I am Xiao Qi, a Sichuan girl who likes demons and ghosts, and a cute girl who is addicted to. This manuscript comes from Zhibei Tour.
According to the "Ancient Bamboo Book Chronicle", the Shang Dynasty established a dynasty from Chengtang to Xia, to the Shang King Huan (Yin Shu Wang), a total of 496 years, and finally was destroyed by the Zhou people of Xitu and established the Zhou Dynasty.
According to the records of the Book of Poetry, Lu Song and Gong Gong, the great cause of the Zhou people and the merchants was already "the real beginning of the Shang" when the King of Zhou Tai (Gong Qi's father) was already "the real beginning of the Shang", and then after wang Jili, The King of Zhou Wen, and the King of Zhou Wu, and finally the successful destruction of the shang,
That is to say, the zhou people's extinction of the shang was finally completed after at least four generations of efforts.
Then some people asked, there are many countries in the western soil, why are the Zhou people so unremittingly committed to cutting merchants? What deep hatred do the Zhou people and businessmen have? In fact, when it comes to this problem, it is really "a child has no wife, it is a long story."
At present, historians firmly believe that the Zhou people are the Rongdi tribes of the West, they were originally born in the West, envious of the territory, wealth, and people of the great merchants, and only then did they have the ambition to cut down the merchants. If you look closely at history, this is not the case.
The "Chinese Zhou Yushang" contains the sacrifice of the father of the gongmou said:
"In the past, I first became a king and a queen to serve Yu and Xia. And the decline of Xia, abandoning ji and not doing business, my first king did not use his official, but sneaked himself between Rong Di. ”
The place between Rong di and Di was the Shaanxi and Jin dynasties, and the Zhou people originally lived in Feng (or written 邠), in present-day Xunyi County, Shaanxi (one said to be in the neighboring Chenxian County), and later migrated southwest to Zhouyuan under the Qishan Mountains (in present-day Fufeng, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, around Qishan).
These places are all areas where the various departments of Xi rong are active, which is why Zong Zhou is threatened by Inuyasha.
According to the father of the priest, the Zhou people did not originally live between Rong Di, they were originally a vassal state of Yu Xia, and had always been the officials of Hou Ji, and by the end of the Xia Dynasty, the king of Zhou Xian did not sneak into the Rong Di.
We know that Yu Xia was originally in the country of the Central Plains, followed by the Yu Dynasty, and many scholars believe that Yu Xia was in Shanxi, which is obviously a big misunderstanding.
Mr. Guo Moruo pointed out the reason for this in the article "The Problem of Xia Yu": the Xia Dynasty actually lived in the Central Plains, because it was expelled by merchants and lost the country, so the Xia people and many of their vassal states fled to the northwest and became Rong Di.
One of the greatest enemies of the merchants in the Yin Dynasty, the "Tufang", was a state established by the Xia people after the fall of the Xia Dynasty, which later became the Huns and the Xiongnu.
Mr. Hu Houxuan further stated Mr. Guo's point of view in the article "Oracle Bone Tufang for the Examination of the Xia Nationality", believing that the Tufang in Bu Ci was the Xia ethnic group that migrated west after being defeated by the merchants, and the Tufang lived in the "Tang Tu" mentioned in the Bu Ci, pointing out that "Tang is Tang Tu, Tang Place Name, between present-day Hefen in Shanxi, around Yicheng." The earth is the soil of the earth, and the Xia people,
Tang Tu, meaning tang land inhabited by the Xia people",
The Tufang had already been conquered by the Yin people at the time of Wuding, so there was no more invasion and conquest of the Tufang by the Tuding after Wuding, and these views were undoubtedly correct.
Then you can imagine that from the Shang Tang dynasty to the Shang Dynasty Wuding period, the merchants were still at war with the Rong Di in the northwestern Shaanxi and Jin dynasties, and their forces did not enter Shanxi until the Wuding period.
If the Xia Dynasty has always been in Shanxi, indicating that the Xia Dynasty was not conquered until the Wuding period, then where does the "Shang Tang extinguish the Xia" begin?
The ancients destroyed the country, all occupied their land, enslaved their people, the Zhou people destroyed the shang is a perfect example, but what about the Shang Tang extinction xia? It did not even hit the territory of the Xia Dynasty, but only occupied parts of the Central Plains to the eastern and western parts of the shandong, how did this "extinction of summer" be extinguished?
Therefore, we can only believe what Mr. Guo Moruo and others said, the Xia Dynasty was not originally in Shanxi, but in the Central Plains.
Their dynasty was overthrown by the merchants, the land was occupied, but the tribes did not disappear, but fled to the northwest, re-established the state, and continued to confront the merchants, that is, the Xia Dynasty was gone, but the Xia nation and the Xia kingdom were still there, but fled to Shanxi in the west.
