Main deeds:
1, assisting Zhou was imprisoned
King Zhou of Shang was tyrannical and unruly, drinking and loving all day long without paying attention to the government. Seeing that King Zhou was so inhumane, Jizi repeatedly tried his best to advise and block, but King Zhou refused to listen.
Someone advised Jizi to leave, and Jizi said, "As a minister, the king left without listening to advice. This is an act of showing the monarch's sin and pleasing the people. I can't bear to do this."
Jizi saw that the Shang Dynasty that lasted for more than 500 years was about to be ruined in the hands of King Zhou. His heart was like a knife cut, so he cut his hair and pretended to be crazy. He played the piano to make himself sad. He only sang the song "Jizi Cao" every day to vent his grief and anger. Seeing this, King Zhou thought Jizi was crazy, so he imprisoned him and demoted him to a slave.
2, King Wu Visit Jizi
After Zhou Wu destroyed Shang, he released Jizi, and Jizi fled to Jishan (now Qizi Mountain, Lingchuan County, Jincheng City, southeastern Shanxi), and lived a seclusion in Jishan.
After King Wu established Zhou Dynasty, he was eager to seek talented people, so he found Jizi and sincerely asked for advice on how to govern the country. King Wu asked Jizi about the reason for the demise of the Shang Dynasty. Jizi didn't speak because he was unwilling to speak bad things about his homeland. King Wu also found out that he had made a mistake, so he asked him how to govern the country according to the will of heaven. Jizi then stated the " Hongfan Jiuchou " handed down by Xia Yu to King Wu. After hearing this, King Wu admired it very much and wanted to ask Jizi to go out to govern the state affairs, but Jizi had long said to Weizi: "If the Shang Dynasty perishes, I will not be a servant of the new dynasty." Therefore, he refused to go out, and King Wu left helplessly.
3. Become the monarch of Korea
Because he was afraid that King Wu would come to invite him again, Jizi took advantage of King Wu to leave, and quickly led his disciples and a group of old merchants' old friends and hurriedly left Jishan and headed eastward. It is said that when Jizi and his party arrived at the Yellow Sea, they took the raft to float eastward. A few days later, I climbed onto an island. Seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers, the grass is connected to the sky, and the beautiful scenery, I called that place North Korea. From then on, more than 5,000 people led by Jizi settled there.
According to legend, after Jizi arrived in North Korea, he built houses, reclaimed farmland, raised silkworms and weaving cloth, burned pottery and weaving bamboo. Jizi also formulated eight laws to prevent and resolve disputes among people, spread the Central Plains culture to North Korea, educated his subjects, and made ancient Korea practice the Chinese ritual and music system, and gradually followed the original customs of the Central People. Jizi was under management in North Korea for less than three years. The local customs changed drastically. He did not close his house at night, and there were no thieves. Women were chaste and not lustful. Men and women did not pay more attention to betrothal gifts. The people were frugal and harmonious, and the society was harmonious and stable, becoming a "Eastern gentleman country."
Later, King Wu of Zhou knew that Jizi was away from the east, so he sent people to North Korea to seal Jizi as the king of North Korea and invited Jizi back to his hometown to visit.
According to historical records, the Jizi Dynasty has had 41 kings. Until the second year of Emperor Hui of Han (193 BC), Jizi's 41st generation grandson was overthrown by his minister Weiman Weiman and Jijun fled south. The Jizi Dynasty ruled the Korean Peninsula for nearly a thousand years.
