According to "Historical Records of Zhou Benji", Gu's father inherited the career of Hou Ji and Gongliu, and he was deeply loved by the people. And Rong Di attacked the Zhou family and wanted to seize the property, so their father gave them the property. Later, they attacked and acquired the land and population of Zhou. The people are angry and want to resist. Gu Gong said: "The people hold the monarch for the benefit of the people. Now Emperor Rong is attacking for my land and subjects. What difference does it make if the subjects belong to me or him? You're going to fight for me and kill many fathers and sons. I don't have the heart to do this, king. " So Qi's father left with his family and relatives, crossed Qishui and Qushui, crossed Liangshan and settled under Qishan. All the people in the land have returned to the ancient duke. People from other countries heard about the kindness of the ancient duke and joined in. So ancient Qi Huangong reformed the custom of Rongdi, built houses with walls for people to live in, and set up five senses to perform their duties. People live and work in peace and contentment, and all praise Zhou's achievements. Mencius once praised Wang Taitai for loving his concubine too much and not marrying other wives and concubines, so "there is no resentment at home and no husband outside".
Shun Di said, "If we abandon it, the people of Lebanon will starve, and Hou Ji will sow a hundred valleys." Abandoned in Tai, Hou Ji is surnamed, not Ji. Hou Ji's prosperous times, in, danger, summer, have a virtue.
Hou Ji died, but his son didn't stand. In the past thirty years, the government declined, and he defected to Ji, not only losing his official position, but also running between Rong and Di. Die or stand. Do your best, and die, son and son Liu Li. Although Gong Liu was in the middle of Emperor Rong's reign, he resumed Hou Ji's career, plowing the fields, fitting the land, painting himself and using materials. Travelers have money, residents have livestock, and people live on it. People are pregnant with it, and they move back. From then on, the prosperity of Zhou Dao began, so poets thought about its virtue in songs and music. Gong Liu died, and his son celebrated the festival and established the country.
Celebrate the festival, the prince stands. A servant is a pawn, but a son is poor. If a poor man dies, his son will be destroyed. Destroy the pawn, the son will not stand. The public is not dead, and the child is high. You die high, your son stands high. The son is a chess piece, and the son is a grandparent. Uncle is a pawn, uncle is a father. Gu's father resumed his career in Hou Ji and Gongliu, and all China people wear them. Education RongDi attack, want to get property, give it. The attack has resumed, wanting to get land and people. The people are angry and want to fight. The ancient duke said, "If the people establish a monarch, they will benefit from it. What Emperor Rong did today is to attack and fight with our land and people. The people are in me, and there is no difference between the two. The people want to fight with me and kill their father and son, but they can't bear it. " So, I went to a private place, painted and fell in love, crossed Liangshan and stopped at Qixia. The people of the whole country help the old and the weak, and they are still old and weak. Other neighboring countries have heard of Gu Gongren and have all returned to it. Therefore, it is the custom of the ancient duke to demote the emperor, build a city and build a house, and the city lives in it. Become a master of the five senses. All people sing and appreciate it and praise its virtue.
The eldest son of Gugong is called Taibo, and the second son is Yuzhong. The youngest son's calendar, married to Tairen, is a virtuous woman, prosperous and blessed. The ancient duke said, "I am a prosperous man in the world. Is it prosperous? " The eldest sons, Taibo and Yu Zhongzhi, knew that the ancient duke wanted to establish a calendar to spread the prosperity, but they died like Man Jing, and their tattoos were broken before they could establish a calendar.
The ancient public pawn, calendar, is the public season. Public season, the ancient public legacy, loyalty and goodness, governors from it.
Gong Ji died, and Zi Changli did it for Xibo. Xibo said that King Wen, following the inheritance of Hou Ji and Gong Liu, is the law of the ancient father-in-law, respecting benevolence, respecting the elderly and being less kind. Those who offer gifts to sages don't eat and treat scholars at noon, and scholars pay them back. Boyi and Shu Qi are in solitary bamboo, and Wen Xibo is fond of providing for the aged, but he wants to return to his hometown. Too upset, Yao Hong, Sanyisheng, Xunzi and Dr. Xin's family all went back.
