can be answered from the following three aspects.
☞Where is the Central Plains?
Where is the Central Plains? From a realistic perspective, the Central Plains refers to the Henan area, which can be expanded to northern Hebei and eastern Shandong.
Compete for the Central Plains. Those who win the Central Plains will win the world, which is also the area. The reasons are: 1. Most plains are here, with rich resources, and the world's granary; 2. Because the plains are easy to plant and produce high yields, they feed more people, and there are troops; 3. The transportation is convenient, and the world is in the world.
If you have any questions, let’s take a look at where ancient China is!
Erlitou site located in Yanshi, Luoyang, Henan, is a carefully planned, huge and orderly dynasty capital. Many ancient Chinese capitals and political systems originated from this. Excavations began in 1959, and a large number of stone tools, pottery, jade, bronze, bone horn and clams were unearthed. Among them, the discovery of the Erlitou site, the earliest bronze container in China, has unveiled the mystery of the ancient " Xiadu ". To this day, the Erlitou site has proved to be the remains of the middle and late capital of the Xia Dynasty , which has become a common consensus in the academic community.
Shang Dynasty was originally established in the Shangqiu area in Henan Province, and later moved to the area near Zhengzhou and Anyang area. The Yinxu ruins located in Anyang mainly include the foundation of the city wall, the big ash ditch, the road, the foundation of the rammed earth building, the residence of the crypt and semi-underground burials, the ash pits and cellars, the wells, the sacrificial remains, the ruins of the handicraft workshops, the royal tomb area, the family cemetery and the chariot pit, etc. Yin Ruins is the first capital ruins in Chinese history that can be found in literature and is confirmed by archaeology and oracle bone inscriptions. Therefore, the Yin capital Anyang is ranked first among the ancient capitals of China.
From this we can see that ancient China was in the Henan area, in the heart of the Central Plains, and there was no other place.
☞ Xibohou Where is the fief of?
, who are the ancestors of in the weekly family?
"Shan Hai Jing·Hai Nei Jing" records that " Hou Ji is to spread hundreds of grains. Ji's grandson was called Shujun (son of Tai Xi), and he started to work (ox) farming." Sima Qian 's " Zhou Dynasty " is based on " Shangshu·Yaodian " and "Shangshu·Gao Yaomo" and "Hou Ji's rise was in the Tang, Yu and Xia." The eldest brother, Dizhi, gave way to the fourth brother, Tang Yao, in the ninth year. The emperor, Emperor Yao, knew that he understood the way of Jiafeng, so he was called the "Garmer" and was named Zhou. When Emperor Shun 4 was about to be short of food, the emperor ordered him to sow hundreds of grains and granted him the title of "Houji". Later, the descendants reproduced and gradually became stronger, and this was Zhou.
The reason why King Wen of Zhou was called Xibo: In order to curb the Zhou tribe, King Wending of Shang summoned Jili (the father of King Wen of Zhou) to Yindu , nominally named "Fang Bo", known as "Zhou Xibo", and was the leader of the Western princes. In fact, he was killed on false charges after a period of house arrest, and the Zhou people buried Ji Li in Mount Chu. After Ji Li's death, Ji Chang succeeded to the throne and became Xibochang.
Where is his fiefdom? In the Guanzhong Plain area, it is not even Gansu, and it is called weeks original . The original site of Zhou is located in Fufeng and Qishan in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. It is 70 kilometers long from east to west and about 20 kilometers wide from north to south and has a total area of about 33 square kilometers. It is a large ancient site from the 11th century BC to the 8th century BC. A large number of varnish bones, varnish , and a large number of precious national treasure bronzes have been unearthed. Zhou was the birthplace of Zhou culture and the settlement of Zhou people before the destruction of the Shang Dynasty. It is known as " Bronze Land HTML ".
☞Who is there outside ancient China?
Shang Dynasty , like the Xia Dynasty, was a family and kingdom supported by the great clans, and implemented the feudal system . The actual control of the dynasty is near the capital, which is where their tribesmen live. Extending outward means to divide the enfeoffment to large tribes.
How big is the actual control of Shang Dynasty? We can see from , after King Wu conquered Zhou, and destroyed Shang and divided the feudal.
Zhou Wang After destroying the Shang Dynasty, he sealed the son of Zhou Zhou Wu Geng on Shangdu to control the descendants of the Shang Dynasty.On this basis, King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, appointed his younger brothers, Guan Shu, , Cai Shu, and Huo Shu, as marquis, supervising Wu Geng, these three princes are collectively called ", three supervisors, ".
After King Wu of Zhou, King Cheng of Zhou was young and was regent. Guan Shuxian, the leader of the third prison, was naturally very dissatisfied with this, so he instigated Wu Geng and others to launch a rebellion. As a result, after Zhou Gong quelled the rebellion, Guan Shuxian was killed and Guan Guo was abolished.
Zhou Gongdan assisted King Cheng of Zhou to quell the rebellion of the Three Supervisors, followed the tradition of "restoring and destroying", and conferred the elder brother of King Zhou of Shang in the old capital of Shang dynasty, and established the Song Dynasty. He specially allowed him to use the rituals and music of the emperor to worship the ancestral sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty and serve as guests with Zhou. It can be seen above
that the son of King Zhou was first enfeoffed in Anyang area, and then the brothers of King Zhou were enfeoffed in Shangqiu area. The old land of the Shang Dynasty was probably from Anyang to Shangqiu. This is the heartland. In line with the concept of Central Plains.
There are guarded countries around
, such as Western Zhou , called Xibo. In line with the concept of the Great Central Plains.
and the periphery, such as Gansu, are the residence of Qiang people . The north is the ghost. The offshore areas of Shandong are called Dongyi . Hubei is a barbaric land to the south.
Central Plains, probably that's it.
