Di Xin (? -/kloc-before 0/046? ), the son's surname, was named You (one merit and one virtue), the youngest son of Di, the last monarch of Shang Dynasty, and was called Zhou and Shang Zhouwang in history. The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties dating project set its ruling time as 30 years (former 1075- former 1046).
During Di Xin's reign, he sent troops to attack the tribes in Dongyi many times, by means of building family songs, increasing taxes, strictly implementing the system of weekly sacrifices, changing the employment policy and implementing harsh laws. Its various measures not only caused contradictions within the ruling group, but also shook the ruling foundation of the Shang Dynasty. In the battle of Makino, the army of Shang Dynasty was defeated by the allied forces led by Zhou Wuwang, Di Xin died in battle and Shang Dynasty perished.
In the narrative of traditional historiography, Di Xin indulged in debauchery, used excessive force, imposed heavy penalties and refused to remonstrate. He is a typical tyrant. He was called "unruly" with Xia Jie, and finally abandoned his relatives and left the country. Related allusions include wine pool and forest, burning punishment, chicken beating punishment and so on.
Extended data
Character life:
1, succession is king.

2. Cruise conquest.
Di Xin two years (that is, "the second sacrifice of Di Xin", the same below; About 1074), Di Xin ordered him to go to Yao Di, ordered him to hunt in Yongdi, and presented the first pair of skins to Yao Di.
In the fourth year of Di Xin (about 1072 BC), on the fourth day of April in Shang Dynasty, Di Xin ordered a sacrifice to his father, Emperor Wu Wen; On the day of the next festival, Tang Cheng (one of the five forms of weekly festivals), the next three days of ceremonies were held.

3, the internal affairs are not repaired.
Prostitution and confiscation:
Di Xin is brilliant, eloquent, agile, receptive and powerful, and can fight wild animals with his bare hands. His wisdom is enough to refuse his advice, and his words are enough to cover up his mistakes. He boasted about his talent in front of the minister and raised his prestige everywhere, thinking that all the people in the world could not compare with him. He likes drinking, debauchery and doting on women. He dotes on da ji and listens to da ji.
He asked musician Juan to compose new folk music, Beili dance and weak songs for him. He raised taxes, piled up the money of Lu Tai Qian Ku, and filled the granary of Giant Bridge with grain. He collected dogs, horses and exotic playthings in many ways, filled the palace, and expanded the garden terrace of sand dunes to capture a large number of wild animals and birds. He is arrogant and disrespectful to ghosts and gods. He attracted a lot of opera music, gathered on the sand dunes, hung wine as the pool water and meat as the forest, made men and women naked, chased dramas during the period and drank all night for fun.
Imprisoning Xibe:
Di Xin was so dissolute that people hated him and some governors betrayed him. So he increased the punishment and established a kind of torture called branding. Di Xin also appointed Jichang, Jiuhou and Ehou as three fairs. Nine Marquis has a beautiful daughter, who gave it to Di Xin. She doesn't like lewdness. Di Xin was furious and killed her. At the same time, nine Marquis were also punished (chopped into meat paste). Hubei Hou protested strongly and argued fiercely. As a result, Hubei Hou was also tortured (made into dried meat).
Ji Chang heard that, secretly sighed. When Chonghouhu learned that he had reported to Di Xin, Di Xin imprisoned him in prison. Ji Chang's current minister, Yao Hong, and others came to Di Xin with beautiful women, strange things and good horses, and Di Xin released him. After Xibo's release, he presented Di Xin with a piece of land west of Luoshui, demanding that the penalty of artillery lattice be cancelled. Di Xin promised him, gave him a bow and arrow axe, and asked him to conquer other governors, so that he became the leader of the governors in the western regions, that is, Xibochang.
Di Xin appointed Fei Zhong to manage state affairs. Fei Zhong is good at flattery, greedy for money, and not close to Yin people. Di Xin hired Elei again, who was good at slanderers and used slanderers, so the governors and merchants became increasingly alienated. Xibo returned to China and secretly went to Xiu De to promote good governance. Many governors betrayed Di Xin and surrendered to Xibe. Xibo became more powerful, so Di Xin gradually lost his power. Prince Beagan persuaded Di Xin, but Di Xin wouldn't listen. Shang Rong is a talented and virtuous man. People liked him, but Di Xin let him go.
