China Only Female Emperor |Tomb was Never Stolen? | Wu Zetian 

Even now China doesn't have had any recent history of any female supreme leader and it's 2021! The very fact that Wu Zetian became an emperor in an age where women were literally ruled by men completely.... Is astounding. She must had been a powerhouse and increadibly clever, politically savvy and courageous. She must have had blew the patriarchs mind off. Respect for that woman🙌

Her personal life was pretty messy as it paints her as a malicious woman with low moral values but she was a excellent administrator. She was very capable, she handled the country with ease and knew how to get rid of her political enemy. She led Tang Dynasty to its glorious period and her achievements aren’t less than any of her male contemporaries. However, how could the traditional historians accept that a woman could be so ambitious and successful? No wonder all of her achievements are not written in her tomb.

In her time, the China Empire has "phoenix throne" instead dragon.

Problem with her is , she did too good of a job governing. Populous were prosperous / forgotten how to fight after her rule. Thus enlisted mercs took over with ease when opportunity allowed several decades later. Ironic， it was a similar fate as rome.

In defense of Wu Zetian sacrifing her children it's a choice she must to because in ancient times most sons or prince would kill their parents to achieve the throne. One example Yuan Dynasty emperor husband to Empress Ki. His son and his wife planned something to get him out of power. Plus her sacrifice is worth it. Many woman in that era was given equality. They were able to do things only male could do. She appointed a female minister. The only dirt you can put to her is that she was a evil mother but in that era where your son would want to kill you just to get your thrones i might as well kill them first

Love Wu Zetian ❤️

Thank you for considering our requests

And this somehow make me imagine back the Promise of Chang'an and the Dream of Chang'an... 😊

No one determines their own fate opportunities are opened by others..we can choose to take it or not but no one stands alone

Despite her bad side, she was a really really good ruler for the country and people.

Great history information.

Here is a list of Chinese dynasties before I recommend some dramas based on different dynasties: Xia, Shang (Oracle Bones Scripts), Zhou (Western and Eastern Zhou), Spring-Autumn Period (where the Hundred Schools of Thoughts appeared, and Confucius and Lao Tzu, who founded Confucianism and Daoism, lived), Warring State Period (where seven kingdoms Qi, Chu, Han, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Qin fought for supremacy after the collapse of Zhou Dynasty), Qin (reunification and building of the Great Wall), Han (first golden age where Han Chinese character Hanzi and Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in the world, got their name; opening of the Silk Road), Three Kingdoms (Northern Wei, Western Shu, Eastern Wu), Tang (where Japanese sent the most envoys to copy the Tang culture wholesale; second golden age), Song, Yuan (Mongol-ruled), Ming (Korean culture based a lot on this dynasty), Qing (Manchu-ruled). “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, one of the four Chinese classics with the setting in the Three Kingdoms Period after Han Dynasty. “Virtuous Queen of Han” on the life of Wei Zifu, the Queen consort of Han Wudi, or Martial Emperor of Han Dynasty who opened the Silk Road and traded with the Roman Empire. “Legend of Chinese Empress” on the life of the only empress of China, Wu Zetian, in the Tang Dynasty. “Judge of Song Dynasty” on the life and work of Song Ci 宋慈, who wrote the world’s first forensic science book called Washing Away of Wrongs 洗冤录。 Also check out a documentary called “Daming Palace and Tang Dynasty”. They briefly mentioned about the Japanese envoys kentoushi 遣唐使。 History Channel did a series called Ancient Discoveries. Six episodes were devoted exclusively to Chinese inventions, which make up a long list. CCTV-6 China movie channel features a lot of Chinese historical dramas and documentaries. All of them on RU-vid. Enjoy. ❤

You have not mentioned the incident of the death of Wu Zetian's daughter . This had help Wu Zetian to play a blame game and become the empress .

she's a #girlboss

Wow she kinda seemed unhinged but most leaders would I guess.

Excellent.

Good video and saved me watching the drama series. BONUS

She is my favourite ♥️

The documentaries from a few years ago do not say the things some of these newer ones are.

Wow! You just summarized the whole drama. Lol.

Woww.. that's impressive in a sick way. She chose power over her children.

one of the strong women i have ever meet. today day and age women compare with wu zetian still have long way to go.

My ancient ancestors dynasty…they came from that dynasty..

Her name could be call call Boo Teik Tian, during her time, as how the ancient Minnan language of Southern China.

Buenas tardes , xfavor traduzcanlo al español

Anyone know if that’s from a drama the pictures they were using I could only read “ the empress something something “

Any movie that depicts the character of Wu Zetian?

This is why I love wu zetian

So basically a Queen or Empress Dowager is higher than a King/Emperor in Asian Dynasty

every good emperor has good side kicks Emperor Tang of Shang has the Elder Hermit forgot the name Liu Bang has Zhang Li Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, Xuan of Han has Huang Guo, Even Taizong has one too, and of Wu zetian that's Di Renjie

So the other story was different she was given birth in ganya temple..then became the servant of the empress

Puede traducir a español por favor 🙏 😩 gracias 🙂

I recognised ur Accent. Do u speak Cantonese as ur Chinese Language?

Is this a drama series? Is it worth watching? My favorite historical drama is Empress Ki.

Guys i have a question.. Why is wu zetian considered the ONLY Chinese female emperor but we also had dowager Cixi? Pls explain someone