The Zhou Dynasty was another slavery dynasty in the history of China after the demise of Shang Dynasty. Zhou is also an ancient tribe, active in the northwest loess plateau, and may be a branch of Xia nationality. As early as the times, Hou Ji, the ancestor of Zhou, served as an agricultural teacher and was in charge of agricultural production. Hou Ji's descendants Gong Liu and Gu Fen's father led the tribe to continue to implement measures to promote agriculture, making the tribe gradually stronger. In order to avoid the invasion of Rong Di, Gu's father led his troops to leave his hometown, moved to Qixia, built a city and built a village, set up an official to spread benevolence and righteousness, and established Zhou Guo. Through the painstaking efforts of Gong Ji and Wen Wang, the national strength was enhanced until he led the princes of the world, seized the opportunity of tyranny and moral decay, wiped out merchants in one fell swoop, and established the Zhou Dynasty.
Zhou Benji generally describes the history of the rise and fall of the Zhou Dynasty, and outlines a powerful and vast slave kingdom, as well as different political styles of different kings in different periods, such as loving the people, hurting the people, abusing the people, and different political atmospheres in which the monarch and his ministers work together to help each other in the same boat or turn the tide.
In this chronicle, Sima Qian clearly viewed the history of the Zhou Dynasty from the Confucian point of view and preached the truth of benevolence and rejuvenating the country. This is prominently reflected in the narratives of King Wen, King Cheng and Duke Zhou. These people are all models of Confucian ideals, and the harmonious and unconstrained environment of the monarch and ministers in the early Zhou Dynasty is also the political environment of Confucian ideals. This article depicts the intention of King Wu. After describing the process of his suppression of Yin, he also described the policies and strategies of eating and drinking every day, being restless at night, changing the country's course, implementing the system of enfeoffment and controlling Yin with Yin, showing readers an image of an ancient politician with grand planning and management skills.
After the Zhou Dynasty became king, there were no wise monarchs, but several fatuous tyrants appeared, so Sima Qian took a few strokes to the general monarchs, while he attacked several fatuous tyrants with heavy punches. For example, Li Wang's patent words and Wang You's famous prostitutes are all written like wonderful dramas, supplemented by the display of historical background and characters. Under the severe situation, they highlighted their ignorance, tyranny and stubbornness, adding several wonderful images to the figure gallery in the history of literature. At the same time, Sima Gong also showed readers the images of several loyal ministers and assistant ministers who dared to remonstrate. For example, when King Mu wanted to cut down the dog army, he offered sacrifices to the public, begged his father's understanding and made sense. Greed insatiably, he reused the honor of being good at managing money and making profits, and Rui bluntly opposed each other.
Li forbade China people to criticize state affairs by killing people. Zhao Gong not only remonstrated many times, but also gave up his son to save the country at a critical moment, and acted as an agent for the state affairs with the Duke of Zhou. This is the famous "* * * politics" in history. These are also beautifully written and touching.
This chronicle has carefully selected materials and appropriate details. Occasionally, it uses novel brushwork to render the environment and contrast the atmosphere, and highlights the characters' personalities with fine lines and whispers, making a dynasty history of about 800 years concise, ups and downs and memorable.
Hou Ji, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, abandoned his name. His mother is the daughter of Artest tribe, named Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan is the princess of Di Ku. When Jiang Yuan went to the countryside, he saw the footprints of a giant, and he fell in love with it. He wanted to step on it. As soon as he stepped on it, he felt as if he was pregnant. He gave birth to a son in October. Jiang Yuan felt that the child was unlucky, so he threw him into a narrow alley, but all the horses and cattle passed by him and avoided him. Instead of stepping on him, he threw him into the Woods, just in time for the crowds in the Woods, so he moved to another place. Throw him into the ice in the ditch, and some birds come and cover him with their wings and put him under. Jiang Yuan thought it was amazing, so she brought it back and raised it. Because I wanted to throw him away at first, I named him dislike.
