Is there really a da ji in history?

According to historical records, this person does exist.

Da ji, the daughter of the Sioux tribe, is called "Su Daji". According to Zuo Zhuan, the Su tribe was conquered in BC 1047. The defenseless Su tribe donated cattle and sheep, treasures and peerless beauty da ji to protect themselves.

Da ji came to Shang Zhouwang's side, and Historical Records described Shang Zhouwang's performance after winning da ji. It can be seen that Shang Zhouwang is very fond of da ji, building pavilions with heavy taxes, creating lewd music and dancing, collecting treasures from all over the world, and creating a wine pool and meat forest, just to enjoy luxury with da ji.

Da ji's various records and legends have become household names and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Until the end of 19 century and the beginning of the 20th century, archaeologists excavated many Shang Dynasty relics in Xiaotun Village, Anyang City, Henan Province, including jade and bronzes, especially a large number of characters and "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" carved on tortoise shells and animal bones.

Our understanding of the historical situation before the Zhou Dynasty is much longer than the information that Confucius and Sima Qian had access to at that time, so as to evaluate the true colors of da ji and Shang Zhouwang Di Xin. His correct name should be "Di Xin".

Di Xin was strong-willed and selfish, and Di Xin succeeded him in his thirties. At that time, the Shang Dynasty had been established for 600 years, and its national strength was strong. Rich in wealth and outstanding in people, Di Xin is full of vitality and strength, and can be a beast of prey. It is extremely brave, eloquent, melodious and natural.

More headstrong, so relying on strong national strength and their excess energy, they developed to the southeast on a large scale and conquered the rich human tribes (now Huaihe River Basin), thus expanding their own land and spreading their national prestige in all directions.

Di Xin was in power for thirty years, that is, before 1047, he attacked the Su Yu tribe. By this time, he was over sixty years old. Da ji is one of the spoils conquered by the Su tribe. At that time, Di Xin was old, while da ji was still a young girl. Her delicate forehead and almost explosive fiery charm quickly rekindled the flame of his life in Di Xin's heart. At that time, Shang Dynasty was very superstitious about ghosts and gods.

In order to reward the gods for their sacrifices, they often danced, drank and sang, and even drank for a long night until they were drunk to death. As he became stronger and stronger, many governors surrendered to him. During the Shang Dynasty, he was made a "priest" and became Xibo. Because of the weight taboo, Ji Li was placed under house arrest and starved to death. Since then, the seeds of hatred have been planted between Zhou and Shang.

After Ji Li's death, his son, Ji Chang, succeeded to the throne and practiced benevolent government, becoming increasingly powerful. The nearby tribes were very convinced of the Shang Dynasty and were also very afraid.

Jichang was called Zhou Wenwang in later generations. At that time, his eldest son Bo Yikao was taken hostage in Shang Dynasty and worked as a driver for Di Xin. Later, Di Xin was angered by this incident. Di Xin roasted Boyi, killed him, made broth for Ji Chang, and imprisoned Ji Chang for two years. Because the courtiers in Zhou Dynasty rescued in many ways and paid bribes, they were released, and the hatred between Zhou and businessmen became deeper and deeper.

BC 1056, Zhou Wenwang Ji Chang died and his second son Ji Fa succeeded him. Ji Fa took Jiang Ziya as counselor, Duke Zhou as assistant, Zhao Gong, Bi Gong and their colleagues as assistant to King Wu, and followed the legacy of King Wen, keeping a low profile and making great efforts to govern. Became more and more chaotic and autocratic, killed Wang Shu, imprisoned his brother, master Pi He and Zhou with their musical instruments.

Ji Fa, the king of Wu, found it time to attack the businessmen. Jin Meng, observing the soldiers and testing the merchants, announced the top ten crimes of Di Xin, so he joined forces with the governors of the world and marched into the merchants, singing songs and waving banners of righteousness. Wei's elder brother led an army of170,000 composed of southeast Yi people, and repelled the allied forces from Konoha (now Ji 'an County, Henan Province) four miles away.

Unexpectedly, the army composed of these barbarians suddenly mutinied and collapsed overnight. As easy as blowing off dust, Zhou led the crowd straight into the city. Di Xin retreated into the city, boarded the deer platform, put all his jewels on his body, and set himself on fire and died. After Di Xin's death, Zhou Wuwang symbolically cut off his head with Huang Yue, and da ji was also killed.
