[Summary: Taibo is the ancestor of the Wu nation, also known as the "Three King", he not only plays an important role in Wu culture, but also plays a very important position in the history and culture of the Han nation. So what is the "Tabernacle Giving the Throne"? Which three lets are these three? 】
Temple of Tabor
In the last years of the Yin Shang Dynasty, the Zhou tribe lived in the area of present-day Qishan in Shaanxi, and its leader Gu Gonggong had three sons, the eldest son was called Taibo (also called Taibo), the second son Zhongyonghe and the younger son Ji Li, and the three were brothers.
Old Father
Although Ji Li is the younger son, he is deeply loved by his father. More importantly, he had a son named Ji Chang.
What's even more wonderful is that when this Ji Chang was born, in the light of the sky, a red bird (Suzaku) held a "Book of Heaven", telling everyone that the Zhou tribe was about to rise!
Therefore, Gu Gong's father always wanted to pass on his position as the leader to this newborn grandson.
First, let go, this is Tabor's first let.
When TaiBo learned that his father, Gu Gong, intended to pass the position of leader of the Zhou tribe to his younger brother Ji Chang, the son of Ji Li, he thought about it repeatedly in his heart.
What was he thinking? The idea is to give up your first place.
Tabor statue
Because according to the inheritance and inheritance relationship between Yin Shang and the Zhou tribe, it is the long heir, and the taibo is the long and concubine, which is naturally the first heir of the chief position.
In order not to embarrass his father, Taibo led his second brother Zhongyong to leave Qishan mountain under the pretext of collecting medicine when his father was ill and came to Wushan Near Long County, more than 200 miles to the west.
Why did Taibo take away his second brother Zhongyong? Because Zhongyong is the heir of the second in line, it is not okay not to take it away, that is still the leader's turn can not reach the old three seasons calendar.
Statue of Zhongyong
Here Taibo and Zhongyong entered Wushan without returning, and the seasonal calendar over there was soon changed to "prince" by Gu Gong's father, the heir.
This is Tabor's first concession, also called "sheng one let".
Second, let die, this is Tabor's second let go.
Didn't the above say that Gu Gong's father was ill, so soon after, Gu Gong's father really died.
The Zhou tribe is a tribe that talks about filial piety, which is also the core content of the "Zhou Li" summarized by Confucius.
His father died, and Taibo and Zhongyong, who put filial piety first, said that they had to rush back to the funeral, otherwise there would be no way to write this history.
So the story comes again: Ji Li obeyed the "will" of the father of the ancient gonggong to return the throne to Tabor, who refused to resign.
This is interesting, why pay it back? Naturally, Ji Li felt that he should not be the leader, but why did the Ji Li become the leader that he thought he should not be?
Since they have all been done, they still have to give way again, so why should they do more in the first place? Studying history can sometimes be a real headache.
Of course, Tabor avoided it several times (according to the historical routine, it is generally three or five times), but the seasonal calendar still insisted on taiberang.
Taibo then had to take his younger brother Zhongyong and the tribesmen who had already left for Western Wu to move south to Meili in Meicun Town, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province (there was no such thing as Wuxi at that time).
In the plum blossoms of Wuxi Meili, Taibo and Zhongyong also resolutely cut off their hair tattoos to show that they would never be Zhou Jun.
Taibo's behavior touched the heavens and the earth and touched the local people, and everyone admired his virtue and righteousness to "return to more than a thousand homes of those who followed", and embraced Taibo as king, and the name of the country was Wu.
This is the second let, also called "death one let".
Seasonal calendar image
It is said that ji li also chased all the way to the place in front of Wuxi, and really could not find Tabor, so he returned to Weiyuan disappointedly, and then helplessly inherited the throne again.
On the riverside of the south square of today's Wuxi Railway Station, there are also poems on the poetry tablets written by the season calendar in Wuxi; the square in Wuxi is also named because the seasonal calendar was laid down here and the archway built for him by the later generations, but the archway is no longer known.
Third, let it go again, this is Tabor's third let.
Around 1193 BC, when he was the season calendar of The Zhou Jun, he was inexplicably killed by Wen Ding, the 29th Shang King of the Yin Dynasty!
Therefore, Ji Chang, the son of Ji Li, should inherit the throne of Zhou Jun.
But Ji Chang is a big filial piety, he thought, he still has two uncles, our Zhou Dynasty (tribe) is a place that talks about "etiquette", "righteousness", "loyalty" and "filial piety", if I don't ask the two uncles to come back, how should I write the history after this, what image should I Ji Chang be?
So Ji Chang sent someone to Wuxi, thousands of miles away, to ask Taibo to return to the Central Plains to succeed to the throne.
Also strange, ji li could not find Tabor and Zhongyong, why could Ji Chang send someone to find them?
As a result, naturally everyone wanted to get it, and Taibo once again refused to go back, and deeply blessed his nephew Ji Chang to lead the Zhou tribe to prosperity.
This is the third concession, which is also called "another concession" in history.
King Wen of Zhou
The behavioral virtues of Taibo's "three concessions to the throne" deeply touched Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Confucius raised the behavior of Taibosan giving up the throne to the height of Taibo and Zhongyong's great "benevolent filial piety" thought and generous character.
Therefore, Confucius wrote in the first chapter of the Eighth Chapter of the Analects of Tabor: "The Son: 'Tiber, it can be said that the supreme virtue is also complete. Three, the world gives way, and the people have nothing to gain. ’”
In the Han Dynasty, a man named Sima Qian, in his "Records of History", listed the biography of Taibo as the "first in the family", and ranked ahead of the imperial families in history.
Descendants of the Wu clan built countless Wu ancestral halls, preaching the "three jeans" of the clan and the "first of the family", the pride was bursting, and the inheritance of thousands of generations inspired the descendants of their clan.
In the middle is Tabor
[Summary: Tabor is really great, you see that the child now does not even give up a pear, but he has given up the throne that countless people dream of three times. 】
