Da ji is really wronged. Scholars of all ages, relying only on speculation and imagination, gradually realized da ji's evil, which made her bear the stigma of being the first witch in the ages.
They have always been regarded as an evil man and woman.
China dynasties? A femme fatale, I'm afraid the most vicious is Zhou Wang's favorite concubine da ji in Shang Dynasty. And it was committed by two people? Fuck? Come on, it's almost there, okay? Husband and woman sing together? , surprisingly in tune. According to historical records? According to Yin Benji, Zhou Wang is cruel, but according to the explanation of the gods in folklore, this is simply abnormal and serious? Sadist? Tendency. According to the Romance of Gods, da ji was possessed by a thousand-year-old fox spirit, and was ordered by Nu Wa to disturb the Shang Dynasty, so Zhou Wang became so strange and did those cruel things.
Of course, this is superstitious and unreliable. This beautiful woman named da ji is naturally not a fox. Record today:? When attacking the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union took da ji as its daughter. ? In other words, da ji was won by Zhou Wang? Trophy? . It is said that the totem of a tribe is the nine-tailed fox, so there will be a supplementary meeting like the Romance of the Gods. Although da ji is not a fox, he still fascinates Zhou Wang. Where did da ji's words come from? .
According to official records, Zhou Wang not only voted for da ji's liking, but also succeeded? New obscene voices, vulgar dances in the north, decadent music? , but also collected people's money and built a tall and magnificent deer platform, which is full of rare treasures. At the same time? The accumulated disadvantages are high, the wine is a pool, and the meat is a forest, which makes people naked and idle? Drinking and having fun all night can be described as licentious.
Worst of all, he has a soft ear and listens to da ji the most, even if he arrives? Da ji is precious, but da ji has done his revenge? The point is. In this way, the world is not peaceful, the people complain, and the princes rebel. At this time, da ji gave Zhou Wang another one? Tough? Zhao invented a criminal law to punish prisoners, saying? Branding method? . Is to put a thick copper column horizontally, light a charcoal fire below, and then walk on it with a guilty conscience? After a few steps, he fell into the coals and burned alive. Every time I see a prisoner struggling and screaming in a charcoal fire, da ji? Is it a smile? . How to laugh, laugh or sneer is unknown. Zhou Wang's uncle Beagan couldn't stand this cold and abnormal practice, so he protested to him and said? It would be disastrous to replace the previous laws with women's words. ? This sentence touched a sore spot for Zhou Wang, who was very angry and thought it was? Myth? Confuse and embarrass him. At this time, da ji embellished it, and Cherry opened her mouth and spit out a bloody sentence:? I heard that saints have seven hearts? Hearing this, the Zhou Wang love princess has such a thirst for knowledge, so she opened it to have a look. So? From the heart? .
According to historical records, he also chopped one of the two ministers, Jiuhou and Hubei Hou, into paste and the other into dried meat. Another courtier, Xi Bochang (that is, Zhou Wen Wang Jichang), also wants it? Branding? However, he was very clever. He immediately gave up and devoted himself to Zhou Wang? Beautiful women, strange things, good horses? And his own territory, Zhou Wang just let him go. Later, several ministers with brains pretended to be crazy and sold stupidity, sold stupidity and sold stupidity, defected to the enemy and were exiled. In this way, the natural heart turns away, and the princes are centrifugal. Soon, Xibochang's son Zhou Wuwang rebelled and defeated him. He didn't want to surrender or be humiliated, so he put on the most beautiful clothes, took the best treasure and burned himself with a torch. And his beauty da ji, the result is even worse, was beheaded, cut off the head was hung on a small white flag, let the world see, let all the women in the world have a lesson.
Are they really that bad?
Both official history and unofficial history say that da ji is a femme fatale. This argument has become a household name and is deeply rooted in people's hearts. But the question is, is this the real situation in history?
Let's talk about Zhou Wang first. History books of all ages have symbolized him as a tyrant, but this image is still far from his real situation.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Zi Gong was somewhat uneasy. He resented Zhou Wang's injustice and said, It's better to be bad than bad! It is a gentleman who lives in filth, and later generations say that evil will be rewarded. ?
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the charges against Zhou Wang were limited to? Die fighting? . By the Warring States period, Bigan's death became vivid. Qu Yuan said that he was drowned, while the public servant in Lv Buwei said that he died of his heart. By the time Sima Qian wrote Historical Records in the Han Dynasty, there had been a more vivid explanation, saying that Zhou Wang had cut open his own heart to satisfy da ji's curiosity. Do you want to see it? Saint? Heart is not seven. Huangfu Mi in Jin Dynasty made mistakes in writing some articles on literature and history because he was a doctor by profession? Occupational disease? And infer that Zhou Wang dissected the pregnant woman at the instigation of Da Ji to see the shape of the fetus. Zhou Wang is not good, but it's not that bad. Isn't it a big mistake for later scholars to process and interpret according to their personal likes and dislikes?
