Please ask the geometry of that year (name an ancient emperor and write down his main deeds)

Ask you the geometry of the year number-Pan Geng, the emperor of Shang Dynasty asked the age: ask Niangeng.

Pan Geng moved the capital: When Shang Tang established the Shang Dynasty, the earliest capital was Bo (sound bó, now Shangqiu, Henan). In the next 300 years, the capital moved five times. This is because the royal family often competes for the throne and civil strife occurs; Coupled with frequent floods in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Once a flood flooded the capital and had to move.

Shang Tang handed down twenty kings, and the throne passed to Pan Geng. Pan Geng is a capable monarch. In order to change the social unrest at that time, he decided to move the capital again.

However, most nobles crave comfort and are unwilling to move. Some powerful aristocrats also incited civilians to rise up against it, causing a great uproar.

Faced with strong opposition, Pan Geng did not waver in his determination to move the capital. He called the nobles who opposed the move and patiently persuaded: "I want you to move the capital because you want to stabilize our country. Not only did you not understand my painstaking efforts, but you appeared unnecessary panic. It is impossible for you to change my mind. "

Because Pan Geng insisted on moving the capital and defeated the opposition, he finally crossed the Yellow River with civilians and slaves and moved to Yin (now Xiaotun Village, Anyang, Henan). There, the politics of the Shang Dynasty was reorganized, which led to the revival of the declining Shang Dynasty. For more than 200 years, the capital has never moved. So Shang Dynasty is also called Yin Shang, or Yin Dynasty.

Since then, after more than 3,000 years, the capital of the Shang Dynasty has long been in ruins. In modern times, a large number of ancient relics were excavated in Xiaotun Village, Anyang, which proved that it was once the ruins of the Shang Dynasty capital, so it was called "Yin Ruins".

Among the relics excavated in the Yin Ruins, there are100000 pieces of tortoise shell and beast bones engraved with illegible words. Archaeologists worked hard to figure out these words. It turns out that the ruling class of Shang Dynasty was very superstitious about ghosts and gods. When they sacrifice, hunt and go out to war, they all use tortoise shells and animal bones for divination, which is auspicious or unlucky. After divination, write down what happened at that time and the result of divination on tortoise shells and animal bones. This kind of writing is very different from the current writing, and it was later called "Oracle Bone Inscriptions". The Chinese characters we use now are evolved from Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

Among the relics excavated in Yin Ruins, a large number of bronze vessels and weapons were also found, with a wide variety and exquisite craftsmanship. There is a generous tripod called "Simuwu", which weighs 875 kg and is 130 cm high. The tripod is also engraved with gorgeous patterns. Such a large bronze ware shows that the technical and artistic level of copper smelting in Yin and Shang Dynasties was very high. But it is also conceivable that such a huge and exquisite cauldron is permeated with the blood and sweat of many slaves!

Archaeologists also excavated the tombs of slave owners in Yin Ruins. In a tomb of Shang King in Wuguan Village, Anyang, in addition to a large number of luxurious funerary objects such as pearls and Baoyu, many slaves were buried alive and killed. In the pyramid-shaped mound next to the tomb, there are many headless bones and many heads lined up. According to the written records on Oracle bones, they sacrificed a large number of ancestors and slaughtered slaves as sacrifices, reaching more than 2,600 people at most. This is the evidence of the cruel persecution of slaves by slave owners in those days.

From the Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed in Yin Ruins, we have a more conclusive textual research on the social situation of Shang Dynasty. Therefore, the earliest recorded history of China started from Shang Dynasty.
