Wu Zetian is the only female emperor in Chinese history and one of the most influential and controversial figures in Chinese history. Since the mid-Tang Dynasty, people have made various comments on Wu Zetian. Since modern times, its research has received more and more attention, and academic treatises and popular readings have continued to appear. "The Great Biography of Wu Zetian" is the result of Mr. Luo Yuanzhen's lifelong research on Wu Zetian. He is the first person to use new perspectives to re-evaluate Wu Zetian since the founding of New China. It is believed that Wu Zetian was a famous politician in ancient Chinese history. She not only made remarkable achievements in literature, calligraphy, writings, etc., But also attached great importance to the development of culture and art. It played an important role in the historical development of the Tang Dynasty from the rule of Zhenguan to the prosperous age of Kaiyuan. The reason why Wu Zetian was able to become the only female emperor in Chinese history was, first, because she experienced a long-term process of exercising power, gradually eradicating political opposition forces, and thereby gradually establishing a solid political foundation; second, she had outstanding political achievements during her auxiliary period, and her 50 years in power was a relatively prosperous and developed period in the history of the Tang Dynasty. The society was stable, the population increased significantly, the economy was relatively developed, culture was prosperous, ethnic relations were normal and stable, and the border situation was basically stable. All these are preparing sufficient conditions for the arrival of the prosperous Kaiyuan era.
