In ancient China, many top marshals who were thousands of miles away in the midst of their planning and decisive victory, around who is the strongest military expert in our history, have always been "public and reasonable, and the mother is reasonable", just the ranking of the military generals of the Three Kingdoms can break the sky, not to mention so many outstanding generals in the whole history of China.
No matter how we personally view this first and second, but in the Tang Dynasty, there was already an official conclusion, that is, the establishment of the Wumiao Ten Zhe with Jiang Shang (Jiang Taigong Jiang Ziya) as the main ancestor and Zhang Liang as the deputy ancestor, so that our folk discussion was finally temporarily put to rest.
Although the Tang Dynasty only lasted for about three hundred years, the Wumiao Temple continued. But after all, the rulers' preferences are different, and the people enshrined in the Martial Temples of all dynasties and dynasties are actually slightly different, with increases and decreases, but the generals who can be selected to enter the Martial Temple must at least be a famous general who is powerful in the world.
We all know that in the ancient East Asian region, China was absolutely deserved the center, and the surrounding countries were heavily influenced by the Chinese at that time in culture and politics, so there were also martial temples with their local characteristics in Korea, Vietnam and other places, such as Korea dedicated to goguryeo prime minister Eulji Wende and other local famous generals.
However, this Temple of Kyoshi Wu in Hue, Vietnam, is a bit subtle, with a total of 18 people enshrined, of which only six are vietnamese local celebrities, and the rest are all Chinese celebrities.
The Temple of Wu is also dedicated to Jiang Taigong and Zhang Liang, and the others are Guan Zhong, Sun Wu, Han Xin, Li Jing, Li Sheng, Xu Da, Sima Rang Tho, Zhuge Liang, Guo Ziyi, Yue Fei, Chen Guojun, Ruan Youjin, Zun Muhui, Li Kui, Ruan Youyi, Ruan Wenzhang, a total of twelve famous Chinese generals from the pre-Qin to the Ming Dynasty.
Such a situation can be said to surprise every visitor, you Vietnam worship your own military generals, what do you do to pull our Chinese military generals over? Now it is equivalent to saying that "except for Chen Guojun of the Chen Dynasty, Li Kui of the Li Dynasty, Ruan Youjin, Ruan Youyi, Zun Mu Hui, and Ruan Wen Zhang of the Nguyen Dynasty, all of them are Chinese military generals, which is really confusing."
The reason why this martial temple has such a situation of worshiping Chinese warriors has to start from the beginning of its establishment. The Wu Temple in Hue, Vietnam is a wu temple built during the reign of the Vietnamese Nguyễn pilgrim ancestor Nguyễn Phuc Huệng, who himself admired Tang Xuanzong, so he followed Xuanzong's example and also established the Vietnamese Wu Temple.
At the beginning, Nguyen Phuc Phuoc did not intend to worship the six local Vietnamese warriors, after the initial construction of the Wu Temple was completed, the Qunchen looked dumbfounded, they were all Chinese military generals, this "cult of personality" is not good, you are the emperor of Vietnam! Therefore, the courtiers jointly signed a letter, and Nguyen Phuc Phuoc had no choice but to reluctantly add the six people.
Can you imagine building a temple in our own country, but enshrined in it the great figures of other countries, and put our own hero Haojie at the end? This is obviously not possible. So why did the Vietnamese emperor at that time dare to blatantly play this kind of riotous operation, and was he really not afraid of causing the Vietnamese people to complain? This has to start with Vietnam's past and present lives.
After Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, he carried out many reforms, one of which was the establishment of a county system. The northern and central regions of present-day Vietnam were all qin dynasty lands at that time, and were divided into elephant counties by the first emperor. Later, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a great chaos in the world, and a qin dynasty general named Zhao Tuo took this opportunity to occupy Xiang County and established the State of South Vietnam.
The Chu-Han rivalry eventually ended with the establishment of the Han Dynasty by Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and Zhao Tuo, seeing that China was unified again, quickly surrendered to the Han Dynasty with the South Yue Kingdom, and Zhao Tuo and his descendants became the princes under the Han Dynasty. For the next millennium, Vietnam remained part of the Central Dynasty.
Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful and prosperous, the relationship with Tubo has always been difficult to say, and the two countries did have good relations during the Songtsen Gampo period, but then with the dispute in the Tuguhun region, the Tang and Tubo began to turn against each other, and the Nanzhao in the southwest region was also involved in the dispute, and the Vietnamese region began to have different thoughts.
With the two battles of Tianbao, the strength of the Tang Dynasty was greatly damaged, and Jiedu made An Lushan and Shi Siming take the opportunity to launch the An Shi Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty was torn apart from then on, and the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and then the land of China entered a chaotic period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms. At a time when the war was arguably the weakest of a country, the Vietnamese Leader Ding Bu took the opportunity to lead his troops to unify the Vietnamese region and establish the Great Qu Yue State independent of the Central Dynasty.
However, with the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the Shenzhou continent once again completed a relatively comprehensive situation of great unification, and although Vietnam nominally became a separate feudal dynasty, it was said in the "General Treatise of Yue Jian Tong Kao": "Since Emperor Ding Xian, it has been orthodox, and it has been the rightful king of ming, and I am the monarch of orthodoxy. But at this time, he also maintained very close ties with China, and successive rulers would regularly pay tribute to the Emperor of the Central Plains and maintain very frequent trade exchanges, making the Song Dynasty the suzerainty.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol Iron Horse was really unable to adapt to tropical rainforest warfare, so Vietnam escaped a disaster, but with the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang left a will, do not go to the Vietnamese to die, the environment there is not suitable.
However, in the face of Vietnam's repeated provocations, Zhu Di's violent temper could not sit still, and he fought back, so Vietnam began the road of tribute to subservience. After the Qing Dynasty, no matter how China changed dynasties, Vietnam always existed as a vassal state, until european colonists set foot on this land, and all forces began to truly reshuffle.
Since the beginning of the Dynasty in the minds of the Vietnamese people, the Great Qu Yue Kingdom, was born out of Chinese culture, the local people will also consider themselves to be part of the Chinese civilization for a long time in history. The emperors and people of their country all identified themselves as Han Chinese, and they regarded themselves and the Central Dynasty as the relationship between the Southern and Northern Dynasties during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Nguyen Phuc Huong reigned from 1820 to 1841 AD, during the reign of the Qing Dynasty, when the European powers had not yet knocked on the door of the late Qing Dynasty, and Vietnam was still a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, also implementing a closed country policy. Therefore, when the Wu Temple was established, Nguyen Phuc Huong believed that everyone was from the same civilization circle, and they were completely equal in spirit and culture, but there was a difference between geographical location and national strength.
Compared with the Vietnamese warriors, it is obvious that there are more famous generals in the five thousand years of Chinese history, and their style is even greater, which is why when they established the Wu Temple, they were still dominated by the top warriors in Chinese civilization, and the local warriors were supplemented, but for cultural reasons.