This is also the reason why the Zhou Dynasty has always called the Jindi in Shanxi "Xia Xu",
Because after the fall of the Xia Dynasty, the Xia people established a state here, and it lasted until the Yin Shang period before being defeated, naturally this place can also be regarded as "Xia Ruins", but it is obviously wrong to say that the "Summer Ruins" were also here during the Xia Dynasty. Therefore, after Mr. Guo Moruo examined the war in Yin Xu's Bu Ci in the book "Bu Ci Tong", he clearly pointed out:
The merchants had no strong enemies in the southeast, and their enemies all came from the northwest, that is, those Rongdi regions.
In the Xia Dynasty, there should not have been the concept of "Rong" and "Di", but after the Xia people fled to the northwest, the merchants called them Rong or Di.
That is, the Rong Di mentioned in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties was actually a remnant of the Xia Dynasty.
The most powerful of them was the Xiǎnyǔn, also known as the Xiongnu (xūnyù), a new nomadic tribe formed by the re-integration of their remnants with the Northwest Rongdi States such as Gongfang after the tufang was destroyed by Wuding
As usual, the power was strong, and from the Zhou to the Han Dynasty, it was a fierce enemy of the Central Plains, which is why the "Chronicle of the Xiongnu" records that the Xiongnu recognized the descendants of Chun wei, the son of Xia Jie.
After the fall of the Xia Dynasty, the Xia people fled to the northwest region to become Rong Di, and they always wanted to counterattack back, so they have always been enemies of the Shang, which is the reason.
As one of the vassal states of Xia, the Zhou people's so-called "self-jumping between Rong Di" is that after the fall of the Xia Dynasty, they followed the remnants of Xia to the northwest and fled, they themselves became a branch of Rong Di, and their relationship with the Xia people can be regarded as very close.
Mencius? Under King Hui of Liang: "The Great King", the "Great King" is the King of Zhou, who has always been a vassal state of Rong Di.
Mr. Xu Zhuoyun said in the History of the Western Zhou Dynasty:
"Since the origin of the Zhou people is in Shanxi, the Zhou people have never forgotten the relationship between their own ethnic group and the ancient Xia people in Shanxi. The Zhou people claimed to be the descendants of Xia and regarded Xia as authentic. ”
In fact, the Zhou people, like the Xia people, did not originate in Shanxi, but originally lived in the Central Plains, and only fled to Shanxi with the Xia people after the death of Xia, and later migrated repeatedly, settled in The Land, and migrated to Zhou Yuan when king Tai of Zhou.
It is precisely for this reason that in the war of the Xia people against the great merchants, Zhou must also be a member of them, and naturally, they will also be subject to the fierce conquest of the great merchants
Therefore, in the Yin Xu Bu Ci we will see "Wei Zhou Fang Zheng" (Oracle Bone Collection" 06657), "Zhai Zhou" ("Oracle Bone Collection" 20508), "Cutting Zhou" ("Oracle Bone Collection" 22294) and other prophecies, indicating that the merchants have been conquering Zhou Fang, if the Zhou people are not enemies of the merchants, why should the merchants conquer them?
Then we can also know another truth, which is the reason why King Tai of Zhou moved to Zhou Yuan.
"Mencius Liang HuiWang" says:
"In the past, the great king lived in The Great King, and the Di people invaded him, and went to live under the Qishan Mountains."
Later, Sima Qian's "Records of History" also followed this saying. But if you think about it, the Zhou people were originally a branch of the Rong Di, and they and the Di people were allies, or even relatives, how could the Di people invade them? Looking at Yin Xubuci, we know that the Zhou people's migration to the southwest must have been after being conquered and oppressed by merchants, and in order to escape for their lives, they had to migrate farther to the southwest, just to avoid the conquest of the merchants, which was not at all a matter of "being forced by Rong Di".
Mr. Li Zhonglin believes that "an important reason for the ancient gong to move away from the land is to temporarily avoid the sharpness of the merchants", I am afraid that this is the case.
Even in Zhou Yuan, who fled to Qixia, the Zhou people were still "immortal in the heart of the dead merchant" and continued to plot "Qi Shang". Originally, they were working together with the xia people's alliance, but at this time, the original xia alliance was probably broken up badly, and the Zhou people were forced to flee to Zhou Yuan, and they had to go their own way, so they said that they were "real start merchants".
From this point of view, Zhou Ren is a hardcore ally of the Xia people, and he is certainly also an anti-Shang cadre and main force.
The statement in Mencius should be the Zhou people's own lies, and the reason why the Zhou people say this is because at this time the Shang has been destroyed by them, and how can the sage King Zhou Tai in their minds be driven away by a country that allows itself to be destroyed?
So I refused to say that, I said that I let Rong Di force it, because during the Zhou Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty was gone, but Rong Di's power was still very strong, and Western Zhou was killed by Inuyasha.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhou Ren to be forced by Rong Di, and he still looks good on his face.
