On the occasion of the Xia and Shangding Revolutions in the upper reaches of the long history of the Huang surname, we found the famous Huang Yin through the oracle bones. Huang Yin held a high status in the minds of merchants, similar to the previous king, and was often sacrificed by the Shang king, and there is often a record of "telling Huang Yin" (see "Oracle Bone Concise Dictionary Huang Yin"). Huang Yin's spirit in heaven can not only bless the world and bless the Shang King, but also bring disasters to the Merchant and the Shang King.
According to the research of authoritative oracle bone philologist Guo Moruo and others, Huang Yin is the legendary hero Ah Huang, also known as Yi Yin, who is highly praised in the pre-Qin classics. Yi is the original surname of The Ancestor of the Huang surname Boyi, and the Yellow Characters Ancient and Heng Characters can be mutually false. The great historian Sima Qian recorded Ah Heng's deeds in his monumental work, The Chronicle of Yin Benji.
Shi Zai Huang Yin was a talented man with a wealth of ability to govern the country and a martial strategy. At the end of the Xia Dynasty, the government was corrupt, and he was still pregnant in his seventies and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Later, the Shang clan rose up, and the Shang king Chengtang was quite a son of heaven, so he went to surrender. In order to get close to Shang Tang, he first demoted himself to slavery and became a slave of the Youxin family. Later, there was a daughter of the Xin clan who married Shang Tang, and Huang Yin came to Shang Tang as a concubine (dowry slave). Once, Ah Heng shouldered the big ding to season shang tang, first discussed the way of food and taste with Shang Tang, and then discussed the road of monarchy ruling the country and unifying the world. Shang Tang listened and was very impressed, so he used him as the prime minister.
Another legend is different from this, saying that Huang Yin could not live in seclusion, and Shang Tang was famous for sending people to invite him, but he was repeatedly rejected, until the fifth time, Huang Yin Ah Heng was willing to go out of the mountains to join Shang Tang. After Huang Yin defected to Shang Tang as prime minister, he became Shang Tang's right-hand man, and Huang Yin was proficient in all political and military affairs, and finally assisted Shang Tang in eliminating Xia Jie and establishing the Shang Dynasty. After that, Huang Yin was re-elected as the prime minister of the four dynasties of Shang Tang, Wai Bing, Zhongwang, and Dajia, and became the dominant figure in the actual politics of the early years of the Shang Dynasty in China. The establishment of the throne in the early Shang Dynasty, the formulation and implementation of policies were all written by him. Emperor Taijia reigned for three years, was tyrannical, and was exiled by Huang Yin to Tonggong (桐宫, in present-day northeastern Yucheng County, Henan) for reflection. Huang Yin acted as regent for three years, and Taijia repented of his remorse, and after returning to Benevolence, he personally welcomed Taijia back to the palace and returned to him. By the time of the fifth Woding of the Shang Dynasty, Huang Yin had been the prime minister for more than thirty years, and finally his merits were complete, and he died at the age of more than 100 years. Because of Huang Yin's great merits to the Shang clan, he was not only remembered and worshipped by merchants after his death, but also praised by the pre-Qin Hundred Classics. His political and moral articles such as "Xian You Yi De", "Female Dove Female Room", "Yi Xun", "Wanton Life", "Liu Hou", and "Tai Jia Xun" were included in the "Book of Shang" and passed on to future generations. The Book of Verses? There is a "Long Hair" in the Shang Ode, and its last verse is a tribute to Tangchen Huang Yin, that is, Ah Heng. Its words are: "Once upon a time in the middle of the leaf, there was a tremor and karma." Yun ye Tianzi, descended to Qingshi, Shiwei Ah Heng, Shi Wei A heng, Shi Wei Shang King. "Merchants not only sacrificed him as if he were an ancestor, but also built his tombs in Pingli Township, Jiyang, Henan, Xibali in Yanshi County, and Xiwuli in Chuqiu County. If you were not a person who was loved, respected and remembered by people before you died, you would never have been treated so highly after death. People also built his tombs in Pingli Township, Jiyang, Henan, Bali in Yanshi County, and 45 Li in the west of Chuqiu County.
