The core measure is to build the "Tang Ming" in Luoyang, also known as the Tiangong. According to the ancients, Tang Ming can ascend to heaven and unify everything. Here, the son of heaven can not only observe the world, but also announce politics and religion. This is a sacred place that embodies the unity of man and nature.
When Wu Zetian first built the Tang Dynasty, she demolished the Ganyuan Hall in the main hall and built the Tang Ming in it. Originally named "Vientiane Shrine", Tang Ming was renamed "Long Live the Sky" after its completion, which was called the first year of "Long Live the Sky".
However, just after the completion of Tang Ming, it caught fire and was burned for no reason. Wu Zetian announced that Tang Ming would be built as before. So in the second year after Tang Ming was destroyed, the reconstructed Tang Ming was completed, and it was called "Tian Tong Palace" after reconstruction. When it was completed, the year number changed again, which was called the "magical first year".
As far back as AD 64 (the seventh year of Emperor Hanming), many immortals gathered in Luoyang, and heard that Kunlun God would come to Luoyang to inspect and build Tianfu (the fairy capital) to pool the power of Buddhism and Taoism to deal with Mayan gods. It is expected that Tianfu will be built in Luoyang with great possibility. At that time, people's feelings were high and only the east wind was needed.
However, the Kunlun God built Tianfu between Shu Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain. After comprehensive consideration, many scattered immortals regretted it. In the end, Luoyang was only reduced to the status of "capital city", that is, the functions of culture, education and research were placed here, and the political and military centers were placed in Shushan and Qingcheng Mountain. This incident has made many immortals unhappy for hundreds of years.
This dusty past later reached the ears of Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian told San Xian that Luoyang did not become Tianfu (Xiandu) at that time, and I also felt very sad. Since Kunlun became the Kunlun market, even the immortals in Kunlun have no decent residence. Since Shu is a land of abundance, its main military position is also the seat of heaven. It is not appropriate for God to come to earth and do things in heaven. Luoyang is the capital with a strong cultural atmosphere.
The concept of "the capital of gods" was first put forward by Wu Zetian. After the news spread, the scattered immortals heard about it and all thought that this young man was quite capable of tossing. Although they know that Kunlun God may not agree to such a thing, what if he does? Luoyang has always had scattered immortals, unlike the land of abundance, which is a junior generation, and its magic is not good. If it really becomes the capital of the gods, how convenient it is to communicate with God in the future!
So when Wu Zetian was in power, the official name of Luoyang was not Luoyang, but Shen Du, which is why Wu Zetian was obviously a figure in the Buddhist world, but suddenly changed the name of Luoyang to Shen Du after taking office, which was also a great blow in the world and puzzled everyone in the world.