Xibo Zari:
Later, Xibe attacked Lebanon (recorded as a "hungry country" in historical records, according to the Book of History) and destroyed it. Zou, the minister of Di Xin, hated Zhou Guo and was very scared. He ran to Di Xin and reported:
"The son of heaven! God cut off the life of our country. Whether people who can know good or ill fortune predict or use chinemys reevesii for divination, there is no good omen. I think it's not that the former king didn't help our descendants, but that you were so dissolute and tyrannical that you died in the sky, so the genius abandoned us and made us eat badly. You neither guessed God's will nor played by common sense. Nowadays, there is no one in our country who doesn't want Yin to die at an early date. They said,' Why doesn't God show your strength? Why hasn't the order to kill cockroaches come yet?' Your Majesty, what do you want to do now? "
Di Xin said, "I was born a monarch, isn't it because of my fate?" There is also a view that it should be understood as: "My life is not in the sky, why worry!" Zoe retorted, "Alas! You have a lot of mistakes. You are lazy. You are above others. Can you still pray for good luck to heaven? Yin Shang is dying. If you want to guide your politics, you must work hard for your country! " Zoe went back and said, "I can't persuade you!" " "
Centrifugal separation from Germany:
After Xibochang's death, Zhou Wuwang led the army eastward and arrived in Jin Meng. Eight hundred countries betrayed Di Xin and joined forces with King Wu. The governors all said, "It's time to crusade against Zhou!" Zhou Wuwang said, "You don't know fate." So he sent his troops back to China.
Di Xin became more promiscuous and never stopped. Wei Zi had remonstrated many times, but Di Xin wouldn't listen. Wei Zi consulted with a surname and Shao Shi, and then fled Yinzhou. Bigan said, "If you want to be a courtier, you have to fight to the death." I tried my best to persuade. Di Xin was furious and said, "I heard that saints have seven holes in their hearts." So he cut open Beagan's chest and cut out his heart to watch. Ji Zi was afraid to see this situation, so he pretended to be crazy and became a slave. When he found out, he imprisoned Ji Zi. Master Yin and his sacrificial vessels and musical instruments fled to Zhou in a hurry. Zhou Wuwang learned that Di Xin's ruling clique was falling apart, that Bigan, the imperial etiquette, was killed, and that Ji Zi was imprisoned. The time had come, so he led the Zongfan Coalition forces to cut down merchants. ("China Historical Draft" said that at this time, Di Xin was taking military action against Dongyi with its main force, which also created opportunities for the prince of Wu to cut merchants; In this regard, there is controversy in academic circles. )
4. The country perished.
In the 29th year of Di Xin (about 1447 BC), Zhou Jun started to attack the merchants.
About thirty years in Di Xin (about 1446 BC), Zhou Jun took the oath in Jin Meng. Di Xin sent troops to resist at Konoha. On February 22nd (BC 1446 65438+1October 20th), Di Xin's army suffered a crushing defeat, which may be related to the defection of Di Xin's former enemy. Di Xin fled to Lutai, put on Baoyu's clothes, ran to the fire and set himself on fire. Zhou Wuwang came, cut off his head and hung it on a white flag pole. Some scholars in later generations believed that there was a contradiction between self-immolation and beheading, and Di Xin should be beheaded and put to death.
After Di Xin's death, Zhou Wuwang executed da ji, released Ji Zi, repaired Bigan's tomb, commended Shang Rong's alley, made Di Xin's son Wu Geng (Luf) succeed to the throne, and ordered him to practice Pan Geng's good governance. From then on, Yin Shang became the vassal state of Zhou Dynasty. After Zhou Chengwang ascended the throne, Wu Geng was killed for conspiring with Cai Shu, and Wei Zi of Zhou Dynasty sealed the Song State, continuing the descendants of Yin.
