Chapter 423: Half a stone room, a good woman to take a photo!
Suddenly, a legend came to his mind!
This legend really has something to do with the thirty-six King Kongs and the seventy-two Earth Demons!
According to legend, when Liu Bowen built the Imperial Palace in Beijing, the emperor planned to build the palace with more rooms and larger rooms, thinking that the place where the emperor lived should be particularly luxurious, otherwise it would not show the dignity of the Son of Heaven. One day, Liu Bowen said to the emperor: "Long live Qijuan, the minister had a dream last night, and he dreamed that the Jade Emperor summoned the minister to the Lingxiao Hall and said to the minister: 'You want to build the palace to the emperor, you sue him, the heavenly palace treasure hall is a thousand, and the mortal palace must not exceed the heavenly palace. You also have to sue him, and you have to ask for thirty-six vajra. Seventy-two earths have to protect the mortal imperial city, so that the wind and rain can be controlled, and the country and the people will be safe. You have to keep it in mind. As soon as the Jade Emperor finished saying these words, a burst of white incense mist rushed over, which scared the ministers awake at once!" The emperor heard and thought about it, and ordered Liu Bowen to supervise the construction of a palace that was less than a thousand, but it was about the same number as the Heavenly Palace, and asked King Kong Disha to protect the palace. This matter spread in Beijing/City, and the common people were waiting to see how Liu Bowen repaired the palace and how to invite the immortals of Thirty-six King Kong and Seventy-two Earth Demons to protect the palace.
Could it be that this message has something to do with the nine hundred and ninety-nine rooms in the palace?
Wang Zhong thought with some doubts.
But this is a thousand miles away from the Forbidden City, how is it possible?
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility!
"Elder Li, is there half a room in the tomb?"
Wang Zhong asked loudly.
"Half a burial chamber?"
Li Lao said with some doubts.
"There is indeed half a tomb, just now my monk master was still wondering, because according to the tomb style of the Shang Dynasty, there will not be half a tomb!"
Xiao Huang answered.
"Really?"
Wang Zhong's eyes showed a look of excitement.
"Take me to that tomb!"
"Good!"
Xiao Huang also knew the importance of this matter, and quickly took Wang Zhong to the half of the tomb.
"Something's out, something's out!"
At this time, the excavator said with some excitement.
"It's a jade phoenix!"
"Yufeng?"
Xiao Huang said with some surprise. There are a lot of jade dragons unearthed here, and the jade phoenix is really the first one!
"This shows that the woman attaches great importance to this jade phoenix!"
Mr. Li is experienced. I figured out the key in an instant!
"This jade phoenix must be very precious, you must be careful when cleaning it!"
"Okay, just look at it!"
The staff carefully placed the jade phoenix on the tray and began to clean and measure.
This vessel is very similar to the phoenix character in the Shang Dynasty oracle bone inscription, and it is an excellent physical object to study the image of the phoenix in the minds of the Shang Dynasty people. The jade phoenix has a high crown and a beak, short wings and a long tail, and the pavilion looks back and wants to fly, elegant and free, and the stretched long tail is naturally curved, and the tail feather is combined. Plain and wrinkle-free. There is a perforation in front of the body, which makes the phoenix body plump and charming. The perforated knob with the protruding back should be the place where the rope is suspended. The image of the phoenix is beautiful and exquisite, and the jade is crystal clear and clean, which makes people can't help but take a second look and hold on. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: "The phoenix bird is said to be virtuous, the wing is said to be shun, the text is benevolent, the back is righteous, and the world is harmonious when you see it." It shows that the phoenix was still a symbol of morality and benevolence at that time. Perhaps the woman admired this jade phoenix back then, in addition to expressing nobility, it also meant auspiciousness. ”
Li Lao looked at the cleaned Yufeng and said with an appreciative expression.
"Beautifully deserved!"
Wang Zhong looked at the jade phoenix polished with fine jade. It's also a face of appreciation. According to the level of craftsmanship at that time, this jade phoenix was ground out little by little, and the precious Cheng dù can be seen!
"This jade phoenix may be a token of love given to her by Wu Ding!
Li Lao reasoned reasonably.
"Or the symbol of the queen at that time!"
"But we don't have direct evidence right now!"
Just as they were making inferences. Wang Zhong's feet lightly stepped on the tomb soil, which was thousands of years old. He stood there silently. His sensations spread out like tentacles.
