 * //I have had several accomplishments. I am well educated and know how to play music, write, and read Chinese books. I defeated the northern powers and then I created a twelve-part reform program for my country while I was empress. In this reform I had things like stop the slander, cut the taxes, and show respect for someone if their mother died. It is hard to go down in history like I will, but if you are ruthless and mean like I am you will be remembered. I have been able to rule China during a peaceful time in our history. I also have helped give women positions of power, and put my relatives in some high positions.// ||


 * =**Culture**= ||
 * I was born in 625 A.D. and I was raised in China during the Tang dynasty. I started out being rich and noble as the daughter of a merchant, and I was educated at home. I became known for my beauty, humor, and intelligence. When I was 15 I became the concubine of the emperor of the Tang Court, his name was T'ai Tsung. When I was 27 years old I became a concubine for Emperor Kao Tsung and I was one of his favorites. I was married to him for 5 years. Other concubines were jealous of me when I gave birth to his daughter. I wanted more power at that time so I used my clever ways to become the first and only female ruler in the history of China after Kao Tsung died of a stroke. I am an autocrat, which means I am power hungry,I like to gain and keep power. ||

 * I am extremely devoted to Buddhism. I was raised in a family that is very dedicated to our religion. I am secretly supported by the Buddhist sects. They believe that I am the reincarnation of "Bodhaisattva Martreya" which means I am believed to be the Buddhist messiah. During my reign as emperor I made Buddhism the religion in China and got rid of Daoism. ||
