Chapter 34 The Duke of Zhou divides the princes
readx;? In the sixth year of King Cheng of Zhou, King Cheng of Zhou (actually presided over by Duke Zhou) divided and inspected the princes of Qiyang, the hometown of Duke of Zhou. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Gong's career reached its peak.
The Duke of Zhou implemented the policy of feudal statehood, and he successively established seventy-one feudal states, and divided the brothers and meritorious heroes of King Wu into feudal states to be princes, so as to defend the royal family. In addition, the well-field system was widely implemented in the feudal country, and the land was planned in a unified manner, which consolidated and strengthened the economic foundation of the Zhou Dynasty.
Lü Shangyuan was named the Marquis of Qi, and the capital was Yingqiu (now Linzibei, Shandong). The land that the Duke of Zhou gave to Lü Shang was "east to the sea, west to the river, south to Muling, and north to Wudi." At the same time, it also has the privilege of expropriating and exclusively, "Five marquis and nine uncles, and they can really be levied." "There are many small countries near Yingqiu, and when Lu Shang (Qi Taigong) was sealed, the Dongyi Lai people fought with him for land. The state of Qi successively destroyed these small states and became a large country in the east.
Zhao Gongxiao was renamed in Northern Yan because of his merits, and was the ancestor of the later Yan Kingdom. However, he sent his eldest son, Ji Ke, to govern, and he remained in Hokyung as an auxiliary minister. In fact, at that time, the Northern Yan was still in the hands of the hostile forces of Zhou, and Ji Ke was only sealed after the rebellion was quelled, and the capital was built in Jiji (around Beijing). Yan was the barrier to the northeast of the Zhou Dynasty. Its establishment can cut off the connection between the old Yin Shang clan and his northern Guzhu country with the same surname, and it can also get close to the Sushen tribe in the Songhua River, Heilongjiang River, and Liaohe River. Many Shang and Zhou bronzes have been found in Beijing and southern Liaoning. It was confirmed that Yan at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty indeed ruled over the vast territory of the north.
In the rebellion of the three prisons, Weizi did not participate. After Zhou Pingping's rebellion, he ordered him to represent the descendants of the Yin people, replace the original Yin of Wu Geng, worship the first prince and first king of Yin, and establish the country in the Song (Shangqiu, Henan), and later the Song became a famous power.
To the west of the Song Dynasty, there was a descendant of Xia Yu (a descendant of Xia Yu, now Qi County, Henan). In the southwest, there is Chen (a descendant of Yu Shun, now Huaiyang, Henan), and there are some small countries in the north. The Song was surrounded by various countries. This shows that Song was still under the tight control of Zhou.
In addition to the deposed state of Guan Shuxian (Ji Xian), the third brother of the Duke of Zhou, the fifth brother Cai Shudu (Ji Du), was succeeded by his son Zhong, and the seventh brother Huo Shuchu (Ji Shu) was succeeded by his son.
The sixth brother of the Duke of Zhou, Shu Wu (Ji Wu), was sealed in Yu (left into right) (now Shangbei, Wen, Shandong).
Zhou Gong's ninth brother, Mao Shu Zheng (Ji Zheng), was sealed in Mao, that is, Mao Yigong.
The tenth brother of the Duke of Zhou, Ran Jizai (Ji Zai), was sealed in the Dan Kingdom (Yingzhou, Henan), as Zhou Sikong to assist King Zhou Cheng.
Uncle Gao, the eleventh brother of Duke Zhou, was sealed in Gao.
Zhou Gong's twelfth brother Yongbo, sealed in Yong.
The thirteenth brother of the Duke of Zhou, Cao Shu Zhenduo (Ji Zhenduo), was sealed in Cao.
The fourteenth brother of the Duke of Zhou, the wrong uncle embroidered (Ji embroidery), sealed in Teng.
Zhou Gong's fifteenth brother Bi Gonggao (Ji Gao), Feng is vulnerable to Bi (Xianyang, Shaanxi).
The sixteenth brother of Zhou Gong, Yuan Bo, was sealed in the original (Jiyuan City, Jiaozuo, Henan).
The seventeenth brother of the Duke of Zhou, the Marquis of Xu, was sealed in Yu.
Uncle Xun, the eighteenth brother of Duke Zhou, was sealed in Xun.
Cai, Yun, Huo, Lu, Wei, Mao, Dan, Gao, Yong, Cao, Teng, Bi, Yuan, Xu, Xun, Wen Zhizhao. All of these countries were under the rule of Wenzhi and were generally located in the interior, or in areas under the strong control of the Zhou Dynasty.
