In the "Biography of Mu Tianzi", it is recorded that this period of the more exaggerated love myth between King Mu of Zhou and the Queen Mother of the West is recorded, but because this love story is a myth, it is not exaggerated even if it is exaggerated.
King Mu of Zhou toured the west
King Mu of Zhou was a very mythical emperor, and there are many legends in history, one of which is that during his reign, he twice marched west to Inuyasha, and then continued to advance westward, hoping to learn from the ancient Yellow Emperor who traveled around the world. According to the research of historians, the Western Tour of King Mu of Zhou is not a myth and legend, but a real historical fact.
King Ji man of Zhou mu was the fifth king after King Wen of Zhou established Western Zhou, reigning for about 55 years, and is said to be the longest reigning of the Western Zhou emperors. During the reign of King Mu of Zhou, the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty among the foreign tribes around The Western Zhou Dynasty was greatly reduced, and the western frontier was harassed by foreign tribes. For the sake of the security of the Western Zhou frontier and the restoration of the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty, King Mu of Zhou twice led his army to the west, conquered the Inuyasha and won a complete victory, and thus opened up the passage of communication between the Western Zhou and the countries of the Western Regions. Because he likes to travel, after the opening of the Western Passage, King Mu of Zhou decided to travel the world like the Yellow Emperor in ancient times.
According to historical records, King Mu of Zhou traveled from the capital of Western Zhou to the country of the Western Queen's mother, and the distance between the two places was a total of 12,100 miles. Previous scholars have deduced from the mileage stated in the story that the country of the Queen Mother of the West should be located in what is now southwestern Asia or Europe. However, at the Sino-Japanese seminar on the Biography of Mu Tianzi in 1992, some scholars analyzed that before the Qin Dynasty, it was short, only 77 meters long now, so the country of the Western Queen Mother should be in the area of xinjiang in gansu province, with the center in Dunhuang and Jiuquan. This view is consistent with the western region in the Book of Han.
King Mu of Zhou's Western Tour not only expanded the territory of Western Zhou, but also strengthened the Zhou Dynasty's external exchanges.
Zhou Mu Wang Bajun
According to legend, the eight horses of King Mu of Zhou used to drive the carriage, and it is rumored that the eight horses traveled very fast, and King Mu of Zhou once drove the carriage pulled by these eight horses to imitate the famous figure of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times.
Zhou Mu Wang Eight Juntu
There are many theories about the eight horses, two of which are about the names of the eight horses. One theory is that King Mu of Zhou was named after the eight horses with different coat colors, and the horses with fiery red fur were named Chi Ji; Horses with pure black fur were named Thieves; Horses whose fur color is pure white are named Baiyi; Horses with blue-purple fur were named overwheels; Shanzi is the name of a horse with gray-white fur; Canal yellow is the name of a horse with goose-yellow fur; Red horses with black bristles and black ponytails are called horses; The last horse with blue-yellow fur was named Green Ear. The names of these horses are recorded in the Biography of Mu Tianzi.
Another theory is that the names of the eight horses were determined by their respective speeds. Horses that travel so fast that their hooves do not trample on the ground are named Jedi; Horses that travel faster than flying birds are called tumbling feathers; Horses that can travel thousands of miles at night are named Benxiao; The horse that chases the sun is called Super Shadow; Horses whose fur shines as they travel are named Yue Hui; Horses that travel so fast that ten shadows appear are named Super light; One of the remaining two horses is called Tengwu, which seems to be running wildly in a cloud, and the other is called a support wing, and the horse has flesh wings on it. The names of the above horses are recorded in the "King Mu of Zhou" in the Book of Collected Remains.
King Mu of Zhou's robot
There are many legends about King Zhou Mu in history, one of which is the story of king Zhou Mu's robot. Even in modern times, robots are rare, but in historical legends, during the zhou mu king, he received a tribute from a small western country similar to a robot-like organ man.
King Zhou Mu and the robot
The story goes like this: During the time of King Mu of Zhou, a small western country came to pay tribute to King Mu of Zhou, and the object of tribute turned out to be a person from an organ. This organ man was made extremely realistic, like a real person, and very beautiful. King Zhou Mu liked it very much after seeing it, and asked the organ person to perform a show on the spot, and the organ person began to sing and dance on the spot, which was no different from the real person. Although King Mu of Zhou was a little confused about this, his happiness prevailed, and he held a banquet that night to entertain the envoys of the small Western countries, while also letting the organ accompany him. The organ people received a reward from King Mu of Zhou for the program they performed at the banquet. And it was this wine that caused trouble.
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, the organ people dared to flirt with the concubines of King Mu of Zhou. In this regard, King Zhou Mu was very angry, not only to kill the organ person, but also to anger the envoy, saying that he was false to pay tribute to the organ people, in fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to defile the harem of King Zhou Mu. For the crimes imposed by King Mu of Zhou, the envoys did not obediently prostrate themselves, but tried their best to defend themselves, that the organ people were not human at all, and could not defile the harem. King Mu of Zhou was still angry, the organ people had behaved like real people before, and so many people at the banquet had seen him flirting with concubines, how could he not be human.
At this point, the envoys could only disassemble the organs into parts to prove their innocence. Miraculously, when he disassembled, the organ man was still drunk and did not feel anything, until his heart was removed, and he did not stop moving.
