After the King of Wu conquered the Shang Dynasty, he basically controlled the original ruling area and conquered many small countries around him. However, how to firmly control the vast territory in the east has become a serious problem facing King Wu. Therefore, he adopted the policy of "enfeoffment of relatives, vassal rule of the week", enfeoffment of people with the same surname and heroes around the country, and establishment of vassal States. One vassal state after another became the stronghold of the ruling party's land, and they also played a role in defending the Zhou royal family. King Wu sealed Shang Zhou's son Wu Geng (Luf) in Shangdu to control the merchants; Appointed his brothers Guan Shu, Cai Shu and Huo Shu as Hou to supervise Wu Geng; Duke Zhou was sealed in Lu, Jiang Shang in Qi and Zhao Gong in Yan. After Zhou Wuwang's death, his son succeeded to the throne. Because he is a young king, Duke Zhou is the Regent. Guan Shu and Cai Shu were dissatisfied with the Duke of Zhou, and they spread rumors that the Duke of Zhou intended to usurp the throne. Soon, Wu Geng colluded with Guan and Cai, and joined forces with Xu, Xuan and Bo Gu in the East to launch a rebellion. It took the Duke of Zhou three years to dispatch his troops to the East, and finally put down the rebellion between Wu Geng and Guan and Cai, killed Wu Geng and exiled Cai Shu. The overall victory of the crusade consolidated the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. After King Wu destroyed the business, he returned to Haojiang, deeply feeling that Haojiang was too far away from the newly conquered areas. He intends to build a new capital in the Ilo River area, the center of Xia people's activities. His idea didn't come true, and he died suddenly. It can be seen from the inscription of He Zun unearthed in Baoji that after he became king, he inherited the will of King Wu and decided to build a new city near Luoyang, "China". Ruling the newly conquered areas from here can greatly shorten the distance. Therefore, King Cheng sent Zhao Gong to the "Xiangzhai" near Luoyang. Soon, Luoyi and Haojing (Zhou Zong) built by King Wu became the political, military and cultural center of the Western Zhou Dynasty. In order to completely eradicate the dream of restoration of Yin adherents, when he became king, he also moved Yin stubborn people to Chengzhou.
When Zhou Gongdan was regent in Zhou Zong, his eldest son, Birchin, was made a deer. Lu's hometown is now Qufu, Shandong Province, and the site of Lucheng has been discovered. Qi, blocked, now Linzi, Shandong; The Yan State, which was sealed by Zhao Gong, also found the city site and the tomb of the Empress Yan in Fangshan, Beijing today. After the Wu Geng Rebellion was pacified, it was named Kang Shu as its brother, and the site of Wei State was found in Xun County, Henan Province. Wei, Zhou's ordinary brother, did not take part in the Wu Geng Uprising. As a descendant of Shang clan, he was named Duke of Song Dynasty, and his place is in Shangqiu, Henan today. In the west of Wei, there is also a state of Jin, which was given to his brother by King Cheng after conquering the Tang Dynasty. Its site is at the junction of Yicheng and Quwo in Shanxi today. The fiefs of these vassal States often formed a situation of horns, which were interrelated and restricted each other, thus playing a certain role in the stability of the previous political situation. It is said in the literature that "when you succeed, you don't need 40 years' punishment for making mistakes", which just shows that there was a period of stability in the Zhou Dynasty after Wu Geng successfully put down the rebellion. After a series of wars, Zhou people controlled the areas as far south as Ba, Pu, Deng and Chu. North to Sushen, Yan and Bo; East to Binhai; West to Gansu and Qinghai. Its scope is larger than that of Shang Dynasty. Zhou Wang established a relatively complete state machine and effectively ruled its territory. The punishment formulated was more systematic than that of Shang Dynasty. The number of standing armies is more than that of Shang Dynasty, with six divisions in Zhou Zong and eight divisions in Chengzhou. The land and subjects of the whole country are nominally owned by Zhou Wang, that is, "under the world, is it the land of kings?" "Leading the land is the king?" Therefore, when the king of Zhou fiefs and surrenders to the princes, he holds a ceremony to fief the land to the people. The blocked vassal States should appear before the king of Zhou regularly and have the obligation to defend the royal family. They will pay tribute (including military service) to the king of Zhou. If they don't pay tribute, they will insult the royal family and be punished. However, with the passage of time, the blocked people often cede or exchange land without authorization, and gradually turn the land into private property. At the same time, with more and more newly reclaimed land, the number of private fields is also increasing. The emergence of private land has eroded and impacted the public ownership of land based on the well field system. The social economy of the Western Zhou Dynasty was more developed than that of the Shang Dynasty. The extensive use of slave production has provided more surplus labor products for the society and promoted the development of various handicrafts. The production of bronze industry has been further expanded. In addition to the bronze workshops controlled by the royal family, the vassal States also had their own bronze workshops. Bronze products are more numerous and more widely used, involving almost all aspects of social life. The development of bronze industry promoted the prosperity of other industries. Characters are also used more widely. In addition to the inscription on the Oracle Bone Inscriptions, thousands of bronzes were engraved with inscriptions, which recorded many events in social life at that time. The largest one has 499 words, which is no less than a document at that time. There have also been many new advances in science and technology such as agriculture, animal husbandry, textile, metallurgy, architecture, astronomy and geography. These achievements have brought about changes in people's production and life. Archaeologists found artificial iron smelting in tombs in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, which shows that at least in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, people have mastered the technology of artificial iron smelting. This discovery shows that people have mastered an effective means in the struggle to transform the objective world.
