Speaking of Su Daji , everyone is familiar with her name. In " Fengshen Yanyi ", she is described as an enchanting concubine who confuses the king of . This is what people say as a bad woman. In the play, she was originally beautiful. Because she was possessed by a nine-tailed vixen and died after eating her soul, her personality changed dramatically, ruining and Shang Dynasty .
So, everyone has a question, is there a character like Su Daji in history? The answer is not only yes, but experts also found the tomb of Su Daji in Xiaotun Village, Anyang City, Henan Province. In that real history, what kind of person is she? According to records, Daji was a female of the Su tribe, a native of Wen (now Wen County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province).
There is a record in "Mandarin·Jin Language". At that time, the king of Shang Zhou sent an army to attack the Su tribe. How could a tribe in a district become an opponent of a powerful merchant army? Therefore, in terms of the two choices of perishing and choosing to surrender to the other side, the Su tribe chose to survive with tolerance and sincerity, and offered Daji, chariots and horses, cattle and sheep to the Shang Dynasty. In the second year of Emperor Xin, Nada, king of Shang and Zhou, became his wife.
In the tomb, the archaeologists found a lot of materials related to the Shang Dynasty, and obtained some information about Daji and the King of Shang Zhou. King Zhou is probably not his emperor's title, but an evil posthumous post imposed on him by later generations. His name is Dixin. The grievances between the Shang Dynasty and King Zhou Wen and King Zhou Wu were entirely due to the vicious character of Di Xin.
Zhou Wenwang's son Bo Yikao was a hostage in the Shang dynasty. He was Di Xin's coachman. Then one day he did not know what angered Di Xin and was cooked and killed to give Zhou Wenwang Ji Chang is edible,After that, Ji Chang was also imprisoned for two years. Later, Ji Chang's second son, Jifa , succeeded to the throne and found Jiang Ziya as the Taishi, and found the right time to attack Chaoge and defeat Emperor Xin. In the end, the Shang Dynasty was also destroyed.
From here we discovered that she had been wronged for thousands of years. Because Daji was actually just an ordinary woman, she didn't have such a great ability to bring the Shang Dynasty to an end. Faced with a tyrant like Di Xin, he can only choose to please or give in, otherwise it is very likely that he will die. To Di Xin, she was nothing but a spoils of war, and she had no right to influence the government.
In ancient society, women's status was originally low, and they could face a tragic fate at any time. Coupled with the large number of concubines around the King of God, there will always be a day of falling out of favor. What's more, Daji was also dedicated to the Shang Dynasty by her own tribe, and she couldn't even decide her own destiny. Presumably, life in the palace was also miserable for her, without any hope. Seeing this, everyone is also aware of the cruelty of ancient wars. We who can live in modern society are still relatively happy.
