In the winter of 1975, the people of Xiaotun Village (Anyang City, Henan Province) were ready to push the hill above the surrounding farmland in the northwest to be used as new farmland, and the staff of the local archaeological research institute heard the news and immediately rushed to the scene to block the villagers, because the tomb of The Military Officer Village had been excavated here, so experts speculated that there were other Yin ruins buried under the Xiaotun Village.
Soon, the expert team obtained excavation permits and successfully excavated an ancient tomb from more than 3,000 years ago, just when the archaeologists cheered and prepared to confirm the identity of the owner of the tomb, they were stopped by her funerary products, and she was suddenly chilled, she was a famous female general and woman.
Woman Hao, surnamed Zi, was the queen consort of Wu Ding, the 23rd king of the Shang Dynasty. "Woman" was the honorific title for women at that time, and wuhao was the first female military commander and outstanding female politician in Chinese history, under her leadership, the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty defeated more than 20 countries around them in one go, and the women became famous in the first battle, and since then Wu Ding has looked at it with admiration, and even handed over one-tenth of the country's army to her.
After gaining the right to fight, Nühao worked harder and harder to learn the art of war and constantly improve her own ability, and then began to conquer the four sides, and won victories in the battles of the Turkish, Pakistani, and Yifang states, especially in the battle with the Pakistani side, according to the battlefield situation, the woman skillfully set up an ambush, first cut off the back road of the Pakistani army, and then immediately led the troops to attack from the front, hitting the other side continuously retreating, and this retreat, and then just fell into the ambush set up in advance by the woman, thus winning a complete victory. The female generals are funny and proud of the battlefield and have won the respect of everyone.
If you have such a wife, why should your husband ask for it? With the help of the woman, the pressure on Wu Ding's shoulders suddenly decreased, of course, he did not relax, and went out with his wife dozens of times, recovered the rebellious princes, and revived the prestige of the Shang Dynasty, and with the joint efforts of the two, the Shang Dynasty achieved unprecedented development.
Therefore, for women good, Wu Ding is very pampered, this can be reflected in the oracle bones, in the current Yin Ruins unearthed more than 1,000 pieces of oracle bones, just mention "women good", more than 200 pieces, although most of them are trivial matters, such as a certain month of a certain year, a certain day, the woman good sneezed, Wu Ding worried that she had a cold (women sneeze, but sick? For example, on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, the woman went out on a campaign, and the Wuding of the family immediately asked Bu, looking forward to her safe return (is the woman good to die?). It can be seen that the husband and wife have deep feelings.
However, it is a pity that when the woman was 33 years old, she unfortunately contracted an illness and left this world, and Wu Ding was suddenly devastated, washing his face with tears, because he could not give up his wife, Wu Ding did not even bury her in the tomb area, but buried her next to the palace, so that he could get closer to him. And after the death of the woman, Wu Ding still worried about her, often asking the fortune teller how she was doing "over there" (is the woman good to marry?). ）。
Since he is so fond of women, Wu Ding naturally wants to give her the best things in the world, so a large number of precious cultural relics have been unearthed in the tomb of Women's Good, a total of 1928 funerary items, including as many as 590 pieces of jade, more than 440 pieces of bronze, more than 560 pieces of bone tools, in addition to ivory, pottery, stone tools, etc., all of which are exquisitely made.
One of the most eye-catching is a pair of "giant axes", in ancient times, it was called "cymbals", of which the "dragon pattern large copper cymbal" weighed 8.5 kg, and the other "tiger striped copper cymbal" weighed 9 kg, which is a symbol of women's good status and power, and from the weight of this pair of "giant axes", women have superior arm strength.
However, unfortunately, because the bottom of the tomb has been soaked in groundwater for many years, the bones of the woman's good body have disappeared, but around her coffin, she found a burial that made the experts shudder - only to see the tomb roof, niches, rafters and other places, distributed 16 human bones, their posture is strange, presumably the death is extremely tragic, at the same time, there are 6 martyred dogs, the same posture is strange, and the meaning of its existence is still unknown.
