Do you know Shang Zhouwang?

Speaking of Shang Zhouwang, indulging in debauchery, terminating, imposing heavy penalties and refusing to remonstrate, is simply a vivid image of a tyrant.

Speaking of Shang Zhouwang, indulging in debauchery, terminating, imposing heavy penalties and refusing to remonstrate, is simply a vivid image of a tyrant.

It is said that watching some historical dramas is good for learning. Yes, I also read a novel that went through the Ming Dynasty at first, and I was very interested in history. The Ming Dynasty and Romance of the Three Kingdoms that we usually read can improve our historical literacy.

? Do you still remember Romance of the Gods and Young Hero Little Nezha? Although there are some myths, there are also some historical facts. In the play, Shang Zhouwang, who is fatuous and heartless, built a great project and ignored the people, leaving such an impression on the people watching the play.

? First of all, Shang Zhouwang-this is the nickname given to him by later generations. Who are the descendants? It was the Zhou Dynasty that destroyed the Shang Dynasty.

? Killing innocent thieves is tiring and harmful.

But objectively speaking, is Shang Zhouwang really just cruel?

? No, no, no. He has made many contributions, not to mention surpassing the cruel monarch of the king in history. This product is famous because it became famous earlier, and many history books have given it a "close-up". Nowadays, the cruelty of propaganda in words and film and television works makes his complete image unable to be presented to the world.

? Du Fu's poetic style was more heroic than that of Li Bai when he was young, and he embarked on the road of cadence in his later years. The same is true of Di Xin (Shang Zhouwang). In the first half of his life, his fame and wisdom will still be admired today, but in the second half, he was unable to do so and embarked on the road of fatuity:

Listen to me carefully:

? One: Listen to what women say.

The Zhou royal family accused him of this crime. Can the female compatriots of the Women's Federation disagree and say I disagree? What's wrong with women? In ancient times, they preferred sons to daughters, so they were criticized for this, but this continuation lasted for thousands of years, and the matriarchal system in primitive society was also the boss! But look at the Shang people. Women have a high status and have the right to speak. They can not only bring some wars, but also have their own magnificent graves. Since the Zhou Dynasty, society has suppressed women. Is it just a Su Daji who denies all women?

? 2. da ji missed the country

? Da ji lost a country alone? You're kidding! BC 1047, the Su tribe was defeated by its 60-year-old son and gave it to da ji. The following year, the Shang Dynasty perished. In just one year, how can it be wrong?

First, in feudal ancient times, men's faults often made women take the blame. But Mr. Lu Xun said:

Second, according to historical records, some behaviors of da ji are unfavorable to the country.

"Today's Shang kings only obey women's words" —— Shangshu Zhou Shu's pastoral oath

"Bandits fall from the sky, women are born"-Yi Zhoushu

……

? What's wrong with favoring a concubine? Favoring a concubine is national subjugation. Many emperors of past dynasties were three thousand harem beauties. It is common to spoil this today and spoil that tomorrow. But why does da ji miss this country? Is it because she is the last concubine? There are many such examples in history. How romantic it would be if another person really gave everything for a woman!

Third: evade responsibility.

If you think that the king is innocent, it will not be worth the loss, so you put the blame on Feiji.

Fourth: don't poke the clouds to see the moon.

The novel demonizes and belittles da ji, and people never want to explore the true face of da ji. My impression of her is the vicious image in The Romance of Gods, which brings disaster to the country and people. Coupled with the popularity of film and television today. Just pursuing the pleasure of eyeballs will solidify her impression.

3. Don't pay attention to sacrifice

Now, it doesn't matter whether you still worship the God of Wealth, God, Kitchen God and Door God. After all, this is the traditional culture of China. Now influenced by Marxism, we stick to materialism. I don't believe in God, do I? Besides, we usually pray for good luck. We don't believe in God, but we always don't believe in ourselves, and the illusory God becomes the carrier.

In ancient times, in order to prove the legitimacy of the seized power, it was said that it was given by God. For the benefit of the people, how many people will benefit from worshipping God's money every year?

It is said that in Shang Dynasty, there were emperors who sacrificed ancestors and natural gods, but in Zhou Dynasty, it was heaven who deified kingship. Di Xin doesn't pay attention to sacrifice, which is actually a good thing. First, superstition can be broken; Second, it can reduce the loss of wealth; Third, people will not die inexplicably.

