During the archaeological process, we discovered that there are remains of Indo-European people in the ruins of the Shang Dynasty. Then many people said that the Shang Dynasty was a Fang country, and the "Gui Fang" were also Indo-European people. It was just because the Gui Fang failed to invade the Shang Dynasty and was mistreated by the Shang Dynasty in various ways. So who is the Gui Fang? Why is it said that Guifang is an Indo-European race?
1. The ghost side is the source of the Indo-European race. In fact, this statement was put forward by Mr. Wang Guowei, a senior master in Oracle research. At that time, when Wang Guowei was studying oracle bone inscriptions, he discovered a very peculiar Fang State, called Gui Fang, and then he found corresponding records from several ancient books.
The "Bamboo Book Chronicles" records: (Wu Ding) In the thirty-second year, Guifang was defeated, second to Jing. "Book of Changes" records: Gaozong (Wu Ding) attacked Guifang and defeated it in three years.
Then Master Wang Guowei compiled an article "A Study of Ghost Fang Yixuan" based on these materials. In this article, he speculated that Guifang was actually the 烃狁, the 烃狁 was actually the Quanrong, and the Quanrong was actually the Xiongnu. His speculation was very groundbreaking and imaginative at the time. Until now, Wang Guowei's point of view has been quoted by many people, and even many scholars have even developed their imagination to show that "Guifang is an Indo-European". ?The bronze smelting technology and horse breeding technology of the Shang Dynasty were all brought over by the Guifang people who were Indo-Europeans. Therefore, Mr. Wang Guowei’s imagination has reflected the thoughts of a group of people.
2. What kind of tribe is Guifang?
1. The oracle bone inscriptions prove that Guifang is a die-hard brother of the Shang Dynasty and is a friend rather than an enemy of the Shang Dynasty.
2. Guifang is not an Indo-European. He is the descendant of the four Guifang princes of the Zhou Dynasty named Wei, which means they are actually from Beidi.
3. The smelting technology of the Shang Dynasty did not need to be introduced from outside at all, and it itself was the best in the world.
4. Gui Fangfei specializes in horseback riding. They are a three-in-one ethnic group of hunting, planting and animal husbandry in the mountains. Taming horses is not his specialty.
Guifang was actually the Beidi people and the Darong tribe who migrated westward during the Western Zhou Dynasty. Regarding ghosts, in fact, the oracle bone inscriptions and the records in the handed down documents are completely opposite. The oracle bone inscriptions are the core of the Shang Dynasty, and the handed down documents are the strong enemies of the Shang Dynasty. So why are the records in the oracle bone inscriptions and the handed down documents different? The author believes that the main reason is the Zhou Dynasty's smear campaign. All the documents handed down from ancient times that we see now are records from the Zhou Dynasty. Because Guifang was an ally of the Shang Dynasty and a strong supporter of the Shang Dynasty, he was naturally an enemy of the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty hated Guifang, so he began to smear Guifang.