His sense of touch pierced through the tomb soil lightly, and finally came to a mysterious time and space!
This time and space is a fragment frozen by magic, and a beautiful woman with a giant axe is the protagonist of this picture!
Good woman!
Wang Zhong instantly understood the identity of that woman!
Goddess of War. Priestess, good woman!
These pictures are the short and glorious life of a woman!
When she married Wu Ding and became the king's wife, Wu Ding gave her quite a rich fief and scholars, and in her fief, she got the name of "good", and was honored as "good woman", or "queen woman good".
The temple name of the woman is "Xin", and the descendants of the Shang Dynasty respectfully call her "Mother Xin" and "Mother Xin".
Nuhao is the first queen of Wuding. Before she married Wu Ding, she should have been a matrilineal tribal leader or princess under the Shang Kingdom or a surrounding tribe, with an extraordinary background and knowledge. She is very intelligent, and she also has extraordinary courage and wisdom. Wu Ding, the king of the Shang Dynasty, who had the most prosperous martial arts, was her husband, and in the great martial arts of the Wu Ding era, there was a considerable part of the credit of the woman. The Shang Dynasty had a strong matriarchal clan heritage, and there was no problem at all with these adjectives used on the Shang queen.
The woman has excellent arm strength, and one of the weapons she uses, the big axe, weighs 9 kilograms, which shows her strong body and her bravery.
Nu Hao and Wu Ding are a good couple who are truly like-minded. When he first got married, Wu Ding didn't know much about the ability of women to lead troops into battle. In the summer of one year, there was a foreign invasion on the northern border, and the generals sent to fight could not solve the problem for a long time. Wu Ding was very hesitant about his wife's request, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to let the queen go on the expedition through guò divination.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the woman arrived at the front line, she dispatched and commanded well, and took the lead, and quickly defeated the enemy and won the victory.
From then on, Wu Ding was impressed by his wife, and made her the commander of the Shang Dynasty and let her command the battle. Since then, Nuhao led the army to fight and defeated more than 20 small countries such as Beitufang, Nanyi, Nanbafang, and Ghost Fang, and made immortal achievements for the Shang Dynasty to expand its territory.
Among them, in the battle against the Qiang side. Wu Ding handed over more than half of the Shang Dynasty's entire army to her - more than 13,000 people. This battle was a complete victory, and it was also the largest number of troops sent during the Wuding period. One of the greatest feats she made for Wu Ding and the Shang Dynasty was to lead an army of 13,000 men against the enemy in the northwest. This war was of great epoch-making significance for the Yin Shang Dynasty and even for the entire history of China.
This was a war of self-defense, before the battle of the Shang Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty had been trapped in the war and harassment on the northwest frontier for many years, and could not win, but the woman Hao completed the battle and achieved the last and most powerful victory. and received the enemy's obedience. This was a decisive battle that laid the foundation for the course of the history of Chinese civilization. Historians believe that the significance of this battle is no less than the legendary battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou.
Whenever the woman went out alone and triumphantly, Wu Ding always couldn't suppress her joy and went out of the city to greet her. At one point, it was more than 80 kilometers away. When the couple finally met in the suburbs with their respective subordinates, the excitement of reuniting after a long absence made them forget the identity of the king and queen, leaving them behind. The two drove side by side. Chase and gallop in the wilderness. Wu Ding regarded his wife as extremely important and even loved and respected, and this time the romantic one was left in the historical materials, and the love that was not seen in the text was naturally more. The piano is harmonious, and the envy of future generations.
In addition to leading the army to fight. The woman also mastered the sacrificial divination of the Shang Dynasty and often presided over such ceremonies. She was a veritable clergyman, the highest priest.
Wu Ding was a very knowledgeable king, and he did not marry his wife because of his wife. thinks that she should dedicate herself to her country for free. After the woman made great achievements, Wu Ding did not forget her when she was rewarded for her meritorious deeds, and divided her into fiefdoms.
The woman is in her fiefdom. It is the lord of the qiē, she presides over the affairs of the qiē within the fiefdom, and has the income from the fields and the slaves. She also paid a certain tribute to her husband Wu Ding, and all of them were handled in accordance with the etiquette of the king and the princes, and she never abolished the public for personal reasons. Nuhao's fief must have been one of the richest places in the Shang Dynasty, because in her fiefdom she had her own independent descendant army of more than 3,000 people—a number that the entire strength of an ordinary small state might not have been able to reach in those days.
