Chapter 667: Daji Chapter (Extra) I

Daji in History:

Daji (?) - c. 1046 B.C.), his surname, Su, and the character Da. There are Su tribesmen, born in the country of Su (now Wen County, Henan Province), known as "Su Daji". Father unknown (in "Romance of the Gods", it is Hou Suhu of Jizhou), the concubine of Emperor Xin (King of Shang). Daji is the spoils brought back by Emperor Xin when he conquered the Su tribe, because Da Ji has even flesh and bones, and his eyebrows are delicate, and he won the favor of Emperor Xin, and since then the two have indulged in the sound of dogs and horses, and the king of Wu has killed Daji.

In "Romance of the Gods", Su Daji is a well-known vixen. According to the literature, Su Da did have her own person, and it was not made up by storytellers and craftsmen since the Song and Ming dynasties. Evidence of its objective existence can be found in books such as "Shangshu" and "Historical Records". Su Da is a human being, not a vixen, but how can she evolve into a synonym for a vixen thousands of years after her death?

Su Daji is the daughter of the leader of the Su tribe. There is the Su tribe, which was a half-farming and half-pastoral clan commune during the Shang period, paying tribute to the Shang Dynasty every year. The range of activities of this tribe is in the area of today's Wuzhi County, Henan.

The king of Shang is actually called Di Xin, and the character is artificially added by later generations in order to reflect his tyranny. The king of Shang is handsome and dashing, eloquent, and most importantly, he can fight wars and be good at conquest, and in contemporary times, he is suitable to be a foreign minister or defense minister. In his life, he came to power in his thirties, and then fought in the south and the north, and the east and west, opening up the territory of the Shang Dynasty. At that time, the expansion of the territory was not for the dictatorship of the central government, but only for the purpose of having more tax-paying countries and solving the financial problems within the Shang Dynasty. After a long period of this dynasty, the ruling class will inevitably be bloated, and the ills of previous dynasties will be the same, and the Shang Dynasty will be the same. It's really not good for the king to come out without fighting and find more tribute.

There is a Su tribe and the central merchant army in a short encounter, and they are scared to pee. At that time, there was an advantage in the tribe, that is, it was more democratic, one person, one vote. In the end, it was voted to give the daughter of the tribal leader to the king of Shang. This thing was later called Heqin, but it was not called at that time. Daji, the daughter of the leader of the Su tribe, went over to make peace with her. Daji was a twenty-eight beauty at that time, and she was very beautiful, so of course the king of Shang was happy. Mature old men have two major joys, the first is that they are old and have children, and the second is that they are old husbands and young wives.

However, one of the most important issues cannot be overlooked, when the Shang King got the Su clan Daji, he was almost sixty years old.

At this time, King Wu of Zhou on the Shaanxi side took advantage of the Shang Dynasty's conquest of Dongyi and the emptiness of domestic troops, and directly fought in Muye and destroyed the Shang Dynasty. Later generations of Confucian scholars concluded that the king of Shang was lustful and mediocre, and Su Da had brought disaster to the country and the people.

"The World Says New Words" once recorded that when King Shang died, Su Daji had only been with him for two years, and with his youth and beauty, Zhou Gongdan accepted it. Because ancient China was very principled in warfare, especially the victorious country, not killing the royal family of the previous dynasty. This tradition has been going on for a long time. Shang didn't kill Xia's royal family, and Zhou didn't kill Shang either. The royal family of the Shang Dynasty was sealed in the area of Shangqiu, Henan Province by King Wu of Zhou, and there is also a saying that the brother of the King of Shang was sealed to North Korea and so on.

Why was Su Daji later arranged as a fox spirit? There are a few reasons for this.

The tribal totem of the Su clan is the nine-tailed fox, therefore, he regards Daji as a fox, and over time, he becomes a fox spirit. There is also a saying that the tribal totem of the Su clan is a grass called perilla. This habit of arranging according to homophony was formed by philologists in the late Ming Dynasty and is not advisable. There is a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural tribe of the Su clan, and it is most likely to use animals as totems. Therefore, there is also a source to say that Su Daji is a fox.

King Wu of Zhou and the others deliberately arranged the king of the merchant to prove that the people were good women. One of the most interesting things about ancient Chinese history is that the emperors of the last dynasty were always faint, and the emperors of the first dynasty were probably virtuous. Is that really the case? Not necessarily. In Confucius's "Analects", I have to admit that King Wu of Zhou is not a good person. Of course, the fact that Confucius's ancestors were descendants of the Shang Dynasty is also very interesting. The Shang Dynasty orchestrated Xia Wei to be lustful, and the Zhou Dynasty arranged Shang Xuan, which can be regarded as a reincarnation for hundreds of years, and the debts owed must be repaid. Mr. Lu Xun said that Chinese history is repetitive, which can be seen. History, that is, if you talk too much, it will naturally come true. Then, Su Daji, a woman from a good family, was also scandalized, and later, as the word fox spirit became more and more junior and goddaughter, the three words "Su Daji" became synonymous with fox spirit.

Until the end of the nineteenth century, the beginning of the twentieth century, archaeologists excavated many relics of the Yin Shang period in Xiaotun Village, Anyang City, Henan Province, including jade, bronze, especially tortoise shells and animal bones engraved with a large number of words and "divination", so that our understanding of the historical situation before the Zhou Dynasty is far more than the information that Confucius and Sima Qian could contact at that time, before the true appearance of Daji and the Shang Emperor Xin, With an assessment that is close to the truth. His correct name should be "Dixin".

Emperor Xin has a strong temperament, good for his own use, Emperor Xin is more than 30 years old, when the Shang Dynasty has been founded for 600 years, and the national strength is strong. Wufu Minfeng, Emperor Xin blood and gas Fang Gang, Kong Wu is powerful, capable of fierce beasts, brave and brave, and can speak well, but also Tongyin law, good sex, more rigid and self-serving, so with abundant national strength and their excess energy, a large development to the southeast, conquer the fertile land of the people's tribe (now Huaihe River Valley), so as to expand the land is not counted, the national prestige is far and wide. In the thirtieth year of his reign, in 1047 BC, he launched an attack on the Yousu tribe. He was over sixty years old.

One of the trophies brought back by the expedition to the Yousu tribe was Daji, when Di Xin was already dying, and Da Ji was a young girl, with even flesh and bones, beautiful eyebrows, and almost explosive fiery charm, which quickly rekindled the flame of his life in the depths of Di Xin's heart. At that time, the Shang Dynasty was very superstitious about ghosts, gods and witches. In order to reward the gods and sacrifice, they often carried battles and dances, drank and sang, and even drank for a long night, almost drunk to death. grew stronger, and many of the princes submitted to him. During the reign of Shang King Wending, Ji Li was named a "priest" and became Xibo. Due to the taboo of power, Ji Li was put under house arrest by Wen Ding and died on a hunger strike, and since then the seeds of hatred have been planted between Zhou and Shang. After Ji Li's death, his son Ji Chang succeeded to the throne, practicing benevolent government, and the country's strength was growing, and the nearby tribes were very convinced, and were feared by the Shang Dynasty.
