The Shang Dynasty, an ancient dynasty of 31 emperors, lasted for more than 500 years and became the first dynasty in Chinese history to be recorded. Its appearance not only left us with precious oracle bone inscriptions and gold inscriptions, but also wrote a shocking story in the torrent of history.
We all know that after the Battle of Muye, the Shang Dynasty disappeared in the smoke and clouds of history. But the glory of the Shang Dynasty is by no means limited to the ashes of that moment. It is like a bright star, although it falls in the night sky, its light will always shine on future generations.
So, in addition to the ** of the King of Zhou, what other major historical events did the Shang Dynasty have? What events have quietly rewritten the historical trajectory of the Shang Dynasty? Next, let's explore the past of the Shang Dynasty that has been buried by the years, and unveil the dusty veil of history.
1.Shang Tang Xia Extinguished:
It was a symphony of fire and iron, marking the gloomy end of the Xia Dynasty and the glorious beginning of the Shang Dynasty. Xia Wei, the last monarch, ruled brutally, the domestic public resentment boiled, and the people rebelled and left. However, in this chaos and despair, the Shang tribe was like a tiger descending from the sky and overthrew the Xia Dynasty in one fell swoop. Xia Wei, the king who once dominated the world, could only be exiled in the end and became the dust of history.
2.Jing Hao's life:
This is the legend of SenseTime's relocation of the capital, and it is also the wheel of history. He used Jinghao as the new capital, and used it as a base to conquer the Quartet, and finally completely dispelled the shadow of the Xia Dynasty. History has left different mysteries about the specific location of Jinghao, some say it is in the north of Shangqiu, Henan, and others say that it is in the south of Cao County, Shandong. Everywhere, however, it is a testament to SenseTime's ambitions.
3.Yi Yin Fang Taijia:
This is the wisdom of power and the test of human nature. Taijia, the grandson of Shang Tang, violated the legal system of his ancestors during his reign. However, Yi Yin, the wise man who had gone through the Five Dynasties, chose to exile Taijia. Three years later, Taijia repented and reformed, and Yi Yin welcomed him back to his place. This is the reincarnation of history and the test of human nature.
4.Yi Yin Fuzheng:
He is the right minister of Shang Tang and the wise man who assisted the Five Dynasties. Under his rule, the Shang Dynasty's social order was restored and the economy developed. He formulated various rules and regulations to stabilize the society in the early Shang Dynasty. He was not only Shang Tang's right-hand man, but also the first famous minister in Chinese history.
5.Rebellion of the Nine:
The struggle between the nine kings, the life-and-death struggle for the throne between brothers and nephews. This is the destruction of the system of brotherhood and succession to the throne, and the conflict between the desire for power and human nature. This historical event, named after the nine kings of five dynasties, is a deep scar in the history of the Shang Dynasty.
6.Pan Geng Qianyin:
In order to save the political crisis, Pangeng decided to move the capital to Anyang, Henan. This was a turning point in history and a major event in the middle and late Shang Dynasty. The reason for the relocation of the capital was the fierce struggle for the throne between uncles and nephews. However, this move of the capital made the Shang Dynasty gradually stronger.
7.Wu Ding Zhongxing:
The historical event after Pangeng's relocation is a historical event in the middle and late stages of the supermarket that occurred in Pangeng in order to save the political crisis. This move of the capital made the Shang Dynasty gradually stronger.
8.Shinto Teaching:
This four-character idiom, which has been handed down to this day, originated from a major historical event during the Shang Dynasty. At that time, King Wen of Zhou was forbidden by the king of Shang, but he used Fuxi gossip to write hexagrams and epigrams. This is the origin of "Shintoism", which means the use of superstitions about ghosts and gods as a means of education.
9.Meng Jin Guanbing:
This is a historical event that took place in 1048 BC, and King Wu of Zhou held a military parade to test the attitude of the vassal states and the reaction of the Shang kings. Although 800 princes were gathered, due to the absence of several large vassal states, King Wu of Zhou collected his troops and returned to his division, preparing to accumulate strength.
10.Battle of Makino:
Although the Shang army was victorious, it also led to the final demise of the Shang Dynasty due to the intensification of internal contradictions in society.
