Fu said that there was no surname or clan in this article. According to Wu Ding's edict, the surname Fu was given, and he was a politician and military strategist in ancient China. This legendary prime minister, who was born in a slave, was appointed by Wu Ding because he was engaged in the construction of Fu Yan (now Pingludong, Shanxi). Therefore, he took Fu as his surname. The story told by Wu Ding Jufu was very popular in the pre-Qin period and was one of the example stories of the sage kings who chose the wise and the noble.
Fu said before entering politics, he was a slave and worked hard in Fu Yan. It is the junction of Yu and Guo, and it is also a major transportation route. Because the flowing water in the mountain stream often destroys the road, the slaves built a road protection here. Fu said that he only relied on engaging in the construction industry to make a living. Even though he had talent, he could not perform it.
When Wu Ding's uncle Xiao Xin and his father Xiao Yi , the Shang Dynasty was already very weak. After Wu Ding ascended the throne, he wanted to revive the Shang Dynasty, but there were no wise ministers to assist him, so he didn't speak for three years, and he left all the state affairs to Tomb Priest HTML to manage, and he observed the national style himself. One day, he had a dream and dreamed of a wise man and said, "I am a prisoner, surnamed Fu, and name is Shuo. If anyone in the world can find me, he will know that I am not just a prisoner."
Wu Ding woke up and analyzed: "Fu" means auxiliary, and "Shuo" means joy. Is there anyone in the world who can both assist me and make the people happy? So the painter drew pictures based on his impression in his dream and sent people to search everywhere. As a result, he found a prisoner named Shuo between Yu and Guo near the North Sea, which was very similar to the picture. Fu Shuo was taken to Shangdu. When Wu Ding saw him, he talked to him and decided that he was the wise man in his dream, so he appointed him as prime minister. As a result, the Shang Dynasty revitalized it. "Records of the Grand Historian: The Original Annals of Yin" believes that Fu Shuo originally had no surname, but only named "Shuo". Because he was found here in Fu Yan, "Fu" was his surname, called "Fu Shuo". Fu said that starting from rectifying the court rules, he advised Wu Ding to reduce tribute during sacrifices and to be an example.
Wu Ding obeyed Fu's advice, took action from the royal family, rectified corruption, and vigorously promoted the new policy. Fu Shuo lived up to expectations and fully demonstrated his talent in civil and military affairs, and the court was in order. While regaining vitality in the country, he also actively reconciled relations with surrounding countries and severely punished those small countries who dared to invade. Finally, the country became prosperous and strong, and its national strength revived again, and it became the world's largest power in the East for a time.
Fu Shuo was the main auxiliary minister of King Wu Ding of Shang: his advice and criticisms to King Shang were bold and fierce, incisive and profound, and became the motto of King Shang governing the country; especially he personally practiced it, assisting the King of Shang to develop production, improve people's livelihood, enrich the country and strengthen the army, convey the king's orders, mobilize troops and generals, conquer the surrounding nomadic tribes, clans, and states that often come to invade, expand the territory, and submit to all directions, becoming the strongest period in the history of the Shang Dynasty. Fu Shuo became the earliest "saint" in my country's history with his incisive and profound ideological and theoretical knowledge and glorious achievements in administrative practice.
and Confucius , who have always been respected as "saints" in the three ancient dynasties, one before and one after, one west and one east, each had a wide and far-reaching influence at that time and later generations, with their unique personal charm and outstanding contributions. They are both outstanding representatives of the excellent culture of the Chinese nation. For a long time, due to the relatively scattered historical information of Fu Sheng, there has been insufficient research and publicity, especially the unjust, false and wrong cases in the ancient text " Shangshu ", which has greatly influenced it, which has added resistance to the publicity of Fu Sheng's deeds. Nowadays, scholars have read ancient times and corrected the origin, so that the ideological theory and political achievements of the earliest "saints" in Chinese history will be revealed to the world. This should be very meaningful.
Confucius commented that Fu said that he was a famous saying of "rewarding virtue when you see virtue", and Zhuangzi also highly praised him.Fu Shuo worked hard for the Shang Dynasty and assisted Wu Ding in reviving the Shang Dynasty. He made great achievements. It is said that after his death, he went to heaven and turned into a star. "Zhuangzi·Grandmaster" says: "Fu Shuo got the (Tao) and was the world, riding on the east veil, riding on the tail of Ji, and comparing with the stars." This means that Fu Shuo later became a god and became a star, namely "Fu Shuo Xing", riding on the star.
" Huainanzi·Lanming Xun " made a great explanation on this matter, saying, "Therefore, the sage is in power, and he is in charge of the Tao but does not speak, and he will benefit all the people." And so on, he said a long moral statement. The final conclusion is, "The reason why this Fu said rides on the tail of Chen" is that the sage has attained Tao and benefited all things in the world, so that he can achieve Tao and become a god, and become a star riding on the tail of Chen. "Chen" means the Great Chen Fang, Heart, and Tail, which belongs to the seven constellations of the Canglong in the East Palace. The tail of Chen refers to the tail of the constellation. Fu said that this star is between Ji and Tai Su, and these two constellations belong to the tail of the Canglong in the East Palace. It is rare for people in ancient history to become stars after death, but only Fu Shuo and Wang Liang (Zaofu). Fu Shuo was an outstanding politician and military strategist in my country during the Shang Dynasty. He assisted Emperor Gaozong Wu Ding to govern the country and created a glorious era of the famous "Wu Ding's Revival" in history. The three chapters of "Shangshu: Shu Ming" have records about Fu Shuo.
The ancient monuments related to Fu Shuo are all in Pinglu County, Shanxi Province, and the "Pinglu County Chronicles" are mostly recorded. The current name of Dachen Village is located more than ten miles north of Pinglu Xin County, Shanxi Province. It is said to be the place where Fu Shuo was born. Fu Shuo was the Minister of Wuding and was also one of the famous ministers in history. Therefore, the village is called "District"; it is said to be where Fu Shuo built the city, it is located in Shengrenjian Village, Pinglu County. ;A cave next to Fu Yan, it is said to be where Fu Shuo lives in seclusion, called "Fu Shuo Hidden Room". Fu Shuo is a saint, so it is commonly known as "Saint Cave". After Fu Shuo died, he was buried under the Mabaoquan at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain in Pinglu County, which is now Chaizhuanggou Village in Buguan Township; "Fu Xiang Temple", commonly known as "Saint Temple" was built by Li Tong, county magistrate during the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty; Fu Yan's original ancient trees were towering in the sky, with shadows on the rocks and ridges, surrounded by streams, and it was fascinating with the ancient buildings of Fu Xiang Temple, with beautiful scenery, especially after snow in winter, the scenery was unique, and it was called "Fu Yan Jixue", which was one of the "Eight Scenerys in Pinglu". .
