Vol 2 Chapter 6772: A name

God works evil, you can live! Self-initiated, unforgivable!

This sentence is from "Shangshu·Taijia" (middle), which says: "Heaven does evil, and it can still be violated; if you do evil, you cannot live."

The meaning of these words is very simple, the disasters caused by heaven can be avoided; the disasters caused by oneself cannot be escaped.

As for who is this Taijia?

His name is Zizhi. The eldest grandson of Shang Tang, son of Tai Ding, nephew of Wai Bing and Zhong Ren, and the fourth monarch of Shang Dynasty.

And how did this allusion come about?

After this Shang Tang established the Shang Dynasty, he passed away 30 years after he reigned. In the Shang Dynasty, the law of succession was that of brothers and sisters, and if there were no brothers, the throne was passed to the son. Shang Tang had no younger brother, so his eldest son, Taiding, should ascend the throne, but Taiding died earlier than his father, so he was succeeded by Taiding's younger brother Waibing. Wai Bing also passed away after three years of reign, and his younger brother Zhong Ren succeeded to the throne. Zhong Ren died for four years in the reign. At this time, the founding father Yi Yin was in charge, and Tai Ding's son, Tai Jia, inherited the throne.

This Taijia became the fourth monarch of the Shang Dynasty. Of course, despite the four generations of monarchs, the Shang Dynasty is still a newly born country. Still waiting for new things, and because the empire has only been created for decades, and the surrounding tribes have not yet been wiped out, the Shang Dynasty at this time is still very fragile.

Therefore, Yi Yin, the founding father of the Shang Dynasty and the four-dynasty veteran, inherited the throne in Taijia, and wrote three articles for Taijia to read, teaching him how to be a good monarch. There is an article titled "Fate", which specifically talks about how to distinguish between right and wrong. It is clear about what should not be done and what should be done. There is also an article titled "The Queen of Su", which talked about the legal system during the Shang Tang period. It is necessary to educate Taijia to act in accordance with the rules set by the ancestors, not to abandon the ancestral precepts, and to love what you want.

When Taijia succeeded to the throne, he was very trusting, or afraid of Yi Yin, the four-dynasty veteran. Therefore, under the supervision of his auxiliary government, Taijia performed well in the first two years after he succeeded, but not from the third year onwards. Now, he arbitrarily gives orders, enjoys blindly, abuses the people, messes up the government, and undermines the laws and regulations set by Tang. Although Yi Yin persuaded him in every possible way, he couldn't listen. Yi Yin had to exile him to Tonggong near the Shangtang cemetery (now He-Shang-Qiu City-Yu-Cheng County North), and let him reflect on himself and regent himself. When he was in the country, it was called "Yi Yin Fang Taijia" in history. Taijia had been in Tonggong for three years and regretted self-blaming. Yi Yin welcomed him back to Bodu (now Shang-Qiu-Shu Town) and returned to him. Taijia, who was re-introduced, was able to cultivate morality, and all the princes returned to the King of Shang, and the people were peaceful.

This allusion is about the life experience of this Taijia. It was a good chance that a king was improper, and he acted mischievously, and was eventually punished to guard the imperial tomb. You know, the imperial tombs of the early Shang Dynasty were very crude. It was just a tomb and haystack, and then a similarly simple palace was built just for the annual ancestor worship.

In this case, staying there for three years is not a good thing. It was very depressing, and life was very miserable.

Of course, this was also in the early days of the Shang dynasty. If it were put in the descendants, such a king would have been killed long ago. Yi Yin has long since replaced it. Nor will he welcome him back after seeing him reformed and regain his role as a monarch.

As for, who is this Yi Yin? This is also a remarkable figure. That is also the most outstanding figure in Chinese history.

Yi Yin (1649 BC-1549 BC), Yi surname, first name Zhi, nickname Aheng, "Yin" is not a name, but the meaning of "right phase". Born in Kongsang at the end of the Xia Dynasty, Yi was named the clan because his mother lived above the water of Yi. Yi Yin was a famous prime minister, politician, and thinker in the early Shang Dynasty in China, and one of the earliest known Taoist figures. He is also the ancestor of Chinese chefs and the founder of Zhongyuan cuisine.

It can be said that Yi Yin is quite an awesome character. A politician, thinker, one of the earliest Taoists, or the ancestor of the cook, this is the ancestor of the cook. He is also the founder of Central Plains Cuisine. Simply put, the dishes we eat today are all created by him. Without him, we don't know what to eat.

Around the beginning of the 16th century BC, Yi Yin assisted Shang Tang to destroy the Xia Dynasty and made great contributions to the establishment of the Shang Dynasty. The theory of "using a tripod spoon" and "reconciling the five flavors" to govern the world is what Lao Tzu said, "ruling a big country is like cooking small fresh food." This allusion also comes from Yi Yin.

During Yiyin's tenure as prime minister, he rectified his administration and gained insights into the people's sentiments. In the early years of the Shang Dynasty, the economy was relatively prosperous, the politics were clearer, and the Shang Dynasty became stronger and stronger. It laid an extremely solid foundation for the power and conquest of the surrounding Shang Dynasty.

And Yi Yin has been the five monarchs of Shang Tang, Wai Bing, Zhong Ren, Tai Jia, and Wo Ding for more than 50 years, and made great contributions to the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty. In the eight years of Woding, Yi Yin died at the age of 100. Woding buried Yi Yin near the capital city Bo (Jianhe-Nanshan-Qiugu-Southwest of Shuzhen) in the gift of the emperor, in recognition of his great contribution to the Shang Dynasty. Yi Yin was enshrined as "Shang Yuan Sheng" by later generations.

No king of a country can be called a saint, and Yi Yin is called a saint, or a primordial saint. One can imagine how awesome this person is!

Of course, there is one more thing, which is even more surprising. That is, in terms of medical skills, Yi Yin was the first great wizard of the Shang Dynasty. This great wizard is not that kind of very evil wizard, not capable of spells. It's medicine! The earliest such great wizards were all doctors, because they could bring people back to life.

At the earliest stage, when people get sick, they either wait for the body to recover automatically, or they can only wait for death. At that time, medical skills were not popular and were only in the hands of a few people. Because at that time, it was in the Oracle era, and words were very difficult to circulate, only word of mouth. This leaves very few people studying medicine.

Therefore, anyone who knows how to heal is called a great wizard.

And Yi Yin's medical status was compared with Huangdi and Shennong, and became the Three Sages!

To put it simply, this is an extremely awesome character. As for why its reputation is not obvious. Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the Shang Dynasty existed for too long, coupled with the merits of the Shang Dynasty King, so that the greatest impression of the future generations of the Shang Dynasty remained on the tyranny of the Shang Dynasty King.

In addition, the reason for the lack of written records at that time, so it is not so well known to future generations.

At this moment, the blood book on the wall after the death of Mr. Health has written such twelve characters, which is really thought-provoking. what does that mean? Who did this?

You know, although the place where Mr. Health is detained is extremely free, the security forces are also extremely tight, not to mention that no flies can fly in, at least no one can kill people here without knowing it, and leaving blood books.

Who did it?

Two gentlemen, a name came to mind!
