Many people got to know Duke Zhou through his ceremony, and his impression of easy search at school was just an impression of dream interpretation. However, after careful study, this is not the case. -Now, Duke Zhou is a great figure who often appears in Confucius' dreams, and he is the most admired person by Confucius. Therefore, for a long time, Duke Zhou had the highest position in the eastern culture dominated by Confucianism. In addition, Duke Zhou has a deep relationship with the Book of Changes, which can be said to be a key figure in the inheritance of Chinese civilization.
Duke Zhou laid down all the etiquette rules in our daily life, including newly-married roommates. Now it's called Zhou.
It is said that the relationship between men and women was very chaotic in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Duke Zhou found this wrong, so he stipulated that men and women should not have sex before marriage, unless it was the wedding day. And the wedding activities are divided into seven links in detail, namely, receiving gifts, asking names, Naji, receiving gifts, going to appointments, welcoming relatives and giving thanks. Each link has specific and detailed regulations, which are collectively called "Seven Wedding Ceremonies".
There is another episode. In order to let people know how to perform the "Seven Rites", Duke Zhou and his wife visited together and made their own statement. But in Allen, I can't play anymore. Allen is a couple's wedding.
After a moment's hesitation, Duke Zhou saw his son Boqin fiddling with a gourd and two gourds. Inspired, I took out a pair of primitive gourds and spoons. Metaphorically, it was like chaos before separation, but it was different after separation. Its etiquette is androgyny, and everything in the world is based on this principle, so Yin and Yang are in harmony, and Gankun is orderly. They are law-abiding and have many children.
Of course, Duke Zhou's ceremony is not just about
Duke Zhou's thought of respecting morality and protecting the people is the direct source of Confucianism. Later, "Li" evolved from "". Duke Zhou stayed at a respectful distance from others. He was virtuous and committed, and there were differences between men and women. A large number of in-laws and governors were blocked, and the Jing Tian system was implemented.
There are seventy-one small countries in Zhou Wuwang and the Duke of Zhou, which were divided into states and established. This is the real feudal society in history, which began in the Western Zhou Dynasty and ended in the unification of Qin.
The son of heaven distributed the land to the princes of Wang Jianli, a small country, as the screen vassal of the central government. Every vassal state regards itself as a "country", manages its small country independently, redistributes the land to its nobles and finally distributes it to farmers. Farmers enjoy long-term management and use rights, but they have to bear taxes, military service and odd jobs.
Governors must obey the emperor's orders, pay tribute to him, appear before him regularly, and lead troops to fight with him.
According to reports, during the reign of Kang Wang in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the world was peaceful and there was no punishment for more than 40 years. This is a great prosperity in the history of China and the first golden age of China. It can be seen that the energy of Zhou Gongli is by no means empty talk.
After learning about The Book of Rites of Duke Zhou, let's learn about Duke Zhou again.
Duke of Zhou, surnamed Ji Mingdan, the fourth son of Ji Chang, the king of Zhou, and Zhou Wuwang, the younger brother of Ji Fa. He helped Zhou Wuwang make two voyages to Zhou Wang, and the ceremony and music went hand in hand, which standardized all social conditions and laid the foundation for the rule of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years.
Jia Yi said of Duke Zhou: Before Confucius, after the Yellow Emperor, Duke Zhou was the only person in China who had a lot of connections.
Zhou's father is Hou Ji's fourteenth grandson.
It was found that Shang Zhouwang Jichang, also known as Xibohou, was dissatisfied with his tyrannical killing behavior. It is said that he sighed, was found by Chonghou Tiger, and then made a small report to Ji Chang, saying that Jichang had done a good deed in Zhou and was highly respected. At the moment, he shows dissatisfaction and may seize the king's world. So the tyrannical Zhou Wang arrested Ji Chang, put him in a prison in Youzhou, set up checkpoints at different levels, closely monitored him, and prevented him from contacting the outside world.
Ji Chang had nothing to do in prison, so he began to study the gossip handed down by his ancestors. Because of the busy state affairs, I didn't have time to learn knowledge before. Nowadays, in such a closed environment, in order to know the news of the outside world and relatives, studying gossip is the shortest way.
