The history of the Shang Dynasty has always been mysterious and amazing, and the recent release of the movie "Fengshen" has pushed the Shang Dynasty into the public eye.
Although the matter of sealing the gods cannot be accurately proven, the grievances and hatred between Jiang Ziya and the king of Xuan have aroused heated discussions. Is the story between them true? Or is it just a legend?
Jiang Ziya hung in the air with a straight hook to fish, and there was no bait on the hook, which he expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the politics of the reign of King Xu.
He knew that he didn't have enough strength to fight against it for the time being, so he could only use this unique way, hoping to find like-minded sober people in this turbid world. Jiang Taigong fished, and those who wished took the bait.
At the edge of Weishui, King Wen of Zhou finally found Jiang Ziya, and they talked happily, and even invited Jiang Ziya to serve as a national teacher. The next thing, everyone knows, is to cut down.
However, how much do we know about the nature of the king? According to historical records, the young king was very intelligent, eloquent, quick-moving, and powerful, even able to fight beasts with his bare hands unscathed.
Because of the pride and ambition of his youth, the king thought that he was invincible in the world, and that he no longer needed to listen to the advice of his ministers, nor did he need to learn new knowledge, and he thought that his mistakes were insignificant compared to his own ingenuity.
In addition, his nature likes to drink, ** uninhibited, and he is very fond of women, especially Daji, who obeys Daji's words, and even plays games to satisfy his unique bad taste.
He arbitrarily raised taxes, exploited the people, and used their hard-earned money to build luxurious palaces. They even fill the pond with fine wine and hang the meat on it, transforming it into a "forest".
Even more unacceptable, he also ordered men and women to enter the pool naked, chase and frolic, and even party all night long. This is the famous "Wine Pond Meat Forest". In the face of the atrocities of the King of Xu, Jiang Ziya's heart was full of anger and powerlessness.
The determination to cut down the Emperor grew stronger and stronger in his heart, taking root like a seed in his heart until he, together with King Wen of Zhou, put an end to the absurd reign of King Zhou.
Jiang Ziya once publicly expressed his displeasure with the rule of the Emperor, but the truth about how he killed the King has remained a mystery. Legend has it that Daji created an immortal body for the Emperor, which makes history even more confusing.
However, with the unearthing of the dragon-shaped sage, the veil of mystery was finally revealed.
Lao Liu is a simple Shanxi farmer who respects the land, and one day when he was working in the field, he smelled an unusual smell. After turning over the earth, he found some red marks and was too frightened to move again, fearing that there was a secret hidden in the ground.
However, he still mustered up the courage to dig a few more hoes, but the "blood stains" became more and more. In order to confirm, he tried to dip a little of his finger into his mouth and put it in his mouth, but he felt dizzy and frightened in an instant, and immediately ran home.
Lao Liu returned home in a panic, and his family asked him if something had happened. Lao Liu did not hide it, and told his family about the abnormal situation found in the field today.
Lao Liu's family were simple farmers and had never experienced anything like this, so the whole family unanimously decided to report to their superiors. **After receiving the report, quickly dispatch personnel to the scene to investigate.
After arriving at the scene, the staff was also stunned by the scene in front of them, how could the "blood water" come out of the ground?
Not daring to take it lightly, I immediately collected some soil and the so-called"Blood water"and bring it back to the lab for testing. Fortunately, the test results show that these"Blood water"Not real blood, but a large amount of cinnabar mixed in, resulting in a similar color to blood.
But where did so much cinnabar come from in this field, like"Blood water"What about the same constant gushing out? In order to unravel this mystery, the relevant departments immediately organized a professional team and began to excavate Lao Liu's land.
The results were surprising, and the amount of cinnabar in the ground was extremely large. When everyone dug up all the cinnabar, a mysterious burial chamber was quietly revealed.
During the excavation process, experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau sat down and handled each step with care. As the depth increased, more and more bronzes were unearthed in the burial chamber, including a rare dragon-shaped squire.
The dragon's unique shape and crocodile pattern make it resemble a boat moored on the water, hence its name. The experts recognized the special identity of the dragon at a glance, which was the tomb of Jiang Ziya's father-in-law.