When I arrived in Zhou Liwang, domestic contradictions became increasingly acute. Li Wang blackmailed and abused the people and prevented them from talking about state affairs. In 84 1 year BC, the people of China finally rioted. Li, the king of Qi, fled to Bi (now Huoxian County, Shanxi Province), and the Chinese pushed Gong Bo to work for the son of heaven. The first year of the Republic of China (84 BC1year) was the beginning of an accurate chronology of China's history. After Zhou Xuanwang succeeded to the throne, he learned a lesson and changed his policy. In order to remove the threat of Rong Di, he also launched a defensive war against Rong Di and won. In the war against Jingchu and Huaiyi, it also won some victories, so it was called "Zhongxing". However, various contradictions still exist in society, and the whole society is still in turmoil.
The development of history is always unbalanced. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Central Plains region has entered the prosperous period of the Bronze Age, while some surrounding areas are still relatively backward. Therefore, driven by wealth and interests, the wars between Zhou people and other ethnic groups have been almost constant. Jianghan basin is the base of barbarians. Zhao Haoqi led the army to conquer the barbarians, but met with strong resistance from the barbarians. The army of the Zhou Dynasty was almost completely annihilated, and Zhao Haoqi also died in Hanshui River. This was a serious failure of the Zhou Dynasty in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and it lost its ability to control the southern countries. Mu Wang and Xuan Wang also made expeditions to the south, but neither achieved significant results. Yi people in the east often invade the surrounding areas, and wars continue. Ugly Hou Yufang couldn't bear the slavery of the Zhou Dynasty, and "led the south and the east, and recruited the south and the east", which shocked the ruling and opposition parties and hit Chengzhou all the way. Zhou Wang sent the Sixth West Division and the Eighth East Division to battle, but he was still unable to resist. Relying on the reinforcements of the princes with the same surname, they won. Gourong in the northwest was the most important foreign invasion in the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the reign of King Mu, the dog army became stronger and stronger, which hindered the communication between Zhou Dynasty and northwest countries. Mu Wang recruited the western dog army and "captured its five kings", and moved a group of dog army tribes to Taiyuan, opening the way for Zhou and northwest countries. Since then, the dog has repeatedly invaded the surrounding area. Wang You, the son of Wang Xuan, dotes on Bao and wants to kill Prince Yijiu, and makes Fu Bo, the son of Bao, the heir to the throne. Yijiu's mother is the daughter of Shen Hou. Shen Hou colluded with Dog Rong to attack Zhou Wang, and killed You Wang at the foot of Mount Li. Dog Rong took the opportunity to plunder a lot of treasures. The Western Zhou Dynasty is over. Appropriate mortar with the help of governors, ascended the throne, is for the king. He moved to Luoyi, and history entered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Commemorating the 3050th anniversary of the Konoha War.
A major war in the history of our country and the 3050th anniversary of the Konoha War, one of the most important historical events in our city.
The Konoha War, which took place in BC 1046 and BC 65438+1October 20th, not only ended the nearly 600-year rule of Shang Dynasty, but also started the 800-year inheritance of Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, for the first time in China, there is a relatively complete written record of the war, in which the less wins the more and the justice defeats the injustice, which pushes the wheel of historical progress and occupies an important position in China's political and military history. The Zhou Dynasty, established after the World War II, established a complete national form in China. Relying on the Konoha War to develop the rich historical and cultural resources of our city is an important measure to promote the economic construction and social development of our city, improve the cultural taste of the city and establish a distinctive external image of Xinxiang.
Economy is the foundation, culture is the soul and image is the resource. Over the years, city leaders, experts and scholars and people from all walks of life have been calling for the development and utilization of Xinxiang's cultural heritage, including the Konoha War. In 2003, after scientific argumentation, our city decided to take Mu Ye culture as Xinxiang cultural brand. In order to develop, publicize and make good use of the rich historical and cultural resources of our city, the municipal party committee and the municipal government have started and will continue to carry out a series of work.
