The First Emperor of the Ages - Qin Shi Huang (75)

Qi Mountain in Li County was called Qi Mountain in ancient times, and it was called Qi Mountain after worshipping the White Emperor in Xichou

The Qin Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty of Qi (Qi) and Feng were in Longnan. The Qin people lived in Longnan and arose, founded the country, and worshiped their ancestors in Longnan. Lixian Dabaozi Mountain (Qishan, Qishan) Qin Gong Cemetery is located in Dabaozi Mountain, 12 kilometers east of Lixian County. In the early 90s of the 20th century, four large-scale Qin cemeteries began to be excavated, and the unearthed cultural relics are unique in the country and famous at home and abroad. Among them, there are more than 300 pieces of national first-class cultural relics, and the experts have preliminarily identified the mausoleum of Qin Zhong, Zhuang Gong or Xianggong after the analysis and study of the unearthed cultural relics, and established the status of this cemetery as the first cemetery of Qin - Xitui Cemetery. The excavation of the Qin Cemetery has solved the two thousand-year-old mysteries of "Xitui Cemetery" and "Birthplace of the Qin People", and also confirmed the accuracy of the records of the "Historical Records", which has caused a huge sensation in the historical and archaeological circles. Mr. Li Xueqin, an expert of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties engineering expert group, pointed out that "Lixian is the birthplace of the Qin people, and it has a great relationship with ancient Chinese history and culture...... It is helpful to the process of archaeological and historical research", Cao Wei, deputy director of the Shaanxi Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, said: "There are two major discoveries in the archaeology of cultural relics in Gansu in this century, one is the Dunhuang Zangjing Cave, and the other is the Qin Cemetery in Dabaozi Mountain, Lixian County."

Explanation 1, the Qin people lived in Xirong and Baoxitui. Second, the Qin people and Shenhou (Zhou Guo's uncle and Jiang Rong lived in Zhou's ancestral land of thousands of acres) were close and married for generations. 3. Xirong is against the royal family and exterminates the clan of Dog Hill and Daluo. Fourth, make Vasilon and break it. So after reverting to Qin Zhong, he and his first big Luodi dog mound were also there, and they were doctors in the west. Fourth, Xirong is the ancestral land of the Zhou Dynasty. "Historical Records of Zhou Benji" records: King Xuan went to cultivate the field of Jiè (borrowing) less than 1,000 acres, which was a field for the Son of Heaven to take the lead in personally plowing to show his importance to farming. In the thirty-ninth year (789 BC), a battle was fought in Qianmu, and King Xuan's army was defeated by Jiang Rong.

In the seventh year of the reign of Qin Xianggong (771 B.C.), the king of Shen, Shenhou, was angry that King You of Zhou deposed his daughter Empress Shen and grandson Ji Yijiu, so he united with the State of Shen and Dog Rong to attack the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, killing King You of Zhou at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished. At that time, Qin Xianggong once led troops to rescue the Zhou Dynasty, fought effectively, and made great contributions

As can be seen from above; 1. Luoyi, the western capital of the Zhou Dynasty, was west of Qi (Qi); In the vicinity of the Xizhui Dog Hill, near the Xirong Dog Rong and Shenhou; in the vicinity of the West Ridge; in the vicinity of Fengdu; in the vicinity of the city of 豳 (bīn, bin); In the vicinity of the city of 豳 (bīn, bin). Zhou lives in Luodong, and Shang lives in Luoxi. The land west of Qin Juqi and the east of Zhou Juqi. Fengdu is below Qi (Qi). 2. King Wu of Zhou summoned the prefect of Jiumu and climbed the earth mountain near the city of 豳 (bīn, bin) and looked at the vicinity of the city from afar. King Wu of Zhou summoned the shepherd, and swore that the eight countries plus the Zhou were the nine herdsmen. All in ancient Qin, Ba, and Shu. In the West Soil. 3. The land of Qifeng is in Xirong. Zhou avoided the dogs, migrated eastward, and Xianggong sent King Zhou Ping with soldiers. King Ping made Xianggong a prince and gave the land west of Qi. He said: "Rong has no way, invade the land of Qi and Feng, and Qin can attack Rong, that is, there is a land." "With the oath, knighted. Xiang Gong was the first country, and the princes were hired as gifts, and they used three horses, oxen, and sheep, and worshiped God in the west.

