Xia Shang and Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou were divided into two sections.
How is the Western Zhou and the Eastern Zhou distinguished? This starts with a story that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Concubine Zhao was the main palace of King Zhou You, and although she had the special favor of King You, she never showed a smile. King Zhou You wanted to make her happy, so he summoned musicians to play bells and drums, flutes and other musical instruments, and the palace maids sang and danced, holding wine glasses to toast the concubine, but she was still unmoved.
The Ghost King asked, "Why don't you laugh?" Concubine Zhao replied, "I've never laughed in my life." The Ghost King said, "I have to make you smile." So he issued an order: "Whether inside or outside the palace, as long as you can make the concubine smile happily, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold." ”
Guo Shi's father offered a plan: "In order to prevent the invasion of Xijong, the first king built more than 20 beacon towers and dozens of drums under Lishan Mountain, and as long as there were thieves invading, they would release wolf smoke, and the smoke would soar into the sky, and the nearby princes would send troops to rescue them, and beat the drums to urge them to come." But now that the world is peaceful, the beacon has been extinguished. If His Majesty wants to make the queen smile happily, he must go to Lishan with her and set off a beacon at night. In this way, the princes will come to the aid, but there is no real thief invading, and the concubine will inevitably laugh. The Ghost King said, "That's a good idea! So he rode with Concubine Zhao to Lishan to play, and in the evening he held a banquet in Lishan Palace, and ordered the fire to be lit.
The princes of Kinai wondered what had happened to Hokyo and led the troops one after another
General, rushed to Lishan Mountain overnight, but only heard the sound of orchestras in the pavilion. The ghost king and the concubine were drinking and having fun upstairs, and people thanked the princes, saying that fortunately there were no foreign enemies invading, and there was no need to bother them to come. The princes looked at each other, put away their flags and left. Concubine Zhao saw the princes coming and going busily upstairs, but nothing happened, and she couldn't help laughing.
The Ghost King said: "Your smile can make a hundred charms come to life, this is Father Yu Shi."
of credit. So he gave the concubine a thousand gold.
So far, the saying "a thousand dollars buy laughter" originated from this matter.
There are also poems that chant the story of "beacon play princes".