Due to their economic independence, women were able to cast large-scale bronze products for themselves, and the surviving women's puppet Fang Ding was one of them.
However, she died at the age of 33. Although her life is not short compared to that era, it is too short compared to her husband Wu Ding, who has been in age for 59 years.
What was the reason for her death? Judging from the oracle bones that have been translated, there are several possibilities. One possibility is that he died because of difficult childbirth, or he died because of the battle, at least because of the recurrence of war wounds, and the war in those years was actually a large-scale weapon fight, and it was impossible to live up to the injury.
From historical records, it can be found that many years after the death of the woman, Wu Ding still misses her.
The past came to Wang Zhong's mind like a movie, but what shocked him the most was the war between the woman and the Western invaders, which was probably the earliest war with Westerners in the history of Chinese civilization!
Armed with a great axe, the woman stood at the head of the line, flanked by some blonde invaders.
About 3,000 years ago, the Earth experienced a Xiaoice period, with global temperatures dropping and living conditions at high latitudes deteriorating dramatically. The Paleo-Indo-Europeans, who lived solely on hunting and gathering, had to migrate south. Among them, the Greek-speaking tribes passed through the Balkans, and the Mycenaean civilization brought Greece into what Western scholars call a dark period until about 400 years later, in 8 BC, It was only in the 9th century that the culture began to recover, the Assyrians who migrated to the valley of the two rivers swept away thousands of years of Mesopotania culture, another Indo-Europeans who migrated eastward separated near Central Asia, and one continued eastward to China, and the other group entered India south and conquered the indigenous people of India who created a splendid civilization and established a caste system: the invaders were classified as the highest caste after stealing the culture of the aborigines, and the real creators of the two cultures were classified as the lowest caste by the indigenous people of India, and they were forbidden to read and learn the culture they had created, eventuallyIndian civilization, which predates China's origins, gradually declined under this barbaric apartheid system – because being forbidden to study meant a lack of political talent, there was basically no unity in India's history, and there was no sense of national and national identity. Because the destruction of civilization by this migration affected the entire Eurasian continent. However, the Indo-Europeans who entered China were completely defeated by the Shang Dynasty army led by Nu Hao. The Chinese civilization, which had begun to take shape, stood tall in this storm and became the beacon of the entire human civilization for the next nearly 3,000 years.
This naturally explains why Westerners are afraid of the bird. (Because the totem of Chinese civilization is "Xuanniao, bear, mastiff, wolf, male phoenix bird (female is phoenix)", therefore, in the consciousness of Westerners, they are afraid of "Xuanniao".) )
In Wang Zhong's view, the significance of this battle is no less than the battle of the Yellow Emperor Chiyou praised by legendary historians. He also used some indirect sources to illustrate the great significance of this war: the foreign tribes conquered in the Wuding era "had extremely similar cultural ties and some blood relations with the Aryan peoples who ravaged Indian culture and the Gasids who conquered the two river valleys; although they had no written language, they possessed very advanced weapons of war", but "in this era, the Chinese nation fought a brave and The victorious war of self-defense, which laid the foundation for 200 years of cultural life in the Yin Shang era and established a new foundation for a great civilization in East Asia and the Pacific'.
The Indo-Europeans did not see other peoples as human beings at all, and instead of trying to merge with the peoples they defeated, they devised a system of apartheid or genocide: far from the caste system of the Indo-Europeans who invaded India (i.e., the Aryans), and more recently, the Europeans and Americans who traded black slaves and massacres of the American Indians in Africa. In this sense, the contribution of women to Chinese civilization is comparable to that of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, or even greater, because the structure of Chinese civilization in the embryonic stage at that time was still very fragile, like a small sapling, a storm can destroy it; unlike the 13th and 14th centuries, when it already had a deep foundation and foundation, like a towering ancient tree, after a thunderstorm, it is still upright.
In this sense, women are the saviors of our race and civilization.
The picture in front of Wang Zhong's eyes slowly faded, and a huge bird flew up, he was flying, and he screamed in a high-pitched voice, which made Wang Zhong can't help but think of the elf in the sea, Haiyan!
Although Xuanniao is different from Haiyan, they are both so persistent, hardworking, and persistent, but they are the same. (To be continued......)
