Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu Huisheng Lu ends. Lu had six children in his life, and he sued for caesarean section. Its long day is Kunwu, two days Shenhu, three days Peng Zu, four days Huiren, five days Cao surname, six days Ji Lian, half surname, Chu followed also. "Historical Records Suoyin" believes that the name of the "volume" is "Lao Tong". This is slightly different from "The Imperial Line".

Chongli is the grandson of Zhuan, the nephew of Poor Chan, and the grandnephew of Emperor Yu, who built Zhu Rongguo in Xinzheng.

Chongli served as the Huozheng official position of the Emperor Gaoxin (the casting official of bronze weapons and sacrificial vessels, a high and powerful position), and made great contributions, the world heard of his name, and the emperor named his tribe as Zhurong, which is the highest honor of the Huozheng position in history, and there are many tribes that have held the official position of Huozheng in history to get the name of Zhurong.

Emperor Yu was worried that Chongli would continue to grow his power and pose a threat to his position, so at that time, the rest of the Gonggong clan was in turmoil, and Emperor Yu sent Chongli Shuaibu to attack the Gonggong clan, so that it would be beneficial to win or lose. The rest of the Gonggong clan is so easy to fight, although Chongli was defeated, but although the Gonggong clan was defeated, its strength was not reduced, and it adopted the method of dispersed guerrillas, and it was always entangled. Emperor Yu took the opportunity to make trouble and ordered Chongli to be executed on Gengyin Day, and in order not to let people gossip, Chongli's mediocre younger brother Wu Hui was established as the lord of the Zhurong clan, and still served as Huozheng.

Later, in the following year, Emperor Yu led the alliance of princes to defeat and surrender the Gonggong clan, and the Gonggong clan became a member of the princes. In this way, the two major forces that threatened the emperor's throne were subdued by the emperor.

After Chongli was executed, his younger brother Wu Hui was established by the emperor as the leader of the Zhurong tribe. Wu Hui gave birth to a son, Lu Zhong, who married the daughter of the Ghost Fang Country and gave birth to six children, namely: Kunwu, Shenhu, Peng Zu, Huiren, Cao surname, and Ji Lian.

Lu Zhong's eldest son is Kunwu, who inherited the leadership of Lu Zhong's Zhurong tribe, and the tribe settled in Kunwu (Xuchang, Henan), with the name of the country, that is, Kunwu, his surname.

The third son, Peng Zu, established the Great Peng State.

And the sixth son, Ji Lian (銈surname [mi]), was revered as a distant ancestor by the Chu royal family. The descendants of Ji Lian have the surname Ji, the surname Xiong, the surname Mi, the surname Qu, the surname Jing, and the surname Zhao.

Chu Xianmin is a branch of the Huaxia ethnic group (the original name of the Han nationality) moved south, and the original place of origin was in Xinzheng, Henan, that is, the ruins of Zhurong, also known as the ruins of the bear (Xinzheng was also known as the bear in ancient times, and the bear was said to be the name of the Yellow Emperor). The ancestors of the Chu people were first active in the Central Plains of the Yellow River Valley.

During the Xia Dynasty, the ancestors of Chu were allies of the Xia Dynasty.

After the Xia of the Shang Dynasty, the ancestors of Chu were expelled by the Shang Dynasty army and forced to move south.

The "Chu Ju" records that the general migration route of the Chu ancestors was from Xinzheng, Henan, to the southwest of Henan and southeast Shaanxi, and arrived at the confluence of Danshui and Xishui (Danxi Basin) in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After that, it continued southward to the junction of hills and plains near Jingshan. Namely: Henan Xinzheng (Zhurong Ruins) - Tongbai Mountain - Danyang (Zigui County) - Hubei Jingshan.

After the Chu ancestors moved south, they brought advanced Central Plains cultural factors to Chu, and slowly developed Chu culture based on the Shang and Zhou civilizations of the Central Plains, especially the Ji and Zhou civilizations, and formed a set of cultures with certain characteristics.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the leader of the Chu ancestors, Mane Xiong, became the fire master of King Wen of Zhou (the person who held the fire during the sacrifice), and the "Historical Records" recorded: "Mane Xiong Zi Shi Wen Wang", which means "Mane Bear serves King Wen like a son", which shows the respect of the ancestor of Chu to King Wen of Zhou.

Since Ji Lian (about the same time as Peng Zu, who was one of the virtuous ministers of the Shun period) during the Shun Emperor's reign, the chiefs of each generation have left only their names, and their deeds are unknown, until the mane bears who settled after the migration. Fang just briefly recorded it in the history books.

鬻熊 (yuxiong), the surname of Mi, the name bear, also known as bear flea or 芈flea. The descendants of the Zhurong clan are the descendants of Ji Lian, the sixth son of Lu Zhong. At present, one of the earliest known Taoist figures, later generations respectfully called him the bear, the beard, this is the beginning of the descendants to call the sages and sages the son, and then there are Mozi, Sun Tzu, Confucius, Lao Tzu and other sages called the son.

As an outstanding chieftain, Mane Bear is also said to have mastered spells and was a religious wizard of great prestige.

According to ancient records, the bears and the Chu monarchs all took the bear as the clan, but according to the unearthed bronze inscriptions of the Chu State in the late Warring States period, the original character of Mi is 嬭 (nai), and the original character of the bear is 酓 (yan).

Mane Xiong's political proposition of appointing virtuous officials, changing evil and turning to good, and strict rewards and punishments shows that the ancestor of Chu State, Mane Xiong, was an outstanding statesman.

The political proposition of the mantle is, first of all, to follow the "way", and under the premise of practicing the "way", the monarch and the minister meet, trust each other, and accomplish the great cause together. He said: "If a gentleman does not conspire with others, it is already done, and if he conspires with others, there is no reason." "Whether a gentleman who follows the way can be accepted by the monarch depends on whether the monarch is virtuous or mediocre. Therefore, he also said: "Therefore, a gentleman's plan must be used by the way, but not necessarily seen, if he can be faithful, but not if he cannot enter, if he can be believed, but not necessarily believing." This shows that only when the two meet and merge, can the "Tao" be promoted and applied. Therefore, whether the role of a virtuous minister can be played depends on whether the monarch is virtuous or not.

What is the "Tao"? The mantle said: "Issuing government and decrees is the way for the blessings of the world." The decree for the well-being of the people of the world is the "Tao". In the slave society of the late Shang and early Zhou dynasties, it was undoubtedly progressive to put forward the political idea of seeking the well-being of the people of the world. This idea was continued and developed by Confucius more than 500 years later, and became the cornerstone of Confucianism's core ideology, benevolence.

Xiong Li's father, Xiong Xiong (Xiong Flea), was the leader of the Chu ancestors, and it was the black and white juncture in the history of the Zhou Dynasty Shang, and he led the Chu people to turn their backs on the Shang King and go west to the King of Zhou Wen. At that time, the Chu people lived at the confluence of Danshui and Xishui (Danxi River Basin).

At that time, the bears defected to Queen Wen of Zhou, and were valued by King Wen of Zhou, and became the fire master of King Wen of Zhou (the person who held the fire during the sacrifice), and the "Historical Records" recorded: "The bears served King Wen like a son", which shows the respect of the ancestor of Chu to King Wen of Zhou.

At the age of 90, Mane Bear visited King Wen, who regarded him as a highly respected teacher and served as a fire master (official position, the person who bears fire during sacrifices). When King Wu and King Cheng arrived, they all regarded him as a respected division commander. The bears are revered as the ancestors of the bear family.

The famous saying of the bear: issuing government orders is the blessing of the world, which is the way, and the harm of the world is called benevolence.
