When ask about that historical background of Shang dynasty,

The first recorded heroine in the history of China.

Judging from her tomb, her name should be "Hao" and "Fu" is a kind of kinship, just as we call someone "big sister" today. Her other title is "Mu Xin".

The martial arts of Shang Dynasty reached its peak in the Wuding era of Emperor Gaozong of Shang Dynasty. Wu Ding expanded the territory of Shang Dynasty several times through a series of wars. The general who led Wu Ding's expedition to the East and the West was his wife. 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. From then on, Wu Ding made her commander in chief. Since then, she has conquered more than 20 neighboring countries (small independent countries). There were not many people fighting at that time, 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, almost half of the country's troops were 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 "the great event of the country lies in respecting peace and honor". Fu Hao knows how to fight. She has mastered the power of sacrifice and divination. Maybe even Wu Ding is afraid of her.

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. It is worth noting that Fu Hao did not live with Wu Ding, but often stayed in his fief. This phenomenon never happened again in the later history of China. But at that time, it seemed to be a common phenomenon. There are at least a few wives and daughters under Wu Ding, and there is a woman named Xing (her name is You Yi, but I can't find this word in the font, but it's all about Xing, so I changed it to Xing. ) Second only to Fu Hao, he led many expeditions and managed agriculture and internal affairs for Wu Ding. She was sealed in a well, which is now Xingtai, Hebei Province.

Fu Hao's tomb, excavated in Anyang, Henan, one of the ancient capitals of Shang Dynasty, contains all kinds of vague information about Fu Hao's date of birth and death, cause of death and so on. According to one source, Fu Hao died in BC 1200, and the cause of death is unknown. Because at that time, fighting was similar to large-scale fighting. Although women and women were expensive, they were likely to fight. 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. (Some scholars have even verified that the standard weapon of Amazon rya in ancient Greek mythology is also an axe, so the legend of Amazon rya actually originated from the rya tribe in Asia, and perhaps these rya are related to the descendants of Shang people. )