Qin Xianggong knew that the Qin people were trying to survive in the cracks, and the slightest carelessness would lead to the disaster of extinction. In the first year of Qin Xiang (777 B.C.), he married his sister Mu Huan to King Xirongfeng, and Qin Xianggong's decision-making showed his keen judgment and strategic vision.

Remember Qin Xianggong

King Yingzheng of Qin swept Liuhe, unified the world, achieved the first emperor, and left a reputation for eternity.

And he has an ancestor, who reigned for only 12 years but has many achievements, which laid a solid foundation for the future development and rise of the Qin State, and he is the first generation of monarchs of the Qin State to be named a vassal state.

He was the Duke of Qin Xiang, the first monarch of the Great Qin Empire in the true sense. Before Xianggong, the Qin state was actually not a short time, but it was only a vassal of the Son of Heaven, and was not listed as a prince, until Qin Xianggong protected King Zhou Ping and moved eastward, and the major events of the Zhou Dynasty were negotiated by the princes. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period began. The state of Qin was officially made a vassal state, and enjoyed the same status as the Qi and Jin states at that time.

Qin Xianggong

Qin Xianggong, surnamed Ying, named Kai, reigned for only 12 years and was the founder of the rise of the Qin State. So, what are the deeds of this legend?

Judging the situation, marrying a sister and Xirong

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Da Luo's eldest son Cheng was the wife of the emperor's prince, and as a non-son, he could only be vassalized with Da Luo's eldest son Cheng Ying. The eldest son of Da Luo Dog Hill was destroyed in the north and west, and his strength was strong, and he often threatened the Chinese countries in the Central Plains, even if he was as strong as Qi and Jin, he was often attacked by Rong Di. The strength of the Qin State is weak, and it is vulnerable compared to Rong Di, so it can be said that Rong Di directly threatens the foundation of the Qin State.

In the early days of Qin Xianggong's succession, he trembled and walked on thin ice, he knew that the Qin people were threatened by Rong Di on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Qin State was only a "doctor", just a vassal of Da Luo's eldest son, and was not trusted by the royal family, and only worked hard for his life.

So he immediately decided to marry his sister Mu Ying to King Xirongfeng, who was the core of the Zhou royal family, in the first year of Qin Xiang (777 BC), which gave him a respite for the development and growth of the Qin state.

迁都汧邑

On the one hand, considering the threat of the Rong people, and on the other hand, in order to strengthen the connection with the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, in the second year of the reign of Qin Xianggong (776 BC), Qin Xianggong moved the capital of Qin to Huangyi, which was close to King Feng of the Zhou Dynasty, and moved the sphere of influence of Qin to the east.

In the same year, Rong (not Xirong) attacked Dog Hill on a large scale, and Qin Xianggong's elder brother Shifu led an army to resist stubbornly, but in the end he broke the city and was captured. However, because Qin Xianggong was pro-Xirong and had a strategic location in Huangyi, the Rong people did not kill the father, and released the father a year later, and the two sides even lived in harmony for a time.

At that time, this was also rare. It can also be seen from this that through the two major decisions of marrying his sister and moving the capital, Qin Xianggong eased the relationship with Xirong and the Zhou court on the one hand, and occupied the fertile land of Huangyi (in the Huicheng Basin) on the other hand, so that he was able to vigorously develop production and strengthen the armed forces, and at the same time strengthened the ties between the Qin state and the Zhou royal family, so that he could receive reliable support in time. In the following hundred years, after a hundred years of painstaking management by several monarchs, the Qin people gradually adapted to the harsh environment in the west, and their strength increased day by day, realizing the rise of Great Qin.

