The Guzhu people were originally the side branch of the Shang clan, the surname of the sub-family, and gradually separated from the Shang clan and began to live independently. Later, he wandered to the hinterland of Yanshan as a nomadic herder, developed into a stage of simultaneous agriculture and animal husbandry, and settled in the Chaoyang area of present-day Liaoning. The economy and culture are relatively developed, and there is a large number of animal husbandry to raise livestock and agricultural products that can be used to make wine from surplus grain.

In the early years of the founding of the Shang Dynasty (BC1677), the tribes that had meritorious deeds were sealed in March 1677 of the Shang Tang Dynasty, and the Bingyin day of the Shang Tang Dynasty was given to the Motai clan, which was called the Guzhu Marquis. The national capital of the Lone Bamboo Country (Lulong County, Qinhuangdao, Hebei).

In the middle of the Shang Dynasty, the lonely bamboo country was set on the banks of the Dingluan River and the Qinglong River. During this period, the territory of the Guzhu Kingdom gradually moved southward, reaching the Luanhe River in the west, Qinglong County in the north, Jinxi in the east, and Bohai Bay in the south.

The relationship between the Guzhu Kingdom and the Shang Dynasty royal family was quite close for three reasons:

First, the Guzhu monarch Moti and the king of Shang have the same surname.

Second, the relationship between in-laws.

Third, the need for border security.

In the later period of the Shang Dynasty, there was a beautiful talk of Yiqi Rangguo in this country. It turned out that the monarch of Guzhu at that time gave birth to three sons, Guzhu Guojun, the surname of the son, and the name of the eldest son, Yunzi Gongxin, that is, later nicknamed Boyi. The youngest son's name is Zhizi Gongda, that is, he was later nicknamed Shuqi.

Gu Zhujun intended to make Shu Qi his heir and inherit his career. Later, the king of Guzhu died, and according to the common etiquette at that time, the eldest son should be on the throne. But the incorruptible and self-disciplined Boyi said: "My father's last wish should be respected, and the position of the monarch should be made by Shu Qi." So he gave up his throne and fled to a lonely country. Everyone also elected Shu Qi as the monarch. Shu Qi said: "If I become the king, my brother will be unrighteous and the etiquette system will be inconsistent. He also fled to a lonely bamboo country and lived in exile with his eldest brother.

In the absence of any choice, people had no choice but to set up neutrons to inherit the throne. The Confucian school formed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was very appreciative of their behavior, commenting on this kind of thing and saying: "If you can let the country go, you will be benevolent, you will be obedient to your relatives, and your uncle will be respectful to your brother." "I have a high opinion of them.

The ancient sages were good at playing the qin, and Boyi was a guqin master, and the guqin song "Boyi Cao" created by him has been passed down to this day. Before Boyi gave way, he mainly lived in the Yanshan Mountains, and later the Yanshan Mountains have always been many hermitages, and they are good at playing the guqin, so the rhyme of Boyi has been passed on endlessly, and gradually formed a guqin school in this area, called the Yanshan Qin School. The disciples of the Yanshan Qin School have been taught from generation to generation, and the Qin Tao has been passed down from generation to generation, so the Qin style in the Yanshan area is quite prosperous, and there are many hermits who are good at playing the guqin in the depths of Yanshan, and the people of this school of Qin are all headed by Boyi. In the contemporary era, Mr. Wang Yanxi, a guqin master of the Yanshan Qin School, composed the guqin song "Lonely Bamboo Exercise" to praise Boyi.

Boyi Shuqi fled to the coast of the North Sea to live with the Dongyi people.

Hearing the rise of King Wen of Zhou, the lord of the West, the country was stable and production developed rapidly. They said happily: "We should go back from Dongyi, we heard that Xibo's country is very stable and suitable for the elderly." So they made an appointment to go to the kingdom of Zhou.

Ji Chang also admired their virtues and became very good friends with them.

