How many founding monarchs did China have in its history? This seemingly simple question is actually a complex one. Tomorrow, I will explore the answer to this question with everyone from the beginning of each dynasty or period. I have listed a total of 17 dynasties or periods, of which 62 were founding monarchs. These 62 monarchs should not be highly controversial, but further listing may lead to significant controversy.

Of course, from Xia Yu to the Qing Dynasty, there were roughly 16 founding monarchs of the unified dynasty, including Xia Yu, Shang Tang, Western Zhou Wu Wang Ji Fa, Eastern Zhou Ping Wang Ji Yijiu, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, Western Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Eastern Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, Western Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan, Eastern Jin Yuan Emperor Sima Rui, Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Northern Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Southern Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Qing Taizong Huang Taiji. The remaining 46 founding monarchs were mainly small country monarchs during the period of China's division, or monarchs of minority regimes coexisting with the Central Plains dynasties.

The founders of all great dynasties were ambitious and capable rulers, each with great talent and strategy, striving to make unparalleled contributions and establish the foundation of the dynasty for a hundred generations. After the founding of the country, most of the monarchs were also successful monarchs, and the fortunes of the dynasty gradually declined thereafter.

1、 Xia: Yu

The Xia Dynasty (approximately 21st century BCE - approximately 16th century BCE) was the first feudal dynasty of the Central Plains clans recorded in Chinese history. It lasted for 14 generations, with the 17th generation (referred to as Hou during the reign of Xia rulers and Emperor after their death), and lasted for about 471 years. It was destroyed by the Shang Dynasty.

  1. Yu, the great grandson of the Xuanyuan clan of the Yellow Emperor, officially ascended to the throne at the age of 53, with Anyi (now Shanxi Xia County) as his capital and the country's name as Xia. The calendar day was changed to the Xia calendar, and copper from all over the world was collected and cast into nine tripods as a symbol of the common ruler of the world. In the fifteenth year of Yu's reign, he passed the throne to his son Qi. King Yu made great contributions to the historical development of the Chinese nation, and his achievements were not only in controlling floods and developing production; More importantly, it has created a new social and political form of 'state'. The words "crossing the house three times without entering" and "nine tripods" are used to describe King Yu.

2、 Merchant: Soup

Unlike the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty (1600 BC-1059 BC) was the first dynasty in China to have direct contemporaneous written records, and the oracle bone inscriptions unearthed from the Yin ruins almost fully confirmed the records about the Shang Dynasty in Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian". In the early Shang Dynasty, the capital was often relocated, and by the time of Pangeng, it was established in Yin (now Anyang). The capital was built in Yin for 273 years, so Shang was also known as Yin or Yin Shang. The Shang Dynasty lasted for 17 generations and 31 kings, approximately 600 years.

  1. Tang (? -1588 BC), the founder of the Shang Dynasty and one of the ancient holy kings revered by Confucianism, served as the ruler of the Shang Dynasty for 13 years. Originally the leader of the Shang tribe, he appointed wise ministers Yi Yin and Zhong Bi as left and right ministers, and defeated Xia Jie in the Battle of Mingtiao to destroy Xia. Due to the use of force by Shang Tang to destroy Xia and break the notion of eternal monarchy, all dynasties in China have undergone such changes since then, hence the historical name "Tang Wu Reaction" After Tang Li Shang, he reduced taxes, encouraged production, and comforted the people, thus expanding his ruling area.

3、 Zhou

The Zhou Dynasty, a dynasty after the Shang Dynasty, was divided into two periods: the Western Zhou (mid-11th century BC -771 BC) and the Eastern Zhou (770 BC -256 BC). The Zhou Dynasty had a total of 30 generations and 37 kings, making it the third and final hereditary feudal dynasty in China. Later, the Qin and Han dynasties became a unified authoritarian state.

  1. Western Zhou Dynasty: King Wu Ji Fa

King Wu Jifa (approximately 1087-1043 BC) was the founder of the Zhou dynasty. He reigned for 13 years and was the founding monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the second son of King Wen Jichang. In the 11th century BC, he defeated Shang Zhou and destroyed Shang, known as King Wu Keyin, and established the Zhou Dynasty. He demonstrated outstanding military and political talents and became a generation of wise rulers in Chinese history.

