On Guo Wenhua

From 1957 to 1958, the archaeological team of the Yellow River Reservoir conducted many investigations around Sanmenxia and did a lot of trial excavation work. It is considered that the site is large in scale, facing the Jian River in the south, with open and flat terrain, and the unearthed artifacts are similar to the relics of the cemetery, which may be the location of the national danger. 1963, Li Jiayao site was announced by the people's government of Henan province as a provincial cultural relics protection unit. After 1986, Sanmenxia Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, in order to cooperate with the urban capital construction, carried out many archaeological excavations in the marginal area of Li Jiayao site, and found important relics such as copper smelting workshop, sewer pipe and grain cellar. In 2000, Henan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and Sanmenxia Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology conducted a large-scale archaeological excavation in the northeast of Li Jiayao site, and found the base sites of city walls, moats, inner city palace walls and large buildings, and confirmed that Li Jiayao site was indeed the location of Guoyu Shangyang City. The basic outline and scope of Guo Guo City were initially found out, and the overall layout of the city was roughly mastered (see Chapter 16 and Chapter 6 for details), which provided valuable examples for studying the urban layout, architectural characteristics and production technology in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The influence of Guo Wenhua on modern culture. Sanmenxia Guo was sealed near Baoji, Shaanxi in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and was destroyed in 655 BC, which lasted for more than 400 years. The material culture and spiritual culture it created left precious wealth for future generations. It left behind the eternal legacy of "false danger to destroy the enemy" and "cold lips and cold teeth". "False soldiers to attack the enemy" has become the 24th of 36 strategies and tactics in ancient China, and it is also the strategic essence handed down from ancient China. Its surname culture and marriage customs. Guo, transformed from Guo, has become the most popular surname among hundreds of families in China, and has also produced many historical celebrities who have made great contributions to society and people. Guo people strictly abide by the basic rules of marriage in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period-never marry with the same surname. They think that marriage with the same surname is a simple accumulation or addition of the same kind, and there is no way to make a qualitative leap, so that future generations will be difficult to reproduce and the parties will get sick. However, marriages with different surnames can produce excellent children and avoid the disadvantages of intermarriage. This truth is still circulating in some rural areas around Sanmenxia today. Guo people not only strictly abide by the principle of not marrying with the same surname, but also conscientiously perform their own wedding ceremonies, such as Naji, paying money, welcoming relatives and buying a new house. They believe that these marriage etiquette reflects the firmness of marriage and is the standard to judge the legitimacy of marriage. "If you hire a wife, you run a concubine." These customs are absorbed by modern marriage and become marriage, engagement, marriage, quarrel and so on.

Its spirit is embodied in a series of material cultures. Guo created a series of splendid historical cultures such as bronze culture, jade culture, chariot culture and iron smelting culture. These cultures not only reflect the luxurious life and hierarchical concept of the nobles of the State of Guo, but also reflect the intelligence and superb skills of the working people. Its tomb culture. Guo Guo's burial custom of "treating death as life" left a deep imprint on future generations. For example, a large number of bronzes and jade articles, complete living utensils, tools, weapons and so on. Are buried with the dead, so that the dead can still live safely and happily in another world. This is also reflected in the rural areas near Sanmenxia in modern times. In addition, the burial of Guo Cemetery in rural areas now reflects the gathering of ethnic groups. A family cemetery has a fixed location and is a treasure house for Mr. Feng Shui to survey. Guo's cultural phenomenon is imperceptible in modern life. With the in-depth development of reform and opening up, streets, botanical gardens and shops named after Guo in Sanmenxia City play a positive social, propaganda and economic effect in modern social life. Guo Wenhua has its reasonable excellent culture, and at the same time, as the culture of a slave society, there must be dross.

Zuo Zhuan said in Five Years of Nuogong: "Guo Zhong, Guo Shu and Wang Ji's Mu Ye. As a scholar of King Wen, he is proud of the royal family and hidden in the joint house. " Du Pre-note: "Guo Zhong, Guo Shu, son of Wang Ji, mother and brother." Ma Rong, a Confucian scholar in the Han Dynasty, said: "Bi Shu, mother and brother are the same; My half-brother. " Therefore, in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wenwang's two younger brothers, Guo Zhong and Guo Shu, were born in the royal season and were sealed in Erguo. "Honor two people" and "consult two people" in Guoyu Yujin also prove this point. Therefore, the enfeoffment of two kingdoms in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty has a long history, which is beyond doubt and beyond reproach. The "Three Kingdoms Theory" began in Ban Gu, who wrote in "History of Han Geography hongnong county": "Shaanxi, therefore, is the country of Guo, and it has a diplomatic city, so it is a diplomatic country. It is in Dayang in the north, Xingyang in the east and Yong in the west. " Notes on Water Classics and Notes on River Water: "Guo Zhong is located in the South China and the Three Kingdoms, which is one of them. Its big city has a small town, so Jiao Guo also. " Correspondingly, there are also two scorpions in the south and the north. "Historical Records Qin Benji" also records: "At the beginning of the eleventh year of Wugong (687 BC), Du and Zheng were destroyed in the county." It can be seen that a small cockroach appeared in the early spring and autumn period. Therefore, there are five Guo countries in the literature, namely Baoji Guo, Xingyang Guo, Shaanxi Guo, Pinglu Guo and. However, due to the simple and contradictory records about the relationship between the five countries, the monarch, the geographical features, the changes of the State of Guo and the lineage in historical documents, scholars of later generations have different opinions, which cast a mysterious veil on the State of Guo.
