Wu Zhao, named Zetian, was born in Wenshui, Bingzhou. In the 14th year of his reign, he held martial arts examinations, instituted palace examinations, and established the system of adding titles. Light corvees and low taxes, resting with the people, encouraging teaching and farming, rewarding farming and weaving, and sustainable social and economic development created a grand scene of "inheriting Zhenguan at the top and starting from Kaiyuan at the bottom". When it comes to employing people, follow the good deeds as if they were the best, be a virtuous person, and appoint the virtuous. This is why all the talented people in the world are put to good use. Politically, Qian Gang was dictatorial and had to do everything personally, which greatly strengthened the imperial power. Externally, the recovery of the four towns in Anxi basically maintained the stability of the empire. "Flowers grow all night long, don't wait for the morning breeze to blow." This is her attitude towards life. Before death, life and death are all in the hands of one's own hands; after death, he will be removed from the imperial title and buried in the Qianling Mausoleum, leaving an unmarked monument for future generations to comment on his merits and demerits. This great woman who "never seen the ancients before, never came after, thinking about the long journey of heaven and earth, crying alone with sadness" gave countless women who were oppressed in the feudal era only hope to get ahead, and she deserved the title of "one emperor through the ages".