  1. Eastern Zhou: Ji Yijiu

Ji Yijiu, King of Zhouping (approximately 781-720 BC), was the first king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He reigned for 53 years and was the son of King You of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After the death of King You, Prince Ping established the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in Luoyi, the capital of the East, and became the ruler of a restored country. At this time, the national strength of Zhou declined, and most of the feudal lords no longer obeyed the emperor, marking the beginning of the Spring and Autumn period.

4、 Qin: The First Emperor Ying Zheng

The Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC) was the first unified empire in Chinese history. The Qin Dynasty originated from the state of Qin, a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty.

  1. Qin Shi Huang (259 BC -210 BC) reigned for 37 years. He was the first monarch in Chinese history to adopt a system of absolute monarchy and promote centralization, and also the first monarch to use the title of emperor. After unifying the country, multiple policies were implemented, such as the use of the same script for books, the same track for vehicles, and the unification of measurement and legal systems, which had a profound impact on the history of China and the world, laying the foundation for the basic political system of China for more than two thousand years. On the other hand, during the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, he also carried out multiple large-scale projects, including the construction of the Great Wall, the Afang Palace, and the Lishan Mausoleum. In addition, he imposed heavy corv é e labor on the people, which was also the main reason for the rapid decline of the Qin Dynasty after his death.

5、 Han

The Han Dynasty (202-220 BC), divided into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, was a powerful unified empire after the Qin Dynasty. It laid the foundation for the social development of the Central Plains ethnic group for two thousand years and made great contributions to the continuation of Chinese civilization. Up to now, the Han people still call themselves the Chinese people, while the Central Plains are gradually called the Han people, and the Central Plains characters are also named Chinese characters.

  1. Western Han Dynasty: Emperor Taizu, Emperor Gao, Liu Bang

Liu Bang (256 BC -195 BC) was the first commoner born emperor in Chinese history, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, and one of the great pioneers of the Han nation and culture. He made outstanding contributions to the development of the Han ethnic group and the unification and growth of China. Formerly known as Emperor Gaozu of Han, Emperor Taizu of Han, or Emperor Taizu of Han.

Han Xin's soldiers, more is better; Xiang Zhuang dances his sword with the intention of Pei Gong; I am a fish for the people's knives and chopsticks; Hongmen banquet; a decisive battle between men and women; openly building plank roads, secretly crossing Chen Cang. "These idioms are all related to Liu Bang. Because Liu Bang loved cuju (football), after he became emperor, it promoted cuju to become a national sport during the Western Han Dynasty.

  1. Eastern Han Dynasty: Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu

Liu Xiu (5-7 BC), the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was a renowned politician and military strategist in Chinese history. Liu Xiu is the ninth generation descendant of Emperor Han Gaozu Liu Bang, from the lineage of Emperor Jing of Han. By Liu Xiu's time, he was already a commoner. At the end of the Xinmang era, the country fell apart and the world was in chaos. As a commoner with ancestry from the previous dynasty, Liu Xiu took advantage of the situation and rose up in his hometown. In the year 25 AD, Liu Xiu ascended to the throne in Hebei and declared himself emperor, symbolizing the revival of the Liu family. He continued to use "Han" as the national name, which is known as the "Eastern Han" in history

When Liu Xiu was young, he was just a member of the declining imperial family and a commoner. Liu Xiu once went to Chang'an to study and saw the Jin Wu (an official who led the imperial guards to defend the capital and palace during the Qin and Han dynasties) walking by on the street. The scene was magnificent and extravagant, and he was greatly impressed. Therefore, he wrote an essay about his ideals: "Officials should be treated as Jin Wu, and when they marry, they should be treated as Yin and Li Hua This sentence has been widely circulated and has become a timeless saying, resonating with many 'heroes in troubled times'. The love story between Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua has also been passed down through the ages.

Among the many ethnic groups that took control of the Central Plains, the Xiongnu, Jie, Xianbei, Qiang, and Di were the main ones, collectively known as the Five Hu. They successively established many countries within this range, and the Northern Wei historian Cui Hong wrote the "Spring and Autumn Annals of the Sixteen Kingdoms" (Five Liang, Four Yan, Three Qin, Two Zhao, One Cheng, One Xia) based on sixteen of these countries.

These policies were almost completely inherited by the Tang and Song dynasties. The Sui Dynasty profoundly influenced the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, and later Chinese dynasties, as well as the politics, economy, culture, and diplomacy of the past.
