For the name Di Xin, many friends must feel unfamiliar, but if you say another name, everyone should have heard of it, that is, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, "King Xu".
The difference is that King Su is another name for Di Xin, and Di Xin's real name is Shoude, and the title of "King of Zhou" was added to him by the Zhou people.
His name has left a strong mark on history. He was not known for his gentleness, benevolence and generosity, but for his eloquence and determination. In his time, the Shang Dynasty reached its peak, with a vast territory and a strong national power. Emperor Xin ruled the country with iron and blood, dared to challenge the power of heaven, feared ghosts and gods, and raised human rights to unprecedented heights.
However, since Di Xin, the emperors in Chinese history seem to have lost their domineering and courage. They may be good at governing the country, or they may be good at strategy, but when facing the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods, they often seem cautious and dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool. This change is not so much the change of the times as the sinking of people's hearts. In the face of the temptation of power, people gradually forgot the dignity and responsibility of the human emperor, and turned themselves into slaves of the mandate of heaven, rather than the masters of heaven and earth.
Therefore, we can say that there is no emperor after Di Xin. Not because the latecomers are incompetent, but because they have lost the courage and belief in daring to challenge the world and dominate their destiny in the depths of their hearts. Although Di Xin died, his spirit lives on in the long river of history, reminding future generations not to forget their original intentions.
