Ancient books of merchants in Song Dynasty

When it comes to Nanjing, many people will think of Nanjing in Jiangsu. In fact, Nanjing in the Song Dynasty was not in Jiangnan, but in Henan, which is now Shangqiu. Although it is only a prefecture-level city now, it was a super-class metropolis in the Song Dynasty. Because it is not only the land of Longxing in Zhao Kuangyin, but also the birthplace of the title of the Song Dynasty.

During the Song Dynasty, Shangqiu was named Songzhou, and Zhao Kuangyin launched a mutiny in Chen Qiao. Because of the sudden incident, there was not much preparation, so there was not much consideration for the new country name, and because he was not sure whether the mutiny was successful. After a little thinking, I chose "Song" as the title of the book, because his highest official position is "Songzhou belongs to the German army for our time". When the regime was stable, I regretted it a little, because "Song" was too common. As a result, civil servants racked their brains and found three coincidences, which added mystery to the title of Song Dynasty.

1. Shangqiu is not only the land of Longxing in Zhao Kuangyin, but also the land of Longxing in Shang Dynasty. According to Historical Records, the ancestors of merchants were "merchants", so they were named after titles to establish the Shang Dynasty. However, because of the long history, whether this "business" refers to Shangqiu has been inconclusive, but the civil servants in the Song Dynasty firmly believe that this "business" is Shangqiu. From this point of view, since Shangqiu is the land of prosperity in Shang Dynasty, it is also the land of prosperity, and the Zhao family has a close relationship with Shang Dynasty.

Shangqiu is not only the land of Longxing in Shang Dynasty, but also the capital of Song Dynasty. Different from later generations, the war of national subjugation in the pre-Qin dynasty did not destroy the sacrifices of the former dynasty. For example, after the Shang dynasty destroyed the Xia dynasty, it left a piece of land for the descendants of the Xia dynasty royal family to inherit the sacrifices of the Xia dynasty. After Zhou Wuwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty, Wei Ziqi, Zhou Wang's younger brother, was made Duke of Song, established the Song State, and inherited the sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty. After Wei Ziqi established the Song State, he made Shangqiu his capital. So Shangqiu is not only the capital of Song Dynasty, but also the capital of Shang Dynasty, the predecessor of Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin's father's name is Zhao Hua. In history, a country often has several titles, such as "Shang" in Shang Dynasty, which is what our people call our country. Some historical materials will call it Yin Shang, which is another name; Another example is the Shu-Han regime in the Three Kingdoms period. Liu Bei called the country he founded "Han", which was a continuation of the Han Dynasty. Wei did not recognize it, so the History of the Three Kingdoms called it "Shu" or "Shu Han".

In Zhao's three words, "Yin" can be interpreted as "Shang" and "Hong" can be interpreted as "Everbright". Generally speaking, Zhao Yinhong means that the Zhao family hopes to revive and prosper the Shang Dynasty. Connecting these three coincidences, we can draw a magical conclusion that Yin equals Shang and Shang equals Song. Therefore, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were all descendants of the Shang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was also a dynasty that recovered the Shang Dynasty.

At this point, people all over the world will find that the title of the Song Dynasty appeared as early as 2,000 years ago, and Zhao Kuangyin himself was the real reincarnation of the Dragon Emperor in Shang Dynasty. With this explanation, the Dasong Dynasty established by Zhao Kuangyin immediately became a high-end atmosphere. From then on, no one dared to say that Zhao Kuangyin was in the wrong position.
