We know that standing in the 3200th year of the Universal Era, the ancients 6000 years ago, except that we no longer use the cracks on the carapace of reptiles for divination, people today still use stars to confirm the approximate order of the universe. Location, still use beautiful words to praise the great mechanism of creating all matter in this universe.

In the 20th year of Emperor Yi, in 1084 BC, he was 12 years old and she was eight years old.In the past few years, she saw that the men in the tribe went out to hunt more times and worked harder in the fields, and the women weaved hemp almost every day, but it seemed that they did not eat more in their daily lives. Instead, it became less together with the men in the tribe.She heard that the powerful merchant kingdom that the tribe surrendered was recruiting tools and strong men to fight against the barbarians in the east, and the tribe king had to obey orders.

In the first year of Emperor Xin, 1076 BC, he and she were 14 years old.She heard from the elders in the clan that the Shang Kingdom, which needs to go ten times before the sun goes down and ten times before the dawn, has a new King of Shang.It is said that the new Shang king can subdue bears and tigers, kill jackals with both hands, and catch up with fast horses with both feet, which is more powerful than the bravest warriors in the tribe.

It is said that the new King of Shang has an elder brother, just because their mother was just an ordinary concubine when his elder brother was born, and this elder brother named Ziqi could not become King of Shang because of this reason.In addition, it seems that he has two uncles, one named Bigan and the other named Jizi, but these two were not like their tribe. The younger brother of the previous tribal king became the new tribal king.

In the ninth year of Emperor Xin, 1067 BC, he was 27 years old and she was 23 years old.The leader of her tribe chose to donate all the wealth of the tribe and all the women of the tribe, and prostrate at the knees of the king of Shang.With dark clouds and beautiful hair, apricot face and peach cheeks, breast augmentation and slender waist, full buttocks and sculpted legs, she became the concubine of the master of the world. From then on, she got all the love of the only master in the world. From then on, she became the master of everything in the world. everything of.In her opinion, apart from being taller and mightier than the legendary Xing Tian who eats and talks with his stomach, every word the King of Shang utters seems to be conveying the truth of the world, and every sound he makes is announcing an order that the listener must obey.

To his subjects, the king of Shang's words were as low and powerful as the big copper cymbal. Even if the long-nosed elephant of the big copper cymbal was here, it might not be as impressive as the king of Shang.To the barbarians, the King of Shang is like the thunder and flood bestowed by the gods and ghosts, which can make the barbarians feel timid just by hearing the name of the King of Shang from a distance.To the harem, King Shang's voice is just like the melody of the legendary Ling Lun, vigorous and soft, firm and tender.

In the 29th year of Emperor Xin, in 1047 BC, he was 47 years old and she was 43 years old.King Shang's uncle, the pillar of the Shang Kingdom who had been active in the Shang court for more than 40 years, and the one who was expected to become the King of Shang, was executed.In the same year, King Shang's elder brother Ziqi fled. Many people don't know where he went, but it is rumored that he fled to Zhoudi.

In the 30th year of Emperor Xin, in 1046 BC, he was 48 years old and she was 44 years old.Chaoge, the defected slaves led Zhou Bojifa and the army of the princes to attack Chaoge.King Shang had no fear, no anger, no resentment.On the contrary, the determination and disdain of the king of Shang when he looked at the murderous enemy army in the distance, and the lingering and sighing when he looked around at the prosperity and majesty of Chaoge, made the concubines and followers around the king of Shang also feel relieved from the panic and panic. calm down.

In what Ziqi and others said to the king of Shang and her all over the world, the king of Shang disrespected the law, appointed villains and was tyrannical, and the stories and legends of the tyrannical nature were all whispered by her around the king of Shang. closely linked.

At this time, King Shang and she already understood that after the inevitable city breaks, King Shang's head will inevitably become one of the tools used by the new owner of this land to swear royal power, and her body, her head, will also It will definitely become the target of legends and rumors to vent their anger.He and she decided to use the decency of the emperor to end this legendary and interesting life...

King Shang wore jade clothes, and took his favorite concubine—she, together to the Lutai, ended his and her lives with torches, and also ended the Yin Shang Dynasty that lasted for 20 days and nights. .In order to swear the establishment of the new dynasty and the fall of the old dynasty, Ji Fa chopped off his and her scorched heads with an ax and displayed them on the gate of Chaoge.

