Let's look at a poem in The Book of Songs:
Zhizhong's appointment, since another Yin Shang,
Come to Zhou to marry, come to Beijing to marry.
This is the king's season and Vader's trip.
Great men have bodies, and this article is the king.
King Wen of Wei, be careful.
How lucky I am to serve God.
The Book of Songs edited by Kong is the first collection of poems in China. This is a short passage from Daya Daming. Let me try to translate:
Zhiguo is a good girl, from the distant Shang Dynasty.
Marry to a distant place, come to my Joo Won?, and be a bride in my Zhou Jing.
She married Wang Jizhen, who advocated the rule of virtue.
Soon, Ren Da became pregnant and gave birth to Zhou Wenwang.
King Wen is a good king. He is careful and respectful.
Serving God with diligence and encouragement has brought many blessings to the people of China.
This is a poem describing the virtue of Zhou Wang Jichang. Xiao Bai's translation is quite easy to understand, right?
We have to start with the Shang Dynasty. Among the descendants of Zhong You, the left phase of Shang Dynasty, a duke named Ren Cheng moved his fief to Zhi Dou and became the monarch of Zhi Dou. Rencheng has three daughters, and the second daughter is Tairen (also known as Daren), which is "knowing Ren Zhongshi" in the Book of Songs above.
At that time, Zhou was still a small feudal country in the Shang Dynasty, and its main activities were in Qishan, Shaanxi. When it reached Wang Ji (also known as Wang Ji), Zhou's power grew, and he conquered Guifang and other tribes. In order to make friends with the country, Wang Ji married Tairen, the daughter of Cheng Hou, and gave birth to Zhou Wenwang Ji Chang.
Tairen, this girl is really something. She is dignified and humble by nature, hardworking and thrifty. After marrying Ji Wang, she admired the virtue of her mother-in-law Tai Jiang (the princess who cared for her father) and was very filial to her mother-in-law. She presided over the harem, upright and the court was very peaceful.
In modern society, it seems to be a fashion for young people who are about to become parents to engage in prenatal education. But you know what? The founder of prenatal education is Tae In. She is pregnant with the queen, her eyes turn a blind eye to indecent scenes, her ears turn a deaf ear to obscene voices, and she doesn't say arrogant words. She never sleeps askew, nor does she sit sideways or limp. Don't eat food that is cut inappropriately and smells, and don't sit on an improperly placed mat. Let the musicians recite poems in the evening. Ji Chang was born smart. He knew everything as soon as he taught him. People admire that this is really a good prenatal education!
Ji Wang was later killed by Shang. Ji Chang inherited his father's position as the Earl of West and was called Xibochang. Xi Bochang became king after 42 years in office. He was called Zhou Wenwang in history. Xibochang was later imprisoned by Shang Zhouwang in Youli, the national prison of Shang Dynasty (so the address is now in tangyin county, Henan Province). His performance in Friendship has influenced China's Book of Changes for thousands of years. The Book of Changes is the theoretical source of our Chinese nation's ideology and culture, and it is called "the head of the group classics" by later generations.
Later, Ji Fa (Zhou Wuwang), the son of Xi Bochang, defeated Shang Zhouwang and established a powerful Western Zhou regime. Remember her grandmother's kindness and reward her family. He divided Ren into ten vassal states: Xie, Zhang, Xue, Shu, Lu, Zhu, Quan, Bi and Guo. In other words, the ten surnames of the Zhou Dynasty (taking the country as the surname) were all decided by our old family.
Hehe, Ren is really the mother of musical instruments in the world, and naturally it is the mother of the Zhou Dynasty! Moreover, not only in the Zhou Dynasty, this virtuous mother was admired all over the world!
By the way, Zhou Gongdan, Zhou Wuwang's younger brother, married the daughter of our ancient family. According to ancient books, the Duke of Zhou married Xue. It is said that Xue is in the countryside of Lao Ren's family. Guo Xue's fief is in rencheng district, Jining City. As for the name of my daughter in my hometown, there seems to be no record in ancient books. Some people call her Xue Wei. Zhou Gongdan helped Zhou Wuwang to destroy Shang Zhouwang. After the death of King Wu, he assisted the young Zhou Chengwang as the Regent, that is, the actual leader. Seven years later, when Zhou Chengwang came of age, Zhou Gongdan returned political affairs to him. He also formulated rites and music and perfected a series of systems, which laid a political foundation for the rule of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. The most admired person in Confucius' life is Duke Zhou. His old man is obsessed with self-denial and ritual. Now the newlyweds share the same room, which is also called "the gift of the Duke of Zhou", which shows how influential the Duke of Zhou is! Our old lady, Duke Zhou, naturally contributed.
Tairen is recorded in Sima Qian's Historical Records and Liu Xiang's Biography of Women, which are recorded as follows for future reference.
Historical Records of Zhou Benji IV: The eldest son of ancient public ownership was called Taibo, followed by Yuzhong. The youngest son's calendar, married to Tairen, is a virtuous woman, prosperous and blessed. The ancient duke said, "I am a prosperous man in the world. Is it prosperous? "
Biography of Lienv, Biography of Mother Instrument and Three Mothers of Zhou Family: a great man, the mother of King Wen and a loyal woman. Ji Wang married as a princess. The nature of great responsibility, the end of sincere village, is just a trip to Germany. Moreover, they are pregnant, their eyes don't see evil colors, their ears don't listen to lewd voices, and their mouths don't say anything. They can be taught through prenatal education. I was imprisoned in prison and was born King Wen. King Wen was born wise and taught a lot. Once he knew it, he died in Zhou Zong. A gentleman called a great position prenatal education. Ancient women were pregnant, sleeping on their side, sitting on their side, standing upright, not eating evil, not eating wrong, not sitting wrong, not looking at evil colors with their eyes and not listening to obscene sounds. Night makes you recite poems and get down to business. Only in this way can the child be described correctly and outstanding. Therefore, be careful when you are pregnant. Feeling good is good, feeling bad is bad. Born people are born with a mother's feeling about things, so the shape and sound are very simple. Empress Wen knows Xiao Hua.
How's it going? In Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, any daughter became the mother of the country. It's not easy being a daughter, is it?
Ok, let's talk about the story of Ren's surname. In fact, there are many daughters who became queens in later generations. The following small white list is as follows, and their stories will not be told one by one.