Abandoning my childhood, I am outstanding and ambitious. He likes to grow crops such as hemp and beans when playing games. Hemp and beans grow vigorously. When he is an adult, he likes to plow fields and grow crops. He carefully observes what kind of land is suitable for planting and where is suitable for planting crops, and people come to learn from him. When Emperor Yao heard about this situation, he gave up his position as an agricultural teacher and taught people to grow crops. The whole world has benefited from him, and he has made great achievements. Shun Di said, "Give it up. When the Lebanese people began to starve, you became an agricultural teacher and planted all kinds of grains." Thailand abolished the seal, taking the official as the number, calling it Hou Ji and taking Ji as the surname. The rise of Hou Ji was in Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia and Shang Dynasties, and these people all had good expectations.
After Hou Ji's death, his son did not succeed to the throne. In his later years, Xia Houshi's politics declined. He abandoned his agricultural teacher and stopped farming. He didn't wander to Rongdi because he lost his official position. After his death, his son Ju succeeded to the throne. After his death, his son Gong Liu succeeded to the throne. Although Gong Liu lived in Rongdi area, he still managed the inheritance of Hou Ji, engaged in agricultural production, and toured the land suitable for planting. He crossed the Wei River from Qishui and Qushui, and cut wood for use, so that people who went out had travel expenses and those who stayed at home had savings. People's lives are getting better and better. All people with surnames feel sorry for him, and many people are tempted to join him. It was at this time that the career of the Zhou Dynasty began to prosper, so people created music to commemorate his achievements. After Gong Liu's death, his son succeeded to the throne in Qingjie and built his capital here.
After Sister Qing died, her son's servant succeeded to the throne. After the royal servant died, his son Fu Cha succeeded to the throne. After Chafei's death, his son was destroyed and succeeded to the throne. When Raikkonen died, his son did not succeed to the throne. After Gong Fei's death, his son Gao Cong succeeded to the throne. After Gao Xuan's death, his son Xuan Ya succeeded to the throne. After Xuan Ya's death, his son, uncle and grandparents succeeded to the throne. After the death of an uncle, my son Gu succeeded to the throne. Gu Fu rebuilt the great cause of Hou Ji and Gongliu, accumulated virtue and showed benevolence and righteousness, which was loved by all Chinese people. Rong Di's family invaded and wanted to seize the property, so Gu offered it to them. Later, they invaded and wanted to seize land and population. The people are very angry and want to fight back. Gu Gong said: "The people hold the monarch because they want him to benefit everyone. Now let the emperor invade, the purpose is to seize my land and people. What's the difference between others following me and following them? The people went to war for me, and I sacrificed my father and son as their monarch. I really can't bear to do this. " So he left the land with his family, crossed Qi water and Qu water, crossed Liangshan and lived at the foot of Qishan. The people in the city helped the old and brought the young up and down, and followed the ancient duke to the gap. Even other neighboring countries heard that Gu Gong was so kind, and many people followed him. So the ancient duke abolished the custom of Rongdi, built battlements and houses, and settled the people in towns. And set up various official positions to handle various affairs. People are singing and praising his achievements.
The eldest son of Gugong is called Taibo, and the second son is Yuzhong. His concubine, Tai Jiang, gave birth to her youngest son, Ji Li, who married Tairen. She is also a virtuous woman like Taijiang. Born often, there are auspicious signs of sages. Gu Gong said, "One generation in our family will prosper. I am afraid it will be realized frequently. " The eldest son Taibo and the second son Yuzhong knew that Qi Huangong wanted to inherit the throne and pass it on to Chang, so they fled to the southern land of Jing Man. According to local customs, they tattooed their bodies, cut off their hair and passed the throne to Ji Li.