About Zhou Wang's most famous? Wine pool meat forest? 、? Branding? The legend of Han Feizi was not recorded in the literature of the Zhou Dynasty, nor in the Spring and Autumn Period, but at the end of the Warring States Period, Han Feizi suddenly described it vividly. Ji Zi used to be afraid of elephant chopsticks, thinking that elephant chopsticks would not add soil, but would be a cup of rhinoceros horn jade; Elephant chopsticks and jade cups must not be thick soup, but they must be strong, with elephant leopard tires; Camels, elephants, and leopards must eat. There are no short clothes and brown clothes under the hut, so the brocade clothes are nine heavy and the room is wide and high. After living for five years, I became a meat garden, had a barbecue, climbed a rotten mountain, and died near a wine pool. ? It is said that Han Feizi stutters, but the article is eloquent and imaginative. But then what? A hundred schools of thought contend? Everyone is eloquent. In order to publicize and demonstrate their own views, they can't help but focus on inspiring words. Strong? The words are unreasonable. There are a lot of arguments, too? Take it for granted? . Is it? Is it beautiful, not evil? Sima Qian, sometimes embellish the pen. For example, he is in Everything is done wrong? Wine pool meat forest? On the basis of, plus? Men and women streaking in the middle? Reasonable imagination. Of course, before him, someone had made a big fuss about the area of the wine pool, okay? More than 3,000 people returned to the ship to drink cattle. This imagination can only be used? Crazy? To describe.
Perhaps, in their view, Zhou Wang is not a good bird anyway, no matter how lewd and barren it is, Tang Can is harmless. Another purpose of history is to warn future generations, so their imagination and polishing often seem calm and generous. For example, Liu Xiang, a great historian after Sima Qian, upgraded the area of Lutai in Zhou Wang to? Senior three, high thousands of feet? Huangfu Mi of the Jin Dynasty felt that it was not enough. He gritted his teeth and raised the building height of Lutai ten times, reaching? Tall? The point is.
At the same time, da ji's uber and diabolical image has been gradually upgraded. A sentence against Zhou Wang in Shangshu? Listen to women? At first, in Mandarin? Da ji has a pet, so it's worse than glue? And then to Lv Chunqiu? When the Shang Dynasty was in chaos, drinking was virtuous, while da ji was in power, and rewards and punishments were bad. It is also a reasonable inference that is not too outrageous. Later, the older you get, the richer your imagination and the more vivid the historical materials you write. Until later, the Romance of the Gods was even more fascinating because it lacked the attention of historians and many materials provided by scholars in previous dynasties. The sin of a wicked woman through the ages will eventually belong to her.
In this regard, we can't help asking ourselves: Although da ji's almost abnormal behavior was invented by later generations, why do we always talk about it and seem happy to pour this dirty water on a woman?
Zhou Wang is also a tragic figure.
So, why is Zhou Wang described so tragically?
This has to start with Zhou Wang himself. Historical records? Yin Benji said he? Distinguish symptoms, smell, very sensitive; You're talented. You're a beast? Nature is a brave and resourceful person, whether civil or military. Unfortunately, it is precisely because of these extraordinary talents that he is arrogant and unwilling to listen to other people's opinions. I admire the ability of people and ministers, and the world is famous for its high voice. Bad habits? Think it's all under your skin? .
In the meantime, what else does he have? Good wine, debauchery, women? problem As a king, a hero and a man, these mistakes are not too big, and they are by no means so ridiculous and shameless as exaggerated by future generations. People in Shang dynasty drank good wine, and liked to eat with wine and gather people to drink heavily. This is the consistent ethos of that dynasty. Judging from the unearthed artifacts, the drinking utensils in the late Shang Dynasty increased significantly, indicating that drinking became more and more popular in society. In other words, this may be a serious social problem, but it is not enough to subjugate the country.
If the punishment for his time is too heavy, it is also objective and unfair. Each era has its own cultural characteristics. We can't ask him to enforce the law in a civilized way. Can we use the electric chair or intravenous injection? Here, I might as well use facts to illustrate. "History? Is it included in The Great Mo Yu in the Xia Dynasty? Five punishments? System and? Summer terrace? Prison. In addition to beheading, there are various cruel punishments such as cooking, chopping into paste, chopping cars, beheading, strangulation, burning to death, abandoning cities, genocide and so on. In other words, these punishments were not invented by Shang Zhouwang. Whether to impose such punishment on his political opponents or criminals is a question for the judicial system.
