When was Wu Zetian named Wu Zhao? The beginning of the secret history of Wu Zetian is that Wu Zetian's name is Wu Zhao. At that time, she had not yet entered the palace. Is that what happened?

The word "Qi" was coined by Qin Ke, who lived in Qin Ke for more than a year before becoming emperor. According to Zi Tong Zhi Jian, in November of the first year of Yongchang (689, when Wu Zetian was 65 years old), assistant minister Feng Ge lived in Hedong, changed the word "heaven" and "earth" as a confession, and Ding Hai went out for a trip. The queen mother changed the imperial edict system from "Qi".

Wu Zetian has no specific name. In 637 (the 11th year of Zhenguan), she was called into the palace as a talented person and was named "Mei Niang" by Emperor Taizong, hence the title of Wu Meiniang.

After her death, she was honored as "Emperor Zetiansheng" and "Empress Zetiansheng", so historians used to use your honorific title as her name and call her "Wu Zetian", which became the most popular title. In addition, she also invented the name "Zhao", which means "the sun and the moon are hanging in the air, shining on the earth", so it is also called "Zhao". But this name is not as widely used as the name Wu Zetian.
