A few young masters were surprised—

"Oh, no, didn't that kid already run the wrong way, why did he turn around again?"

"It seems that the blind cat touched the dead mouse and made him go around. ”

"Strange thing, let's go ahead and see, what's going on......"

Finally, when I arrived at the city gate, I saw that Qin Xiu was already waiting there, these young masters, it was not easy to play tricks at this time, so they had to take out the silver tickets one by one.

Although he was very unhappy, he lost to a poor talent from other places, especially to a group of crutches from the other party, which made people lose face.

But in the end, after they gave the money, they still walked away one by one......

Several young masters were depressed to death, but they didn't expect to lose after a long time, and even played tricks, and in the end they were still inexplicable-

"Hey, I'm really unwilling, all the pirated websites have been seized............................................................................... ”

Di Xin is the name of the Shang people, or the people of the Shang State to call their own monarch. Because the king's name is Sin. According to the oracle bones and historical records that have been discovered, the names of the emperors of the Shang Dynasty have always been named after the heavenly stems. When the people of the Shang Empire addressed the monarch, they added an emperor in front of the name, such as Emperor Zujia, Emperor Wending, Emperor Taiding, Emperor Wuding, and so on.

The reason why the merchants called their monarchs emperors, rather than queens like the Xia Dynasty, is related to the Monist Religion, the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty. After the Shang Tang destroyed the Xia and established the Shang Dynasty, it was a combination of royal power and divine power, both a monarch and a priest, and at the time of the destruction of the Xia, according to the "Book of Shang", it was under the banner of the Mandate of Heaven. Why the Mandate of Heaven is on Shang Tang's side, it is a bit laborious to explain. Therefore, since Shang Tang, through unremitting efforts, the original polytheistic religion was finally transformed into the ancestral monistic religion.

Merchants respect their ancestors, Emperor Yu - according to modern research, that is, Emperor Yu, that is, one of the three emperors and five emperors, in the "Historical Records of the Five Emperors" listed the Yellow Emperor, Zhuan Xu, Emperor Yu, Tang Yao, and Yu Shun as the five emperors. Since the ancestor was the Emperor of Heaven and was in charge of all the gods, it was only natural to protect the merchants. Moreover, after the death of the Shang kings of all dynasties, they had to return to their ancestors, "around the emperor", and become a bridge and link between the world and God. As a result, future generations will refer to their deceased kings as emperors as they respect their ancestors. Since he is a god and an emperor after death, he is called an emperor in the world. (Hu Houxuan, Hu Zhenyu: "The History of Yin Shang and the Title of Shang King")

The king of Shang, or the king of Zhou, is an insulting and contemptuous title for the Zhou people. Before the Zhou State destroyed the Shang, it was called "Tianyi Shang", "Tianyi Shang", and "Dayi Shang", and after the Zhou destroyed the Shang, it was also called "Dabang Shang" and "Big Country", and Zhou called himself "Xiaobang".

After the king of Zhou destroyed the merchants, because of the large number of Yin merchants, his "three hundred and sixty people were named, and they were neither visible nor destroyed." "And I couldn't sleep all night. In addition to the trauma of war, I am afraid that worry, depression and irritability are also important reasons. Therefore, the Zhou people could not and could not exalt their ancestors as the gods of the world. Moreover, the fierce party struggle for theocracy and royal power in the Shang Dynasty also made people doubt the role and effectiveness of the "Shinto teaching" of the ancestral monistic religion of the Shang Dynasty. The Zhou people could neither nor were they willing to deal a heavy blow to such religions, so they could only occupy the position of kings of the princes, not emperors. The king of Zhou called the Son of Heaven is a matter of later generations, at least in the Western Zhou Dynasty there is no such evidence. The Zhou Dynasty's habit of being called the king inherited from the ancient father, Wang Jili, Wen Wangchang, and Zhou Wu Wangfa was unconsciously used on Di Xin's body, so the funny titles of Shang Wang and Emperor Xuan appeared.

If it's just two titles, it's not so solemn. Because the person who holds this title represents a piece of history, a history that has influenced the direction of Chinese culture for thousands of years. The same period of history, written by different people, has different looks and results. Two different titles represent two different ethnic groups with diametrically opposed perceptions of history. In Chinese history, history can be divided into two types: one is the official history, which represents the mainstream ideology and value judgment of the official; One is wild history, which represents the historical identity and judgment of the people.

The appearance of two official histories in the same period of history is the unique existence of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the sequelae brought about by the Zhou Dynasty's small and broad nature, and the result of the equal power of official ideology and civil ideology.

The weakness of the Zhou Dynasty as the victor and the merchants as the vanquished were not to be underestimated, and the huge power that was entrenched. Although the official ideology of the Zhou Dynasty became the mainstream for a long time and became the official history, the history recorded by the merchants did not disappear under the blockade and encirclement of the Zhou Dynasty, but tenaciously "left its own imprint" in various historical materials.

Through these sporadic records of slush claws, people can still vaguely glimpse the history recorded by the merchants, which is completely different from the widely circulated records of the Zhou people. Although this is the same as the history of the Zhou people, it inevitably carries its own prejudices, but as another kind of history, it will inevitably help people explore the true face of history, which itself is a part of history and the purpose of studying history.

Di Xin and King Shang are the same person, and they are both the titles of the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty. The difference between these two titles is huge, and they have different meanings for different groups of people.

Causes of defeat

Defeat of Dixin:

First, it is said that in the later period of his reign, Di Xin was proud of his achievements, spent a huge amount of money to build Lutai, make wine ponds, hang meat for forests, build luxurious palaces and gardens, and lived a life of poverty and luxury, making the treasury empty. He was stubborn and self-serving, unable to listen to correct opinions, formed an opposition at the top, and used torture such as cannon branding to suppress the people. Kill Bigan, imprison the basket, fight every year, and lose people's hearts. During his crusade against Dongyi, he did not pay attention to the precautions against the western vassal states of the Shang Dynasty, especially the Zhou, and used troops for many years, the national strength was exhausted, and he had to face the burden of how to deal with the large number of prisoners that had accumulated over the years due to his long years of warfare. There are a large number of human martyrs in the ruins of Yinxu, and a large number of prisoners of war or free people of the enemy who were brutally killed by the Yin Shang nobles are buried, which in itself shows that the Yin Shang nobles, including Di Xin, are not benevolent. The Yin Shang aristocracy was already notorious and unpopular before the fall of the country.

Second, the political erosion of Yin Shang broke out and a great schism broke out, and Emperor Yi passed the throne to the young son Shoude instead of the eldest son Wei Ziqi, and the court was divided into two factions. The Weizi Qi faction constantly launched rebellion against Emperor Xin, such as spreading rumors and slander, launching infighting, plotting (conspiracy and treacherous plots) to assassinate, and betraying the country to seek glory. And Emperor Xin was too soft on his political opponents, which led to political defeat.