King Huping moved east and was listed as a prince

During the reign of Xianggong, the national strength developed upward, but the Western Zhou Dynasty was poor, and the unscrupulous King of Zhou You favored Bao Xi, abandoned the government and the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, and deposed the queen Shen Hou and the crown prince Ji Yijiu, and changed the establishment of Bao Xi as the queen, and set up the son of Bao Xi Ji Bofu as the crown prince.

In the seventh year of Qin Xianggong (771 B.C.), Shen Hou was deposed because of his daughter and grandson, and united with the state of Xuan and Dog Rong to invade the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. Shen Hou was deposed because of his daughter and grandson, and the purpose of uniting the state of Xuan and the dog Rong to invade Haojing, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, was to establish the crown prince Ji Yijiu as the king of Zhou Ping. After that, he opened the Duke of Qin Xiang, and established the Zhou Dynasty with the princes such as Duke Wei Wu, Marquis Wen of Jin, and Duke Wu of Zheng, opening the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ，

In 770 B.C., King Zhou Ping wanted to move the capital to Dongluoyi because of the Xiluoyi earthquake, because Qin Xianggong and Xirong, Dog Rong, and Shenhou were all relatives, so King Zhou Ping obtained the consent of the princes, named Qin Xianggong as a prince, and gave him the land west of Qishan, the land of Qishan and Fenghe in Zhou, and the land owned by Qin.

The state of Qin officially became a vassal state, and the Duke of Qin Xianggong also became the first monarch in the true sense, and then exchanged envoys with other vassal states and exchanged gifts of appointment. In order to celebrate the official establishment of the Qin State, Qin Xiang Gong used the Taigao Ceremony of three horses, oxen, and sheep to worship the White Emperor in Xichou, and at this time the Qin State began to enjoy the same status as Qi, Jin and other countries. Qin Xiang lived in the West Dog Hill and was buried in the West Dog Hill. Xichou is also in Inuhill. Qishan in Li County. Qi Mountain in Li County was called Qi Mountain in ancient times, and it was called Qi Mountain after worshipping the White Emperor in Xichou.

Western Expedition to Rongdi

Although the Qin State was granted the land west of Qishan and was able to develop freely in the Guanshan area, it also experienced the test of whether it could survive. On this land, at the same time, there lived Rong and Di with strong combat effectiveness, and the incursion of Rong Di made Qin Xianggong understand that only a strong national strength could allow Qin to enjoy long-term peace, and to grow in battle, continue to grow and expand, and expand its territory.

So Xianggong actively prepared for war in the country, developed national strength, and crusaded against Xirong many times. Although the struggles during this period all ended in failure, they sharpened the will of the Qin people and promoted the improvement of the military strength of the Qin state. The Qin army once attacked Qishan, but could not occupy it for a long time, so it had to retreat to the west.

In 766 BC, Qin Xianggong died on the way to conquer Xirong and was buried in the Xitui Cemetery, where his son Qin Wengong succeeded him.

Qin Xianggong is the first generation of monarchs of the Qin State as a vassal state, although he did not reign for a long time, but his ambition and merits opened the Qin people's nearly 100 years of hard work, and he is really the founder of the rise of the Qin State and the achievement of hegemony.

It can be said that without Qin Xianggong, there would be no Great Qin in the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and there would be no Qin Shi Huang who swept Liuhe.

As Sima Qian recorded in the "Historical Records", "Qin Qi Xianggong, Zhang Yuwen, Miao, dedication, filial piety, a little encroachment on the six countries, more than a hundred years, to the first emperor is able to crown the Lun." ”

Sima Zhen's "Historical Records Suoyin": "Xianggong saved Zhou and ordered the nations. Golden Temple White Emperor, Longzuo Water De.
