What happened to Shang Zhouwang and Zhou Wenwang? At that time, Zhou Wenwang had not been named Zhou Wenwang by his son. What was Zhou Wenwang doing then? Minister of Shang Zhouwang?

Zhou Wenwang was Xibohou in Shang Zhouwang's time and a minister of Shang Zhouwang government.

Shang Zhouwang invented a kind of torture called branding, which ordered prisoners to walk on a copper column covered with oil. If he slips, he will fall into a fire pit, and suddenly his skin will be burned to pieces, and he will die. But Shang Zhouwang's favorite princess, da ji, kept laughing when she saw this terrible situation, so Shang Zhouwang kept forcing the prisoners to do so in order to win a smile from da ji. Xibo Hou Jichang was very angry, and the princes and the people hated it. Hou Jichang, a Xibe ethnic group, offered Zhou Wang a piece of land on the west bank of Guoluo River last week in exchange for abolishing the punishment of burning. Zhou Wang agreed to Xibe's request and abolished the punishment of burning. Ji Chang is loved by people all over the world.

Xibo Hou Jichang was named "Three Fairs", with the territory of Yongzhou, and its influence extended to Jianghan area (Danjiang Hanshui River Basin), and the vassal state was United by six countries. Zhou Guoli became stronger and stronger, which caused anxiety in Shang Dynasty. Shang Zhouwang's cronies, worshipping Hou Hu, secretly suggested that Zhou Wang and Xibo should do good deeds and build their own prestige everywhere. Governors miss him very much, which is not good for the king, so Zhou Wang put him in prison.

Minister Zhou Yisheng bought Li Yu, Cheng, Li Rong, Xiong Jiuyi and Xin Shimei at a high price. Zhou Wang Da Yue, "This one thing (refers to beauty) is enough, not to mention so many treasures!" So he ordered Xibo Hou Jichang to be pardoned from prison, and gave him a bow and arrow (shǐ) and an axe plot (yuè), which made Jichang monopolize the conquest.

At this time, Xibo Hou Jichang was still a vassal, but he has become a moral model for all the vassals in the world. Bochang's lawsuit against Yu and Rui has also become a landmark event. Zhou called this the first year of Bochang's appointment. The naming of "senior one" undoubtedly has the significance of sticking to this commanding height? . The princes all held the emperor to make the princes, so King Xibochang was called Zhou Wenwang in history.

Extended data

Zhou Wenwang's Western Zhou regime was the predecessor of China's feudal autocracy for thousands of years. The Book of Changes has a profound influence and great changes on the ancient traditional culture of China. It is the source of China culture, which has changed the development track of ancient culture and influenced today's cultural matrix. In the ancient cultural history of China, there has always been a saying that Fuxi painted eight diagrams, and Wen Wang did sixty-four hexagrams. Historical Records also thinks that the author of Zhouyi is Zhou Wenwang.

Of course, some people questioned that the hexagrams in Zhouyi recorded the historical events after Zhou Wenwang, and thought that the hexagrams were deduced by Zhou Wenwang, but the words were written by Duke Zhou or others. In fact, a classic work like Zhouyi is hard to accomplish overnight. It must have a long journey from embryonic form to richness and perfection. The text of Zhouyi that we see today was conceived, compiled, written, revised, supplemented and polished by many people and even generations. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the author is Zhou Wenwang, at least it can be inferred that Zhou Wenwang played a vital role in the book-writing process of Zhouyi.

Countless people have made it their duty to return gifts in the past dynasties. Due to the long history and incomplete literature, people don't know much about Zhou, and the etiquette system of Zhou is not perfect. However, as people yearn for the king of Qingming and the Qingming system, its significance is positive. Zhou Wenwang has influenced the history of China for more than two thousand years.

In order to link morality with politics, later Confucian scholars regarded King Wen as a typical example of "inner sage and outer king", and the influence of King Wen was growing. Confucius especially admired the king of literature, and he dreamed of restoring the ceremony of "being depressed for literature"
