Is there a female prime minister in history?

Shangguan Waner in the Tang Dynasty was the first and only female prime minister in ancient China. In fact, Shangguan Waner is the prime minister, not the prime minister. The earliest female prime minister in the history of China should be Fu Tuo, the princess of Wuding, the king of Shang Dynasty in the 2nd century BC/KLOC-0, which is also called "Little Minister Tuo" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Shang Dynasty.

The status of women in Shang Dynasty was very high, and it was not uncommon for "female cadres" to hold important military and political positions. Fu Hao (Mu Xin), the Empress of Wuding, not only presided over the sacrifices in the ancestral temple, but also led a great army to make great achievements many times. She should be the first female military commander in ancient China, which is confirmed by Fu Hao's tomb found in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Anyang Xiaotun. Fu Tong, Princess of Wuding (Oracle Bone Inscriptions wrote "Broom Tong Tong") was the earliest female prime minister in ancient China.

In Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Shang Dynasty, besides Fu Hao, Gui and E, Wu Ding's spouses were Fu Huan, Fu Zhou, Fu Chu, Fu Leech, Fu Qi, Fu Pregnancy, Fu Rat, Fu Pang and Fu Ting. Fu Shu is Princess Wuding, which has been recognized by scholars.

However, this woman has a proper connection with the word "little minister" in her Oracle. The prime ministers of Shang dynasty were called "little ministers" and "little ministers", which were very common in ancient Chinese characters. Shang Tang's prime minister, Yi Yin, was called "the little minister". For example, "I am only a minor minister, and I have Kyushu, which is blocked by Yu." "Mozi Shang" said that "there are small ministers in Tang Dynasty". There were no ministers in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, only small ministers, and the small ministers in Shang Dynasty were the important ministers of Zaifu, ranking second only to the king.

In the late Shang Dynasty, ministers were obedient.

Among the Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Wuding, the only concubine in Wuding who is called "Little Minister" is Fu Tuo, which is called "Little Minister Tuo" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. In the late Shang Dynasty, one end of Yu Cong was engraved with an inscription with four big characters, which was interpreted as: I am going to see you. "Appropriate" is a person's name. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, it is customary that all names from women are women. Wu Ding Oracle Bone Inscriptions said, "On the afternoon of the 15th, was the junior minister a woman (or so)?" "Not a strong woman" means asking if you want children. Naturally, this little minister is a woman. In Wu Ding's Oracle Bone Inscriptions, it was also predicted that "a little minister is a good woman", and this little minister who gave birth to a child can only be a woman.
