readx;? According to the records of "Zhou Benji" and "Wu Taibo's Family" in the "Historical Records", the ancestor of the Zhou family, Gu Gong's father, felt that his young son Ji Li was the most virtuous, and what was more valuable was that Ji Li's son Ji Chang had the sign of Shengrui.

Taibo knew that Gu Gong wanted to establish Ji Li so that he could pass it on to Chang in the future, so he made it clear to Gu Gong's father that he would give up the status of heir and be willing to assist Ji Li's will, but the tradition of the Zhou people was that the eldest son was the descendant (completely different from the brother and brother of the Shang Dynasty), and Gu Gong's father did not want to violate this tradition, and the inheritance of the eldest son was the core value of the Zhou family to maintain the Zhou rites, so Gu Gong's father did not agree with this opinion. Taibo expressed his intention to abdicate three times, but he was rejected by Gu Gong's father. This is the story of Tai Bo Sanrang, so Tai Bo's virtue spread all over the world, and everyone praised Tai Bo.

If we do not consider this issue from the aspect of quality and virtue, but from the aspect of origin, we will know that there is also a reason for the saying that Chang is called "Holy Son" and "Shengrui". This is Ji Li's wife, Queen Wen's mother Tairen from Yin Shang, and she is a prominent member of the Shang Wangjinei clan.

This marriage elevated Ji Li's status among the Zhou people, Ji Li was prominent because of his wife, and Wen Wangchang was noble because of his mother. Lijili and even King Wen are conducive to the political relationship with the Shang people, which is conducive to the development of the Zhou people, which is the political intention of Gu Gong's father, and for the development of the Zhou people, the interests of Taibo and Zhongyong must be sacrificed.

If the matter ends here, maybe Uncle Tai is not really giving way, but selling his reputation, but Uncle Tai proves his determination to give way with practical actions. In order to abdicate the throne without violating the Zhou ritual tradition inherited by the eldest son, Taibo fled to the place where the Jing barbarians of the southern tribe lived, followed the local customs, and was tattooed to show that he had become a barbarian, and Huayi Dafang naturally could no longer become the monarch of the Huaxia tribe, so as to avoid the seasonal calendar.

Taibo fled to Jingman, claiming to be Ju Wu.

Wu Taibo, a Wu Taibo, surnamed Ji, the eldest son of the leader of the Zhou tribe, Gu Gong, and the first monarch of the Wu State. Gu Gong's father wanted to pass on the throne to Ji Li and his son Ji Chang (i.e., King Wen of Zhou), but Tai Bo Nai and Zhong Yong gave up the throne of the third brother Ji Li and fled to Jingman.

It is said that on the way, it once passed through Jiuquan Mountain in Taihang Zezhou (Wuwang Mountain in Jincheng City, Shanxi), and was renamed Wuwang Mountain in later generations to commemorate it. According to the Ming Dynasty's "Zezhou Mansion Chronicles", "Wushenshan County is six miles southwest of Jinpu, that is, the branch of Jinpu, and the temple worships Taibo Zhongyong." Legend has it that apricot trees are planted here to purify the folk customs.

After Taibo and Zhong Yong avoided Jingman, they settled in Meili (Wuxi, Jiangsu). Tai Bo called himself Gou Wu. The Jing barbarians admired his noble character, and there were thousands of families who followed and attached to him, and he was proclaimed the local monarch, called Wu Taibo. Wu Taibo was regarded as the ancestor of the Eastern Wu culture by later generations. The land of Wuyue respects Taibo as its ancestor, and there is a Taibo temple in today's Wuxi Meili. Confucius exclaimed: "Taber, it can be said that it is also the most virtuous. Third, let the world let it, and the people have nothing to gain and be praised. ”

Legend has it that after Taibo set the capital of Meili, he vigorously built water conservancy and developed agricultural production.

