In the same year, due to the threat of Dongyi, Emperor Yi moved the capital from Yin (Anyang, Henan) to Qi (Hebiqi County, Henan).
Di Yi's eldest son, Wei Ziqi's mother, had a humble status, so she couldn't make him his heir. The mother of the young son Di Xin was the main family, so Di Yi established Di Xin as his heir, which was the later king of Shang. According to the records of "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" and "Imperial Century", Wei Ziqi and Di Xin are the same brothers, when Wei Ziqi was born, his mother was still a concubine, and Di Xin was born after being made queen. Emperor Yi wanted to make him his heir because Wei Ziqi was older, and Taishi thought that Wei Ziqi was a concubine and Di Xin was a concubine according to the etiquette law, so Di Xin was established as an heir.
In the year, Emperor Yi once again led the princes to expedition to Yifang, arriving at Hire (Heze Juancheng County, Shandong), Qi (Zibo, Shandong) and other places, and in March of the year, the victory class division. On the way back to the division, Di Yi died of illness.

> Egyptian New Kingdom period (dynasty, year)
Due to the continuous use of foreign troops during the New Kingdom, Egypt doubled its territory, so this period is also called the period of the Egyptian Empire.
Handicrafts:
First of all, in the smelting industry: the appearance of foot-operated bellows in Egypt increased the efficiency of smelting, the widespread use of casting methods, and the smelting speed of bronze and iron was greatly increased, and iron was also used in the New Kingdom, but it was relatively rare, and it was only in 1000 BC that the Egyptians began to smelt steel themselves.
Secondly, in the textile industry, flax and wool were mostly used as raw materials, and the vertical loom also replaced the horizontal loom of the Middle Kingdom.
Thirdly, in the construction industry: the scale of personnel is huge, the construction level is high, and most of them are made of stone and raw bricks.
Finally, glassmaking: The glass manufacturing industry in Egypt during the New Kingdom made not only tinted glass, but also colorless clear glass.
Agriculture:
The Egyptians invented a device for lifting water, the "Shaduff", which increased the feasibility of agricultural highland development.
Business Aspects:
During the New Kingdom, precious metals began to increase as a means of circulation, lending relations also developed greatly, and some real merchants began to appear, but the level of commodity trading in Egypt was not very sufficient, and barter was still relatively common. Temples, nobles, and royal families also possess large amounts of real estate and precious metals, the economy is still extremely closed, and foreign trade is controlled by the state.
Politics:
During the New Kingdom, Egyptian officials were not elected from the royal family alone, as in the past, but from the entire slave-owning class. Under the king, the vizier (chief minister) remained the supreme governor, but his powers were divided into two, and the official residence was located in two places: one to administer Upper Egypt and Nubia, and the other to administer Lower Egypt and the Western Asian dependencies.
The vizier was mainly responsible for administrative, judicial, and religious affairs, and even land litigation, distribution of family property, agricultural production, wills, taxation and servitude. The vizier of Upper Egypt was more powerful, and during the king's expedition, he acted as a superintendent.
Under the vizier, there were also officials who managed the southern fortresses, northern ports, and officials who were in charge of land affairs.
Nome was still the administrative unit of the locality, and the power of the magistrate, Nomaz, was much less than before, no longer hereditary, but was appointed by the central government.
The army of the New Kingdom included not only native Egyptians, but also some foreign mercenaries known as "shaldan". In addition, charioteers were also widely used in Egypt, often by the children of wealthy families.
In the conquered areas, Egypt usually implemented a policy of "razing by razing", and the children of the local indigenous princes were brought to Egypt to learn Egyptian culture, after which these Egyptians were sent back to the area to exercise strong rule over Egypt.
The Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt was the first dynasty of the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt and the most powerful dynasty in the history of ancient Egypt. Among the 31 dynasties of ancient Egypt, this dynasty is the one that lasts the longest, has the largest territory, and has the most national power. The most famous ancient Egyptian dynasty of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt was also known as the Thutmose Dynasty because of its four Thutmose pharaohs.
The Eighteenth Dynasty had many of Egypt's most famous pharaohs, Tutankhamun, Hatshepsut, Ehnathon, Neferti, etc.
Most of the capitals were located in Thebes, and the mausoleums were built in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of Thebes.
The Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt lasted for a total of years. From Amos I to Horanheb, there were fourteen monarchs.
The Eighteenth Dynasty enabled Egypt to rise from the fragmentation caused by the Hyksos invasion, not only restored unity, but also began a large-scale outward expansion movement, its sphere of influence, from southern Danubia (Ethiopia) to Palestine and Syria in the north, established the first world-class empire across Asia and Africa, and for the first time closely linked the civilizations of West Asia and North Africa. This dynasty also saw the first recorded Reformation in world history.
During the reign of Amos, the younger brother of King Carmos of the Seventeenth Dynasty and the first pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, he succeeded in expelling the Hyksos and unifying Upper and Lower Egypt, and the powerful Eighteenth Dynasty was established. During this period, Egypt was called an empire, and within a century its influence extended into Asia, and many nominally independent countries recognized Egypt as its lordship. Nubia, located at the fifth waterfall in the upper reaches of the Nile in Africa, was also annexed to Egypt.
The Egyptians began frequent trade with northern Syria and southern Africa. The previous pharaohs also eliminated hostile local powers in the country and established a centralized political and military power over the pharaohs. This pattern of centralization lasted for almost 500 years and allowed the Egyptian dynasty to survive several crises, such as the coup d'état of Thutmose I, the regency of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, etc.
