The historical background of East Palace is set in Sui Dynasty, which mainly tells the deep love between Prince Li Chengyin of Sui Dynasty and Xiaofeng of nine princess, Xizhou. Although there is no dynasty in China's history, there are many similarities between the dynasties in the East Palace and the well-known Tang Dynasty.
Similarity 1. The emperor's surname is Li.
In the East Palace, the emperor of the dynasty is surnamed Li, and the prince who will enter the East Palace in the future is also surnamed Li, which is similar to the Tang Dynasty in history. Although the Li Dynasty was not the only regime ruled by Li Jianli in history, among many regimes, the Tang Dynasty lasted the longest and was the most powerful.
Similarity 2. Western affordable housing and Anxi metropolis affordable housing.
In addition, in the first half of the "East Palace", located in the Central Plains, in order to maintain the peace of the border, a place similar to the West Security Hospital was specially set up. On the one hand, the existence of the security court is to maintain the border peace of the dynasty, on the other hand, it is also to mediate the contradictions and disputes between other tribes. In fact, in the history of the Tang Dynasty, there was also a place similar to the Western Security Department. During Emperor Taizong's reign, there were two West Security Departments, West Zhou Security Department and Anxi Security Department, which were similar to the East Palace's West Security Department.
Similarity three. Guo Dan and Turks in history.
In the drama "East Palace", Li Chengyin, alias Gu Xiaowu, used Xiaofeng's affection and trust to successfully find the location of Wang Zhang, and cooperated with Shuobohe's army to destroy the whole family. In fact, in the original "East Palace", it was not Yan Dan that was wiped out by the imperial court, but the Turks, which was similar to the historical situation. In history, Turks were wiped out by the Tang Dynasty and Uighur. It can also be seen from this that this dynasty was modeled after the Tang Dynasty in history.
