Has the red-faced Daji been wronged?
People who have seen the list of consecrated gods are no strangers to Su Daji's belief, and Su Daji is described as a very cruel demon girl in film and television dramas. Daji was the favorite concubine of King Shang, the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty in Chinese history, and had the daughter of the Su clan.
According to historical records, Yingxin Law has Su, Su Shi and Daji's daughter, which shows that Daji is the spoils of the king of Su Shi's crusade. When his father presented himself as a gift of cattle, sheep and sheep, Daji did not resist, but obediently came to the enemy's camp, which proved that Daji was a woman who understood righteousness and exchanged her shame for the survival of the entire tribe.
But such a woman who understands the overall situation and cares about the overall situation turned into an outrageous nine-tailed fox spirit in the novel's consecration of the gods. Until now, the word vixen seems to have completely obscured the true face of Daji. Can Daji Wang Zhaoyi's words withstand the scrutiny of history?
According to historical records, King Shang loved Daji, and Daji's words seem to be only to prove that King Shun died because he obeyed Daji's words. However, Daji came to Chaoge as a prisoner seeking peace, how could King Shang obey such a weak woman from a captive background? Some people may say that Daji completely relied on his beauty to confuse the king.
However, in the Shang Dynasty, people were superstitious about ghosts and gods, and all the administrative and daily affairs of the Shang royal family had to be divined to explore the will of ghosts and gods, and in such a superstitious dynasty, even King Shun could not fully control the situation. How can a weak woman like Daji control the overall situation?
But one thing has to be admitted, the people who wrote history in ancient times were all men, so it is easy for future generations to see those generous and tragic songs in the history books. People who are chasing the deer in the Central Plains to dominate the world, but it is difficult to understand a woman's sorrows, joys and hatreds, parting from life and death, or love and hate songs.
In fact, even the historical materials related to Shang Ren have few records in the dynasties in which he lived. What's more, the women around the emperor, the repeated interpretations of the descendants, made their derailment from their original faces more and more serious.
The limited records of these women in history books provide a huge space for future generations to interpret or fabricate out of thin air.
The influence of literature is often profound. For example, the novel's demonization of King Feng and Daji has profoundly affected their historical image, and even covered up their true face. As a famous fox spirit in Chinese history, Daji may feel aggrieved, and Dou'e's wrongs are still related to Han Qing to recruit snow for her. But I don't know when Su Daji will wear this fox spirit hat.