Because of the harsh environment and no tortoise shells and utensils, he can only use yarrow grown in prison for divination deduction.
Outside, Shang Zhouwang heard that he fiddled with yarrow all day in prison, but he didn't care too much at first. But after a long time, I was still worried, so I began to test whether he really had the ability to predict the future. The solution is to kill Ji Chang's eldest son, Boyi Kao, and make a meat soup for Ji Chang to eat, and see if he can figure it out.
From 055 to 79000, it was explained that a fox spirit entered da ji's body and acted recklessly with Shang Zhouwang. Ji Chang's eldest son Boyi came to Beijing to visit his father, but da ji took a fancy to him. But Boyi didn't get in, so da ji held a grudge and came up with such a deadly trap.
Ji Chang didn't eat his son's flesh. After the delivery man left, he spit out all the broth he had eaten. And the spit rabbit is alive and kicking. Now, in the northwest corner of Bali City, not far from the office of Zhou Wen JI Wang Changbaguazhang, there is a less obvious tomb, which is Bo Yikao Tomb, also called "Tuer Tomb". Up to now, in this place of Bali, people have never killed rabbits because they know that rabbits are made by Wang Wen's son.
Later, Ji Chang, who had been imprisoned for seven years, was released under the bribe of beauty and treasure.
Of course, Ji Chang is not the only one who is proficient in gossip. His father's father Zhou is an expert in gossip. He had long predicted that a wise man would appear in the Zhou Dynasty to assist the king. Yes, this wise man is Jiang Ziya.
Later, with the help of Jiang Ziya, Ji Chang began to expand its territory and became stronger and stronger when Zhou Wang relaxed its vigilance. this is a
Having said so much, what does it have to do with Duke Zhou? Of course it matters. Duke Zhou is also a figure in their family. He can read the Book of Changes and gossip. Wen Jichang's last wish was that Duke Zhou assisted his brother Wu Wang and Ji Fa Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Later, with the help of the Duke of Zhou, Wu Wang and Ji Fa successfully won the Shang Dynasty.
After receiving the eulogy, Shang Zhouwang set himself on fire. Such a huge Yin-Shang dynasty could not be completely controlled by King Wu in an instant. So, he handed over the political power to his son, Wu Geng, and practiced Yin autonomy. Later, he established three supervisory countries in the east, south and north of Chao Ge, which was also the idea of Duke Zhou.
In the fourth year of the demise of Shang Dynasty, namely 1043 BC, King Wu died. Shi Zai, because his son Wang was young, his last words gave the emperor's position to his younger brother. However, the Duke of Zhou did not accept the throne.
Wang Cheng, who was only 13 years old, acceded to the throne, so Duke Zhou began to assist Wu Wang's son in governing the country. In this regard, Wang Cheng's uncles Guan Shu and Cai Shu were very dissatisfied, so they made a rumor that the Duke of Zhou wanted to seek power and usurp the throne and joined forces with Wu Geng to rebel. Of course, the end result was destroyed by the Duke of Zhou, which is the famous rebellion of three prisons in history.
Why did the young King Cheng trust Duke Zhou so much? Because he had a secret investigation and found a secret of Duke Zhou.
According to historical records, the sanitary condition in Ji Fa, Zhou Wuwang is very poor. Duke Zhou once offered sacrifices in private and prayed for the protection of the gods in heaven. He is willing to die with his own life instead of King Wu. He also said that he is proficient in the Book of Changes and gossip, which is convenient for serving "ghosts and gods". At that time, in the era of extreme faith.
A king of the Zhou Dynasty became king after seven years in office. When he came of age, he returned to him and became a minister in the north. King Cheng made great contributions to the Duke of Zhou's rule of the world and named him Qufu. Fiona Fang, 700 miles away, has thousands of chariots, ordering future generations to sacrifice the Duke of Zhou with gifts from the Emperor of Heaven.
Shen Pu summarized the achievements of Duke Zhou's life as: one year to save chaos, two years to suppress Yin, three years to practice election, four years to build, five years to become a week, six years to make music, and seven years to become a king.
In fact, his contribution and influence are far from being detailed in history books.