? Sacrifice, sacrifice, there must be sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice. What's more, there is a saying of human sacrifice. Although the number of human sacrifices decreased with the development of Shang Dynasty, there were some cases, so Di Xin did a good thing at this point. (Although the people were pushed to another fire pit) At the end of Shang Dynasty, the sacrificial system was quite complete. Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed in later generations can prove it. It is wrong for the Zhou Dynasty to take the blame like this. People just reduced their sacrifices. Everything you say should be divined and sacrificed to ghosts and gods. What is the efficiency? And it's not a good thing that the priest is in power!

Fourth, drinking.

? In ancient times, drinking was also an expression. Li Bai, a poet, never gets drunk after a thousand cups. Su Shi ignored his livelihood for drinking. Today, there are still people who drown their sorrows in wine. Is this illegal? No, it's a personal habit at most. How to manage personal hobbies? It is not surprising that many dynasties had ministers in charge of the emperor's harem, not to mention personal hobbies. Drinking is not illegal, is it? Drink up. What happened? Just don't delay the affairs of state.

5. Don't reuse the old nobles.

Why reuse it? Why not reuse it?

Imagine if you were the last emperor. Let's not talk about whether we can resist the temptation of serving the country and the people. In the face of a group of court ministers, can you tell which one is Zhongliang Minister at a glance?

Know people's faces but don't know their hearts: in terms of face value, Wang Jingwei is the first person in the Republic of China. It is conceivable that he once had the bloodiness to assassinate the Regent and became a traitor. On talent, Qin Gui was the founder of the Song Dynasty, but he killed Yue Fei on trumped-up charges and became a sinner through the ages. Not to mention Cao Cao, a vicious person, in terms of ability.

So the court gives you the power, and it is your business to appoint or not. If you are right, you will be famous. If you are wrong, your name will be remembered through the ages. This is how to choose. What's more, there was another aristocratic conflict. What shall we do? Di Xin attacked the nobles and saved the Shang Dynasty. This is right.

There are no good guys and bad guys in history, only winners and losers. History is written by winners!

Six, listen to the villain

That's true. Torture is used, villains are used, ... (Of course, Di Xin's killing of Beagan is also open to question. There are many versions, and Di Xin also appointed ministers. )

In fact, many of Xin's accusations can be established, but it is difficult to change this solidified impression in people's minds. At this moment, Di Xin is going to get angry again. Qin Shihuang's cruelty has also spread, but many people know his achievements, and Di Xin also has achievements.

First, expand the territory.

After Di Xin acceded to the throne, he attached great importance to the development of the territory, sent troops to conquer many times, and extended the territory of China to the Jianghuai area, which once expanded the land area.

Second, against the old aristocracy.

? At that time, the aristocracy was very powerful, and there was little chance for the middle and lower classes to be officials. However, Di Xin broke this precedent, attaching great importance to civilians and slaves, and only using talents. This is also a big step forward.

Third, reform the sacrifice.

In an era when theocracy is greater than sovereignty, it is not good to be overly superstitious about ghosts and gods. Di Xin's reform is progressive.

Fourth, attach importance to agriculture and mulberry and appoint talents.

……

Hey, let's talk about Di Xin's personality again.

Gifted, SHEN WOO, with a keen sense of smell, it's true.

Sima Qian described in Historical Records: "Wisdom is enough to refuse remonstration, and words are enough to cover up right and wrong; Unfortunately, people and ministers are capable now, and the world is high, thinking that they are all under themselves. " Wisdom can refuse the advice of officials, and eloquence can whitewash mistakes. With talent, he boasted in front of ministers, raised himself everywhere with prestige, and thought that no one in the world could compare with him. This may be because Di Xin was too proud to listen to other people's opinions, and finally the country was destroyed.

However, Sima Qian also described Di Xin as very clever, knowledgeable, eloquent, quick-witted and powerful. He can fight wild animals with his bare hands, and his image is not bad.

? The Buddha said, "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha." That is, putting down the butcher's knife for the bad guys is the premise of becoming a good guy. Abandoning evil deeds and doing good can become buddhas. But changing from a bad person to a good person will be praised, while changing from a good person to a bad person will be spurned. Why not pity?

There is no good or bad history, only "the winner is king and the loser is the enemy". Di Xin is a loser, and history books are written by winners. Looking at every historical figure in an all-round way, although they are all in the past tense, is not easy for everyone.
