History Of History Yi Yin Put Tai Jia

Yi Yin, name Ah Heng. According to legend, Yi Yinsheng was born in the Youxin Kingdom of the Yishui River Valley, and his parents were slaves. Despite his humble origins, Yi Yin has been intelligent since childhood, diligent and self-motivated, and has cooked a good dish. Growing up, Yi Yin worked as a cook in the palace of King Youxin. Because he was well versed in the way of Yao Shun, the nobles gave his sons to him and let him discipline them on his behalf.

Tang had long heard of Yi Yin's name, and he had sent people with gifts to hire Yi Yin to serve him three times, but he was rejected by the King of Youxin. Tang pondered bitterly and finally came up with a plan. Tang sent people to bring heavy gifts to the king of Youxinguo to ask him to marry his daughter to himself as a concubine, and the king of Youxinguo readily agreed. In this way, Yi Yin came to the Shang clan as a dowry slave and was reused by Tang.

Before Tang died, he entrusted the state administration to Yi Yin. According to the regulations, the throne should be inherited by Tang's eldest son, but the eldest son, Taiding, had already died before Tang. Therefore, Yi Yin made Tai Ding's younger brother Wai Bing king. Soon, Wai Bing fell ill and died, and Yi Yin had no choice but to make his younger brother Zhongwang king again. Unfortunately, King Zhongwang also died soon after, and the throne fell on Tang's eldest grandson, Taijia. At that time, Taijia was still young, and in order to teach him to learn the lessons of Xia Jie's demise and carry forward the merits of Tang, Yi Yin successively wrote articles such as "Yi Xun" and "Wanton Life" to urge Taijia to abide by the laws of the previous kings and govern the country well.

At first, Taijia was still relatively diligent, but soon he slackened off, drinking and having fun all day, ignoring the government. Yi Yin's repeated exhortations were ineffective, so he had to put Taijia under house arrest and exile him to Tong Palace, where he thought about it behind closed doors and ruled on his behalf. Tonggong is the site of the shang dynasty royal tomb, where Tang is buried. Taijia lived in Tonggong for three years. When he saw his grandfather Tang as the founding king, the tomb was very simple, and he was extravagant, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed. Later, Taijia learned from the tomb keeper about Tang's hardships and thrifty character, which made him very remorseful for what he had done. Therefore, Taijia changed his previous style, not only strictly disciplined himself, but also cared about others and was kind to others. When Yi Yin heard about it, he immediately led his men to the Tong Palace, welcomed Taijia back to the capital, and returned the power of state affairs to him.

During the Shang Dynasty, the palace of Tongdi, the former site was located in present-day Linzhang County, Hebei Province, and was said to be the burial place of Shang Tang. Later, it was often used to refer to places where emperors were degraded or put under house arrest.

Shangdu

When the Shang Dynasty was established, the capital was set at Yuhao (present-day ShangqiuBei, Henan). Since then, the capital of the Shang Dynasty has changed many times. According to historical records, Zhongding moved the capital from Hao (present-day northwest of Zhengzhou, Henan, northeast of Xingyang), Hejia moved the capital to Xiang (present-day northern Puyang, Henan), Zu Yi ordered her to move to Xing (present-day Gengtai, Hebei), from Xing to Geng (present-day Hejin, Shanxi), and later from Geng (present-day north of Zhicheng, Shandong, southwest of Liangshan), Nan Geng moved the capital to Xiang (present-day Qufu, Shandong), and Pan Geng moved the capital from Yin (present-day Anyang, Henan).
