At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the King of Shang yi fainted, and the nine-tailed demon fox possessed Su Daji, confusing the king of Shang and assisting king Wu of Zhou. Do these few words sound particularly familiar? This is the truth of the demise of the Shang Dynasty that has been said in the past. However, in fact, is Su Daji really a demon of the evil country? In Henan, there are tombs of King Shang and Su Daji, can the cultural relics in these tombs prove the true image of Su Daji? Welcome to like the comment collection.
Stills of The King of Gong and Dai Ji
Ancient tomb in a small village in Henan
at
Qi County, Hebi City, Henan Province
Near the bank of the Qihe River, there is a tall tomb, from the appearance, this tomb is an earthen mound, 50 meters long, 15 meters wide, 7 meters high, magnificent. Who is buried in this magnificent tomb? Combined with the legends of recent years and the records in the history books, archaeologists have concluded that
This tomb is supposed to be the tomb of the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, King Shang, and in front of it stands a tombstone with the inscription "Tomb of the King of Shang".
Some people may suspect that the Shang Dynasty still used oracle bones, but this tombstone uses modern characters, will this tomb be fake?
In fact, this tombstone was re-established in 1987, and the previous tombstone was broken for some special reasons, while the previous tombstone used a seal book. The seal book actually contains oracle bones, and combined with the chronology, this tomb is likely to be the King of Shang
。
Tombstone of the King of Shang
Just about 500 meters behind the tomb of the King of Shang, there are two earthen mounds, the size of which of course cannot be compared with the tomb of the King of Shang, but it is worth noting that
These two mounds, one belonged to Queen Jiang and one to Su Daji
。 Since the ancient tomb of the Shang King really exists, then the tombs of Queen Jiang and Su Daji also exist.
Then there is a very contradictory statement here, according to ancient myths and legends, Su Daji was transformed by the nine-tailed demon fox, confusing the king of Lu, causing the king to drink and enjoy all day long, and abandoning the government. Queen Jiang, as the mother of a country, saw that King Yin was indulging in pleasure, so she gave advice and advice, and was framed to death by Dai Ji, and before Queen Jiang died, she told her two sons Yin Jiao and Yin Hong to help her avenge herself.
Then there is a blood feud between Queen Jiang and Su Daji, how can Queen Jiang's descendants bury the two together?
Tomb of Queen Ginger
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, archaeologists were in the family
Xiaotun Village, Anyang, Henan
, also unearthed to shock the world
Yin Ruins.
In the Yin Ruins, many tortoiseshell bones appeared, and the text content on the tortoiseshell bones was called
"Confession"
, the literal form is called
Oracle
。 These tortoiseshell bones are numerous and cover almost every emperor of the Shang Dynasty during their reign.
From these oracle bones, you can gradually glimpse the true image of Su Daji. In fact, Su Daji may not be the legendary demon of the evil country, and the King of Shangyi is not the legendary last monarch, so what does the real Su Daji and the King of Shangyi look like?
According to legend, Su Daji was the enemy of Queen Jiang, and how could Queen Jiang's descendants bury their mother with her greatest enemy in her lifetime? Can the oracle bones unearthed in the Yin Ruins reveal the true image of Su Daji?
Is Su Daji a demon concubine?
Now in most film and television dramas, the image of Su Daji is rooted in the novels of the Ming Dynasty
"The Evolution of the Gods"
。 Who is the author of "The Evolution of the Gods"? He lived during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli Dynasty
Chen Zhonglin
That is, at this time,
It has been more than 2600 years since the Shang Dynasty
。 In addition, when Chen Zhonglin wrote this "Fengshen Yanyi", it showed that this is a novel rather than a history book, in order to enhance the readability of the novel, Chen Zhonglin is likely to exaggerate some plots.
Imagine if the King of Shangyi in the novel is a Ming Jun, and Dai Ji is a concubine of the motherly world, and finally died of civil unrest, what else is there to see in this novel?
List of gods Stills
As for the true identity of Dai Ji, first of all, it can be affirmed that she is definitely not changed by the Nine-tailed Demon Fox as stated in the "Fengshen Yanyi", so is the historical Daji really an ambitious politician who confuses the King of Lu to achieve his political goals?
In fact, it is also a fallacy to refer to Su Daji as Su Daji.
In fact, Su Daji's surname is 己, the name Dada. The reason why she was given the surname of Su was because she was a woman of the Su tribe
"Chinese Jinyu"
It has been recorded that during the reign of King Shang, he greatly expanded his territory and once attacked the Su tribe. The Su tribe was very small, and it was natural to be defeated quickly in the face of the Shang army.
General of the Shang Dynasty
In fact, the main purpose of the Shang King's expansion of territory was not to destroy other tribes, but to make other tribes subservient, and only the tribes that resisted to the end would be flattened by the Shang army.
After the great defeat of the Shang army, the leader of the Su tribe chose to contribute cattle and sheep, horses and the most beautiful local women to the Shang Dynasty
。 That is to say, this person should be a dai girl with a surname of su tribe.
However, there are different controversies about the time when Dai Ji was dedicated to the King of Gong. For example, in
Bamboo Book Chronicle
In the middle, it is recorded that in the 9th year of the Shang Dynasty, there was a Su clan who offered himself;
Century of Kings
It is recorded that in the 2nd year of the Shang Dynasty, Na Da himself was his wife.
