The rise of the Qin people has taken a difficult road, injecting a strong part into Chinese culture.
The history books record that the Qin people were originally a branch of the Dongyi people. During the Shang Dynasty, in order to curb the Rise of the Zhou people in the west, the Shang King ordered the ancestors of the Qin people, a clan of Dongyi clans with the surname Ofe to move west of Longshan. When the Zhou Dynasty was established, the Qin people that this Shang king used to curb the Zhou people were unlucky, and they were reduced to tribal slaves by the King of Zhou and raised horses for the Zhou royal family.
In the period of King Xiao of Zhou, the Qin leader Feizi was particularly well-bred because of his horse breeding, and he was favored by the King of Zhou, and the Qin people were made vassals of the royal family. At this time, Qin was not yet a prince, or even a Qing Dafu, but this was the starting point of the Qin people after being attacked by the Zhou royal family for more than a hundred years. A few generations later, when he arrived at Yinqi, he was named the Doctor of Xi'an because of his bravery against Xi Rong.
Later, when King You of Zhou invaded and Western Zhou perished, Duke Xiang of Qin escorted King Ping to move east to Luoyi, and King Ping, grateful for the help of Duke Xiang of Qin, gave Xianggong the title of Qishan and Fufeng near Baoji to Xianggong, who made Xianggong a prince, and Xianggong was the first monarch of the Qin state. After 14 generations of hard work, the Qin people were promoted from weak slave tribes to princes.
The fiefdom given to Qin by the King of Zhou was occupied by the Rong people at that time. It is equivalent to the King of Zhou Ping issuing a blank check to the Qin people. Zhou Wang good means! The land was not under his rule, and it was bought and sold without any money. Whether the Qin people could take back that piece of land, The King of Zhou had nothing to lose.
In order to cash the empty cheque issued by the King of Zhou, Xianggong took his tribe and began to fight. Four years after the founding of Qin, Qin Xianggong led his clan through countless bloody battles, and finally could see Qishan in the distance. In the same year, Xiang Gongyi, the founding prince of the Qin State, died in battle. After more than twenty years of efforts by the Xianggong and Wengong generations, the Qin finally completely defeated the Rong people and regained the fiefdom.
This is one of the earliest military songs, "Poetry Classic, Qin Feng": "Don't you know that you have no clothes?" Robe with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have a vendetta against the Son! Are you shirtless? With the son of the same ze. Wang Yuxing, repair my spear, and work with my son! Are you shirtless? Dress with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armored soldiers, and go with my son."
After that, it is Jia Yi's "Treatise on Passing qin" that Qin Xiaogong according to the solidity of Kun Han, the land of Yongzhou, the monarch stubbornly adheres to the Observation of the Zhou Chamber, there is a sweeping world, Bao Ju Yunei, encompassing the meaning of the four seas, and swallowing the heart of the Eight Wastes. When it was time, Shang Junzuozhi, internal legislation, cultivation and weaving, repair of the armor of war, external balance and fight the princes. So the Qin people surrendered their hands and took the west river outside....
It is still quite touching to understand the rise of the Qin people. Last year, the Art Museum of Tsinghua University held a special exhibition of cultural relics of the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to see the determination of the Qin people to rise.
