Poems related to emperors

The Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Yu

"Poppy Beauty"

When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come, how much do you know about the past? The east wind blew again in the small building last night,

The motherland cannot bear to look back in the bright moon. The carved lanterns and jade bricks should still be there, but the beauty has changed. I asked you how much sorrow you can have, it is just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.

Qi Gaodi Xiao Daocheng

"Ode of Cranes"

The eight winds dance in the distance, and the nine fields make clear sounds.

Destroy the will of the clouds and become a bird in the king's garden.

Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Chu

"Gaixia Song"

He is so powerful that he can conquer the mountains.

When times are unfavorable, good will never fade away.

There is nothing you can do if your talent does not die!

Yu Xi, Yu Xi is helpless! 2. Regarding the naming method in ancient texts: surname, first name, character, title, reign number, posthumous title, house number, official title,

Surname: similar to modern times, it is passed down from generation to generation. It symbolizes blood relationship.

First name: First name is the code name of each person. Names are usually given by parents to their children. Family members are called by their first names.

Words: Only limited to people with status in ancient times. Regardless of male or female, only when they reach adulthood are they given a given name. The purpose of choosing a given name is to make people respect them and for outsiders to call them.

Number: But the title is different. At first, the number was chosen by oneself, and it was called one's own name. Later, it was given titles by others, such as honorific titles, elegant titles, etc.

Year title: year The number refers to the name used to mark the year. It is usually initiated by the emperor, but it is also commemorated with the name of the country (the time of the country's birth).

Posthumous title: In ancient my country, a new title was given to a ruler or a person of high status after his death. The court gave a title based on their life and behavior to praise and criticize good and evil

Room number: I haven’t heard of this...

Official name: It’s the official name. It is also an ancient position and grade. (The specifics vary according to different dynasties)

Temple name: Temple name is the name given to ancient Chinese emperors when they were honored in the Ancestral Temple after their death. For example: Gaozong, Taizong, Shizu, Renzong, etc. 3. Can the word "wen" in classical Chinese be followed by the emperor's name?

From a grammar point of view, "wen" can be followed by the emperor's name.

The original meaning of "wen" is "to hear". In classical Chinese, it is often used as the predicate center verb, meaning "to hear", "to know", "to hear" or "to listen to...speak". The object in this usage can be something someone said or something that happened to him. "Emperor" is the name of a specific person, and his words, deeds and deeds can also be controlled by the verb "smell". For example, "The Romance of the Ming Dynasty": "Everyone heard the emperor's words, and they were stunned and didn't know what to answer. (Everyone was surprised when they heard the emperor's words and didn't know how to answer)" Another example is "The Book of the Later Han·Biography of Wang Liu, Zhang Li, Penglu": "Five In the year, (Zhang) Buwen Emperor will attack..."

The "emperor's name" that cannot be followed by "wen" is often outside the grammar of classical Chinese:

1. Break a taboo. In ancient times, ministers were not allowed to address the emperor by his name in person. If you cannot say: "I have recently heard that His Majesty Zhu Chongjiu (Zhu Yuanzhang) will personally conquer the country."

2. Make mistakes. In ancient times, the emperor of the current dynasty was called "today", "shengshang", "emperor", "your majesty", etc. Only the deceased emperors had temple names and posthumous titles, such as "Taizong" and "Emperor Wen". When later generations record history, they tend to use the emperor's temple name and posthumous title for historical facts during his lifetime, such as: "Wei Zheng heard that Emperor Taizong was ill." This mistake is common in many contemporary film and television dramas with historical themes. 4. The meaning of the names of ancient emperors (all points are submitted)