His name was Di Xin, and later generations called him King Zhou.She took the tribal name "Su" as her surname, and her name was Daji. He and him were all sins and faults in some interpretations and jokes by later generations, and became the people who needed to take full responsibility for the demise of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

The greatness of the Yin Shang Dynasty lies in that it allowed this young civilization to continue tenaciously during the process of moving the capital several times proactively, and that it wrote down the characters later called "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" on the bones and carapaces of animals, and gave birth to the The unique writing system that has been passed down to this day lies in the fact that it seems to be trying to conquer the people of the world and expand the limits of the country's borders until the country is destroyed.

The greatness of Zhou lies in finding the epoch-making way of feuding the frontiers and building land, and continuing the expansion of this civilization to the border of this land endowment area, which is almost regarded as the only correct one in the past 800 years governance system.Part of such a system was compiled into "Zhou Guan" during the Zhou Dynasty.Later, several politicians who advocated or opposed the Zhou system all quoted the sentences in this great book.

Nearly 1000 years after the death of Ji Dan, the editor of "Zhou Guan", who was later called Duke of Zhou, Liu Xin, a great Confucian scholar, reorganized this book with his genius insight and talent to record the almost perfect era. The institutional work of Zhou became known as "Zhou Li" in later generations. "Zhou Li" not only entrusts Liu Xiang and Liu Xin's father and son's admiration and responsibility for historical materials, but also entrusts the expectations of the reformer who tried to turn the tide of the empire at that time, Wang Mang, Duke of Anhan at that time.

The well field, which may be proposed out of the Confucian ideal of equal wealth, is like the word "well" in actual operation. A piece of cultivated land with a length of more than 12.00 meters and a width of more than 200 meters is divided into nine equal parts, and each of the eight households cultivates one part as a Own food consumption.At the same time, the eight households cultivated the remaining piece at the same time, and all their output was handed over to the state.Under such a system, if other taxes are not calculated, the tax rate of land rent is [-]% . The optimal tax rate between people's livelihood and the operation of the country.However, such an ideal idea was not actually implemented in the Zhou Dynasty referred to in "Zhou Rituals". Due to the strong local forces accumulated in the previous era, it also died without a problem.

The stars are moving, and the stars are moving, which is worthy of the name.When Di Xin became the King of Shang, he was full of ambition to use his will to instill every inch of land and every people in the universe. When he stood on the high platform of Chaoge, he wanted to combine the inner connection between the ghosts and gods admired by the merchants and the stars in the sky. At that time, the bright spot in the north that he saw was β Ursa Minor.Later, when King Wu of Zhou became the master of this piece of land that everyone later called the land of China, the North Star he saw was still β Ursa Minor on a dark night with clear skies.Until Wang Mang and others looked up at the sky, trying to find the prophecy that the great man would perish and the new dynasty would be established, the North Star they saw was still β Ursa Minor.And when humans discovered the Star Tunnel and began to step out of the solar system and enter the universe, Polaris was already Alpha Ursa Minor.By the year 3000 of the cosmic era, that is, the year when the "History of Human Cosmos Development" began to be compiled, the celestial body on the earth that still points north according to the traditional definition has become γ Cepheus.And in another 1 years, on the earth, the bright celestial body pointed by the North Pole will become Vega...

When Dixin assembled the troops that had surrendered earlier and the few merchants who remained in Chaoge to defend against the tribal alliance led by Xibo Jifa, the iron asteroid that Dr. Gu Lanlan discovered in 2081 AD was about to destroy mankind. The earth is about three trillion kilometers away.Over the next 3000 years, the wars for political power and the right to survive of tribes took place again and again in different ways, but these subtle actions among human beings did not affect the trajectory of the world-destroying asteroid itself towards Mars .However, in the 3000 years of development of civilization, human beings in the 22nd century have achieved great self-saving through their own last efforts.

Daji, Di Xin, Ji Fa, Ji Dan, Liu Xin, Wang Mang, Zhou Li.The veins of civilization may be deflected or turned due to some accidental or inevitable inducements, but because of human's own will, intelligence, desire and fear, it will zigzag forward in a broader historical road.Here we look back at the replacement of Shang and Zhou 6000 years ago, at the New Mang Dynasty 5000 years ago, and at the failed reform movement 800 years ago that was short-lived and rested on many utopian political ideals in the earth age. emotion.

Daji, the woman whose birth date is unknown and whose death year has been lost into history along with the great Yin Shang dynasty and the last emperor Di Xin, uses her life of legend, obedience and beauty for more than forty years, and the last moment of the last barbaric dynasty linked together.Assuming that her soul could stare at this vicissitudes, ever-changing world and universe forever, as the metaphysician said, how would she lament the greatness and insignificance of human beings, the vastness and emptiness and darkness of the universe.
