Su Daji is a famous beauty in the history of our country, but according to the records, Su Daji is not surnamed Su, but surnamed da. In ancient times, she belonged to the Su tribe, and the ancient Su tribe was located in present-day Henan. I believe that everyone has heard about the marching methods of the King of Shang, in 1047 BC, the King of Shang attacked the Su tribe, and quickly won the war and occupied the tribe. In ancient times, the concept of tribe was equivalent to today's village, a group of people lived together, men and women weaved, so there were only some light weapons in the force, which was completely inferior to the well-trained professional army at that time.
Failure was a disgraceful thing, and in order to save the lives of the clan, the Su Shi tribe at that time not only paid tribute to many rare and exotic treasures to the King of Shangyi, but also gave Su Daji to the King of Sui. The woman who can represent the entire clan and serve the side of the King of Qiu is naturally superior in posture and unparalleled in beauty. The description of Dai Ji in the "Fengshen Yanyi" is not empty. However, the Shang Dynasty collapsed in 1046 BC, and at this time, Dai Ji had just entered the Shang Dynasty for one year, and her short life disappeared with this dynasty.
It was not until the early 20th century that experts discovered Su Daji's tomb in Henan, which revealed its true face, expert: we have wronged her for thousands of years. Since Su Daji was enshrined to the King of Shang at that time, he was naturally buried with the King of Shang. Next to the tomb of the King of Shang, there is the tomb of Su Daji. After investigation, the experts decided to enter the mausoleum, and they found that there were only more funerary items than ordinary people. There are usually records of the life of the tomb owner in the tomb, and after reading the turtle shell in the tomb, experts have not found any text that can indicate that Su Daji is a fox spirit that seduces the King of Shang.
According to a more in-depth study, experts were surprised to find that everyone had wronged themselves for thousands of years. At that time, when the King of Shang attacked the Su tribe, he was already more than 60 years old, and Su Daji at that time was just a 16-year-old girl, simple and pitiful, with no heart and no means. And the Su tribe, as the losing party, enshrined Su Daji to the Side of the King of Shang, who shouldered the life of the entire clan on her shoulders, so naturally she did not dare to make a mistake, but always lived cautiously and tremblingly by the side of the King of Shang. This image surprised everyone present, because it was completely different from our impression of Su Daji.
In novels, Su Daji is often called a fox spirit who charms the lord, and even cartoons are such an image. The charge of the demise of the Shang Dynasty was thus blamed on Su Daji, but this was not the case.
As for why Su Daji is compared to a fox spirit, it may be because the totem of the Su tribe is a nine-tailed fox. However, this is not the root cause, this rumor was spread by the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty. As a monarch who used force to conquer the world, the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty won the hearts and minds of the people was something he had always worried about, after all, water could carry boats and overturn boats. In order to keep his image from being dusted in the hearts of the people, he called the King of Shangxi tyrannical, and Daji was a red-faced and evil person, and he cursed the country. All this is nothing more than a means used by the emperor to hoodwink the people.
As for the characters created in novels and film and television works, most of them are processed and interpreted, and any book with the word "interpretation" after the title is actually a novel, and they are far from the truth of history, just in line with the general direction. As for the small events that occur in the character's personality, those are all fabricated by the author. As modern staunch materialists, we should not believe those myths. Ancient people, because their technology was not developed, liked to use the myth of ghosts to explain some phenomena that they could not understand. They longed for God to change their lives, which was one of the manifestations of the lack of social advancement at that time.
However, after a person's reputation has been passed on for thousands of years, it is difficult to change people's stereotypes. When it comes to fox spirits, the first name that comes to people's minds is still Su Daji. But now we know that a 16-year-old girl does not have the ability to confuse chao gang, and there is no fox spirit. After thousands of years, we can finally return her innocence.