Bodu River, formerly known as Taibodu, after Wu Taibo established the Gouwu State in Meili, in order to irrigate, flood discharge, the first artificial river in Chinese history was excavated "Bodu River". With a history of more than 3,000 years and a total length of 43 kilometers, the Bodu River flows through Fangqian from Meicun to Goose Lake. During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu attacked Chu in the west, and King Wu sent a northern expedition to Qi, both of which passed through the Bodu River. A section of Qingming Bridge in Wuxi is commonly known as "Bodu Port", and it is a hundred Dudu Port. The excavation of the Bodu River has benefited the local people.

Taibo Ben Wu brought the seeds of Central Plains civilization to the backward Jiangdong region. In the new living environment, Taibo was not afraid of hardships and had the courage to open up, and in a few years, the people became rich and finally firmly established themselves in the southeast region. Lay the foundation for the powerful state of Wu in later generations.

Wu Renying's couplet believes that Taibo "has different ambitions, conquest and punishment, and makes two worlds, and the same merit opens up the Guangbei Jiangnan." "Tai Bo San's merits in making the world and developing Jiangnan are admired by later generations. Sima Qian believed that Wu was the most senior country with the surname of Ji in the Western Zhou Dynasty among the vassal states, and his "Wu Taibo Family" ranked first among all the "families" in the "Historical Records".

After Taibo fled, Zhong Yong was also set up as the heir according to tradition, but Zhong Yong also gave up the status of heir for the strength of the Zhou Dynasty, fled to Taibo, who had already gained a firm foothold, was tattooed, and also became a barbarian, so Ji Li became the only heir of Gu Gong's father. After the death of Gu Gong's father, the Zhou clan also embarked on a stronger road under the leadership of Ji Li.

Tai Bo had no children, and was buried at the southern foot of Huangshan (later known as Hongshan) in Meilidong (Hongsheng Town), and was succeeded by his younger brother Zhongyong.

Legend has it that after the death of Taibo, the Wu people were all grief-stricken and cried loudly. The people rushed to lay flowers to his body, and suddenly the mountains were full of wild flowers and plants. Many of the latecomers could not bear to return empty-handed, gathered to discuss, Tai Bo liked to plant hemp the most during his lifetime, so everyone picked a bundle of hemp and tied it around the waist to express people's admiration and mourning. This custom has been passed down for thousands of years, and has been spread among the people to this day, thus forming the funeral custom of the Chinese nation to wear linen and filial piety for the deceased elders.

In order to commemorate the immortal exploits of this great pioneer, Wu people converted his residence in Meili into an ancestral temple, which is the Taibo Temple.

Taibo Temple, also known as Zhide Temple and Rangwang Temple, is located on the bank of the Bodu River in Meicun Town, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province. In the second year of Yongxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty (154), Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty ordered Wu County to guard the leopard in Taibo's former residence in order to commemorate Wu Taibo.

The famous poet Tortoise Meng of the Tang Dynasty once had a poem "He Taibo Temple" to praise it: "The old city is barren and desolate, and every year Jiaozun is wet in the middle hall." Father and son fight for the world, and they don't believe that there is a king in the world. "Later generations of Sao people and inkmen, there are many poems and inscriptions of the Taibo Temple.

The existing Taibo temple is the building of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the temple front stands in the light of the pool, and the single-hole arched stone bridge is erected on the pool, and the name is "Xianghua Bridge". The granite stone archway in the north of the bridge is engraved with the words "to the famous state of Germany". The north of the stone altar is the Lingxing Gate, there are six stone pillars erected, 6 meters high, there are cloud dragons, cranes carved ornaments. Lingxing Gate is the first building of Taibo Temple, with three rooms. There is a courtyard next to the box, nine rooms in the east and west. There is still one ancient cypress and one laurel tree in the courtyard. [10]

In 1983, when the temple was renovated, a statue of Taibo was sculpted, with a height of 4.5 meters. 28 statues of the descendants of Taibo and Zhongyong. In 1987, Lu Dingyi and Zhao Puchu inscribed the plaques of "Taibo Temple" and "Zhide Gaofeng" respectively. Next to the Taibo Temple, the archway of "the first ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River" is erected, and the "Taibo Garden" is being built. On May 25, 2006, as an ancient building in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Taibo Temple and Tomb were approved by the State Council to be included in the list of the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
