A Chronicle of Ten Great Empresses – A Study of Female Dominance – A Book of Passionate and Alluring Romance – A Record of Courtly Sin. In a China dominated by patriarchal and husband-centric values, where the belief in "men are superior, women are inferior" was deeply rooted, the rule of women was considered scandalous. It was believed that "hen crowing at dawn brings misfortune to the household, a woman replacing a man in power leads to family ruin, and a wife seizing her husband's governance results in the nation's downfall." The three thousand beauties in the imperial harem were an undeniable political force. As empresses, who stood "under one person but above ten thousand," they held a supreme political position.
This book selects ten of the most representative queens in Chinese history. Some, like Daji and Zhao Feiyang, changed the destiny of their nations through their unparalleled beauty and were later labeled as "harlots" or "country-destroying." Others, such as Lü Zhi, the first woman in Chinese history to rule independently, Liang (Empress Xiao), who built the Northern Wei Dynasty through her extraordinary political skills, Jia Nanfeng, a cruel but cunning empress who seized power and ruled for ten years, Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, Empress Wei, who endured humiliation in her disgrace but became arrogant and tyrannical once in power, Xiao Taihou of the Khitan people, who brought enlightenment and revival to the Liao Dynasty through her wisdom, Empress Xiaozhuang, who raised two emperors and shaped the destiny of her era, and Empress Dowager Cixi, who ruled for 48 years and single-handedly supported the declining Qing Dynasty. They were heroines and fierce women, as well as shapers and chroniclers of history.
The ten most representative queens in Chinese history. Some rose to prominence through their beauty, others gained power through cunning, and still others ruled the world with strategic brilliance. The course of Chinese history shifted and flourished with their subtle smiles, gentle gestures, and elegant presence. Perhaps the true history of China was written by their slender fingers.
