封建时代,皇帝即位,为了显示其至高无上,权力无边,永世传递,同时也为炫耀自己政绩卓著,往往要让臣子给自己加上名号,这就叫做上尊号。有人撰文说:“‘尊号’一说,自唐朝始……尊号约有两种,一种是生前所上,一种是死后追加。而第一个于在位期间即不断加上尊号者乃是武则天。” Feudal era, the emperor ascended the throne, in order to show that it supreme, power boundless, eternal transmission, but also to show off their outstanding achievements, often let the courtiers to give yourself the name, which is called the highest respect. Someone wrote: “'respect symbol' said that since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty ... there are about two kinds of respect, one is born before, one is added after death, while the first during the reign that is constantly added King respect is Wu Zetian. ”
