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. Among the "femme fatale" in China's past dynasties, the most vicious one is probably da ji, the favored concubine of Shang Dynasty. Moreover, when two people are mixed together, it can be regarded as "the husband sings with the woman", which is surprisingly in tune. According to historical records? According to Yin Benji, Zhou Wang is already cruel, but according to the explanation in the folk Romance of Ghosts and Ghosts, he is simply abnormal and has a serious tendency of "sadomasochism". 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. "Today" records: "When attacking the Soviet Union, Su Shi took da ji as his daughter." In other words, da ji is the "trophy" of Zhou Wang's victory. 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's emotional state. Only "da ji keeps his word".
According to official records, Zhou Wang not only did what da ji liked, but also made "the sound of new lewdness, the dance of northern customs, the joy of decadence". He also raised money from the people and built a tall and magnificent deer platform filled with 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 is extremely dissolute.
Worst of all, he was soft-hearted, and listened to da ji the most, even to the point where "da ji was precious and da ji was avenged". In this way, the world is not peaceful, the people complain, and the princes rebel. At this time, da ji gave Zhou Wang a "cruel trick" and invented a criminal law to punish prisoners, called "branding method". It is to put a thick copper column horizontally, light a charcoal fire below it, and then order "the guilty people to walk on it." After a few steps, they all fell into the blazing coals and burned alive. Every time I saw the prisoner struggling and screaming in the coals, da ji "laughed". How to laugh, laugh or sneer is unknown. Zhou Wang's uncle Bigan couldn't stand this cold and abnormal practice, so he remonstrated with him and said, "If the laws of the former king are not fixed and women are used, the consequences will be unimaginable." This sentence touched a sore spot for Zhou Wang, who was very angry and thought it was a "myth" that misled people and embarrassed him. At this time da ji embellished it. When the cherry blossoms, she spits out a bloody sentence: "I heard that a saint has seven minds ..." Hearing this, Zhou Wang said Effie was so curious, so open it and have a look. So, "look at it."
According to historical records, he also chopped one of the two ministers, Nine Hou P and Hubei Hou, into paste and the other into dried meat. Another courtier, Xibochang (namely Zhou Wen Wang Jichang), wanted to be branded, but he was very clever and immediately gave it mainly to Zhou Wang, "a beautiful woman with wonderful things and a good horse" and his own Luoxi territory. Zhou Wang let go and 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.
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, Wei Zi betrayed his brother and country and led the wolf into the room. No wonder everyone called him a China (Shang) traitor and lamented that "Wei Zi is the worst!"
Practically speaking, Zhou Wang was a very successful monarch. At that time, the Shang Dynasty had a powerful army, all equipped with advanced bronze weapons and armor, and his combat troops also included special forces such as "Elephant Team". There is a record in ancient books that "merchants abused the East with elephants". 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, and defeated King Wen (King Wen was captured and imprisoned in H, 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. A human skull engraved with the words "Fang Bo" was unearthed in Yin Ruins in Anyang. Apparently, the Shang army killed Fang's monarch and brought back his skull as a trophy. Although Shang finally defeated the human side, its national strength was greatly consumed, so Zuo Zhuan commented: "It is a loss to conquer the East and harm its health."
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 tragic. "Bleeding and drifting, thousands of miles naked" described in Shangshu is by no means what the later history books say: slaves fled when they got cold feet, but Zhou Wuwang won 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 Zhou Wang's death: "You don't know the death of a monarch, only the death of a fool!" 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, that is, you can't always "judge 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 dressed 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?
