When the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming, controlling historical memory became part of ruling the empire.

Imperial scholars compiled official histories that framed the Ming past in ways that supported Qing legitimacy.

Historiography became a subtle instrument of political authority. 📜👑

The past can be shaped as carefully as the present.

Tôn Tẩm - vị tướng tài ba với khí phách phi phàm, thông minh, cởi mở và là đối thủ xứng tầm của Gia Cát Lượng, nhưng trong suốt nghìn năm lại bị gán cho danh tiếng hẹp hòi, đố kỵ. Sự thật lịch sử dường như đã trao nhầm oan cho ông, khi chính sự lỗi lạc của Tôn Tẩm mới là điều khiến hậu thế cần ghi nhớ. #TongTuc #GiaCatLuong #TamQuoc #LichSu #TônTẩm #GiaCátLượng #TamQuốc #LịchSử #ChineseHistory #ThreeKingdoms

Everyone go and look at the bibliography @Forestofglory compiled for me for Fandom Trumps Hate!

The Liao Dynasty and the Khitans are topics I've found hard to research myself, and I knew Forest would be great at finding material on their, well, material culture. She found so many cool things to read and I love how she contextualised them all here! 💚

Tào Tháo nắm quyền lực trong tay, kiểm soát hoàng đế và triều đình, nhưng suốt đời không xưng đế. Vì sao? Ông hiểu rằng danh nghĩa "phò chúa cứu dân" giúp ông hợp pháp hóa hành động, thu phục nhân tâm và kiểm soát các phe phái. Xưng đế dễ gây phản cảm, làm mất lợi thế chính trị trước Tôn Quyền, Lưu Bị. Tào Tháo chọn làm "Chu Văn Vương" – dọn đường cho con nối nghiệp, giữ danh vị chí cao mà không mang tiếng mưu nghịch.
