Text: A little history
Edit|Xiao Xu History
In the vast history of antiquity, there have always been some women, who are not only known for their outstanding political wisdom and military talents, but also for their indomitable spirit to become models of the times. Among them, the woman of the Shang Dynasty is such an admirable woman. She was not only the beloved wife of Shang King Wuding, but also an outstanding female general and high priest in the history of the Shang Dynasty.
Nu Hao, formerly known as Yan Xin, was called Nu Hao because she married Shang King Wu Ding. She was originally a woman from the surrounding tribes of the Shang Dynasty, and she stepped into the royal palace of the Shang Dynasty because of a political marriage. However, she did not stop at the prosperity and comfort of the harem, but left a deep mark in the political and military fields with her extraordinary intelligence and courage.
As a high priest, Nuhao presided over many important sacrificial activities of the Shang Dynasty. She was one of the few intellectuals at the time who could not only read the ritual texts aloud but also write and engrave oracle bone characters. Her appearance made an important contribution to the political stability and cultural inheritance of the Shang Dynasty.
However, the legend of the woman is much more than that. She was also an outstanding military strategist, who led troops to many expeditions and made great contributions to the stability and development of the Shang Dynasty. According to the oracle bone inscriptions, the woman had carried out a crusade against the Pakistani side, the Turkish side and other countries, and strategized in the war, and won many major victories. Her military talent not only won the appreciation of Wu Ding, but also made future generations admire her bravery and wisdom.
The relationship between the woman and Wu Ding is also a good story. Although Wu Ding married more than 60 women in his life, the woman was his favorite wife. Wu Ding's respect and care for women is not only reflected in life, but also fully reflected in the records of oracle bone inscriptions. He often divined the woman's safety and health, praying for her safety and well-being.
However, what is puzzling is that after the death of the woman, she has been rumored to be "remarried" many times. This statement originates from some artifacts unearthed from the tomb of the woman. In the tomb of the woman, many bronzes and weapons were found, among which there were many bronze medals engraved with the words "women's good". These artifacts have led to speculation that the woman may have "remarried" to another person or god in some form after her death.
However, this statement actually stems from ancient beliefs and interpretations of the afterlife. In ancient times, death was not the end, but the beginning of another life. Therefore, they believe that after death, people will enter another world and continue to live. The cultural relics in the tomb of the woman may be the good wishes and imagination of the ancients for the life of the woman after her death.
In short, as a female general and high priest of the Shang Dynasty, Nuhao became a model for women in ancient times with her outstanding political wisdom and military talents. Her story not only allows us to see the strength and wisdom of ancient women, but also gives us a deeper understanding and understanding of ancient culture. The mystery of "remarriage" after the death of the woman reveals to us the unique understanding and thinking of ancient people on death and life.
