Did Dayu exist? Archeology unearth the ruins of Dayu, which may reveal the historical truth

In 1923, the famous scholar Gu Jigang In an article discussing ancient history books with Mr. Qian Xuantong mentioned I thought the rain might be an animal on the Jiuding At that time, the top of the pillar had a strange shape There must be many fish that are the most powerful of the top animals Or it looks like floating soil So even if he is the founder of the world It spread and later he became a real human king. This is Dayu, not water But Tiao Chong’s famous argument Lu Xun also held this view Apart from this view There are also many Chinese and foreign scholars who believe that Dayu is a fictitious historical figure Especially Western scholars It almost completely denied the existence of Dayu and the Xia Dynasty. So as an ancient great man in the history of Chinese civilization Did Dayu exist? Are the records of Dayu believed in history or purely fabricated? Archaeological sites of Dayu continue to be unearthed Or reveal the historical truth The two most famous things of Dayu are controlling floods and establishing Xia Dynasty Among them, the legend of Dayu's flood control is the most widely circulated. So did Dayu control floods? Northern Song Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Huizong A Spring and Autumn Bronze Ware Unearthed in Shandong The owner of the book legacy is from the Spring and Autumn Period and Song Dynasty The people of the Song Dynasty are descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The Yin people did not mention the Xia Dynasty and Dayu in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions But descendants clearly recorded the Xia Dynasty and Dayu Among them, there are clouds related to the Tang Dynasty It is also said that in the emperor's place, everyone receives the destiny mountain cutting division The defeated spiritual master was assisted by a young minister It’s rare that Kyushu gets rid of rain jams Discovered by archaeological experts in 2002 Then the public agreed This is a Western Zhou bronze ware from the mid-10th century BC Inscribed on it are Dayu's flood control process and achievements. It is the earliest record of Dayu’s flood control. But these two bronzes are not the remains of Dayu It's just an inscription for future generations. It’s hard to be 100% proof Whether Dayu ever stagnated in water remains a mystery but Li Boqian, director of the Department of Archeology at Peking University, once invited the Scholars such as Geographical Science found that Dayu's flood control areas recorded in historical books around 4000 There was indeed a relatively large-scale flood. There are still some relics left A flood around 4000 years ago Plus the inscription of Dayu’s flood control on the bronze vessel Can we prove the existence of Dayu? According to historical records Emperor Shun passed the throne to Yu in his later years But Yu felt that Shun should be passed down after his death. He shouldn't inherit this position So in order to avoid this matter, Dayu So I ran to a small town called Yangcheng to live in seclusion. But the people still supported Dayu In the end, Dayu established his capital in Yangcheng. So where is Yudu Yangcheng? In Dengfeng City, Henan Province Archaeological expert Found The Wangchenggang ruins with strong characteristics of Henan Longshan culture It is a complete city There is a small town inside 100 meters long and 100 meters wide There are two walls Built approximately 4,100 years ago There's a big city outside Built around 4,000 years ago It is worth noting that To the northeast of Wangchenggang ruins About a few miles away Discovered Yangcheng in South Korea during the Warring States Period Wangchenggang ruins no matter in time Or in terms of geography, etc. All are highly consistent with the historical records of Duyang City The famous scholar An Jinhuai believes that The Wangchenggang ruins are the Yangcheng city of Yudu It was the location of the earliest capital city of Xia Dynasty. Today there are still some places in Shanxi and Henan called Yangcheng You can also see the inheritance of long history The so-called Yu Hui princes Also known as Pushan Meeting After Dayu controlled the floods Reputation soars into the sky But want to have higher power Dayu still needs to make meritorious deeds According to historical records After Dayu controlled the floods Initiated by Zheng Sanmiao Later, Yangcheng was established as the capital Finally, the participating princes agreed to convene a general meeting of princes Unify ideas and distribute rights This is an important symbol of the official establishment of the Xia Dynasty like emperor busan It’s the same as establishing dominance after Fu According to Zuo, in the seventh year of Duke Ai, Yu and the princes were at Tushan. Straight jade and silk can be used by all nations records 2006 Archaeological Expert To Bengbu, Anhui Excavation of the Longshan Cultural Site in Huihui Village The end result is astounding A large sacrificial platform base of more than 2,000 square meters was discovered is a manually implemented Large conference venue with specialized functions Meet the requirements of the princes of Yuhui Two 35 postholes 50 meters long and arranged in sequence Scholars believe that the participating princes planted flags and flags to make fun of them. The age of the cultural layer at the Sanyouhui site is around 4140 What is even more surprising is that This ruins is located in Yuhui Village Village name ancient Ariyuki And there is a Tushan Mountain near the village. obviously Yuhui Village unearthed the ruins of Yuhui princes recorded in history books It shouldn't be a coincidence mentioned above After Dayu controlled the floods The first major event was that Yu conquered Sanmiao Why did Dayu conquer Sanmiao? According to historical records