Whose wife was Fu Hao, the first female general in the history of China? Who is a good husband?

Fuxi, who lived in Wuding during the reorganization of Shang Dynasty in the first half of BC12nd century, was the earliest female politician and strategist in China, and the first recorded heroine in China history. Fu Hao has no Fu surname, but her father's surname is a symbol of Asian painting. When she married Wu Ding and became the king's wife, Wu Ding gave her quite rich fiefs and gentry. In her fief, she got a good surname, and she was honored as Fu Hao or Hou Fu Hao.

Shang Gaozong had three queens before and after Wuding, and a good wife was his original match. However, Wu Ding has more than 60 wives, and Fu Hao is just one of them. Later, Fu Hao was introduced by his ancestors.

The martial arts of Shang Dynasty reached its peak in the Wuding era of Emperor Gaozong of Shang Dynasty. Through a series of wars, Wuding expanded the territory of Shang Dynasty several times, and the general who led the troops to the east for Wuding was his queen Fu. Oracle Bone Inscriptions recorded that one summer, there was a war on the northern border, and the two sides were deadlocked. Fu Hao volunteered and asked for troops. Wu Ding hesitated, decided to send Fu Hao to arise after divination, and the result was a great victory. Since then, Wu Ding has made her commander in chief. Since then, she has conquered more than 20 neighboring countries (small independent countries). At that time, there were not many people, usually thousands, which was similar to a large-scale battle. However, according to records, when Fu Hao attacked Qiang, there were more than 13 thousand troops at a time. In other words, one-tenth of the army in the capital was handed over to her.

Fu Hao can not only lead troops to fight, but also be the chief priest of the country. She is often ordered to preside over ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to heaven, ancestors and gods, and is also an official of divination. Shang Dynasty was a country superstitious in ghosts and gods, and the so-called state affairs were sacrificial conquest. Fu Hao knows how to fight. She has mastered the power of sacrifice and divination. Maybe even Wu Ding is afraid of her.

Fu Hao didn't live with Wu Ding, but often stayed in her fief. This phenomenon never happened again in the later history of China. But at that time, it seemed to be a common phenomenon. In addition to Fu Hao, there are at least a few wives and daughters in Wu Ding. There is also a woman named Xing, who is second only to Fu Hao. She also led many expeditions to manage agriculture and internal affairs for Wu Ding. She was sealed in a well (Xingtai, Hebei).

Fu Hao's tomb excavated in Anyang, Henan Province, one of the ancient capitals of Shang Dynasty, contains the date of birth and death and the cause of death of Fu Hao, but all kinds of information are vague. According to one source, Fu Hao died in BC 1248, and the cause of death is unknown. Because at that time, fighting was similar to large-scale fighting. Although women were expensive, I was afraid that they would go into battle. It is not known whether he died in battle or returned to Anyang after being seriously injured. Among several weapons unearthed from Fu Hao's tomb, there is a large bronze cymbal with dragon pattern and a bronze cymbal with tiger pattern. Because the word "Fu Hao" is engraved on it, it is concluded that this is the weapon he used before his death. One of these two weapons weighs 8.5 kilograms and the other weighs 9 kilograms. Women are good at using such heavy weapons, which shows that they have superior martial arts and extraordinary strength. And after marriage, women in China will never use a big axe again.

After Fu Hao's death, Wu Ding was heartbroken and pursued Xin Yue. Later generations of Shang Dynasty honored her as Xin Mu and Xin stepmother.
