Su Daji is a pivotal figure in the "Fengshen Yanyi", and her appearance finally guides the direction of history and the change of dynasties. In later generations, people often associated "Su Daji" with "fox spirit", and even many people attributed the demise of the Shang Dynasty to Su Daji, who, like Qiu Ji, was labeled as "subjugated" in the history of future generations. But what we know about Su Daji is only in the "Fengshen Yanyi", the real Su Daji in history must be unfamiliar to many people, let's take a look at whether Su Daji has the beauty of the city and is not worthy of the big hat of "subjugating the country".
The "Chinese Jin Language" records: "Yin Xin (King Of Sui) had Su, and there was a Su clan who was his own daughter. "At that time, the King of Sui raised an army to conquer the Su clan, and the Su clan was just a small princely state with a fox as a totem, and could not resist the shang dynasty's army at all. So they could only surrender and offer cattle and sheep, horses and beauties to show their submission, and Su Daji was one of them. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Shang Dynasty artifacts unearthed in Xiaotun Village, Anyang City, Henan Province, made us more realistic and more in-depth understanding of the Shang and Zhou culture, and can also specifically confirm the appearance of Su Daji and the King of Sui according to the description.
Regarding Su Daji's appearance, there are several descriptions: dark cloud hair, apricot face peach cheeks, eyebrows like spring mountains, eyes like autumn waves; breast augmentation and waist, hips and legs, like begonias, pear blossoms with rain. From these words, it can be seen that Su Daji is impeccable from her appearance to her stature, and as soon as the King of Qiu saw Su Daji, he was deeply infatuated with her and could not extricate himself. I don't know whether King Huan is in love with Su Daji, or simply infatuated with her, we can't verify this. However, what is certain is that the King of Lu is very obedient to her orders, and he tries to meet her requirements as much as possible.
Because of Su Daji's words, the king once increased the taxes of the people of the whole country, and sent people everywhere to collect the treasures of the world and use them to build a luxurious deer platform. In order to have fun with Su Daji, a wine pond meat forest was built so that people could play naked and sing night after night. Since Su Daji's arrival, the King of Sui has become more and more careless about state affairs, and he has been perfunctory about the disaster situation in various places, and is not willing to delay for too long. However, according to historical records, the King of Qiu at that time was almost 70 years old, and at that age, he was probably more than enough and insufficient.
In fact, king Huan was still a Ming Emperor at the beginning. When he first succeeded to the throne, he vigorously developed agricultural production, expanded commerce, and sent troops to level the disobedient countries around him, so that the economy of the Shang Dynasty prospered. The reason why words such as "red face disaster water" and "hero sad beauty guan" appear in later generations are mostly the products of male society. They put all the merits and demerits on the women, and su everyone naturally became the "fox spirit" who harmed the country and the people.
Nowadays, the appearance of Su Daji has been described by experts in ancient books and the records on the excavated cultural relics, and the true appearance of Su Daji has been successfully restored. After seeing her true appearance, people have understood why Yang Yuhuan is so popular, because in ancient times, not only was the aesthetic different, but even the beautiful women produced very few. After everyone saw the real appearance of Su Daji, what did they want to say?
