynasty or the successor of the dynasty, and there are also those who are the founders, such as Cao Pi of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yan of the Western Jin Dynasty, and Kublai Khan of the Mengyuan Dynasty. Probably because none of them were the founders of the dynasty. Liu Xiu is the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and since then, the ancestors of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Southern Qi, Emperor Wucheng of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yuan Shizu, and Qing Shizu are basically of this origin.
The meaning of the name of the Holy Ancestor is similar to that of the first ancestor, and the Chinese emperors of all dynasties used the "Holy Ancestor" as the temple name only "Tang Holy Ancestor Li Er", "Dachang and National Holy Ancestor Zheng Maihei", "Northern Song Dynasty Holy Ancestor Zhao Xuanlang", "Qing Holy Ancestor Aixin Jue Luo Xuanye" four people, except for Zheng Maisi and Aixin Jueluo Xuanye, the rest were posthumously sealed by later generations. This temple number was founded in the Tang Dynasty, for Tang Xuanzong Li Longji for Laozi Li Er to create, and later became the emperor of the past dynasties to posthumously seal the ancestors of their own family with holy virtues, and finally was absorbed by the nomads, officially as the emperor's temple number.
There is no record of the Han Dynasty using "Sheng" as the temple name, and there are only two emperors who use "Sheng" as the preface of the temple number, one is Liao Shengzong and the other is Qing Shengzu. Of course, in terms of actual situation, the meaning of the nickname of this word is more of a derogatory situation.
The evaluation of temple numbers after the Han Dynasty refers to the Zhaomu system in the Zhou rites in a certain sense.
The "Zhaomu system" is the order of the ancient temples. According to "Zhou Lichun Guanxiao Yubo": "Distinguish the temple of the mystery. Zheng Xuan said: "Since the first ancestor, the father is Zhao, and the son is Mu." That is to say, the ancestor is in the center of the temple, and the following descendants are arranged in two columns, the left is Zhao and the right is Mu. The son of the ancestor is Zhao, and the grandson of the ancestor is Mu, and the son of the ancestor is Zhao, and the grandson of the ancestor is Mu.
In this way, in the arrangement of Zhaomu, the father and son are always in different columns, and the grandparents are always in the same column. In addition, the burial places in the cemetery are also divided into left and right order according to this. At the time of the sacrifice, the descendants were also to be arranged in accordance with this rule, so as to distinguish the generations within the clan. As the "Book of Rites and Sacrifices" said: "The husband sacrifice has Zhaomu, Zhaomu, so there is no chaos in the order of father and son, distance and proximity, elder and younger, and intimacy." ”
After Taizu is often the founder of a country or dynasty, the name Taizong in history is counted from Taizong of the Han Dynasty, with a total of more than ten people, including Emperor Ming Yuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Jianwen of Liang, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Taizong of Liao, Taizong of Jin, Taizong of Xia (Li Deming), Taizong of the Yuan, Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, etc.
Except for a few such as Emperor Song Ming and Emperor Liang Jianwen who could not make a difference, and similar to the temple number awarded posthumously by Li Deming, Taizong of Western Xia, the others are the leaders and pioneers of this dynasty.
As for who Ming Taizong is? Few people may know this, but if it is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, it is clear to the ears and eyes. Because before the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, the temple number of Ming Chengzu was Ming Taizong.
In Chinese history, it is okay for descendants to call Zhu Di Ming Chengzu, and there is no problem to call him Ming Taizong, because these two temple names are the official words of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
Emperor Jiajing's great ceremonial dispute, in addition to the change of the temple number of Ming Chengzu, there is also an unlucky egg who was removed from the front hall of the temple, that is, Ming Renzong, who reigned for a relatively short time, Xu Jie, and others said in the book, "Now Renzong is the fifth ancestor of the emperor, and the holy bow is discussed, and Renzong is in the ceremony when you are in the ceremony", so Xingxian Wang became Ruizong, and entered the Taimiao in the 29th year of Jiajing, and Renzong was put into the apse.
Well, in order to let his father also get over the emperor's addiction, and to make his throne more legitimate, Emperor Jiajing obviously didn't care about the face of his ancestors.
And such a thing will naturally make their ancestors unhappy.
There is a part of the content of "Wanli Ye Ed.", which introduces an interesting thing: "According to the old name of Chengmiao Taizong, it was first renamed the ancestor in the seventeenth year, and the new name of the emperor was Xingxian, and its lord entered the temple with Chengzu, and the speaker said that the gods of Emperor Wen were not hesitant; "In April of the twentieth year of Jiajing, there was a fire in the Taimiao and it was burned, and many people thought that Zhu Di appeared in the sky.
The original meaning of Sejong is generally said to be the beginning of the unification and the beginning of the world.
......
The temple numbers that Zhang Jiashi thinks are quite interesting are as follows:
The law for Gaozong is generally the maker of the decline of the dynasty, or it is synonymous with insidious and vicious, the more famous is Song Gaozong, Qing Gaozong, Song Gaozong's temple number represents the mixed merits, he built the Southern Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River so that the situation at that time did not enter the troubled times like the Northern and Southern Dynasties is his work, but under the pretense of Qin Hui's hand to remove Yue Fei and other high-tech anti-Jin generals is his fault, but since the Shaoxing Peace Conference, the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty once surpassed the prosperous period of the Northern Song Dynasty. This period is also called "Shaoxing Zhongxing".
Qing Gaozong Hongli was the longest-lived ruler in Chinese history, and he brought the Kangqian era to its peak. But he was too extravagant, and he was so happy that he was in prison, and what he left to Jiaqing was a country full of holes and extravagance. That's why Jiaqing gave him the Gaozong Temple number. It's also a mixed bag.
