Chapter 623

"There are 32 characters on this."

Xiang Fangyang said after confirming.

"Although it is only 32 characters, these 32 characters seem to record a major event, truly achieving the value of a thousand gold per word."

"The first sentence on this says: 'Wu zheng Shang, wei jiazi zhao'."

"King Wu of Zhou attacked King Zhou of Shang, which happened on the morning of the Jiazi day."

"This record is completely consistent with the records in the 'Book of Documents: Mu Shi'."

"I remember the 'Book of Documents' is written like this."

"'Shi jiazi mei shuang, wang chao zhi yu Shang jiao Mu ye'."

"On the morning of the Jiazi day, the sky was just getting light, and King Wu of Zhou brought his troops to Mu ye, outside the Shang capital of Zhaoge."

"The first character of the inscriptions on this bronze ware is quite classic."

"A 'Wang' (King) on the left, and a 'Wu' (Martial) on the right."

"As long as this character appears in the inscriptions of bronze ware, it is a major event."

"Because this character specifically refers to one person, King Wu of Zhou."

"So the first sentence tells us that the Battle of Muye was King Wu attacking Zhou."

"What happened on the day King Wu attacked Zhou?"

"'Sui ding'."

"At this time, an astronomical phenomenon appeared in the sky."

"'Sui' is Jupiter, 'ding' is the highest, which means Jupiter was hanging at the highest point."

"This astronomical phenomenon can be calculated later. Some experts have made a calculation for Jupiter being in the sky."

"They found that King Wu of Zhou's attack on Zhou should have occurred on the morning of January 20, 1046 BC."

"That is, between 6:00 and 7:00."

"So this is a very important cultural relic."

"It is the earliest known bronze ware from the Western Zhou Dynasty."

616. The Battle of Muye, a recipe for cooking and eating people? (Seeking full subscription)

"I just saw people in the live stream asking how the Battle of Muye was fought."

"This bronze ware actually has a record of this."

"'Ke hun su you Shang'."

"It only took one day to destroy Shang."

"This is also completely consistent with the records in history books."

"'Xinwei, wang zai Lan shi'."

"The battle was on the Jiazi day, and Xinwei was 8 days later."

"The King was at a place called Lan shi, rewarding the three armies and distributing bonuses."

"..."

Xiang Fangyang recounted a lot about this matter, and the people in the Cultural Relics Bureau were stunned.

-- 【These 32 characters seem a bit incomprehensible at a rough glance, but if you distinguish them carefully, according to the knowledge we have learned, we can basically guess seven or eight out of ten. Huaxia culture is inherited in one continuous line and has never been broken.】

-- 【What you said is so right, this thousand-year inheritance is so exciting.】

-- 【Only Chinese characters can be so concise. Try it with other languages.】

-- 【Now waiting for the inscriptions of the Xia Dynasty to appear.】

-- 【You all say you can understand it, but I can't. I think those who can understand it must at least have a foundation in seal script.】

-- 【Li Gui, the person who cast this object must also be a learned and talented person.】

-- 【Li Gui, plus the Xia-Shang-Zhou chronology calculated from a solar eclipse in the Western Zhou Dynasty, is great.】

-- 【Only the Shang and Zhou eras, it is hard to say whether the Xia Dynasty has existed until now.】

-- 【There are also Xia ruins.】

-- 【There are bronze wares that have recorded Dayu controlling the flood, so it should be true, Western Zhou bronze wares.】

-- 【The Xia Dynasty was from the Neolithic Age to the Pottery Age, so it is not easy to find.】

-- 【Although it is not easy to find, it is only a matter of time before it is found, and it will be found soon.】

-- 【Why do I have the impression that things from the Xia Dynasty have been found?】

-- 【This makes me think of the patterns on Shang Dynasty bronze wares, which are very terrifying.】

-- 【That kind of terror should refer to ancient cannibalism. This is not very terrifying, because almost every dynasty has it, and there are even recipes specifically for cooking people.】

-- 【No way?】

-- 【Yes, there was a chef named Yi Ya during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods who specifically did this.】

-- 【Won't eating people get you sick?】

-- 【When the three families divided Jin, this kind of thing was clearly recorded. The ancients also believed that eating something would supplement it, and even believed that they inherited the other party's ability or status, so cannibalism happened.】

-- 【Eating people was too common at that time, and it could even become one of the military rations.】

-- 【That was a bad habit left over from the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao was the first to do it.】

-- 【Shang eating people should have been discovered by human bones in bronze wares. The Shang and Zhou in the past should be two tribes with different habits.】

-- 【Until the end of the Warring States period, cooking and killing were common death penalties.】

-- 【Although the characters in the bronze ware are complex, they are concise.】

-- 【I think in order to prevent the omission of cultural relics, the whole city should be turned upside down.】

-- 【The previous city was really turned upside down. Xiang Fangyang has marked all the places where cultural relics might exist with red lines.】

-- 【Xiang Fangyang's ability is extraordinary and very powerful. And he is alone. Even if he runs to every city, there are so many provinces, so many cities, and so many towns in the country. If he wants to run to every place, it is estimated that it will take many, many years.】

-- 【It is estimated that Xiang Fangyang will be old and decrepit, and he will still have to run to various places.】

-- 【Imagining that picture, I can't help but laugh and cry, but there is no way, who let our Huaxia country be so big?】

617. Third-person perspective, a great node in history! (Seeking full subscription)

The people in the live stream couldn't help but laugh, and Xiang Fangyang hadn't finished what he had to say, so he could only watch the people in the live stream have all kinds of discussions, and their discussion points were very interesting.

They even discussed some topics that he hadn't had time to mention yet.

Xiang Fangyang took all these contents into his eyes and began to discuss.

"Let everyone take a look at the last sentence on this."

"'Yi you shi Li jin, yong zuo Tan gong bao zun yi'."

"The meaning of this sentence is that you have a nobleman named Li, who followed the King to participate in the war to destroy Shang and was rewarded by the King."

"The King rewarded him with copper, and Li used this copper to cast this Li Gui."

"To sacrifice to his ancestor named Tan Gong."

"So this person Li has great merit."

"He accidentally recorded a great node in the history of Huaxia country from a third-person perspective, which is the history of King Wu attacking Zhou."

"You must know that bronze inscriptions and history books correspond perfectly. There are less than ten such bronze wares unearthed in the country."

"So this can prove how important this Li Gui is."

"Just such a bronze ware confirms the two eras of Shang and Zhou, and the Battle of Muye is a very critical war in history."

"Although the scale of his war may not be as big as the myth of 'Investiture of the Gods'."

"At that time, productivity was limited, and it might be equivalent to a large-scale armed fight."

"Although the scale of the war is not very large, the significance of the war is very far-reaching."

"This battle can be said to be the decisive battle of Huaxia civilization."

"Someone in the live stream just mentioned that the patterns on the Shang Dynasty bronze wares are very terrifying."

"Indeed, such cultural relics have been excavated in an ancient tomb."

"I think if the Zhou Dynasty loses this time, maybe our nation will become a nation that eats that."

"So, this battle established Huaxia civilization, it is the decisive battle of Huaxia civilization."