In the winter of the 22nd year of Emperor Xin (1080 BC), Hou Hu of Chong (Guo) secretly told Emperor Xin that Xibo was doing good everywhere and establishing his prestige, and the princes all yearned for him, which was probably not conducive to Shang. Di Xin, who had gradually begun to trust Ji Chang because of Ji Chang's obscurity, saw that the strength of the Zhou State was indeed quite strong, and couldn't help but think of his father Di Yi's advice again, and decided to teach Ji Chang a lesson.

Chongguo (Xi'anhu County, Shaanxi) has a long history, for the father of Yu Kun's feudal country, Emperor Yu's Xia Hou clan, also known as Chong's, that is, the name of the country. After the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, the relationship with the Shang became even closer.

The princes of the Emperor Xin Assembly were on the banks of the Weishui River and conducted military exercises to intimidate the Western princes, including Zhou, and the Xirong tribes.

In the spring of the twenty-third year of Emperor Xin (BC1079), Emperor Xin summoned Xibohou Jichang to return to Chaoge with the exercise army. Ji Chang saw that the soldiers were pressing, and the conditions for confronting the Shang Dynasty were not yet available, so he could only follow Di Xin.

After arriving at Chaoge, Di Xin asked Ji Chang if he had any intention of betraying Shang, and Ji Chang made a sincere and fearful appearance and defended himself, but Di Xin had no real evidence, but he was not at ease, so Ji Chang was placed under house arrest in 羑 (yǒu) (the ruins of Yili City, 4.5 kilometers north of Tangyin County, Anyang, Henan, and the water flows eastward through the north of the city). In this way, Di Xin was relieved and thought that he was at ease.

"Historical Records" records that "King Wen (Ji Chang) detained and played Zhou Yi".

Ji Chang has always had a deep study of gossip, but he has always been obsessed with developing and strengthening the Zhou State and avenging his father, so he has no time for in-depth research. And this time, he was under house arrest by Di Xin, and he could no longer worry about state affairs, but it became a rare opportunity for Ji Chang to study and study.

As mentioned earlier, Fu Xi created the innate gossip, Yu Shun created the Lianshan Yi (Lianshan Bagua), and Shangjiawei created the Guizang Yi (Guizang Bagua).

After Ji Chang's careful study, the gossip of the predecessors was standardized and organized, and it was deduced into sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four hexagrams. It uses simple images and numbers, with the opposing changes of yin and yang, to illustrate the complex social phenomena, showing thousands and even infinite numbers, with the characteristics of showing more with less, more with simplicity, and full of changes. After the inference and interpretation of Zhou Gong and Confucius in later generations, the book "Zhou Yi" that has been passed down to this day was formed. Through the inheritance of generations of literati, scholars and ruling classes, King Wen's "Zhou Yi" has become the source of China's Bible, the hundred schools of thought, and even people's daily life has a close connection with it.

Politically, the Western Zhou Dynasty political system laid down by King Wen of Zhou was the forerunner of China's thousands of years of feudal autocracy and centralization, while the "Zhou Yi" had a profound impact on ancient Chinese traditional culture and great changes, it was the source of the culture of the Chinese nation, changed the trajectory of ancient cultural development, and influenced today's cultural substrate...... In the history of ancient Chinese culture, there has always been the so-called Fuxi painting gossip and King Wen performing sixty-four trigrams. "Historical Records" also believes that the author of "Zhou Yi" is King Wen of Zhou.

Of course, some people questioned the historical events after King Wen of Zhou in the 64 hexagrams of the "Zhou Yi", believing that the hexagram was deduced by King Wen of Zhou, and the words came from the hands of the Duke of Zhou or others. In fact, a classic work like "Zhou Yi" is difficult to complete overnight, and there must be a long process from the prototype to the fullness and perfection, and it must go through many people or even generations of conception, collection, writing, revision, supplementation and polishing before it is possible to form the "Zhou Yi" text we see today. Although there is no conclusive evidence to confirm that the author is King Wen of Zhou, it can at least be inferred that King Wen of Zhou played a crucial role in the process of writing the book "Zhou Yi".
