Gan Pan was one of the ten ministers with more deeds during the Wuding period. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info about the courtiers of Wu Ding, and there are only two people recorded in the history books, Ganpan and Fu Shuo, but Ganpan is seen in Bu Ci, called "Shi-like", and Fu Shuo is not seen in Bu Ci. There is no word "minister" in the divination, only "small minister", this "small minister" is equivalent to the later minister, and the status is quite high, such as Shang Tang's Xiang Yiyin, whose official position is Baoheng, is also known as "small minister".

There are indeed a lot of division-like duties, and he participates in many activities, running for the king of Shang, and is a close minister of the king of Shang, Wuding. Hu Houxuan said: "Therefore, those who know that they are close to their ministers, they are like teachers, and they are like teachers and misfortunes, or they are like teachers, or they are like teachers, or they are like teachers, or they are like teachers, they are like teachers, they are like teachers, they are ”

In the mind of Shang King Wuding, his status is very important, so he is also very concerned about him.

According to the research of scholars throughout history, Gan Pan is the ancestor of the Gan family, or the first person with the name of Gan left a name in history. Books such as "Surname Compilation" and "Family Tree Genealogy" pointed out in unison: "Gan, after Wu Dingchen Ganpan". And Ganpan's surname, Xia has Ganguo with the country as the surname, that is, there was Ganguo in the Xia Dynasty, and Ganpan is undoubtedly the person in the place, with the country as the surname, just like Emperor Yan with Jiang Shui as the surname.

Gan Pan and Fu said that they were two famous virtuous ministers during the Shang Dynasty's Gaozong Wuding. Gan Pan was originally a hermit, but Fu Shuo was still a prisoner who was convicted of "Xu Mi" hard labor.

According to the "Historical Records: Yin Benji":

Emperor Wuding ascended the throne and thought of reviving Yin, but did not get his support. Silent for three years, the political affairs were decided by Tsukasa to observe the national style. Wu Ding dreamed of a saint at night, and his name said. Seeing the ministers and hundreds of officials in a dream, it is not either. Therefore, it is to make the wilderness of hundreds of workers camp, and it has to be said that it is in the danger. It is sometimes said that it is Xu Mi and built in Fu Risk. Seen in Wu Ding, Wu Ding said yes. You have to talk to it, the fruit of the saint, take it as a phase, and the country of Yin will be governed. This incident is recorded in books such as "Mozi", "Chinese", "Lü's Spring and Autumn", "Imperial Century", and "Shangshu", and the content is similar.

When Wu Ding was young, his father Xiaoyi let him live in the folk and knew the people's suffering. Later, when Wu Ding ascended the throne of Shang and kept filial piety for three years without saying anything (not not by not speaking, but by not expressing his position on political affairs), political affairs were decided by Gan Pan and the elders, but Wu Ding hoped that talented real cronies would assist him.

In 1331 BC (the third year of Wu Ding), Wu Ding found the prisoner Fu Shuo (Yue) in Fu Xian (Pinglu County, Shanxi), and his talent led Wu Ding to think that he had found a real right-hand man. But Fu Shuo's status was too low, so Wu Ding could only use the name of the saint who had been inspired by the night dream and the auxiliary government, so he told his subordinates to visit the saint, and finally after a while he pretended to find the saint, and officially introduced Fu Shuo into the court, and in order to prevent a backlash, he had to appoint only the status of an ordinary minister, of course, it was also a test for Fu Shuo.

In 1328 BC (the sixth year of Wu Ding), after three years of political tests, Wu Ding officially appointed Fu Shuo to replace Gan Pan as the secretary (prime minister), of course, Gan Pan's status did not change, but Gan Pan, as a teacher, no longer struggled on the political front, but went to the fief for the princes.

"Historical Records of Justice" records that "in the city, King Yin and Wuding were all established. ”

After Wu Ding officially took power, the national strength was strong, in order to strengthen the northern resistance to Rong Di's troops, it was decided to move the capital from Xi'an (Yanshi City, Luoyang, Henan) on the south bank of the Yellow River to the north bank of the Yellow River (Hebi Qi County, Henan), and establish the capital, which was the first time that Wei built the city, so the descendants called it Wuding City.

However, soon after the city was built, due to the flooding of the Yellow River, the construction had to be stopped, and the capital was abandoned.

Later, Wu Ding moved the capital from Wei to nearby Beimeng (Anyang, Henan) and renamed it Yin, and after the prosperity of the Wu Ding era, it has developed into one of the largest and most prosperous capitals in the world in the late Shang Dynasty.

In modern times, people excavated a large number of ancient relics in the area of Xiaotun Village in Anyang, proving that it was once the site of the capital of the Shang Dynasty, and the most Shang Dynasty oracle bone inscriptions were unearthed here, which had many records of the place name Yin, so it was called "Yin Ruins", so later generations called the Shang Dynasty "Yin" or "Yin Shang" after the oracle bone inscription was excavated. The actual Shang is the real clan name, while Yin is the place name, which only appeared in the Wuding period, and the two should not be confused.

In 1322 BC (the twelfth year of Wu Ding), Wu Ding sacrificed to the ancestor Shangjiawei (the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty who created "Returning to Tibet", as mentioned above).

The next day, a pheasant flew up to the top and chirped in his ears, and Wu Ding was frightened. The minister Zuji said: "Don't worry, king, hurry up and get the political affairs done first." So Zu Ji enlightened Wu Ding and said: "Heaven supervises the people, and the morality of the people is the standard. The life span given by God to the people is long and short, and it is not that the angels die in their lives, but that the people themselves cut themselves off. There are people who violate morality, do not admit their sins, and Heaven sends a decree to correct their behavior. Then he said, 'What should be done?' The king only needs to do things for the people, there is nothing that is not inherited from the will of heaven, and there is a custom in sacrifice, and do not believe in methods that should be abandoned. ”

After that, Wu Ding began to cultivate political affairs, the implementation of moral politics, diligent in political affairs, in the prisoner Fu Shuo and Ganpan, Zuji and other virtuous people under the auxiliary government, make great efforts, so that the Shang Dynasty political, economic, military, cultural development has been unprecedented, the people of the world are happy and happy, so that the Shang Dynasty flourished again, the history is called "Wu Ding prosperous era".

King, Yin Zhi Daren also. Strive to follow the royal road, dare not be wasted, Jiajing Yinbang, as for the small and big, there is no time or resentment. It is the land of the times, the east is not the river, the yellow, the west is not Di, Qiang, the south is not Jingman, the north is not Shuofang, and the ode is made, and the ceremony is abolished and revived.

At that time, the power of the Shang Dynasty did not cross the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the east, did not cross the Qiang in the west, did not cross Hubei in the south, and did not cross Shuofang in the north, but the praise of the Shang king Wuding had spread outside these areas.

Archaeological data also show that the 59 years of Wu Ding's reign were the most prosperous period of the Shang Dynasty.

Wu Ding's political initiatives include both political and military aspects:

Politics:

1 official

For the new territory, it may be directly given to the generals who are conquering, such as the elephant finch will be named "the bird marquis", or the local subordinate clan leaders will be Hou Bo, Xiang Dog Hou, Zhu Bo, etc. In the oracle bone inscription, there are more than 50 marquis, and nearly 40 bo, which is quite a lot, which can also show how many clans and countries were conquered by Shang. In addition, the clan Fang State that was subject to Shang not only had an obligation to pay tribute to the dynasty, but also was often ordered to conquer, such as Canghou Hu was ordered by the king to cut down Fang, and Hou Xu was also ordered by the king to destroy Fang.