Yu, Ying, Jin, Han, these four feudal states are the fiefs of the sons of King Wu of Zhou, except for Jin (Tang) by King Zhou Cheng, the other three kingdoms are all sealed by the Duke of Zhou, and they are all older than King Zhou Cheng's concubines, and only Tang Shuyu and King Zhou Cheng are born to the same mother.
Zhou Gongdan's sons were also divided:
The second son, Jun Chen, inherited the fiefdom of Zhou Gong Zhou, and served in the court, and this hereditary Zhou mining has always been called "Zhou Gong", and the later Zhou Gong is after Zhou Gongdan. The situation of Zhao Gong is similar to that of Zhou Gong, although one created the Yan Kingdom, but there is also one, the hereditary Zhao Caiyi, which has always been called "Zhao Gong".
The third son, Fanbo, was sealed in Fan.
The fourth son, Jiang Boling, was sealed in Jiang.
The fifth son of Uncle Peng was sealed in the punishment (Xingtai, Hebei).
The sixth son of Maohou was sealed in Mao.
The seventh son, Uncle Xuan, was sealed in Xuan.
The eight sons sacrificed to the uncle, sealed in the sacrifice.
It can be seen that Zhou Gong is not shy about seeking benefits for his family at all.
In addition to these relatives, the Duke of Zhou also made some meritorious heroes princes.
Bai Gao, a descendant of the ancient Bai Huang clan (one of the Fuxi clans), was divided into the ancient Bai Zi Kingdom as a courtier of the Yellow Emperor during the Yellow Emperor period. Its capital city Baiting, in the area of Xie Gudong Village, Yinji Town, Wugang City, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, the south gate of the capital city is in the east of Xiaowan Village, and the ruins of the ancient Baiguo city on the east bank of Tiangang Reservoir are more than 2,000 meters long, which is where the west gate of the ancient Baiguo is located, and then the Baiguo gradually disappeared.
In the regency period of the Duke of Zhou, Jun Bai, a descendant of the Bai Huang clan, was appointed as a prince after the post of the imperial servant, plus the ancient emperor, and the fief was Bai (Xiping County, Zhumadian City, Henan).
Zhou Gong put forward the first norm of "Mingde and prudent punishment" in culture, and formulated a complete etiquette and ceremony, in addition, Zhou Gong once proposed "respecting virtue and protecting the people", making rituals and music, and establishing a code system. His remarks can be found in various articles of the "Book of Shang", such as "Golden Silk" and "Wuyi". Zhou Gong also contributed to the creation of the I Ching. The Duke of Zhou was revered by Confucius and revered as a saint by Confucianism. Zhou Gong thought played a foundational role in the formation of Confucianism, and Confucianism in the Han Dynasty called Zhou Gong and Confucius together.
"Li" emphasizes "don't", that is, the so-called "respect"; The function of "music" is "harmony", that is, the so-called "kissing". Differences and harmony are the two aspects of consolidating the unity within the Zhou people.
Confucius once said: "Zhou because of the Yin ceremony, the profit and loss can be known", the early Zhou ritual music is followed by the Xia, Shang, however, at the beginning of the Zhou, by the Zhou Gong led by the Western Zhou nobles have been determined, supplemented, and gathered, and gradually become a legal system.
"The Book of Rites, Rituals" cloud: "Three hundred rituals, three thousand rituals." The ceremonial music of Xia and Shang is mainly used for worship and celebrations; "Xunzi Treatise on Etiquette" cloud: "The heavens and the earth, respecting the ancestors and the monarch are the three books of etiquette." The ritual music revised by the Zhou Gong was mainly used to maintain the social hierarchy and promote moral ideals, and it is not so much the Zhou Gong system of ritual music as the Zhou Gong reformed the Yin rites to adapt to the nascent regime.
Rites originated very early. The word "li" has appeared in the oracle bone inscription in the Yin Shang period, according to the "Shuowen Jiezi" ceremony, the performance is also, so the gods also judge that the original rite is just a specific ritual for people to pray for ghosts and gods.
The central issue to be solved by the rites is the distinction between the noble and the low, that is, the patriarchal system, and further the establishment of the inheritance system. Due to the lack of a strict inheritance system, although the Duke of Zhou can be called the "King of Xian", Guan and Cai can also betray the royal family because of the struggle for the throne.
Xiaobang Zhou can't help but consider the lessons of Dabangyin, not to mention that Duke Zhou knows Xia Yin's history well. Judging from the limited number of ancestors and brothers, the Yin Dynasty was divided into concubines, and the sons were valued by the mother.
