Where are the ancient Xiqi and Chao Ge now?

Friends who are familiar with The Romance of Gods should be familiar with Xiqi and Chao Ge, which represent the hostile Zhou and Shang Dynasties. The change of Shang and Zhou dynasties, the decisive battle in konoha. In the end, Zhou Wuwang won a great victory, Shang Zhouwang was defeated and set himself on fire in Lutai, Chao Ge.

Only with the change of time, Chao Ge and Xiqi, once political and cultural centers in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, have long since disappeared in the long river of history and on modern maps. Where are they now?

Xiqi is now Qixian County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. "Historical Records of Zhou Benji" records: "(Gugong) and private people are shackled, painting falls, crossing Liangshan, and stopping at the bottom." . The ancient duke mentioned in the history books is the grandfather and father of Zhou Wenwang Xibochang.

At that time, Emperor Rong often harassed Zhou people, so Gu Gong led his men to move to Qishan. Since then, Qishan has become the political and cultural center of Zhou people. Because it is located in the west of the Central Plains, it is called Xiqiao.

After Xibochang was born, Gu Gong predicted: "I should be a prosperous person in the world, and I am really prosperous." So after the death of Gugong, Xibochang's father inherited Gugong's throne with his son, and then passed it on to Xibochang.

Xibochang was a sage in the Zhou Dynasty. He managed land in the Zhou Dynasty and his business was booming. Many tribes could not bear the tyranny of Shang Zhouwang, and went to Xibe Factory in succession. Shang Zhouwang was afraid of Xibochang's prestige and imprisoned him, but it didn't stop Zhou people from bribing him heavily. He not only let the tiger go, but also gave him an axe representing power.

However, the foolish move directly gave the Zhou people a good opportunity to continue to expand their territory, and more governors formed an alliance with Xibochang, so Xibochang moved the capital to Yufeng (now Xi 'an District, Shaanxi Province) in his later years. Qishan gradually declined and lost its position as the political center of Zhou people.

Qishan became famous again, because businessmen always believed in ghosts and gods and were good at divination. In order to confuse businessmen, Zhou Wuwang threatened that he had seen a phoenix in Qishan, and it cried loudly, so the story of "Qishan in Feng Ming" spread, which also played a very good role in dispersing businessmen's hearts.

The rise of Zhou regime was opposite to the decline of Chao Ge, the political center of Shang Dynasty. The site of ancient Chao Ge is located in Qixian County, Hebi City, Henan Province, only 70 kilometers away from the battlefield of ancient Mu Ye (now Xinxiang, Henan Province). Chao Ge was written as the capital of Shang Dynasty in The Romance of Gods, but in fact Chao Ge was not the real capital of Shang Dynasty.

The Shang dynasty moved the capital eight times, and the capital once had Bo, Ao, Xiang, Xing, Bi, Xuan, Yin and other places. It took Pan Geng, King of Shang Dynasty, 273 years to destroy the country after he moved the capital to Yin.

We all know that Yin is near Xiaotun Village in Anyang, Henan Province, and the existing ruins of Yin ruins are indeed the last capital of Shang Dynasty. Then why did The Romance of Gods take Chao Ge as the capital of Shang Dynasty?

In fact, archaeologists discovered the palace area, tomb area, Huantai shopping mall and other functional areas when they visited the Yin ruins, but they did not find the ruins of the Yin ruins wall. On the other hand, archaeologists have found the majestic remains of ancient city walls in the ruins of ancient Chao Ge.

It can be seen that Yin's lack of walls is not conducive to defending the enemy. Therefore, it is possible to take 65,438+020 kilometers north of Yin as the important city to defend the Zhou people, and build a deer platform here for pleasure, thus becoming the capital of Shang Dynasty. It is logical that The Romance of the Gods regards Chao Ge as the capital of Shang Dynasty.

We can clearly see from the map that Yin Ruins (now Anyang, Henan Province) is120km north of Chao Ge (now Qixian County, Henan Province) and 70km north of Mu Ye (now Xinxiang, Henan Province).

"Historical Records" records that "Jiazi is defeated every day. Zhou walked into the deer platform ",that is to say, he defeated Konoha and returned in one day. Then he put on luxurious clothes inlaid with precious stones, climbed onto the deer platform and threw himself into the sea of fire.

With the change of dynasties and the vicissitudes of time, Xiqi and Chao Ge have already turned into floating clouds of time. Only Qixian County, Shaanxi Province and Qixian County, Hebi County, Henan Province, the ancient city ruins that still exist today are still silently telling the ups and downs of past wars and the glory and glory of the past.
