The ancient country of Yin and Shang Dynasties, Zhou State, was a race for skin with tigers in ancient times.

There is a mysterious ancient country called "Cuo" and "Fang Yao" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Ruins. There are many ways to write Oracle characters, and sometimes "hand" is added beside them, so it is also called "Yao You". Early Oracle Bone Inscriptions ""... Wang, the next ugly ... January, in Iraq. "Inscription is incomplete, and the specific activities are not accurate, but what is certain is that Shang Wang carried out Zhen Bu on the land, indicating that Shang Wang belonged to Shang Wang's sphere of influence at least during the Wuding period and maintained close ties with the royal family. However, in the third Oracle Bone Inscriptions, there is a record of Shang Zhouwang's felling. It can be seen that in the period of Li Jue and Kangding, they began to change their direction and chose to break with the Shang Dynasty, so the Shang Dynasty made a conquest. During this period, it may not be able to resist the pressure of Shang Dynasty, and Zhou Fang was forced to yield once and finally betrayed again. Looking at Zhou Fang's activity track in the middle and late Shang Dynasty, Zhou people were very unstable when they rebelled against Shang King. There are two theories about the geographical location of Fang Yao, Oracle Bone Inscriptions: Yin Xi theory and Yin Dong theory. According to the Oracle, the king of Ugly B, Bu Zhen, sent people to Houtian, registered the party, humiliated the party, and the rest attacked the four States from Houtian. " The general idea is divination, and he told Houtian the result of divination and asked him to go out to crusade against, shame and defeat. Book means book cutting; After the main field, it is probably Tian Hou, the military commander around the king; Zhou, Qiang, Shame and Bi were four powerful hostile countries in the northwest of Shang Dynasty. The familiar Qiang side is the Qiang side that often appears in the northwest of Yinwangji. The juxtaposition of Qiang here shows that it is very likely that Qiang is nearby, at least not far away, otherwise Shang Wang could not crusade in one breath. However, a number of Shang bronzes engraved with the word "Yi" were unearthed in Feixian County, Shandong Province, so some scholars believe that the hometown of Shang Yi people is Dongyi. Of course, some scholars believe that the Yi people come from the foothills of Xing 'an Mountains in the northeast and make a living by killing large animals. They use tigers as totems, and one of them moved to the northeast of Yan State to open a state state in the early Zhou Dynasty. The word "fu" in surnames has the prefix of tiger, and its pictographs are complex and changeable. There are at least four characters in Oracle bones, but the tiger prefix remains the same. It is generally believed that "snake" may come from ancient sacrificial activities, and something similar to tiger skin is usually taken as a sacrificial prop, which may be a traditional custom of the tribe when holding sacrifices. This bronze ware of the Western Zhou Dynasty unearthed in Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province in the 1940s, named "guǐ", may prove it. The inscription of this instrument has the word "H", which is given to Wang Huzai as a teacher. According to "Worship", the king of Zhou summoned a surname and gave him a tiger robe named Xie. Why did King Zhou reward the Master with tiger skin? Although having tiger skin was a symbol of dignity at that time, it was an affirmation that Zhou Wang used it to reward heroes. But I'm afraid there is another special meaning here. This Taishiyi probably belonged to the Yi nationality in Shang Dynasty. Tiger skin is an important prop for Yi people's sacrifice, and Zhou Wang's gift of tiger skin fur to the Tai Shi is a respect for Yi people's traditional customs. The early Yi people were probably a race for skin with tigers. Tiger skin Zhou Fang surrendered to Shang Dynasty in Wudong. After the heyday of Wuding, Zhou Fang became stronger and stronger, and finally broke away from the Shang Dynasty and joined forces with the surrounding "four countries" to fight against the Shang King. The king sent troops to attack, but failed several times. ""garrison and defense. Fuji. Defense, defense. Garrison and defense, Fu ... "Garrison (shu), border garrison, the king used the troops guarding the border to conquer the defense line. There are many similar records, all of which show that Wang Shang failed to take off smoothly, which shows that Zhou Fang's strength cannot be underestimated. To this end, the merchants used all kinds of military forces. In addition to the "defenders", they also sent powerful generals such as Bo and Houtian to make a conquest. After several generations, it was repeated repeatedly. It was not until the late period and period of Shang Zhouwang that Zhou Fang was completely conquered. The fifth Oracle "Wang Bu of Mao Yi, working as a teacher at the entrance, devoted himself to his education, and applied for the position in 10? . Wang said: Ji. August. "Dun, attack, the king in the cave divination, with a cave division attack dun. According to heavenly stems and earthly branches's calculations, the conquest lasted for two months. However, in the third Oracle Bone Inscriptions, besides the Shang King's conquest of Zhou Fang, there is also a record of "Xiao Chen", which only shows that Zhou Fang may have briefly surrendered to the Shang Dynasty for some reason and served as "Xiao Chen" in the Shang royal family. Whether the Great Wall of History was finally conquered by Shang King is not recorded in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. According to the bronzes unearthed in later generations, after the demise of the Shang Dynasty, the people of Zhou State may have been attacked and expelled by the Zhou family. Zhou Fang was a powerful clan in the late Shang Dynasty, and it was extremely restless. Even if Shang Zhouwang is unable to conquer, the Zhou clan will not be spared. There are often traces of "barbarians" in bronzes unearthed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they are widely distributed. Bronzes unearthed in Fufeng, Shaanxi, Fangshan, Beijing and Feixian, Shandong all have the activity track of the Yi people. It is said that the Yi people were defeated by the Zhou people at the end of the Shang Dynasty and were decentralized, and some of them may have surrendered to Zhou and been reused. According to the inscription on the famous bronze ware "Historical Wall Plate" in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Yi people were conquered by Zhou Wuwang, and then Zhou Chengwang unified the management of the Yi people.
