In history, the Zhou Dynasty was prospered due to the strange arrival of "Xiqi" to Fenghuang, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by the "chaoge" song and dance. Where are these two unique and profound place names today? It has been verified that the position of "Xiqi", where King Zhou Wu, the founding monarch of the Zhou Dynasty, was located, happened to be in Qishan County of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province today. The "chaoge" position of King Shang Zhou, who led to the defeat of the Shang Dynasty, was located in Qi County (or the new district of Hebi City) in Hebi City, Henan Province today.
"Xiqi" and "Chaoge" are geographical terms that have been seriously activated by "Fengshen Bang"
"Xiqi" and "Chaoge" This is the "Fengshen Bang". 》Two hot places.
In people's minds, "Xiqi" was the center of government where the righteous political forces represented by Zhou Wuwang Jifa at that time represented the emerging Great Zhou Dynasty.
and "Chaoge" is based on the ruthless political power represented by the ruthless king of Shang and Zhou. The Shang Dynasty fell.
And "Feng Shen Bang" is also centered on such two political forces of righteousness and evil, and the whole story is opened on the contest between "Xiqi" and "Chaoge".
"Xiqi" place name origin: "Fengming Qishan" sage "Hundred Birds Chaofeng" Tianxiaxing
Why did the Zhou Dynasty call the political center of his birthplace? Where is Xiqi? Because there was a mountain called Qishan in Xiqi at that time, and when King Zhou Wen lived here, he saw a phoenix inhabiting the mountain, so Qishan was regarded by King Zhou Wen, who was a contemplative expert, because of the "Fengming Qishan" elephant. For: a saint will come out, and "a hundred birds face the phoenix" Lingshan. Therefore, it is called Xiqi because of the name of Lingshan.
such as the "Book of Songs·Daya·JuanA" in the late Western Zhou Dynasty mentioned:
"Phoenix Yu Fei, also Fu Yu Tian... The Phoenix Ming is in his high hill."
Although the current People thought that this was a coincidence, or that there happened to be birds that resembled phoenixes living in this mountain at that time, but for Zhou Wenwang at that time, it could be used as an inspiring rhetoric for lobbying the world. So as to make a "shen sign" for the "walking the way for the heavens" who can justify it.
After all, at that time, the phoenix had always been regarded as the lucky bird of the land of China in the eyes of people. The arrival of the phoenix (or dragon) necessarily represented the prosperity of a place and the heart of heaven. As a result, coupled with the fact that the king of Wen at that time acted benevolent, while the king of Shang Zhou was licentious, tyrannical, and mediocre, leading to a dim state of affairs. This happened to have won a beautiful "heart attack" battle for the smooth implementation of Zhou Wenwang's plan to help Zhou and destroy business. .
In addition, in the Western Zhou culture, the phoenix bird pattern is often engraved on some artifacts, which shows how much the phoenix meant to people in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The place name of "Chaoge" originated from: the king of Shang and Zhou greatly expanded the Yin capital and was indulged in enjoyment as a court song
Why is the political center of the Shang Dynasty during the Shang Dynasty called the "Chao Dynasty" "Song"? In short, does this name sound a bit like singing and dancing in it? It's true. In fact, the original meaning of naming historical events in "Chaoge" does include this meaning.
In the beginning, the political center of the Shang Dynasty was not in the place of Chaoge, but in Yin. During the Pangeng period of the Shang king, he moved the capital of the Shang Dynasty to Yin, so the Shang Dynasty is often called the Yin Shang. After that, after the four emperors Wuding, Wuyi, Diyi, and Dixin, they all made Yin the capital of the Shang Dynasty. It was only during the reign of King Shang Zhou (that is, Emperor Xin) that the capital was also in Yin at the beginning. He was also a very savvy and capable emperor when he came to power, but later, the king of Shang Zhou became arrogant and arrogant. He expanded the capital of Yin to Yu Moyi, and overhauled the palace’s other courtyards (a permanent building outside the capital for the emperor). The palace where they live), called Chaoge. The prosperous Chaoge is recorded in the original words in history: "Chaoge Yexian Fifty Miles, Eight Hundred Princes Chaoling Mountain".
Regarding the specific location of the Chaoge at the time, the "Historical Records · Family of Uncle Wei Kang" records: "With Wu Geng Yin Yumin named Uncle Kang as Weijun, he lived in He and Qijian in the old Shangxu." The "Shangxu" here said It was the place where Chaoge was at that time, roughly between the Yellow River and Qishui. From today's point of view, this place is actually Qi County in Hebi City, Henan Province. Of course, it is said that it is in the new district of Hebi City.
Why does "Xiqi" once impressed people particularly well today?
The prosperity of Zhou Dynasty began in Xiqi. Xiqi has always existed in the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Qishan has always existed as the center of the Western Zhou Dynasty for nearly 400 years, whether it was from Zhou Taiwang's move to Zhou Ping Wang's eastward move.
Later, with the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the place names of Xiqi gradually faded out of history. Later, the place names here were abolished and changed several times with historical changes, and finally changed. It was the same mountain called Qishan. Of course, Xiqi didn’t call anything at that time, and simply called it today’s "Qishan County" (named directly after Qishan), and there was a unique way of doing things, and it’s very customary. His noodles are also called "Qishan Shaozi Noodles". So, where is Xiqi now? It's easy to find, it's where Qishan is!
Why is there no more "chaoge" that once sang the Shang court's bad news?
Regarding the disappearance of the place name "Chaoge" on the map, this has to be talked about after the Zhou Wu Wang cut down.
After the king of Wu cut down the world, because the war at that time did not affect the city of Chaoge, in order to show the teacher of benevolence and virtue, the king of Zhou went to the world, and he carried out the "feudal system", so the land of the song was divided To Wu Geng, son of King Zhou, to continue Yin Si.
After the death of Zhou Wu Wang Ji, his son Zhou Cheng Wang Ji was still young. He was only 13 years old at the time and did not have the ability to rule state affairs. Therefore, Zhou Wu Wang's younger brother Zhou Gongdan took on the role of assistant. Cheng Wang took charge of state affairs on his behalf. This matter caused great dissatisfaction with some ministers with ulterior motives. Therefore, under the influence of the rumors that "Zhou Gong wanted to usurp the throne" made by Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai, they joined forces with Wu Geng to rebel.
Later, Zhou Bing captured Chaoge, Wu Geng died, the people were taken into captivity, the palace was burned to ashes, Chaoge became ruins and disappeared quietly on the historical map.
Conclusion:
Although today, the two original names of "Xiqi" and "Chaoge" can no longer be found on the map, their existence has left the history of the world. The meaning and the metaphors of these two names to the world did not die out. In short, everyone knows that the overall style of "Fengshen Bang" turned out to be a bad "chaoge" and "Xiqi". Today, no matter where these two places that have appeared in history are today, they leave people with endless reveries.
