China's ancient regime kept repeating the title of the Warring States, but why didn't anyone use "Korean"?
The names of dynasties in history are well-known, and they were not decided by the rulers patting their heads. The ancients said: if the name is not regular, the words will not be smooth, and if the words are not smooth, nothing will happen; Therefore, it is very necessary and particular to give a meaningful name to the newly established dynasty for those emperors who have sacrificed their lives to win the country through hardships. On the whole, however, the naming of dynasties in China has a certain routine, which can be roughly divided into seven categories.
the first category: from tribal names, such as Xia.
the second category: from the developed place names, such as Shang, Zhou and Qin.
the third category: the place when it was named hegemony belonged to the name of the Warring States Period, and the regime established by Shile, the leader of the Jie tribe in the Sixteen Kingdoms Period, was in Hebei generation, and Hebei was the territory of Zhao in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period; The territory of Houyan in the Sixteen Kingdoms period was also in the area of Yan State in the Warring States period. The Western Qin Dynasty, built by Qi Fuguoren, the leader of Xianbei nationality in Longxi, is Duyuanchuan (now Xigu, Lanzhou, Gansu), and its country name "Qin" is also named because its territory is the hometown of Qin State during the Warring States Period.
the fourth category: use the names of local specialties as dynasty names, such as Jin.
the fifth category: naming a word according to its meaning in ancient books, such as Yuan.
Category VI: titles of titles conferred by Yu, such as Sui and Tang.
The seventh category is the dynasty named after one's own surname, but this is the only dynasty named after one's own surname, that is, Chen in the Southern Dynasty, and the emperor's name is Chen Baxian.
Xia Dynasty: Yu was originally the tribal leader of Xia descendants, so the slave country established by Yu's son Qi was named Xia.
Shang Dynasty: Tang destroyed Xia Hou, because his ancestor Qi once lived in Shang (now Shangqiu, Henan), so he took Shang as his country name. Because Pan Geng moved the capital city west to Yin (now Anyang, Henan), Shang Dynasty was also called Yin Dynasty.
Zhou Dynasty: After Zhou Wuwang destroyed the business, his ancestor Gu Gongqi's father once lived in Zhouyuan (now Qishan, Shaanxi), so he took "Zhou" as the country name. In the early Zhou Dynasty, its capital was built in Gao (now southwest of Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province), and later Pingdong moved to Luoyi (now Luoyang, Henan Province). Because it is in the east of Gao, it has the titles of "Western Zhou" and "Eastern Zhou".
Qin Dynasty: Qin Shihuang's ancestor was Zhou Xiaowang's groom. He was given the surname of "Won" for his meritorious service in riding horses, and was given the title of "Qin" (now Tianshui, Gansu). After the founding of the country, "Qin" was taken as the national title.
Han Dynasty: Liu Bang was once named Hanwang by Xiang Yu, and later defeated Xiang Yu through the Battle of Gaixia. After Liu Bang's reunification, he took "Han" as the national title.
Wei: Cao Cao was named Wang Wei when he presented the Emperor to the Han Dynasty, and his eldest son Cao Pi stood on his own feet on behalf of the Han Dynasty, taking "Wei" as the title.
Shu Han: After Liu Bei occupied Chengdu, he claimed to be the descendant of King Jing of Hanzhong. Because Sichuan is called Shu for short, he was called Shu Han.
Wu: Sun Quan made Nanjing his capital, and the area he ruled was the hometown of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Therefore, "Wu" was taken as the country name.
Jin Dynasty: Si Mazhao was named Duke of Jin and King of Jin successively in Wei State. Therefore, after his son Sima Yan overthrew Wei State, he called his new dynasty "Jin".
Sui Dynasty: Yang Jian was originally a servant of the Northern Zhou Emperor, and was made a vassal. Later, he abolished his boss and changed "Zhou" to "Sui". Because he was afraid of the meaning of "Sui", he was saved as "Sui".
Tang Dynasty: When Li Hu, the grandfather of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, was working under the Western Wei Emperor, he was made Duke of Tang by his own master, the Western Wei Emperor. After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, it was logical to take "Tang" as the national title.
Song Dynasty: When Zhao Kuangyin worked under the Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he was appointed as our envoy to Songzhou by his boss Chai Rong. Because Songzhou was his birthplace, the country was called "Song".
Liao: Originally called "Qidan", it was changed to "Liao" because it lived in the upper reaches of Liaohe River.
Xixia: Tuoba Sigong occupied Xiazhou (now Hengshan County, Shanxi Province), which was named "Daxia" after Xiazhou when the People's Republic of China was founded. Because it was in the west, the Song people called it "Xixia".
Jin: The capital city is in Huining (now south of Acheng, Heilongjiang), which is located in the Shuihu River (now Ashe River). According to legend, its aquatic gold, and the jurchen word "Jin" means "Pushing out the tiger".
Yuan Dynasty: It had no national title and was called Mongolia. Zu Kublai Khan took the meaning of "Da Zai Gan Yuan" in the Book of Changes, and took "Yuan" as the country name.
Ming dynasty: Zhu Yuanzhang was originally the Ministry of xiao ming wang, a rebel army at the end of Yuan Dynasty. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ming was the "national title".
Qing dynasty: after Nurhachi established political power, the title of the country was Daikin. After Huang taiji ascended the throne, because the Han nationality had a bloody feud with the state of Jin, in order to eliminate the painful memories of the state of Jin in the history of the Han nationality, the word "Jin" was changed to "Qing", which is the homonym of Jin.
sixteen countries: the establishment of sixteen countries can be divided into two phases. In the early stage, the political power was: Shu (Cheng Han), Han and Qian Zhao, Hou Zhao, Qian Yan, Qian Qin and Qian Liang. There is also the' generation' of the Tuoba Department of Xianbei and the' Wei' of Ran Min, which are not in the sixteenth country. The later regimes were: Houqin, Houyan, Southern Yan, Beiyan, Houliang, Nanliang, Xiliang, Beiliang, Xiqin and Xialiang. In addition,' Xiyan' is not in sixteen countries.
When I saw this, the question came out. With so many dynasty names, the names of countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were used all over. Why didn't anyone take Korean as the name of his own dynasty?
There are two reasons for this. First, South Korea is the weakest country among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. It basically plays the role of soy sauce. Its land area is the smallest, and it was eaten by Qin Boss the earliest, so it is not valued by people. No one wants to use Korea as the country name. Why? It's unlucky.
There is another reason. South Korea comes from three countries and is divided into Jin, while there are three countries in the Central Plains: Korea, Zhao and Wei. South Korea is bordered by Wei and Zhao in the north, Qi in the east, Chu in the south and Qin in the west, all of which are unruly lords. It can be said that South Korea is surrounded by powerful enemies, and its territory has been eroded and shrunk seriously.
So, the territory where the Seven Heroes of the Warring States existed at that time, and even the Jin State, which dominated in the Spring and Autumn Period, became synonymous with all regions, except South Korea, which became a melon eater.
for example, Qin represents Longxi generation, Jin represents Shanxi generation, Zhao is synonymous with central Hebei, Yan is synonymous with Liaoning part of northern Hebei, Qilu is synonymous with Shandong land, and the Central Plains is the territory of Wei (that's why Cao Pi established Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms). It's not surprising that South Korea, a walk-on with no place, no sense of existence and a cold shoulder.
