Why were the old Qin people relegated to raising horses? What is the source of the Qin royal family?

Audiences who have watched "Great Qin Fu" should know that the Zhou royal family once organized a vertical alliance, the main purpose of which was to suppress the Qin state. In the end, this alliance was still broken up by the powerful Qin state, and Zhou Tianzi was helpless and helpless, and sacrificed his own royal capital and thirty-six cities. After the last Zhou Tianzi of Qi, he broke his mouth and scolded the monarch of the Qin state as a slave to raise horses.

In fact, this is also very normal, in the face of absolute strength, even if the people who were once so powerful have become the past tense at this moment, they have to be forced by reality, only sighing.

Why were the old Qin people relegated to raising horses? What is the source of the Qin royal family?

The passage about the last monarch of the Zhou Dynasty, King Yang Tian of Zhou, scolding Qin Wei actually does not exist in the relevant historical documents, and the scolding is to make the effect better, so he changed a line, after all, THE TV series is not equivalent to history, and it is understandable to do so in order to attract more viewers.

However, it is recorded in the historical documents related to Qin Wei raising horses for the Zhou royal family, and the historical background of king Zhou Zhao angrily scolding Qin Wei as a horse breeder is real, that is to say, Qin Wei really started because he raised horses for the Zhou royal family.

At the end of the Warring States period, although the State of Qin was the head of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and even when the Six Kingdoms of Shandong were finally destroyed to unify the world, the Qin State became a real princely state relatively late compared with the Qi Yan and other states, and it may be that this may have inspired the successive monarchs of the Qin State to vow to surpass the Six Kingdoms of Shandong to become a existence that other princes admired like the State of Qi and the State of Jin.

Successive monarchs of the Qin State have been working tirelessly for this goal, and the Qin State can be divided into several steps: unremitting efforts to establish the Qin State, striving to survive and become stronger, constantly expanding the living space, implementing changes, defending the Qin State, making the Qin State stronger, and sweeping the Six Kingdoms of Shandong to establish the Great Qin Empire.

In 770 BC, Inuyasha and Shen Hou conspired against the Zhou Dynasty, and King You of Zhou also died in this disaster. At this time, wangdu was in ruins, and the newly enthroned king of Zhou Ping had to consider matters related to moving the capital. It was also the incident of the king of ZhouPing moving the capital to give the old Qin people the opportunity to rise, and Qin Xianggong, the ancestor of Qin Shi Huang, received the empty cheque of "princes" given by the king of Zhou Ping because of his meritorious escort.

The reason why it is said to be a blank cheque is mainly because the land sealed to Qin Xianggong by King Zhou Ping at that time was in the hands of the enemy, so it was a blank cheque. Speaking of Zhou Ping, the king was also quite cunning, and the reason why he gave this check to Qin Xianggong was because he knew that he could not take back the lost land, rather than this, it was better to be a Shunshui person to Qin Xianggong and let Qin Xianggong do things better for himself.

In this way, the old Qin people want a stable place to rest and recuperate only through their own unremitting struggle.

Before Qin Xianggong, the old Qin people could only be called a tribe, a small tribe that raised horses in the western region

Shi Zai "The King of Filial Piety summoned the main horse between The Two Of the Winds and Weis", and gave the surname Ofe, who raised horses for Zhou Tianzi for generations in the area of present-day Gansu.

In this way, we can clearly know that in fact, the ancestral status of the monarchs of the Qin State is not very high, and the reason why they can rise is only because of the riots in the Zhou royal family that they were established from a tribe to a princely state.

In this way, we will take a look at this sentence: "The Hou Hou, Ju Xi Tri, thinks that he is the god of the Lord's youth." The so-called Shao Hao was the leader of the tribes in present-day Shandong. This sentence is a sentence that appeared in the canonized sacrifice text of Qin Xianggong, and from this sentence we may also be able to see some clues, that is, why did Qin Xianggong, who lived in a small land in the western region, call himself a descendant of Shaohao?

The ancestor of Qin was the grandson of the Miao descendants of Emperor Huan, and his name was Nu Zhen .née. At the end of the Xia Dynasty, the ancestors of the Qin people submitted to the Shang Dynasty and assisted the Shang Dynasty monarchs in destroying the Xia Dynasty, so the ancestors of the Qin people were greatly rewarded by the Shang King at this time. During the lifetime of King Shang, the ancestors of the Qin people, Lian Lian and Evil Lai, were the ministers of the King of Shang, and they were the ministers of the King of Shang, until the King of Wu cut down the Shang Dynasty, and the Evil Lai was killed by the King of Zhou Wu, and The Evil Lai died at Huo Taishan.

These few words sorted out the source of the ancestors of Qin Shi Huang, and it turned out that they were also very promising. Historical documents do not clearly record where the birthplace of the Qin people is, so it has led to the interest of later generations in the birthplace of the ancestors of the old Qin people.

According to relevant archaeological excavations, it has been found that the customs of waist pit burial and dog martyrdom are common in the tombs of Qin Gong and Qin nobles, which is diametrically opposed to the martyrdom culture that was not popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but is highly similar to the tomb customs of Yin Ruins.

According to the burial method of the early cemetery of Lixian Dome Mountain Qin, this is completely consistent with the burial specifications in the Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan.

Obviously, there is no doubt that the Qin people living in the land of Xiqi at this time originated from the Yin Shang culture.