At this time, an expert familiar with the history of the Shang Dynasty reminded: "Please note that this is Jiang Ziya's magic weapon. ”
After Jiang Ziya left Taiyuan to be an official, his father-in-law died. In order to express his respect and nostalgia for his father-in-law, Jiang Ziya specially gave him the dragon-shaped sword as a funeral gift.
So, what is this dragon-shaped sage? The crowd did not dare to slack off, and carefully excavated and cleaned it up, full of curiosity and awe.
When you see the "staggered bargaining", will you think of a mysterious wine vessel? In fact, it is a dragon-shaped wine, a huge wine vessel shaped like a small boat, specially used to hold wine.
And, thanks to the fact that it has a clasp on its body, it can be easily hoisted. What's even more amazing is that there is an opening at the dragon's head, as long as the dragon-shaped dragon is hung up and the dragon's tail is raised upward, the wine will naturally pour down from the dragon's mouth, and there is no need to open the lid, isn't it very convenient?
When King Wen of Zhou visited Jiang Ziya's mansion, he was deeply attracted by a dragon-shaped statue and couldn't help but ask Jiang Ziya about its production process. Jiang Ziya deliberately avoided it at first, but eventually confessed the facts.
It turned out that this dragon-shaped sword was made to fight against the ** of the King of Wine, and because of the King of the Emperor's penchant for fine wine, many people died because of the wine. Jiang Ziya's father-in-law was a hermit who witnessed the suffering of the people, so he made this dragon-shaped piece in this unique way.
Although he was powerless to reverse the corrupt rule of the King of Xu, he still had the wish for the well-being of the people, so he came up with such an artifact and asked Jiang Ziya to create this artifact.
With the dragon-shaped sword as the carrier, combined with Jiang Ziya's divine power, he prayed for the blessings of the people in the world who were oppressed by the king. When King Wen of Zhou heard the news, he was deeply pleased. Later, Jiang Ziya's father-in-law died, and he also sent the dragon-shaped sword back to his hometown, so that it could accompany the old man into the earth to settle down, as a way to express his respect.
This story is full of mystery, but the design of the dragon-shaped is really amazing, the ornamentation on its body is only unique to our country Yangtze crocodile, and the Yangtze crocodile as a bronze ornament, at present only unearthed a dragon-shaped bird, its unique meaning, people can't help but sigh at the fine craftsmanship of the production.
The dragon-shaped dragon embodies the deep expectations of the ancients, and its unique Yangtze crocodile pattern symbolizes courage, tenacity, wisdom and strength. The Chinese alligator not only survives in extreme environments with its strong vitality, but also becomes a perfect symbol of the dragon-shaped bird because of its characteristics.
Under the rule of the mediocre king, the people suffered from taxes and lived in darkness. Jiang Ziya and his father-in-law are eager to find a brave, tenacious, wise and powerful man to fight against the king and bring light to the people.
Dragon-shaped wineware, a unique and elegant barware. Its exquisite design is derived from the pattern and image of the Chinese alligator. The dragon's mouth is not empty, but a row of spikes that correspond to the teeth of the alligator.
These spikes not only make the dragon more delicate, but also add to its ornamental appeal. In contrast, we now make a wider variety of wines with a smoother taste.
However, the conditions under which people made wine in ancient times were relatively poor, and most of the wine was fermented from the fruit. Moreover, at that time, the screen was not dense enough, so it was often drunk with dregs when drinking, which was very uncomfortable.
Still, the dragon is a wonderful drinking utensil, not only for wine tasting, but also as a work of art, allowing people to enjoy its unique design and craftsmanship while drinking.
In order to solve the problem of dregs in the process of drinking, we specially designed a row of fine teeth at the dragon's mouth to make the wine smoother and more comfortable in the mouth.
In addition, considering that the ancients liked to drink warm wine, we also added a special heat vent in the production process, so that the wine can quickly dissipate heat after heating, so that you can drink freely with friends, share your ambitions, and pour out your thoughts.
In the eyes of the ancients, the dragon shape was not only practical and helped them taste smoother wine, but also carried people's hope, like a ray of light in the darkness.
Although the dragon shape is not an artifact for Jiang Ziya to kill the King of the Ring, isn't the revelation it brings also a symbol of hope?
