Mention Su Daji, people's minds come up with a beauty who is "as beautiful as a peach blossom, charming and moving, beautiful and colorful". It is said that she is a thousand-year-old fox who transforms into an adult, and at the behest of the lady of the woman, seduces the king of Shang, indulges in female lust, mutilates Zhongliang, and destroys the foundation of the king of Shang. For example, under the deception of Su Daji, the King of Shang killed many loyalists, including Bigan, and forced Huang Feihu and other loyalists to defect to Western Zhou to help Western Zhou destroy the Shang Dynasty.
The Shang Dynasty is more than 3600 years away from now, and the historical age is too long, so there are very few historical books left behind. This makes it difficult for us to understand the real history of the Shang Dynasty, and most of the history of the Shang Dynasty today comes from Sima Qian's historical records and folk fengshen yanyi, and the image of Su Daji in these two works is the image of the country and the people, which also makes Su Daji a red face and disaster water that has been left behind for thousands of years.
In the historical records, Su Daji is not so vicious, she is only a victim of political means, and the time recorded in the epitaph is also very critical, the time when the King of Sui got Su Daji was 1047 BC, and the time of the fall of the Shang Dynasty was 1046 BC, that is to say, Su Daji entered the palace for only one year, the Shang Dynasty perished, su Daji and a female streamer have the ability to destroy a dynasty that has been established for hundreds of years in one year?
In fact, the truth of the demise of the Shang Dynasty is that when the King of Shang was young, he fought everywhere, and made many enemies, and the King of Ji had long been jealous of Ji Chang, and imprisoned Ji Chang, and finally Ji Chang's eldest son Bo Yikao saved his father Ji Chang by sacrificing himself, in fact, the contradiction between Shang and Zhou was a long time, and it was not a matter that Su Daji could influence at all, if Su Daji had any sins, it might be that her appearance was too beautiful to make it difficult for King Ji to sustain herself.
At the beginning of this century, the archaeological team found an ancient tomb of the Shang Dynasty in Henan, and after preliminary exploration, experts were surprised to find that it was the tomb of Su Daji! And the content of the epitaph has subverted people's views on Su Daji for thousands of years!
According to the epitaph, the original name of the King of Sui was "Di Xin", Kong Wu was powerful, fond of war, and after ascending the throne, he went around fighting, Su Daji was his most proud "battle result", according to the epitaph: "In 1047 BC, Di Xin launched a large army to attack the Su tribe. Some Su tribes could not resist the attack of powerful merchant armies, and between destruction and bending their knees, some Su tribal leaders chose to bend their knees and sacrifice cattle and sheep, horses, and beautiful women to themselves."
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou tribe was still loyal to the King of Sui, at this time Xi Bohou was still serving as an official in the imperial court, due to the power struggle in the court, Xi Bohou was convicted, was put under house arrest by the King of Sui, and eventually died of hunger strike. At this point, the Zhou tribe and the Shang Dynasty formed a contradiction. After the death of Xi Bohou, his successor Ji Chang began to exert great efforts to govern and implement benevolent government, and the strength of the Zhou tribe increased greatly, and it was supported by the surrounding tribes. Later, the Zhou tribe, together with the rest of the tribes, launched a war against the Shang Dynasty, and eventually destroyed the Shang Dynasty.
It can be seen from this that Su Daji is not as unbearable as people say in the mouth, her behavior can even be comparable to Princess Wencheng and other people such as Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, and she can be called a great righteous and awe-inspiring female Haojie.
