Chapter 1 of "Six Hundred Years of Qin": Emperor Shun gave a surname and became a slave

Lover's Story Let’s start from the land of China more than 4,000 years ago. That was an ancient time when floods raged River flooding Huge waves Causing countless lives to be destroyed Water management is related to the survival of Chinese civilization The ancestor of the Qin people, Bo Yi Because of his great contribution in assisting Dayu in controlling floods He was given the surname Ying by Shun, one of the Five Emperors. This may be the earliest Documentary Records on Qin People's Surnames It is worth mentioning that Xie, the ancestor of merchants Also because of his contribution to assisting Dayu in controlling floods He was granted the title of Shang That is today's Shangqiu, Henan According to the Records of the Grand Historian, the Book of Xia After Emperor Shun's death Dayu, who had made great contributions to flood control, succeeded to the throne Vigorously promoted and appointed Bo Yi Even after his death, he entrusted the world to him. And three years later Bo Yi returned the kingdom to Dayu's son Qi start The Xia Dynasty, the first hereditary dynasty in China, was established. However, due to the lack of historical documents, Together with his people What happened in the following hundreds of years? We have no way of knowing The only thing that is certain is Over hundreds of years, the Qin people They thrived I don't know if it's because of the joint water management Established a revolutionary friendship Bo Yi's descendants eventually chose to marry Xie's descendants That is, the nobles of the Shang Dynasty worked together Mutual benefit and win-win situation for both tribes So in the 17th century BC The Shang monarch Cheng Tang launched a war Conquer the Xia Dynasty At this time, the Qin people brought their families with them. Go down to Shang In this soup revolution The Qin people first used their ancestral skills to drive They drove chariots for Shang Tang And defeated the army of the lower class in Mingtiao Made great contributions therefore Many Qin leaders were promoted by the Shang rulers Became the minister of the Shang king The other part of the Qin people left under the leadership of Zhong Yu. The East, where people have lived for generations Heading to the middle reaches of the Wei River today This was the western border of the Shang Dynasty. Resist Rongdi He Zhouren The story of the Qin people's rise to power proves that you not only have to stand in line You have to be an experienced driver. What is puzzling is that Together with Dayu, he made his fortune by controlling floods And under the rule of the Xia Dynasty The Qin people were able to thrive for hundreds of years. Why did he turn to the businessman at the last moment? Is it simply because our ancestors worked together to control the water? The revolutionary friendship Or is there some shady py transaction? Let’s go back in time Through the mist of history Arrived in the Chinese civilization According to legend, a descendant of Zhuanxu, one of the Five Emperors, Because I swallowed a swallow bullet And gave birth to a boy named Daye This is the lover The oldest male ancestor that can be traced back And it is not unique A similar story happened to the ancestors of the merchants. According to legend, a girl named Jian Di Seeing a black bird while taking a bath Lay an egg Take and swallow Therefore pregnancy She gave birth to the ancestor of merchants, Xie 而根据吕氏春秋仲春季中高祐的注解 Xuan bird swallow That is to say Mother of the Lover and Merchant Ancestor All of them got pregnant because they swallowed swallow bullets. In fact, such stories are not uncommon Huaxu, the mother of Fuxi in legend Getting pregnant by stepping on a giant's footprint These legends clearly record the mother's surname This reflects that among the early Chinese tribes Indeed, they experienced a matriarchal society. People at that time only knew their mother but not their father. So when descendants try to recall their ancestors At most it can be traced back to the mythological era A common mother But lovers and businessmen are born because of swallows There must be something wrong when things are abnormal The truth will always remain in the dust of history. The clues According to archaeological discoveries Merchant on the tortoise shell of divination There are a lot of records about swallows. And they also called their ancestors Xuan Wang Mozi There is an interesting legend recorded in the famous ghosts. Duke Mu of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period I saw a god in black clothes in the ancestral temple. I was terrified because I couldn't see his face. The black-clad god said to Duke Mu of Qin, "Don't be afraid." I was sent by God. May your country prosper. Duke Mu of Qin was filled with gratitude and asked the name of the god. God said I am a hook According to the research of some scholars Gou Mang evolved from Xuanniao, or swallow. Goumang is the ancient oriental god. Merchants also admire From the totem beliefs shared by merchants