Shandong discovered190,000 square meters ancient ruins, unearthed bronzes, and uncovered the true face of Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya in the list of gods was a formidable figure, who lived for 139 years from a real master of fishing to overthrowing Shang Zhouwang. So does Jiang Ziya really exist in history? What kind of person is the real Jiang Ziya? It was not until a large tomb was discovered in Shandong that Jiang Ziya's mysterious identity was revealed, but his throne might be lost. ...

In 2003, the quiet village of Chenzhuang in gaoqing county became restless because of the intrusion of archaeological teams, TV stations and others, because in the southeast of the village, the ruins of the historic ancient city Zhou 3000 years ago were discovered. According to the first archaeological team, because the South-to-North Water Diversion Project will pass through a piece of vilen in the east of Chen Zhuang village, workers dug up a small amount of pottery during the construction, so the archaeological team was informed to rush to this ancient site with a total area of more than 90,000 square meters.

When the experts cleaned up, they found nine Western Zhou tombs, two of which were monarchical tombs. A large number of bronzes and jades have been unearthed in these tombs, among which 8 bronzes have inscriptions. In the eyes of experts, the inscriptions on bronzes are sometimes more valuable than the bronzes themselves, because they are evidence to study the historical truth.

On the bronze unearthed this time, there is a bronze plaque, which is favored by experts because it is engraved with nine characters: "Feng Qijue's composition is ancestral home." So what's the secret in these words?

Li, an archaeologist, said that the title of "Qi Gong" in the inscription appeared for the first time in archaeology, representing Jiang Ziya, the first generation monarch of Qi State. Later, according to the study of inscriptions, historical experts also determined that in the Zhou Dynasty, anyone who added his name before "Gong" should be the first monarch of this country. For example, the monarch of Lu is a marquis, and all the inscriptions are called Lu Hou, not Lu Hou. Only the first monarch, Boqin, was called "Xiao Wen Lu Gong". So Qi Huangong here should be Jiang Ziya, the founding monarch of Qi.

Most of the records about Jiang Ziya are myths and legends, and this bronze inscription unearthed from Shandong ancient tomb proves that Jiang Ziya does exist. It's just that he is just an ordinary monarch, not a supernatural god.