Sanmiao often confronts the Central Plains region Yao and Shun both conquered Sanmiao So in order to consolidate one's position Dayu must also conquer the three seedlings to demonstrate martial arts Just as the Tang Dynasty continued the national policy of the Sui Dynasty, Just like continuing to conquer Gao Guli In the end, Dayu completely solved the problem of three seedlings. Wei Ce's policy during the Warring States Period was about turning westward to where the three seedlings lived. Zuo Pengli's Wave There is Dongting water on the right Wenshan is in the south And Hengshan is in the north therefore Sanmiao is basically distributed in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Among the ruins of more than 4,000 years in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River Archaeological experts discovered two strange phenomena Just like in Shijiahe Cultural Site More than 4,000 years ago Factors of Henan Longshan culture suddenly appeared 2. In the time of Dayu and after Many sites in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River suddenly declined and was replaced by Longshan culture Scholars analyzed this and pointed out Sanmiao was invaded by large-scale force from Longshan Culture That’s why this phenomenon occurs As a result, many Sanmiao people had no choice but to continue migrating south to escape for their lives. all in all These archaeological finds illustrate The fight for three seedlings recorded in the literature is indeed true only It is difficult to judge whether the terminator of the fight for three seedlings is Dayu Or Dayu was not involved But combined with historical records and a series of archaeological discoveries The struggle for three seedlings should be a real history now For confirming whether Dayu and Xia Chao exist Biggest problem This is due to the lack of relevant written records from the Xia and Shang dynasties. However, archaeological discoveries highly corroborate historical records To a certain extent, it explains the existence of Dayu Of course, from the perspective of rigorous logical reasoning The achievements of Dayu that we are familiar with Was it actually Dayu who did this? Indeed, further textual evidence is needed It is worth mentioning that Chinese scholars regard their ancestors Always full of critical eyes Use a scientific attitude towards building spaceships Don’t stop until you’ve derived it meticulously. But Western scholars don’t treat their ancestors like this For example, the Hema epic is the source of Western civilization It is said to be more than 3,000 years ago The biggest flaw in this book is that There are more than 7 million words And it has been miraculously passed down This is obviously impossible But Western scholars But seriously study it as historical data Next, let’s talk about the three major ancient cultural relics in the history of archaeology. One is an ancient dragon One piece like a dual camera phone How do people define ancient times? for ancient times People feel very strange It feels like it's from all periods before human history In fact, in China It refers to the era before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors There was no society at that time No text or pictures But there are already people living there Today we still don’t know When did Chinese civilization begin? We only have a rough understanding It was in a period far, far away And surprisingly There were also cultural relics from that ancient period The most powerful ones are undoubtedly the three ancient cultural relics in the history of archaeology The first Puyang Dragon and Tiger It is the fossil of a legendary dragon from ancient times Unearthed in Henan Province when it was discovered It caused a sensation all over China and even the world. Because the species dragon Has always been a symbol of Chinese civilization We are also called the descendants of the dragon And the dragon is also regarded as a symbol of power Just like the previous emperors were regarded as true dragon emperors What exactly is this pile of dragons and tigers? It's an ancient dragon Experts have not figured out the reason why This artifact was unearthed 6,500 years ago but Didn’t dragon culture appear 5,000 years ago? Could it be that dragons appeared in ancient times? There were several theories about this cultural relic at that time. but no matter The unearthing of this cultural relic has made people doubt that at some time in the past There is indeed a dragon appearing The second ancient stone shovel It is a representative of ancient times It has a history of 13,000 years ago But this stone shovel doesn't look so solemn Not that old But like a modern smartphone The two holes on the shovel are like a dual-camera phone What are the functions of these two small holes? It's because of the stick on the shovel After a long baptism Already turned into ashes So only 17 parts of the shovel are left. in other words These two holes are used to connect wooden sticks The third stone ax kills Tao Gang He is a national treasure-level cultural relic The country attaches great importance to him This cultural relic is different from the previous two It was not discovered through normal archaeological research But being worked in the fields by a farmer Found when Later it was handed over to the state After identification It's at least 7,000 years old The picture engraved above is also known as the originator of Chinese painting. Then someone asked What is this pottery jar used for? In fact, it was used for the ashes of Zhuang people in ancient times. But in the past, people were buried in the soil. Why do we need a jar to hold ashes? In fact, people at that time were indeed buried in the soil. After a few years, put the ashes in a jar Actually now This kind of burial It is also used in rural areas of Guangdong and Guangxi in my country.
