There are some records in the ancient books of the Ghost Fang Kingdom, which was an ethnic minority tribe living in the northwest region of China during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and there are two views on the geographical location of the Ghost Fang in history, which originates from the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" in "Wu Ding Thirty-two Years of Cutting the Ghost Fang, second to Jing", which caused different interpretations of this Jing character.
Some say that Jing refers to Jingshan in Nanzhang County, Hubei Province, and some say that this refers to Jingshan in Shaanxi, so the two sides have debated for hundreds of years, and in May 1983, archaeologists confirmed that the site of Lijiaya in Qingjian County, Shaanxi Province, was the capital of the Shang Dynasty, and the debate ended.
The geographical location of the ghost side can be confirmed, why is it called the ghost side? This is because this nation has a very strange mask in real life, and the idol worship of the ghost party clan is the skeleton idol, both of which give people the impression of a vicious face and a fierce image, so it is called the ghost side.
The geographical location of the ghost fang is roughly in the inner Mongolia generation of today's Shanxi, Shaanxi, where the climate and geographical conditions are not suitable for grazing, so the ghost fang is not a complete nomadic people, but a relatively developed ethnic group in hunting and agriculture.
At that time, the climatic conditions were different from now, especially in the southern part of Shanxi, where forests were dense and wild animals inhabited the forest, so it provided superior natural conditions for the development of agriculture and hunting in the ghost side, and in such an environment, the productivity level of the ghost side people was not low, so the "I Ching" recorded: "Gaozong cut the ghost side, three years to kezhi." This means that Emperor Gaozong of the Shang Dynasty was Wu Ding, who conquered the ghost side and took three years to achieve victory.
There is a very interesting story about Wu Ding, saying that after Wu Ding succeeded to the throne, he was determined to revitalize the Shang Dynasty, but he felt that he was very depressed without the assistance of the sages around him, so he did not speak for three years and handed over all the political affairs to Tsukasa. He had a dream that night, and he had a dream about an immortal named "Speaking", and he took to heart the physical characteristics of this person.
After waking up from the dream, he carefully observed the minister of culture and military affairs under his command, and there was no one like him, so he ordered a search for this person, and it turned out that he really found that in a place called Fu Jian, this person named Fu Jian was serving his sentence - building a road, so the official brought the prisoner to Wu Ding.
As soon as Wu Ding talked to him, he found that this man was a saint, so he made him the prime minister, and this person assisted Wu Ding in governing the Shang Dynasty very well, because he was found by Fu Yin, so he was also called Fu Said. This incident shows that Wu Ding was thirsty for sages, thought about the night, and found Xian Xiang in his dreams.
At that time, the Shang Dynasty was a unified slave-owning autocratic regime, with strong organizational skills and relatively strong combat effectiveness of the army. According to historical records, the size of the Shang Dynasty's army to fight was generally 3,000 to 5,000 people. This conquest of the ghost side took three years, during which it is certain that the loss of troops will be inevitable, and it is also certain that there will be troops to support it in the future, so the size of the army dispatched by the Shang Dynasty this time must be much larger than the previous scale of 3,000 to 5,000, which also proves the strong strength of the ghost side.
After the ghost side was defeated this time, their way out was nothing more than three, one was to go far away, the second was to hide, and the third was to migrate. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the ghost side also underwent internal differentiation, some of them submitted to the Shang Dynasty, and after the Zhou Dynasty replaced the Shang Dynasty, this part of the ghost fang people submitted to the Zhou Dynasty, of which the "Nine Sects of huai surname" were sealed to the Jin State, but most of the ghost fang people migrated.
According to the conclusions of archaeological excavations in China, the former Soviet Union and Mongolia since 2000, the ghost party migrated to south Siberia from Lake Baikal in the east to Lake Balkhash in the west. White people in Europe have the legend of the Amazon female warrior, and the culture with the deer as a totem continued to Germany, which also pointed out a path for future research.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, they were called ChiDi, and later known as Ding Zero, and during the Two Han Dynasties, they migrated to the Mongolian plateau, known in history as Di Li. The scholar Wang Guowei at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China believes that the ghost fang is the ancestor of the foxes, rong, di, and Xiongnu.
