After Fu Hao's death, why did the king divine Fu Hao's marital status several times?

In the ancient patriarchal society, it is very remarkable that a woman can leave a name in history, and the name "Fu Hao" is not only prominently marked in the whole history of Yin and Shang dynasties, but also worshipped by people until today.

At first, the whole territory of Shang Dynasty was actually only a small piece of the Yellow River basin. Later, with the land reclamation, it gradually expanded to Yishui and Huaishui. During the Wuding period, the territory area expanded several times, and it may reach Liaoning in the northeast, Jianghuai in the south (Panlongcheng in Huangpi, Hubei Province was a country that joined the Shang Dynasty), and crossed Taihang Mountain in the northwest to reach Shanxi. Neighboring tribes and Fang countries all came to surrender, which is called "the prosperous time of Wu Ding" in history. It is women's love that has laid a solid foundation for Wu Ding.

She is the first female general in the history of China, with two axes in her hand, wearing silver armor and a fine horse on her legs. Oracle Bone Inscriptions recorded such a story: there was a war on the northern border, and the two sides were deadlocked. His wife volunteered, and Wu Ding hesitated for a long time, not daring to hand over the elite troops to a woman so rashly. Be reasonable and persuade Wu Ding to do divination. The businessman is still a ghost, convinced of the result of divination, and decided that it was providence. After the divination ceremony, God "agreed" that Fu Hao would lead his troops to war.

Fu Hao lived up to expectations and won the first battle. Wu Ding looked at her with new eyes. After that, whenever there was a war, Fu Hao led the troops out. Over the years, she has conquered more than 20 neighboring countries and greatly expanded her territory. Limited by the population base, the scale of the campaign at that time was not large, usually several thousand people. However, it was recorded in Oracle bone inscriptions that when Fu Hao attacked Qiang, she led thirteen thousand troops, almost half of the national army. Wu Ding's trust in her is evident.
