Love between Zhou Wang and da ji (is there true love between Zhou Wang and da ji)

China has a long history and culture. In the long years, many classic figures appeared, and many things happened that made people feel helpless, which eventually became the hot historical materials and fuse of the rise and fall of a dynasty, such as the love story of Zhou Wang and da ji.

People are so familiar with the stories of Zhou Wang and da ji, which has a lot to do with The Romance of Gods. In The Romance of the Gods, da ji is a fox, who seduced Zhou Wang with her beauty, took Zhou Wang to indulge in debauchery all day, and even did many things that hurt Zhongliang.

Because of this, in the eyes of the world, da ji was a witch and the chief culprit of the downfall of Shang Dynasty. However, is this really the case?

According to Zuo Zhuan, in BC 1047, an attack was launched against the Su tribe. Some Su tribes could not resist the powerful attack of the Shang army. Between extinction and kneeling, some Su tribal leaders chose to kneel down and gave all their cattle, sheep and horses beauty da ji. The totem of the Su tribe is a fox, so there is a saying that da ji is a fox.

Zhou Wang's name is Di Xin. This man is a strong-willed man who is good at personal use. He is not only skilled in martial arts, but also eloquent. He is also very elegant and beautiful. He thinks he is an excellent person, so he plans to expand his territory and develop in the southeast with the help of national strength.

Obviously, Di Xin's ability is also good, so he won the conviction of the surrounding tribes, and the eldest son of Ji Chang, king of Zhou Wen, will also become the hostage of Shang Dynasty. Later, this man did something that angered Di Xin, so Di Xin made it into broth, gave it to Ji Chang, and imprisoned Ji Chang for two years. This incident aggravated the contradiction between Zhou and Shang dynasties, and thus laid a curse for the later story development.

In order to get revenge, Jiang Ziya was the strategist, Duke Zhou was the fu, and Duke Bi assisted him. He followed the legacy of King Wen, kept a low profile and made great efforts to govern, rose while indulging in debauchery, and finally succeeded in capturing the Shang Dynasty, killing da ji and establishing the Zhou Dynasty.

Because the Zhou Dynasty ruled for a long time, the King of Zhou definitely wanted to clarify his legitimacy, so he began to discredit Shang Zhouwang constantly, which led to Shang Zhouwang and da ji in our eyes today.

In fact, the relationship between Shang Zhouwang and da ji may not be so good, Shang Zhouwang is not so ignorant, and the disasters caused by da ji may not be true. Shang Zhouwang really likes da ji, but perhaps this kind of love is not between lovers, but regards each other as treasures.

The reason is also very simple, because he was sixty years old when he attacked the Su tribe. At that time, 60 years old can already be called old age. People in this period are far less addicted to beauty than young people.

If Shang Zhouwang's love for da ji is false, then the resulting series of events may also be fictitious or exaggerated.

There is no wind, but I remember that da ji, which has been eaten in ice silkworm for thousands of years, looks even more touching.

It can only be said that the reason why Shang Zhouwang makes such a bad impression is that he has become a loser, so history is always written by winners.
