When it comes to the first female emperor in the history of China, the concept of Wu Zetian is definitely in people's minds. As we all know, the first female emperor in the history of China was actually someone else. Her name is Chen Shuozhen, from Zitong Town, Chun 'an County. Why she is not as famous as Wu Zetian may be because she is not as influential as Wu Zetian, and there are no court secrets and legends like Wu Zetian. But she was indeed the first female emperor in the history of China.
Chen Shuozhen, the female leader of the peasant uprising in the Tang Dynasty, was the first woman in China to be called the "emperor". She calls herself a fairy and is regarded as a god by the people.
There are various legends about her, but it is generally believed that she is just an ordinary rural girl in Zitongyuan. She lost her husband in her early years and her family was poor. Because I couldn't bear to see the villagers being persecuted by officials, I led the uprising and showed great courage and wisdom. After the uprising, she called herself "Emperor Wenjia".