Another example will help us understand the punishment at that time. "Everything is wrong" records: Yin's method, those who abandon ash for righteousness break their hands. ? This is a heavy sentence for a misdemeanor. At that time, Zigong thought that the crime was light and the punishment was heavy, so he asked Confucius. Confucius, on the other hand, thought that those who made such punishment knew the truth of governing the country. Because if you happen to meet a passer-by when you are dusting, then this person will be angry and anger will lead to a fight. Because of the crime of fighting, according to the law at that time, all three families were destroyed. Therefore, the fault of throwing away the ashes by pottery seems to be light, but it is actually heavy. Such a heavy penalty is very reasonable. So, Shangshu? Will Kang's patent praise Yue? Is punishment related to punishment? . This shows that the punishment of Shang Dynasty seems barbaric, but it is reasonable, which accords with the social background at that time.
In other words, he is by no means a helpless king, but why did he still fail?
According to the analysis of historical data, apart from many uncertain factors, the greatest possibility is that the success of the coup staged by Zhou Wuwang is very accidental and speculative. Zhou Wang killed Bi Gan and imprisoned Ji Zi, probably because of different political views, but he was unprepared for Wei Zize (his own brother). Later, Weizi betrayed his brother and country and invited the wolf into the house. No wonder Mao Zedong called him a traitor in China and lamented? Micron is the worst! ?
Practically speaking, Zhou Wang was a very successful monarch. At that time, there was a powerful army in Shang dynasty, all equipped with advanced bronze weapons and armor, and there were still some in his combat troops? Special forces like the team. Is it in ancient books? Dongyi merchants abuse elephants? Record. So his troops are invincible and invincible. At that time, he had two main rivals, one was Zhou in the west and the other was Yi tribe in the east. Zhou Wang fought fiercely with King Wen in Licheng, Shanxi Province, and defeated King Wen (King Wen was captured and imprisoned in Youli, probably in this war). If Jiang Ziya, a militarist of Dongyi, hadn't rebelled against Dongyi in the eastern part of Shang Dynasty, Ji Chang would have been put to death by Zhou Wang, instead of being put home as stated in the history books.
After a short rest, Zhou Wang immediately sent his troops eastward, intending to get rid of the threat from the East once and for all, so as to avoid future trouble forever. With superior forces, such as the autumn wind sweeping away leaves, the Shang army has been hitting the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, subduing most of the Dongyi tribes, capturing thousands of Dongyi people and winning a great victory. Judging from the time recorded in Zuo Zhuan, he probably passed by a Su tribe and captured da ji in this war of conquering Dongyi.
But this protracted battle almost brought down the Shang Dynasty. According to Oracle Bone Inscriptions, it takes about 200 days for a businessman to recruit people for a round trip, which is a very wasteful thing. One piece is engraved with. Fang Bo? It is obvious that the Shang army killed the monarch and brought his skull back as a trophy. Although Shang finally defeated the human side, the national strength of Shang was greatly consumed, so Zuo Zhuan commented: He was lost in the East. ?
Return to absolute being, Zhou Wuwang learned from Zhou Wang's younger brother Wei Zi's informant that the army was going all out, and the defense of the capital was very weak, so he sent troops to raid Shangzhou and launched a decisive battle in Konoha. At that time, the elite division of Shang Wang went to the southeast and failed to get back in time. Therefore, 700,000 Dongyi prisoners and slaves had to be temporarily armed to fight. The battle of Makino was extremely fierce, as described in Shangshu. Bleeding and drifting, naked thousands of miles away? , is by no means the slave defected in later history books, Zhou Wuwang won the victory without bloodshed.
Zhou Wang refused to surrender. He chose to die with dignity, so he committed suicide. Later, the adherents of Shang Dynasty were unconvinced and rebelled under the guidance of Wu Geng, the son of Zhou Wang. It took Zhou people three years to suppress the riot, which showed the unity and prestige of Shang adherents. Confucius made a thought-provoking comment on the death of Zhou Wang. I don't know the death of the king, only the death of a stupid man! ? Probably also lamented that he was too martial and ignored the importance of convincing others with virtue. In this regard, different people have different views, and it is difficult to judge. But one thing is clear, you can't always? Talk about heroes by success or failure? . The last thing I can do is to involve innocent women and smear and abuse them at will.
History is not a little girl who can dress up; Women are not plastic flowers that are randomly fiddled with.
To convict da ji, but also to convict all women who are accessories of men in history. The historical materials about her are limited, and the age is too long, so her history can only be said how she was hacked. Talking about her failure can only discuss how the man she is attached to failed. Ancient women were just a foil for men. Success, enjoyment of wealth, failure, not only cost life, but also bear many historical stigma. So, whose sorrow is this?
