In the history of China, there are only a handful of women who have more rights than the emperor, but after all, there are several, such as Empress Dowager Cixi. But in the end, only Wu Zetian ascended the throne, breaking the history that only male emperors existed for thousands of years. Even today, there is still no other girl country except Wu Zetian, so Wu Zetian is absolutely unprecedented. Calling Wu Zetian a legend is not enough to show her greatness.
Unlike modern times, women's status was lower in ancient times, and it was almost impossible for women to get ahead. In people's subconscious, women are subservient to men, an auxiliary or a dispensable ornament on men's road to success. In order to gain power, ancient women had to rely on men, because women themselves could not be officials. However, due to the society at that time, women did not even have the opportunity to receive education, let alone the idea of fighting for power and profit. Almost all women are self-indulgent.
Wu Zetian went from a maid-in-waiting to the top of a country. She suffered a pain that a male emperor had never experienced. There are many emperors who killed the king in history, but Wu Zetian died by her sword in order to ascend the throne of the emperor. Her road was paved with corpses by countless people with names and no names.
After Wu Zetian's death, she left a tablet without words, which puzzled later people. It is still inconclusive. In any case, Wu Zetian is a great woman and will never be forgotten by history.
