In China's history, Guo Moruo praised the ancient emperors as ()
A. Tang Taizong
B. Tang Xuanzong
C. Wu Zetian
D. Tang Gaozong
Best answer:
C
Answer analysis:
This is Guo Moruo's praise for Wu Zetian. "The government opens the new era, and governs the Zhenguan." It means to praise her for developing the Zhenguan governance of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and laying the foundation for Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty's prosperous Kaiyuan era.
The first couplet, "Zhenguan", is the year title of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty; "Kaiyuan" is the year title of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. These two periods were the periods of economic prosperity and development in the Tang Dynasty. When Empress Wu was in power, she basically continued the "governance of Zhenguan" and laid the foundation for the later "Kaiyuan Prosperity". Therefore, the upper couplet is called "Zhihong Zhenguan" and "Zhengqi Kaiyuan". The name of "Sword Pavilion" in the second couplet is mostly found in historical records and has become a symbol of Shu. "Lizhou" is the jurisdiction of Guangyuan today. The second couplet says that the beauty of the Queen and celebrities spread to Shu is the pride of Shu, and Lizhou is covered by its glory. From the point of view of historical materialism, the conjunction affirms Wu Zetian's extraordinary talents and achievements.