The poet Ai Qing once sang affectionately: "Why are there always tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply. " Throughout the ages, in the vast land of Mu Ye-Xinxiang, countless people who love her have created and are creating countless epic achievements, and the spiritual wealth contained in them is priceless! The villagers in Xinxiang are looking forward to the development and prosperity of Xinxiang. Let's bend down and take a look at the cultural heritage left by our ancestors, sort it out, inherit it and develop it well, so that advanced culture can give full play to its unique radiation, affinity and driving force and serve the all-round and coordinated development of Xinxiang.
The Third Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward that we should adhere to the people-oriented principle, firmly establish and conscientiously implement a comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development concept, unswervingly focus on economic construction, promote the coordinated development of socialist material civilization, political civilization and spiritual civilization, promote the all-round social progress and human development on the basis of economic development, and realize the harmonious coexistence between man and nature in the development and utilization of nature. Commemorating the 3050th anniversary of the Konoha War, developing historical and cultural resources, building a brand of Konoha culture and serving economic construction and social development are concrete manifestations of implementing the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee.
The just-concluded Economic Work Conference of the Municipal Party Committee pointed out that 2004 was an important year to accelerate the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way and complete the Tenth Five-Year Plan, and it was also the first year that Xinxiang City was included in the planning and construction of the economic uplift zone of the Central Plains urban agglomeration. In the past, the ancient battlefield of Konoha has developed into a place of competition today. The land of Mu Ye with profound civilization and the people of Xinxiang with excellent cultural traditions are welcoming new opportunities, new challenges and new development. Let's inherit and carry forward excellent culture, constantly create new excellent culture in practice, seize the opportunity, build up confidence, work hard, accelerate the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and jointly create a better Xinxiang!
Zhou Wuwang Tongmeng Mountain is located in Huojia County, which is16km east of Xinxiang City and adjacent to Xinjiao Highway. Take the bus from Xinxiang to Huojia, Xinxiang to Jiaozuo and Xinxiang to Wuzhi, and get off at Huojia Tongmeng Mountain Scenic Area. This mountain (altar) is an alliance platform for Zhou Wuwang to lead troops to cut down and take the oath of allegiance before the commercial suburb of Konoha. The historical records were sealed by the vassal soldiers, that is, the land of pastoral oath in Shangshu, and it was also the only physical evidence that Wu held the Muye War on the surface. With rich cultural layers, it is the site of Longshan culture to Shang and Zhou culture and belongs to the key cultural relics protection units in Henan Province. The remains of the warlord's martial arts field, warlord's well, Zhou Wuwang Yinmachi and Jiang Taigong Reading Platform are closely related to the mountains (altars) and intertwined, forming an eternal landscape that traces the battle scenes in Mu Ye and explores the ancient secluded places.
Wuwang Temple is located in Inner Mongolia Mountain, a key cultural relic protection unit in Henan Province. Later generations built it to commemorate Zhou Wuwang's swearing-in here. The monument was built at the weekend, rebuilt in Hongwu and repaired by several generations. It has the existing Ming dynasty style and belongs to a typical well-preserved Ming dynasty building complex. The mountain gate, the main hall, the back hall and the wing are all available, and the Tang Dynasty, the Ming lion and the Ming monument are ancient signs. The temple is carved with statues of Zhou Wuwang and his ministers, and tourists from all seasons come in an endless stream. In the village 3 kilometers south, there is the "Zhou Wenwang Tomb" where Wu buried Wen, and in the village of Hu Ling Temple (Future Temple) 6 kilometers southwest, there is the legendary "Lock Fox Cave" where da ji was assassinated.
Pastoral Oath Garden is located on the west side of Tongmeng Mountain, built to commemorate the oath of Zhou Wuwang Mu Ye. There are mountains, waterfalls, stone tablets, pavilions, bamboo forests and exotic flowers and grasses in the park. The "Guixintang" in the park can give visitors a glimpse of Wu's oath here, and the ancient horse drinking pool is even more touching. There are other scenic spots such as Yixiantian, Dengxian Cave, Underground Palace, Bigan Mingxin Stone and Yuxian Bridge in Liu Zhiji. The overall layout is exquisite, simple and elegant, giving people a feeling of stirring.
The park is formed by merging Tongmeng Mountain and Wuwang Temple in Zhou Wuwang, and it is open all day.
There is a Tuer village in Yanjin County, Xinxiang City. Legend has it that Zhou Wenwang ran from Zhou Wang to Yanjin County and spit out one mouthful blood. Today, the Zhou family has been in Xinxiang for 3050 weeks.
