Business didn't come out of thin air, but it wasn't like the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, when a revolution broke out at home and then a new country was founded. In fact, Xia, Shang and Zhou countries coexist in parallel. The reason why there are Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties is only because they have successively dominated the hegemony of the Central Plains. I have already talked about summer, so let's talk about business now. But if you want to talk about business, you need to tell a story first, that is, the famous? Xuanniao Shengshang? . What is a mysterious bird? In fact, it is a swallow. How can it give birth to a business?
It is said that the chief of Wa's family is Judie. One day, she went to take a bath in the water of Xuanqiu with several sisters. At this time, it happened that a mysterious bird passed by with a bird's egg in its mouth. Maybe it didn't catch well and the bird's egg fell. Judie looked at the bright color of the egg and ate it. Who knows that just after eating, I feel pregnant. After October, Qi was born. This is the matriarchal society at that time? Only know that his mother has never heard of his father? A portrayal of.
After Qi was born, he was smart, kind and courteous, and good at listening to enlightenment. So Judie told Qi what he knew about astronomy and personnel, and taught him to be willing to give benefits, respect the old and love the young. Under the mother's inculcation, Qi enjoys a good reputation. When Emperor Yao heard this, he named him Stuart and sealed him in Bo. Under the guidance of Qi, people are friendly to each other and simple in folk customs. Shun acceded to the throne, the deed? Have you lived in Bo since then? . Qi, also known as Kui Bo, is the earliest male direct ancestor of Shang people's sacrifice, and is considered as the ancestor of Shang.
Qi became the ancestor, not only because he was a benevolent chieftain, but also because he invented the calendar based on the fire, and was named Huozheng. When using fire, fire? That's right. But this? Fire? It means big Mars. Therefore, there is a legend in later generations that the deed helped the merchants to save the fire, which is purely imaginary. Because as early as the caveman period, early Homo sapiens had learned how to preserve fire. Is it true that Dayu has established kingship, and subjects all over the Central Plains will not preserve fire?
Therefore, Qi is admired by the whole world, and it is obviously managing something more advanced, such as astronomy. He built a high platform in his fief to observe the changes of the stars, and based on this, he measured the natural changes of a year and the quality of the year, which made great contributions to the ancient astronomy in China.
For example, at the end of March, just after the big Mars appeared, Kui Bo called on people to set fire to the wasteland and start farming. When the quail fire appeared in September (referring to Liuxing), that is, when the big Mars disappeared at dusk, Kui Bo called on people to make a fire at home, and it was not allowed to put wildfires outside, because the weather was dry and rainy at this time, which was prone to fire.
Great Mars is the antares of seven of the twenty-eight lodgings in the Eastern Palace (in Shang Dynasty, the sky was divided into four palaces, namely black dragon in the Eastern Palace, Suzaku in Nangong, White Tiger in the Western Palace and Xuanwu in Bei Gong). Mars belongs to the fourth and fifth lodging in the center of the East Palace? Room and heart, that is, the alpha star of Scorpio; The star is "Historical Records? The white tiger mentioned in the book of heavenly palace belongs to the main star of Orion in the west. First, because Mars is a red first-class bright star, it is easy for people to see and remember. Second, it is a star, which can be used as a fixed marker, and it happens to be the agricultural time in China whenever the Great Mars appears at dawn in the east? Equinox? In the season, when the big Mars disappeared in the west, it was there again? Autumn equinox? The season. Therefore, the later Shang Dynasty set the month when Mars first appeared before dawn as the beginning of the year, which is the lunar calendar. The end of the lunar year is just when the big Mars disappears, when the sun travels to the east of the heart again. Outside, big Mars reappeared in the east before sunrise in the morning.
Because Qi discovered the reason why Mars runs, and formulated what people later said? Yin Li? So, people also call it? Shang xing? . Shang zu and later Shang people regarded the astronomical changes of Mars as a harbinger of misfortune. Such as Zuo Zhuan? Nine years of xianggong "contains:? When a businessman reads his troubles, he must start with fire, so he knows that he has a heavenly way. ? So for businessmen, none of the stars in the Twenty-eight Nights is as important as Mars. Later, the Shang people also sacrificed Bo with Mars.
besides knowing? Fire? Outside, but also good governance? Water? . Historical Records? Yin Benji has? Qi Chang Zuo Yu has made contributions to water control? The record. Not only that, under his leadership, the Shang people produced many pottery and bronze wares, so he sent people to transport these extra utensils to neighboring tribes in exchange for other products. As a result, Qi's fame spread more and more widely in the Central Plains. Finally? Emperor Shun still lives for Stuart? . At that time, Stuart was responsible for teaching the five religions of human relations and sacrificial rites, and needed to organize manpower to reclaim wasteland where needed, and to teach handicraft skills everywhere, such as how to make better pottery with fire, or how to smelt exquisite bronze.
After the death of Kui Bo, people missed him very much and felt his merits, so they buried him in the commercial land with reverence. According to the custom at that time, everyone who came to mourn him had to add a mound of loess to his grave. Because there are so many people, Kui Bo's grave has actually piled up into a hill. Because it is in a commercial place, it is called Shangqiu, which is the origin of Shangqiu's name today.
in addition, the source of the merchants spread by Qin people.
Historical Records? Yin Benji said? In a threesome bath, when a bird falls its eggs, Judie takes it and swallows it, thus giving birth to a contract. ? And "Historical Records? Qin Benji records:? When a mysterious bird falls an egg, a woman will swallow it and have children. ? It can be seen that the origins of the two ethnic groups are very similar, so the Qin clan created the following legend in order to distinguish it from the birth of the Shang clan. Prove Qin Zheng by Shang evil.
It is said that three women stripped naked in the spring to see whose body is white and tender. A peddler saw from a distance that the meat was hidden behind the bush, and he had a bad heart. He emptied a swallow's egg, wrote words on it, went around to a high place, and secretly put it? Word egg? Throw it down. Three women saw an egg falling from the sky and floating in the water. When they picked it up, they even wrote words. At this point, the peddler pretended to shake the drum and pass by. The woman asked the peddler what was written on his egg. The peddler took it, looked at it, and said that God told women to sleep with themselves. If they didn't obey God's command, there would be torrential rains and floods. The three women were afraid of God's punishment and had to submit. Qin people say this peddler is it? Businessman? The father of? Three women are better than the body? Is it? A threesome? ，? Throw a word egg? Corresponding? Drop its eggs? . In addition, when Qin unified the text, Rape? The word is three women, and the peddler is raping three women? A profiteer? .
