What does history look like in da ji?

Da ji is a man of great political talent. Because of her outstanding political talent, she helped Zhou Wang to do many things, thus winning the trust of Zhou Wang. Her series of punishments broke the inherent system of "punishment is not as good as scholar-officials" and played a positive role in stabilizing the state power.

Da ji is also a reformer of the system of rites and music. Her slave owner's old ritual and music system advocated reform and innovation. She encouraged the folk artists at that time to absorb the essence of folk art and reform the old rites and music. In Shang Dynasty, whoever controlled the rituals and music of witchcraft had the right to explain witchcraft, such as divination, which was very valuable.

All kinds of records and legends about da ji are well-known and deeply rooted in people's hearts.
