The Tang Dynasty did not hesitate to wage war and forced a person to change his name. Just because these two words are in his name, even the emperor's name has a special "taboo" system. An ordinary Chinese character, as long as it appears in the emperor's name, becomes exclusive to the emperor. In that dynasty, no one could directly mention or write it, nor could it be used in names. Not only baby names should be avoided, but also adult names must be deleted or changed.

For example, the founders of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Shijie and Li Yuan, changed their surnames to "Li". After Emperor Taizong Li Shimin acceded to the throne, Li Shiji had to avoid it, so he had to remove the word "world" and change it to Li Ji. The good name has changed beyond recognition, from Xu Shiqi to Li Ji. When my dear father sees it, he will be shocked. Makes people laugh and cry.

Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was named Michelle Ye. It doesn't matter if the word "Ye" is not commonly used, the word "Xuan" is very commonly used, and the word "Yuan" is used instead. As a result, the Qing literati almost died. When compiling history books and writing books, we should write them in Tang Dynasty. In front of the tomb of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in Shaanxi Province, there is still a stone tablet of the Qing Dynasty engraved with "Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty".

The problem is that the name of Li Jing, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, is Tang Yuanzong, which is easy to be confused. Duan, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, was changed to Duan Zhiyuan by the Qing people. The problem is that there was a man named Duan Zhiyuan in Nanzhao in the Tang Dynasty, which brought great trouble to the study of history, and it was simply a cigar smoke.

There is also an extreme "taboo" event in history, which triggered a taboo war. In the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, there was a small country Nanzhao. Nanzhao State, as one of the many vassal states in the Tang Dynasty, maintained a tributary relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and all the kings of the past dynasties accepted the knighthood of the Tang Dynasty.

With the changes in the strength of both sides, there have been several military conflicts, but on the whole, most of the time it is peaceful. However, during the reign of Tang Yizong, the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao fought again, and a war broke out. In the Tang Dynasty, "50,000 soldiers went to Daxing" and launched an attack on Nanzhao.

However, at that time, it was time for the Tang Dynasty to destroy the temple. The generals lacked national strength, and with the respect of the China powers, they tried their best to make an expedition, but they could never gain an advantage. However, Nanzhao State fought big with small ones, and "the soldiers came out of the year". As a result, "men are under the age of 15, and women plow to pay for the army." Both sides suffered heavy casualties and both sides lost.

The cause of the incident was that Nanzhao Wang refused to avoid changing his name. In the 13th year of Dazhong, Nanzhao King advised Feng Youliang to die, and his son succeeded to the throne. According to historical practice, the Tang Dynasty did not interfere in the succession of vassal States, but the new king had to accept the official knighthood of the Tang Dynasty before he could have the right to rule the region.

Tang Yizong has just succeeded to the throne. The Nanzhao messenger came to pay tribute and ask for a seal. Tang Yizong was filled with displeasure when he saw the signature of Nanzhao King on the throne. The new king is the eighth king of Nanzhao. His name has three words * * *, and I don't know what his father thought at the beginning. There are two words in one word * * that violate the "temple taboo" of the Tang emperor.

In fact, this is not surprising. Nanzhao uses Ailao and Chinese as the national languages, and its language and writing habits are different from those of the Central Plains. In their eyes, taboo system is neither understood nor necessary. The name of this new king is Meng Shilong. The word "teacher" violated the taboo of Tang Taizong, and the word "dragon" violated the taboo of Tang Xuanzong.

According to the taboo system of the Central Plains Dynasty, these two words can no longer be used in names. Tang Yizong then, in the name of Meng Shilong, forbidden the temples of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a letter "Never pay tribute" and cut off the tribute relationship between the two sides. Go back and ask your boss to change his name.

Later, Du Tuan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, suggested to the emperor that Nanzhao was, after all, remote, far from Qianshan in the Central Plains, and the news was blocked and the sandwich was not prosperous. Perhaps it was an unintentional mistake, and it is unknown that people who don't know are innocent, so they should be given a way to turn over a new leaf. Tang Yizong also thought he was overreacting. He listened to Du Fu's advice and sent messengers to inform Nanzhao. "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty" records that "the letter of the imperial edict is doubtful by its name, and the book's life cannot be lifted, so it will be renamed and sealed".

Make it clear to Nanzhao king that as long as you change your name, you will be conferred the title immediately. Tang Yizong also asked the talented ministers to give Meng Shilong a new name: Shuxin, an elegant and elegant name. Who knows that Meng Shilong, the king of Nanzhao, is also stubborn. The Book of the New Tang Dynasty records that he "killed young children, was frivolous and violent."

Meng Shilong was furious when he heard that the Tang Dynasty refused to confer titles and asked him to change his name. He doesn't care about the taboo system of the Central Plains Dynasty. My parents gave me a name and got in your way. What happened? The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was cruel to others! Just don't change! This name is settled. If you don't make me a saint, for example, can I stand on my own feet and be emperor?

"So he arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor, and built the yuan and built the pole." Tang Yizong was very angry when he heard the news. If he didn't obey, he immediately sent troops to fight. I don't think you will change it. A great war broke out. As a result, I played on and off for several years, and there was no result. Meng Shilong refused to change his name until he died. After serving for four years, Meng Shilong died of serious illness.

Before he died, he did not forget to stimulate the emperor of the Tang Dynasty again. He decided that the heir to the throne was his own son, named Changshun, who continued to violate the taboo of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and would not stop until he grieved him. In the Tang Dynasty, there was chaos in the world at this time, and eunuchs were authoritarian. The Huang Chao Uprising swept the world the following year. No one is arguing about what is taboo.