and relatives We can infer that They should be from the same tribe Then we separated for unknown reasons. More direct evidence is According to Mr. Liu Jie's research Yin and Yan were the same kind of twin ropes in ancient times. And take the totem of ancestor worship as your surname It is also one of the important sources of early Chinese surnames. Since the Qin people and the Shang people came from the same tribe Then in overthrowing the rule of the Xia Dynasty The Qin people chose to follow their relatives It's no wonder From then on, the fate of lovers and merchants They were tied together tightly One Prosperity, All Prosperity One loss, all loss By the end of the Shang Dynasty Fei Lian and Wu Lai, the father and son of Qin nobles All served King Zhou According to legend, Fei Lian is good at walking And Wu Lai is a warrior who can fight rhinos and tigers Three Kingdoms period People at that time praised Dian Wei, a fierce general under Cao Cao's command It is an ancient thing Visible until a thousand years later Wulai's reputation still resonates throughout China Everyone knows the subsequent story. Xiao Bang Zhou's injury reduction plan after several generations of efforts Finally, during the reign of King Wu of Zhou, All actions were taken in the first month of 1046 BC. King Wu of Zhou dispatched a coalition of 50,000 troops from various states Defeated the Shang Dynasty at Muye Hundreds of thousands of troops roaring like a tsunami After the defeat, King Zhou fled back to Chaoge Died by self-immolation Wulai also died fighting for King Zhou. According to the records in the Historical Records of Qin Wulai's father Fei Lian was also buried alive by the Shang Dynasty After King Wu was wounded The Qin people, together with the Shang immigrants Degraded to a slave of the state Overnight From the noble ministers who were injured To the state slaves who lost their freedom The huge psychological gap can be imagined The Qin people thought this was the end of their fate. But I didn't expect that a bigger disaster was about to come. King Wu died of illness one year after defeating King Zhou The young King Cheng of Zhou ascended the throne King Wu's younger brother, the famous Duke of Zhou, assisted in the administration. At this time when the ruler is young and the country is barbaric The most serious political crisis in the early Western Zhou Dynasty Military crisis The Three-Build Rebellion turn out to be King Wu's attack on King Zhou only destroyed the capital of the Shang Dynasty. The Eastern vassal states have not yet been completely conquered To appease people King Wu then gave King Zhou's son Wu Geng a fief Stay in Yindi He also sent his brother Guan Shu Uncle Cai and Uncle Huo Establish a country near Yindu To monitor Wu Geng But because King Cheng was young Duke of Zhou Regent This aroused the suspicion of King Wu's brothers. Then Wu Geng saw the opportunity The three foolish brothers who usurped King Wu Rebellion together At this time, the loyalty and bravery flowing in the lover's blood The most vivid expression Ginkgo Lover Living in the East He also resolutely participated in the rebellion Everyone knows the subsequent story. Duke Zhou decisively mobilized the army to march east Put down the rebellion After the rebellion The Zhou Dynasty rulers punished those who participated in the rebellion Very brutal repression In addition to the massive bloodbath For the remaining small group of players Sexual cessation And the most severe punishment was exile to the West The surname Duan was used to punish the Qin people. The Ying surname, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, would no longer be used. The extinction of the heirs meant that the Qin people were not qualified to build the ancestral temple. Worship for ancestors This is true for the tribes in ancient times. It was a devastating blow The surname Duan means the whole tribe. Lose your sense of identity Centrifugal And extinction It is to completely cut off the history and memory of this tribe. We have all heard the famous saying that it takes a lot to destroy a nation. Then destroy his history first. Throughout the long history Many tribes became extinct because of the Duan surname. Forced to assimilate into other tribes Disappeared from sight Not only that The politically savvy Duke of Zhou also did his homework. He knew that the leader of the Qin people, Zhong Yu, had been ordered by the King of Shang to Led the tribe to fight against Rongdi in the west So he took this Qin people in the east Immigrants moved to the far west of the Zhou Dynasty From now on The Qin people were forced to be caught between the Rongdi and Zhou people. Survival Ginkgo lovers who once had a glorious history of over a hundred years This marked the tribe’s darkest hour. They became slaves of the Zhou Dynasty. Also regarded as barbarians And suffered the ridicule and discrimination of the Eastern vassal states But the lover at this moment does not know They will continue to struggle in this endless night Survival for nearly 200 years
