As the only female emperor in the world, people have always been interested in a period of history. So what is Wu Zetian like in history? What does the only female emperor in China look like? Let's find out.

Wu Zetian's face is real.

The teacher who studied under modern scholars became interested in the appearance of Wu Zetian and created the historical drama Wu Zetian. Later, according to Guo Moruo's textual research, it is believed that the plump "Queen of Datang" in Zhang Xuan's "The Lotus of Datang" is Wu Zetian. It was the time when painters Zhang Xuan and Wu Zetian were born in the Tang Dynasty. Because he painted many ladies in the palace, it is speculated that Zhang Xuan used to be a court painter and met Wu Zetian. Although Wu Zetian's appearance under his brush has been beautified, it should be more reliable.

There is also a version, that is, the engraving "Praise of Ancient Portraits" in the eleventh year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty. Because it was re-created in the Ming dynasty, this version is not credible, and it is likely that future generations drew it according to their own imagination. Besides these portraits, we can also refer to many statues of Wu Zetian, such as the stone statue of Wu Zetian, who was born in Huangze 'an, Guangyuan, Sichuan. It is the earliest stone statue of Wu Zetian and is considered to be the closest stone statue to the real image of Wu Zetian.

But after all, they are all copied and engraved, and what they look like is still unknown. However, according to ancient books, Wu Zetian has a "Pearl of Heaven and a Phoenix Neck", with big eyes and a slender neck. "Wide forehead", square forehead, big cheeks. Perhaps Wu Zetian gave birth to a man's face, but it conforms to the aesthetic standards of women in the Tang Dynasty, taking fat as beauty and femininity as unpopularity.

How many people are there in Wu Meiniang in a few days?

In history, Wu Zetian was the first and last female emperor. Although she holds great power and leads the people, she is just a normal woman with normal gender needs. There are many men in her life, so the problem comes. Who is Wu Zetian's favorite person in this life?

Wu Zetian

In the later period of Wu Zetian's life, there were many Toy Boy, ranging from monks to literati. For Toy Boy's choice, she seems to have no specific identity requirements. As long as she can win her heart, it is enough for her to strive to be the ultimate happiness of a woman.

Among so many Toy Boy, it can be called one of the best, such as Africa, Shen Nan and Zhang Changzong. The relationship between Wu Zetian and these Toy Boy also has several origins. Like any emperor with 72 concubines in three palaces and six hospitals, Empress Wu Zetian keeps male concubines as pets. However, these Toy Boy are just for fun in her later period, which is not worth mentioning at all. In addition to these Toy Boy, the person who occupies an important position in Wu Zetian's heart is Tang Gaozong. Although she took advantage of the emperor's love for herself, coupled with her political skills, and paid a heavy price for killing her own daughter, she stepped onto the position of queen, but her feelings with Li Zhi were actually deep and she was loyal to Li Zhi. During the last emperor period, the actual political power was in the hands of the marquis of Wu. If she is unfaithful, she can take his place at this time. Wu Zetian accompanied the emperor day and night when he was seriously ill, and showed infinite grief after his death. Because I love the emperor, I strive to maintain the stability of the country and support my two sons as much as possible. However, because of her disappointment with her son and her sense of power, and because people would rather choose the incompetent Li family than the posture of a strong woman, she was pushed to the throne with great courage. Therefore, Li is her true love.

What was Wu Meiniang's original name?

I have seen it countless times.

Wu Zetian's name

Wu Ruyi got his name from Wu Meiniang, because Wu Ruyi won everyone's admiration at a big court meeting with his skill of shooting chrysanthemums with one gun. When the envoy asked her name, Li Shimin gave Wu Ruyi the title of Wu Meiniang. Of course, this is just a fabrication in TV series. In the real history, there is no detailed record of the core monuments of Wu Zetian's life, and only the word "Hua" is mentioned in the name.

In the book "History of Grave Robbery in China", Wu Zetian's name was mentioned by the way when the events related to grave robbery were mentioned. Among many names, "Wu Zetian has many names:, Hua,, Wu Xie, Wu _, among which Wu Zetian is one. These are five names. " In fact, however, Wu Zetian's title is the same as when she was emperor, and sometimes she is confused. In addition to the five names mentioned above, there are Wu, Wu and Fei.

But according to historical records, there should be a word "Hua" in Wu Zetian's name. According to historical records, Wu Zetian's real name is Wu. But Wu Zhi's "wisdom" stems from the name "Hua" given to her by her parents, not because she became a monk.