Gaozong Yu Wenyun of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was absurd and unreasonable. During his reign, he indiscriminately killed his relatives and loyalty, so this temple name became a synonym for his viciousness. Emperor Gaozong of the Han Dynasty Han Yuan was deaf, which is the actual proof of the prophecy of his father Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong Qi Ming of the Southern Qi Dynasty came to power except for killing the descendants of Gao Wu, he did not do anything decent, and even the history books say that he only loves to kill.
Those who know the number of Zhongzong Temple are generally obtained from Tang Zhongzong, Zhongzong, as the name suggests, is the Zhongxing Sect. The earliest originated in the Han Dynasty Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and then the orthodox dynasties were Jin Zhongzong (Jin Yuan Emperor) and Tang Zhongzong. Except for Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty who is worthy of the name of Zhongxing, the other two are corpse vegetarian meals, Jin Zhongzong was killed by Wang Dun, and Tang Zhongzong was killed by his wife.
Yingzong and Muzong are considered to be a lot of infighting and troublesome temple numbers in many times, and most of them are short-lived, in history, Song Yingzong and Yuan Yingzong only reigned for three or four years, among which Song Yingzong made a big ceremony, Yuan Yingzong made a change in the southern slope, and even lost his life, Ming Yingzong still has two, one is the change of the civil fort, and the other is the change of seizing the door. In fact, although Ming Yingzong reigned for a long time, he was only 38 years old when he died, which was about the same age as Song Yingzong. Therefore, the extremely superstitious Manchu Qing never chose Yingzong as the temple name of the first emperor. Most of the Mu Sects were short-lived, and the Tang Muzong, Ming Muzong, and Qing Muzong were all short-lived.
Shenzong and Dezong are not good guys, although they must have been thoughtful when they went to the temple number, but, judging from the historical coincidence, it was also a lot of trouble, Song Shenzong's Wang Anshi change not only did not solve the actual problem but intensified the party dispute, and what Mingshenzong Wanli did was even clearer for everyone. Therefore, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not choose Shenzong as the temple number. Dezong is actually not a good temple number, Tang Dezong and Qing Dezong have suffered from chaos in their lives, of course, these have no direct connection with the temple number itself, the important thing is the actions of the dynasty and the emperor itself.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Zhang Jiashi's desire to restore the evaluation of the temple number and the name of the temple was not out of selfishness, because he did not think that he could get a bad name or a temple name. Of course, Zhang Jiashi himself doesn't think it at the moment, and he also doesn't need future generations to give him a temple number or something. After all, as a person who is quite realistic, Zhang Jiashi still doesn't pay much attention to these things.
But in any case, the temple number and the name of the temple can indeed play a role in evaluating a person's merits and demerits in terms of the current situation. Zhang Jiashi thinks this is very important, because he himself knows that if some emperors don't even care about their own names, then they will inevitably do some messy things.
is like one of his brothers-in-law, Qin II Hu Hai, although Zhang Jiashi knows that Hu Hai is involuntary in many ways, but there are some things that he is also to blame. If Hu Hai is not known to be a negative example because of the idea of the First Emperor, then such a situation appears to his descendants, so should he cry or laugh?
Of course, the temple number and the name of the temple are not omnipotent, after all, if the emperors of later generations really do not change their character in this regard, then even if they evaluate the evil name in many aspects or even the temple number that is biased towards infamy, the other party may continue to maintain their own nature.
So in this regard, Zhang Jiashi also thinks that he is taking it for granted.
Zhang Jiashi believes that the restoration of the temple number and the name of the temple can be carried out at the same time, because in the current situation, although the corresponding reply between the two is a little urgent, but after removing some material coping methods, such an arrangement is not impossible.
As for the material way to deal with it, that is, if the temple number is really to be restored, then it is estimated that the construction of the temple will also need to be arranged accordingly.
At present, the Great Qin Empire only has a temple in the Dazheng Palace of Yongdu City, and after the Yongdu melee in 210 BC, it was renovated and looked quite magnificent, but in terms of the specifications of the temple of the Yongdu Dazheng Palace, it is obviously unable to meet the corresponding needs of the emperor level.
If Zhang Jiashi wants to restore the temple number, he first has to build the corresponding worship temple for the emperor with the temple number, after all, if he has the temple number, he basically has to set up the emperor's temple alone.
In a short period of time, Zhang Jiashi also hoped to be able to comment on the temple number of the first emperor, and Qin II, the emperor, Zhang Jiashi was better if he didn't see it.
Zhang Jiashi's selective ignorance in this regard made the emperors of the Great Qin Empire in later generations learn from it. At the moment when the Great Qin Empire gave up the imperial system, Emperor Qin II finally determined that the name was Yang, and the temple name was none, and he did not deserve to enjoy the Taimiao.
However, as the son of the First Emperor, and indeed the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, the monarch of the Great Qin Empire, inherited by Zhang Jiashi, finally made corresponding responses during the Yingxiu period, that is, Hu Hai, as the son of the First Emperor of Xuanzu, deserves to enjoy the worship of the corresponding specifications of the Xuanzu Temple.
Maybe this is still not good for an emperor, but there is no doubt that whether it is Yingxiu or the later monarchs of the Great Qin Empire, they think that such a change in treatment has given the other party a lot of face.
......
Zhang Jiashi thinks that the resumption of the evaluation of the name and the temple number is a relatively easy problem to solve, but the name, although it is very rigorous at the moment, God knows if it will be like the history he knows, there will be more and more strange names, and the good ones will be picked?
