At the end of Shang dynasty and the beginning of Zhou dynasty, it was an era of looking at blood relationship. At that time, it was a slave aristocracy. Therefore, the people who were closely related to the rulers at that time had very high status, so the status of the above four people was obvious. So who is Uncle Xian? Let's take a look at Uncle Xian first. At that time, Uncle Xian was in charge of land management, and people called him Guan Shu Xian. He is the third son of Ji Chang, the king of Wen, and his father and mother are Ji Fa, the king of Wu. We all know the history. We know that Wang Wenchang's eldest son, Boycott, died young. The second son is right, and the third son is right. Therefore, in fact, from the point of blood relationship, the status of the virtuous uncle is higher than that of the first four.
So when Guan Shu was founded in the Western Zhou Dynasty, he was rarely the highest-ranking vassal? Let's know something about the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Western Zhou Dynasty began to prosper from the grandfather of King Ji Chang, and after several generations of development, Ji Fa, the king of Wu, won the world. So how to rule such a huge dynasty? So later, the enfeoffment system was implemented and three prisons were set up. The core of this system is Guan Shu's new closed-door policy. Guan Shu is rarely the first of the three prisons, which is responsible for monitoring the most critical vassal states. So we can also see the high status of Xi 'an from here.
Later, Guan Shu was rarely killed in the Three Prisons Rebellion. Guan Shu's Qingxin State was handed over to Kang Shu to establish a defensive state. Zhou Gongdan was once again enfeoffed on a large scale, and the pattern of governors in the Western Zhou Dynasty was relatively stable.
