The emperor who changed his name the most in history changed his name five times in his life. Why?
Names have existed since ancient times. In ancient times, people attached great importance to names. As the saying goes, "You can't change your name when you walk, but you can't change your surname when you sit", which shows the importance of names. Ancient times were different from today. In ancient times, if the people's names were the same as those of the emperor, then the people needed to cover them up or change their names. If you want to change your name, it still exists today. The ancients attached great importance to names, so did the ancient emperors change their names? This must exist. The most familiar thing is that Liu Xun of Xuan Di, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, changed his name. At the earliest time, the name of Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was Liu Bingyi, but the problem is that these three words are commonly used, so it is difficult for people to avoid using words. In this case, Liu Bingyi chose to change its name to Shunlou. You know, Hue Liu was born well, but his experience was not good. He became emperor because of Huo Guang, a powerful minister at that time. Living downstream among the people, I know the sufferings of the people, so I know my name downstream brings inconvenience to the people, so I choose to change my name. For the convenience of people, Liu Shun changed his name to an uncommon word. It is recorded in the history books as "the name of the ancient emperor", which is difficult to know but easy to hide. Today, many people have written about criminals, and I sympathize with them. This is even more curious. The taboo is to let the former forgive. I have to say that Shun Di was a good emperor and a wise king in the Western Han Dynasty. Downstream only changed its name once. In history, the emperor who changed his name the most was Hengli. In July of the 23rd year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji changed the names of all sons and nephews in batches. Since then, Li Longji has changed the names of his sons and nephews a lot. To this end, Li Longji has also promulgated the decree of "Renaming Crown Prince as King". This is a book dedicated to recording the renaming of sons and nephews. Of all the sons of Li Longji, Hengli is the most unfortunate. He has changed his name five times in his life. Become the most renamed emperor in history. You know, there were twenty emperors in the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, twelve of them all changed their names. It's hard to imagine, because the ancients changed their names, which is different from today's. In ancient times, the name was usually changed to avoid the emperor, but the emperor himself changed his name to avoid the emperor. But the emperors of the Tang Dynasty were different. They need not be shy, but they changed their names. This makes people wonder. Tang Suzong's name change is recorded in Old Tang Book, which is jaw-dropping. According to historical records, ""was promoted to the first place ... In the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, Zhongwang was renamed Jun ... In the twenty-third year, it was renamed. ..... In June of 26, Gengzi was appointed as the Crown Prince and renamed Shao. Later, it was said that Shao and Prince Song had the same name, so they changed their names. "JingLong four years in August, shortly after being dubbed the prince, he married his mother Yang. Soon after, Yang gave birth to a prince. Due to the increasingly tense relationship between Li Longji and Princess Taiping, Li Longji was afraid that Princess Taiping would frame him as "addicted to women", so he tried to poison his prince, but failed. In other words, Hengli almost died. Later, Hengli was born and named Li Sisheng. At the age of two, he was made king of Shaanxi. In the first month of the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, he was named Zhong Wang and renamed Jun. Later, Hengli moved into his own palace to live. In May of the same year, Li Hengling became the ambassador of Shuofang and Khan Dadu, but Hengli had no real power and only a nominal official position. In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan, Hengli changed its name to Gui Li. Jade is a kind of beautiful jade, which is often used as a metaphor for people with noble moral character. In June of the 26th year of Kaiyuan, Hengli was renamed twice, and Wu Huifei was favored by the emperor. At that time, Li, the joint prime minister, framed Prince Li Ying, King E and King Guang Li Cong. Finally, Prince Li Ying, King E and King Guang Li Cong were killed. When Wu Huifei was in favor, he wanted to make Li Mao a prince. But Wu Huifei died soon, so Li Mao didn't become a prince. Li Longji finally established Hengli as the Prince, so he changed his name to Shao Li. Later, it was pointed out that Shao had the same name as Prince Song, so he changed his name. This is the experience of Tang Suzong's renaming in history. It is undeniable that such a situation is extremely rare in history. Both emperors and ministers attach great importance to renaming. Even ordinary people care about names. If you don't shy away, most people won't change their names. Only Tang Suzong Hengli changed his name, bound by Li Longji, and other princes also changed their names, all related to Li Longji.
