Abstract
This paper briefly examines the textual propaganda that Empress Wu Zetian generated to legitimize her accession to the throne. These texts show the intention to reinforce the authority of the empress, both through the concepts of filial piety and loyalty, as well as the presence of auspices favorable to the reign of a woman.
