Who is the best emperor in China?
Qin Huang Hanwu, Tang Zong Song Zu, plus a Kangxi. These five emperors should be regarded as the most successful emperors in the history of China. But it's hard to draw a conclusion if you want to distinguish between high and low. Only different people have different opinions. Let me talk about my personal opinion. 1, Qin Shihuang was the first emperor in the history of China and the first emperor to unify China. The Hundred Vietnamese Expeditions and the Xiongnu Northern Expedition unified currency, writing and weights and measures. Can be called the first emperor in history. But he was also a famous tyrant. Burning books and burying Confucianism destroyed academic freedom since the Warring States Period. Destroyed hundreds of classic works. Although the construction of the Great Wall has positive significance in history, it has only brought suffering to the people. Personally, I think he has done a lot of bad things, and he can only be regarded as an emperor with mixed reputation. 2. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted Dong Zhongshu's ousting of hundreds of schools, and respected Confucianism alone, using spells and criminal names to strengthen his rule. He sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions twice to promote the economic and cultural exchanges between the Western Han Dynasty and various nationalities in the Western Regions. In the history of China, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the first emperor with a world vision. Long-range attack on Xiongnu can be regarded as his most brilliant stroke. "Those who make me strong will be punished far away." What prestige is this? It can make the border of the Han Dynasty safe for decades. But personally, I think his martial arts is better than sandwiches. Too belligerent, in order to beat the Huns and exhaust the national treasury, the foundation of Wenjing rule was exhausted by him. After his death, the Han Dynasty gradually declined. 3. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, is a famous monarch who can conquer the world as well as the world. He was the commander-in-chief of the army and played a decisive role in a series of wars to unify the whole country in the Tang Dynasty. After he ascended the throne, he took a series of reform measures, and through continuous political system reform, he formed a complete and strict official system from the central government to the local government. And accept good advice and appoint talents. A minister who dared to give advice like Wei Zhi would have been beheaded in other dynasties, at least he would not be reused. Emperor Taizong even cried when he died, lamenting the lack of a mirror to be a man. The Tang Dynasty is one of the dynasties with the greatest contribution, the strongest national strength and the longest history in China. The Tang Dynasty was the peak of politics, economy, culture, art and military in feudal society, and it was the most democratic dynasty, which is also commendable today. 4. Song Taizu promotes agriculture with caution, leniency and safety. He has the right to let the soldiers have a glass of wine, which shows that he is an aboveboard king of righteousness. Don't want to kill a hero like Zhu Yuanzhang. However, excessive emphasis on literature over martial arts and internal defense led to the long-term weakness of the Song Dynasty. 5. Kangxi pacified San Francisco and unified Taiwan Province Province. Resist Russia, pacify Mongolia and stabilize Tibet. Take a series of measures to restore and develop social economy. Announced that "breeders will never be endowed." He also attached great importance to and protected the traditional feudal culture in China. Kangxi himself is rich in knowledge. He not only received a systematic Confucian classic education, but also hired missionaries who taught western science and culture to learn from them about astronomy, calendar, mathematics, geography, medicine, music and painting. His knowledge and hobbies are so extensive that it is rare among emperors in past dynasties. But he also set up a literary inquisition, killed some intellectuals of the Han landlord class and strengthened ideological rule. Personally, I think Emperor Kangxi and other Manchu emperors are Manchu after all, and they are still wary of Han people. Has his limitations. Some policies that give preferential treatment to Manchu, such as enclosure and the Eight Banners, need not be published, and all ministries should set up Manchu books. It was one of the reasons for the decline of the Qing Dynasty. -It can be said that when it comes to martial arts, Emperor Wudi comes first, and when it comes to literature, Song Taizu comes first. Emperor Taizong and Kangxi, the two most successful men, have a fight for being both civil and military, noble in character and benefiting the people, but my personal opinion is that Emperor Taizong is the best. Datang Empire is the glory of countless China people's dreams. Most importantly, the Japanese at that time could only look up to the Chinese empire and did not dare to peep at it. Excuse me, which dynasty has such a prestige in the world?
