China in the Classics - The Book of Shang

The Book of Shang is an ancient book, which is said to have been compiled by Confucius in the late period. After the "Book of Shang" was burned by Qin Shi Huang, only one national collection and one Fusheng book were left, and after Xiang Yu entered Xianyang and burned one of the state books, Fusheng took refuge with a cart of books and his wife and children in order to preserve this may be the only classic.

The transmission of the Fusheng Sutra is an important factor in the circulation of the Book of Shang to this day.

Later generations commented: "If there is no Fusheng in Han, then the "Book of Shang" is not transmitted, and there is no Fusheng in the transmission, and its meaning is not clear." It can be seen that fusheng transmission has contributed to Chinese culture. The Book of Shang is a classic that the Fusheng family protected with their lives, and eventually left unlimited wealth to future generations.

"Shang Shu Pastoral Oath" wins the hearts of the people to win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world.

"Call Ergo, Bill, stand up and spear, and swear by him", which means: Raise up your go, line up your shield, and set up your spear, and I will take an oath. In the Battle of Muye, King Wu of Zhou attacked the 700,000-strong army of the Shang Dynasty with an army of 50,000, directly countering the cruelty and inhumanity of the King of Shang, and at the same time, he also taught all the emperors in later generations a lesson: to get more help from the Tao, and to lose the Way and to help less. Only by benevolent government can we win the hearts and minds of the people and stabilize the political power; otherwise, we can only lose the hearts of the people and destroy the country and the family.
