Thailand, formerly known as Siam, has a history and culture of more than 700 years. In A.D. 1238, the Thai people established the Sukhothai Dynasty and began to form a relatively unified country. Experienced Sukhothai Dynasty, Dacheng Dynasty, Tunwu Dynasty and Bangkok Dynasty.
Tunwu dynasty
The Wuli Dynasty (1769- 1782) is the third dynasty in Thailand's history and an important unified dynasty in Thailand's history, which laid the basic map of modern Thailand. It was founded by a young general Daxin (also known as Zheng Zhao). Daxin is a history book of China. The writer is from Chaoshan, Guangdong, China, and Zheng Zhao is honored as Emperor Wu Li by Thai people. Later generations revered Tai Huang as the first of the five emperors. Marsh's father Yongzheng came from Huafu Village, Chenghai County, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, China (now Guangyi Street, Chenghai District, Shantou City).
After the collapse of the Thai dynasty, Zheng Xin, a native of Chaoshan, China, recruited troops in eastern Thailand, repelled the Burmese army, suppressed separatist forces in various places, and recovered Chiang Mai territory in the north and Malay Peninsula in the south. 1767 On February 28th, he was crowned Emperor of Wu Li, known as Huang Zheng in history. This is the first time in history that China people have proclaimed themselves emperor overseas. 1770, Thailand was unified at the autumnal equinox, and the territory of Ayutthaya was restored. From 1774 to 1775, he once again commanded the army and civilians to repel the large-scale invasion of the Burmese army and carried out military expansion in Cambodia many times.
Zheng Xin reigned in 15 and died in 1782. Because of his great contribution to the country, the Thai people admire him very much. Later generations revered Tai Huang as the first of the five emperors. When Thailand was founded, there were 50 emperors in four dynasties, of which only five were demoted as? The great emperor? Zheng Xin is one of them. The Thai government has set up a center in Ali Square in Bangkok? Huang Zheng Daxin Monument? For people to pay tribute to. The Thai government stipulates that every year, 65438+February 28th, that is, the day when Emperor Wu Li ascended the throne, is? Zheng's voyage anniversary? In memory of this national hero.
Daxin
Daxin (1734 April17-1782 April 7), also known as Tun, Daxin, Zheng Zhao, Zheng and Pida, was born in Chaoshan, Guangdong, China, the first of the five emperors in Tai Huang, and the first overseas emperor in history. His father Yongzheng is from Huafu Village, Chenghai County, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, China.
After the collapse of the Thai dynasty, Zheng Xin, a native of Chenghai, Chaozhou Prefecture, China, recruited troops in eastern Thailand, repelled the Burmese army, pacified the separatist forces in various places, unified the whole country, and established the third important unified dynasty in Thai history. 1February 28th, 767, 1767, was established as the Emperor who swallowed Wu, which laid the basic map of modern Thailand.
Because of his love and kindness to the people, he has made great contributions to the country and the Thai people admire him very much. He is known as a Chinese national hero in Thailand in the18th century.
In Li Wu, a twin city on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Thailand, Wangzheng Temple, also known as Liming Temple, was established to commemorate the 4/kloc-0 generation of Thai kings and national heroes. Now Liming Temple is a famous temple in Thailand and one of the royal temples in Thailand.
Why are all kings in Thailand surnamed Wang? Zheng? ?
Zheng Xin's ancestral home is in Luobuli Village, Chenghai County, Guangdong Province, China. In the early years of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xin's father, Zheng Da, went south to Siam in a wooden sailboat, engaged in smuggling trade between China and Siam, and was charged with murder. At first, he struggled to survive among the lower classes in Ayutthaya. Later, he won money by gambling and got the right to contract casinos. He began to develop, changed his name to Yongzheng, and was commended by the king? Kunpai? Title. He married a Siamese girl and gave birth to Zheng Xin. Zheng Xin is of China descent. It can be said that he was the first overseas Chinese emperor in history. He also made great achievements and was recognized by the Siamese people.
Because Zheng Xin had established a good relationship with the Qing Dynasty at that time, and Zheng Xin himself was from China, after Zhao Pilie Ke Li (now Rama I) usurped the throne, he was afraid that the Qing Dynasty would send troops to attack Siam to avenge King Thaksin. In a.d. 1790 (55 years of Qianlong), Rama I sent envoys to request knighthood and gave himself a Chinese name? Hua Zheng? , claiming to be the son of Zheng Xin. So every generation of Thai kings will give themselves a Chinese name, called? Zheng? . Even after the Great Qing Dynasty fell out and was divided up by the great powers, this habit has not changed and continues to this day.
Thailand is the only independent country in the modern history of Southeast Asia and has not been colonized by western imperialism. In fact, we have opened the modern history of Thailand. During the Rama I period, Thailand, like all autocratic monarchy countries in Asia, basically implemented the traditional policy of closing the country to the outside world, fearing that foreigners would shake their rule and shut them out. In A.D. 1826, the British opened the first trading port in Thailand. Of course, as we all know, just one trading port can't satisfy the appetite of British imperialism. Rama IV, who had learned advanced western knowledge, warmly welcomed western imperialism and revised the old and pedantic trade treaty signed between Britain and Jessadabodindra. At this time, the British gained the right to settle in Bangkok, the right to trade in ports and the right to preach freely. At the same time, Rama IV also gave up many traditional emperor privileges. Thanks to the efforts of Rama IV, a traditional eastern country is slowly approaching modern civilization.
But it was not Rama IV who really made Thailand move towards modern civilization, but his son Rama V, Emperor Chulalongkorn. At that time, the samurai Rama came to power, and all parts of Thailand were colonies of western powers. In this case, Rama V took a buffer measure: he directly handed over all the powers of neighboring countries such as Laos and Cambodia, which were originally controlled by Thailand, to Britain, thus safeguarding the independence of his country. Later, Rama V not only sent all his children to study in western countries, but also sent all his capable subjects to study in western countries. This series of measures has accelerated the modernization process in Thailand.
Of course, although Thailand is only a small country, it will assess the situation. Rama I was afraid of the Qing Dynasty and changed his surname to Zheng. Seeing that neighboring countries were occupied by imperialism, they immediately introduced western ideas, making Thailand the only viable country in Asia at that time. Of course, on the other hand, it also proves that weak countries have no diplomatic theory. When the Qing dynasty was strong, Thailand took the initiative to ask the envoys to knighthood the Qing dynasty for fear of sending troops to the Qing dynasty; At that time, China culture also influenced many countries. For example, Vietnam, South Korea and other countries used Chinese in ancient times. Later, it was carved up by western powers. After the fall of China, they abolished Chinese one after another.
Abstract: Zhao Paichakri killed Zheng Xin in a coup, which is a rebellion in China culture. So, he dare not say himself? Regicide? . In the above-mentioned documents of the Qing Dynasty, he lied that he was Zheng Xin's son named Hua Zheng. After that, all his descendants will use Chinese names on the table. Over time, Zheng became the surname of China of Thai royal family.
Even if we can't assume history, we feel sorry for Zheng Xin, the originator of Thailand. As a promising young man, his efforts in some aspects are worthy of recognition, but as a politician, he is not qualified. Not only did he fail to see through his ambition, but he died at the hands of his subordinates. From this point of view, in the battle for imperial power, no matter which country will inevitably repeat the same mistakes and walk into the abyss. Only consciously seeking for the interests of the people is the fundamental way for a country to maintain long-term stability.
