Shang Song

"Shang Song" is the last part of the ode and the last part of the entire "Book of Songs", there are a total of 5 poems, they are "That", "Liezu", "Xuanniao", "Long Hair" and "Yin Wu". This time, our "Book of Songs" has really come to an end, so let's enjoy it!

"That": The sacrifice of the descendants of the Shang family

The Shang people arose in Shangqiu in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the history of the Shang tribe can be traced back to the matrilineal clan commune period. The ancestor of this tribe is named Qi, and legend has it that when Qi's mother Jian Di was bathing, she suddenly found that the swallow laid an egg, and Jian Di became pregnant and gave birth to Qi after eating this egg, so in ancient times there was a legend of "Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to business".

During the Xia Dynasty, after Kong Jia ascended the throne as the king of Xia, he ignored the government and politics, did things in a disorderly manner, superstitious about ghosts and gods, and only liked to hunt and have fun, which made the people resentful and the princes rebelled. At this time, the national strength of the Xia Dynasty was weakened, and it was unable to control the development of the power of the vassal states. Among the vassal states of the Xia Dynasty, the power of the Shang State gradually grew. The development of agriculture and animal husbandry, as well as the increase in social wealth, prompted the Shang clan to transition from clan to slavery. In order to develop their power outward and plunder more slaves and property, the Shang tribe migrated twice, once to Yindi, and once from Yindi and back to Shangqiu. By the time of the reign, the Shang State was already a great vassal with the rights of a king.

After the death of the lord, his son Tang ascended the throne, and when Shang Tang ascended the throne as a prince, the ruler of the Xia Dynasty was Ji. Arrogant and lascivious, pampering and trusting ministers, tyrannical and unreasonable, and brutally oppressing and enslaving the people and the Fangguo tribe to which they belonged, aroused widespread hatred and opposition. The rule of the Xia Dynasty was stormy, and the state gradually weakened.

In the early days of Xia Wei's ascension to the throne, he had the ambition and ambition to revitalize the Xia Dynasty, and he was invincible and invincible, and the princes were very afraid and surrendered. Carried away by the constant military victories, he compares himself to the sun and begins to become violent and unreasonable. The virtuous minister Guan Longfeng admonished many times, and he was very angry and put Guan Longfeng to death. Taishi Ling Zhonggu cried and gave the evil omen of divination to Ji, who disdained it. When Gu finally fled to Shang, Shang Tang was overjoyed and told all the princes about it, and Shang Tang chose this favorable time and began to prepare for the destruction of Xia.

In order to prepare for the destruction of the Xia Dynasty, Shang Tang expanded Shangqiu and called it Boyi, where he settled and created favorable conditions for the battle to destroy the Xia. Shang Tang accumulated grain and grass, recruited men and horses, and trained troops in Boyi. Originally, the Marquis of Shang was once granted the right to conquer by the Xia Dynasty, and who he wanted to conquer could have the right to send troops without the approval of the Xia King. But it was not the ordinary princes that Tang was preparing to conquer, but the Xia Dynasty, which ruled the country. In order to weaken the power of the Xia Dynasty, remove the obstacles to the destruction of the Xia, and win more princes to rebel against the Xia Dynasty, he first started with Geguo, a neighbor of the Shang State.

Ge was a vassal state to the west of Boyi, and it was not large among the vassal states to which the Xia Dynasty belonged. Ge Bo was a slave owner who was loyal to Xia Ji, and was the eyes and ears of Xia Ji in the vassal states of the Eastern Region. Tang feared that Ge Bo would hinder him from destroying the Xia Dynasty, so he reported his activities to Xia Wei, and Tang wanted to win over Ge Bo to stop working for Xia Wei and assist the Shang State in the destruction of the Xia Dynasty. Ge Bo is a lazy person, and he is unwilling to carry out even the sacrifices to the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth, which are regarded as national events.

When Tang learned that Gerber hadn't held a sacrifice for a long time, he sent messengers to inquire why. Ge Bo was very cunning, and knew that the animal husbandry in the Shang country was developed, and there were a large number of cattle and sheep, so he said: It is not that we do not understand the importance of sacrifice, but we have to use many cattle and sheep for each sacrifice, and we have no cattle and sheep now, so what can we sacrifice to?

The Shang attendant reported Gebo's words to Tang, and after hearing this, Tang sent someone to select a large herd of fat cattle and sheep to send to Gebo. Ge Bo saw that Shang Tang believed his lies, and actually got a lot of cattle and sheep, so he killed all the cattle and sheep and ate them, but he still did not sacrifice. Tang learned that Ge Bo did not sacrifice again, and sent a messenger to Ge again to inquire about the reason for not sacrificing. He also said, "We can't grow grain in our fields, and we don't have wine and rice as tribute, so of course we can't hold sacrifices." Tang learned that Ge Bo was a man who did not care about the people's production and only knew pleasure, so he sent people from Bo to Ge Di to help the people of Ge to grow crops.