Shang Yi Wang Daji Stills
There is also a theory that the shang dynasty fell in 1047 BC, and the time when Dai Ji was dedicated to the king of The Shang Dynasty was 1046 BC, and the time when Dai Ji entered the palace of the Shang Dynasty was only 16 years old, and the king of the Shang Dynasty was close to 50 years old at that time.
Therefore, on the whole, there is not much time for Dai Ji to confuse and co-opt the King of Shang, and compared with the King of Shang, Dai Ji is too immature and it is difficult to shake the King of Shang.
So in fact, the real Dai Ji is probably not a demon concubine, but a very tragic and pro-instrument, although the King of Shang May have spoiled her because of his beauty, but Daji may not be so happy.
Shang Yi Wang Stills
So how did the image of Dai Ji evolve all the way to become a "demon concubine"? In addition to the influence of the novel "Fengshen Yanyi", there is also a very confusing record. That is the image of the King of Shang described in the novel, much like the image of Xia Jie, the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty.
For example, Xia Jie spoiled his sister Xi, and the King of ShangYi loved Dai Ji; Xia Jie built Yaotai to please his sister, and the King of Shang Built Lutai for Dai Ji; Xia Jie used the punishment of cannon burning to kill the loyal minister Guan Longfeng, and the King of Shang Yi used the torture of digging his heart to kill Bigan.
Although there have always been various similar reasons for the destruction of the emperors in history, is it really a coincidence that the similarity has reached this level?
King Shang Yi Daji
The image of Dai Himself has long been subverted in the analysis of archaeologists
。 She is not a demon, nor is she an ambitious politician. So since the King of Shang did not do government affairs because he favored him, how did the Shang Dynasty perish? In the analysis of the oracle bones, archaeologists also realized that the destruction of the country by the King of Shangyi was likely to have no half-cent relationship with Dai Ji.
The true King of Shang
The demise of the mall was marked by the defeat at the Battle of Makino. The Battle of Makino was a great battle in which King Wu of Zhou conquered King Shang, and before the war began, King Wu of Zhou once wrote a poem against King Shang, which listed the crimes of King Shang.
Historia
These charges have been recorded:
"Now the yin king Andui woman's words are used, abandoning her ancestors and not answering, abandoning her home country, leaving her king's parents and brothers unused, and the many sins of the four sides of the Wei dynasty are revered and long, and the messenger is messenger, and the tyranny of the people is abused by the people, and the adultery is used in the Shang kingdom."
Battle of Makino
Translating this sentence into the vernacular, it probably means that the king of Shang only listened to the words of women, did not work hard enough on the sacrifice, abandoned his country, did not make good use of his close subjects, but trusted criminals and slaves, which had a very bad impact on the Shang Dynasty. In short, the King of Shang was an unforgiving emperor. It seems that the Shang Dynasty fell, and indeed deserved it.
However, in the oracle bones excavated from the Yin Ruins, there was a more objective description of the behavior of the King of Shang, and the original text of the oracle bones was,
"癸酉布, 贞, 多妣 offers small ministers thirty, little concubines thirty in brooms."
King Wuding of the Shang Dynasty
Translated into the vernacular, it probably means that in the year of the Decameron, the Shang Dynasty performed several divinations, and then conquered the Western Lands, and in the conquest, the Shang Dynasty captured a number of prisoners of war
"Little Minister Thirty"
、
"Concubine Thirty"
。 According to the system of martyrdom in the Shang Dynasty, these prisoners of war were supposed to be killed to sacrifice to the heavens, but the king of Sui changed it and organized them to dance, replacing the original living sacrifice.
From a modern point of view, this Shang King is undoubtedly an emperor with very humanistic and human rights ideas. In fact, in the oracle bones recorded as "ren" known
And Wu Ding's wife
Hello women
These are called the great heroes of the Shang Dynasty,
But the woman killed 500 prisoners, and killed them without even blinking an eye
。 During the reign of king Shang, the number of martyrs recorded in the oracle bones was only a few dozen, which was quite benevolent compared to other monarchs of the Shang Dynasty.
King of Shang
After analyzing all the historical materials, archaeologists believe that the king of Shang is different, which is the main reason why the Shang was destroyed. The composition of a country is not so simple, although the King of Shang is a monarch, he cannot cover the sky with his hands.
Instead of reusing his vassals, the King of Shang reused some people of very low status, which had already offended the interests of various nobles.
The word "纣" of the King of Shangsu represents a very tyrannical word, and this word was actually imposed on the King of Shangxi by Zhou Chao after the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, and his real name should be called
Dissin
。 Although Di Xin was keen on reform, his political ideology was obviously not mature enough, and the pace of reform was too large, involving the interests of too many nobles, leading to the rebellion of the nobles and the destruction of the Shang Dynasty together with The Western Zhou.
If the Zhou Dynasty destroyed a Ming Emperor, it would certainly be spurned by the people, and in order to erase the truth, the King of Shang could only be described as a faint and incompetent person. So faint incompetent people, the most typical behavior, naturally is to favor women. Dai Ji Pingbai was known as the "Red Face Disaster Water", and Di Xin also became a representative of fainting.
