Why do people think Shang Zhouwang is a tyrant? Who told you he was cruel?

Is it a list of gods or a game?

In fact, the wine pools, meat forests and brands you know were not invented by Zhou Wang.

So, Zhou Wang didn't invent it. Who created it?

To tell the truth, it was not in the original documents of the Zhou Dynasty, nor in the Spring and Autumn Period. This word first appeared in Han Feizi Shuo Lin, and in Historical Records Yin Benji, there is also a story about the meat forest in the wine pool.

However, Everything is Silent is a book at the end of the Warring States Period. Historical records belong to the Western Han Dynasty.

At this time, hundreds of years have passed since the demise of the Shang Dynasty.

Why did the wine pool meat forest, which did not appear in the Zhou Dynasty literature, appear in the Warring States hundreds of years later?

Here, by the way, is a case.

In the last century, an archaeologist excavated an Oracle bone near Qishan, Shaanxi.

Some words were carved on it, which were later deciphered and sorted out by archaeologists. The content is as follows: "Wang sacrificed to Dajia, and the book was written by the local people. The first king blessed the fine weather. "

Zhou Fangbo in this sentence is actually Zhou Wenwang in The Romance of Gods.

The king offered sacrifices to Dajia, that is, the king offered sacrifices to his ancestors; In Shang Dynasty, sacrificial ceremonies were usually performed by living people. Seeing this, it is not difficult to know.

Zhou Wang captured Zhou Wenwang, and then presented Zhou Wenwang as a tribute to his ancestors, praying for good weather.

Very speechless!

However, in other books, many of them wrote that Zhou Wenwang was released by Zhou Wang and died after he returned to his hometown.

Especially in Zuo Zhuan, in order to get Zhou Wenwang out of prison, an allusion was written, that is, after Zhou Wenwang was arrested, the governors of all countries hoped that they could live in prison, so as to put pressure on Zhou Wang and force Zhou Wang to release Zhou Wenwang. Zhou Wang saw that Zhou Wenwang was so popular that he let him go.

Ha ha, if the hearts of all the governors in the world are towards Zhou Wenwang, and Zhou Wang sees that his subordinates have been interceded by Zhou Wenwang, and such a terrible person still dares to let him go, then Zhou Wang is really stupid.

In the Book of the King of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty, someone took a thousand skins to redeem Zhou Wenwang, and Zhou Wang was greedy for money, so he let him go.

When Sima Qian arrived, Zhou Wang became the last king who lusted after women.

Of course, this is not enough. The Emperor's Century written by Huangfu Mi in the Jin Dynasty is even more outrageous.

In order to get Zhou Wenwang out of prison, he came up with a way to eat meat.

That is, saints will not eat the flesh of their children; What a refreshing brain circuit.

In The Emperor's Century, the author arrested Ji Chang's son Bo Yikao, and then made a meat soup for Ji Chang. Ji Chang found something was wrong when he ate the meat. Finally, he ate it with tears in his eyes.

Zhou Wang saw that Ji Chang had eaten his own child and thought that he was not a saint at all, so he let him go.

How terrible it is, eating meat and eating human beings is already very powerful; If you can feel that this is your own child, it will be even more horrible.

In fact, Zhou Wang's image was darkened by later generations, which shows how excellent the imagination of the ancients was.

What wine pool meat forest, as well as branding, greed, lust, are all descendants deliberately blackening Zhou Wang in order to beautify Zhou Wenwang.

After all, these screenwriters are just like the directors of our current anti-Japanese war blockbusters, and the just side is always tall and powerful. On the other hand, they are short and retarded.

Of course, there must be something wrong with the Shang dynasty, and Zhou is the opponent.

In order to overthrow Shang Dynasty, Zhou had to shout some slogans to win people's hearts. Otherwise, it is easy to lose your reputation when you fight with the Shang Dynasty.

Just like at the end of the Qing Dynasty, warlords turned over a lot of old accounts in order to overthrow the Qing government. The same is true of the Zhou Dynasty. Only by letting the people know that the Shang dynasty was bad, then overthrowing the Shang dynasty by themselves is a move that conforms to the people's hearts and providence.

Therefore, Black Zhou Wang can better beautify the war by making Zhou Wang more cruel.
