Li, the largest surname in China, experienced 12 regimes in ancient times and produced 66 emperors. In the Tang Dynasty alone, there were 22 emperors named Li. The fourth surname is Liu, who has experienced eight dynasties in history and produced 59 emperors.
The second surname and the third surname are Zhang. It is said that the Chinese nation has not had an emperor for thousands of years. This phenomenon is really incredible.
Everyone has a name. China people's names are basically three words, and some are two words. But surnames are generally single surnames, and there are few compound surnames. According to the results of population statistics, the biggest surname in China is Li.
The second surname is Wang. I believe that among the friends who read this article, there may be more than 10% people surnamed Wang. As a big surname, there seems to be no emperor surnamed Wang in history.
As you should know, Emperor Li was the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Wang Xing also had an emperor in history, but his popularity was not high, so many people didn't know it, such as Wang Mang of the new dynasty.
The New Dynasty was a political power between the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was established by Wang Mang's rebellion. Wang Mang was originally a courtier of the Western Han Dynasty, but as a result, he conspired to abolish Liu Kan, the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and became emperor himself.
Although Wang Mang was the emperor of wang xing, many people in history didn't know about the New Dynasty. Who was Wang Mang? Traitors and thieves? Many descendants of Wang should be reluctant to recognize him as an ancestor, so Wang Mang was naturally forgotten.
In addition to Wang Mang, there is also an emperor named Wang, whose reputation is even lower. This man named Wang was born in the late Tang Dynasty, the founder of Fujian in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, in today's Fuzhou, Fujian.
When it comes to Wang Mang, everyone at least knows him, but when it comes to Wang, it is estimated that no one knows his deeds. He is the son of wang pu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the situation in North Korea was unstable, so he went into the mountains to make a living by robbing the house.
Later, Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor and Wang was appointed governor of Fuzhou. But Zhu Wen didn't trust him and sent someone to spy on him. This made Wang Shenzhi very dissatisfied, so he killed the monitor and became king from Zhu Wen. Do Fujian people still call Wang? Open Fujian and respect the king? .
Besides Wang Mang and Wang, there is also an emperor of wang xing in history. This man is Wang Jian, but whether this man is from China remains to be verified. It is said that Wang Jian's ancestors may have come from China, and the regime established by Wang Jian was the Koryo Dynasty.
Wang Jian is Korean. In 9 18, he seized political power through mutiny and established political power in present-day Korea, with the name of Korea. Later, he unified the Korean peninsula, established institutions according to China's system, and became the founding king of the Korean dynasty.
As the second largest surname in China, why is there no emperor surnamed Wang in history? In fact, it is not without it, but because it is little known.
