How did Shang Zhouwang and da ji die?

Shang Zhouwang set himself on fire and died. After Shang Zhouwang's death, Zhou Wuwang symbolically cut off his head with Huang Yue, and da ji was also killed.

Shang Zhouwang generally refers to Di Xin (the last monarch of Shang Dynasty). In the thirtieth year of Di Xin (about 1046 BC), Zhou Jun took the oath in Jin Meng. Di Xin sent troops to resist at Konoha.

On the 22nd of February (1046 65438+120th of October), Di Xin's army suffered a crushing defeat, which may be related to the rebellion 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 arrived, cut off his head, hung it on a white flag pole, and da ji was killed. 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.

On the other hand, after Zhou Wuwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty, da ji gave it to the Duke of Zhou, and he didn't know what to do.

Extended data:

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. Later generations are quite controversial about this.
