The origin of Wangxiang Stone:
Every time you visit Linzhou, you always want to visit Wangxiang Stone. Wangxiang Stone, located in Shibanyan Township on the west side of the main peak of Linlv Mountain, is 25 kilometers away from Linzhou City.
why is it called Wangxiang Stone here? It is said that as early as more than 3,3 years ago, Fu Shuo, a slave-born prime minister in the Wu Ding period of the Shang Dynasty, once lived in seclusion here. The place where the king lived was called Wangxiang Stone, and the village where he lived was called Wangxiang Village.
Fu Shuo was a statesman, strategist and architectural scientist in ancient China. He was the prime minister of Shang Dynasty, assisted Wu Ding, the emperor of Yin and Shang Dynasties, in running the country, and formed the famous glorious age of "Wu Ding Zhongxing" in history, and left three immortal "Telling Destiny", among which the famous sentence "It is difficult to do without knowing" is the earliest simple materialistic view of history in China; The building technology of "plate building" (commonly known as hitting the wall) created by him is a great progress in the history of architectural science in China. Emperor Wu Ding honored him as a "saint", that is, a man with the highest moral character and the highest wisdom. In history, people always respect him as a "saint", "god" and "dream father". Some famous literati, such as Qu Yuan, Li Shimin, Du Mu, Wang Wei, Sima Guang and Su Shi, all wrote poems to praise his outstanding talents and virtues.
Slave turned into Prime Minister:
Fu Shuo took Fu as his surname because he was engaged in plate building in Fuyan (now Pingludong, Shanxi) and was employed by Wu Ding. He was the second prime minister born as a slave in Shang Dynasty, and he and Yi Yin in Shang Tang period were called "slave double walls" in history. Wu Ding, the second king of Shang Dynasty, reigned for 59 years. When he was a teenager, he was sent by his father Xiao Yi to Linlv Mountain in the west of Yindu, where he worked with civilian slaves and experienced the sufferings of the people. Wu Ding learned the labor skills of farming, developed simple living habits, and made friends with slave Fu Shuo. Fu Shuo felt that although Wu Ding was the son of Shang Wang, he was not proud of the nobility. He could get along with the poor on an equal footing and appreciated Wu Ding. When Wu Ding and Fu Shuo lived together, they felt that Fu Shuo was very talented, but unfortunately he was a slave and no one could reuse him. In order to use Fu Shuo, Wu Ding thought hard and plotted a clever plan, that is, using people's superstitious psychology, he performed a pantomime of sublime officials.
One day, Wu Ding said to his ministers, "I have become a king, and I hope to have a man of great talent and virtue to help me govern the country. Please recommend me. The ministers talked in succession, counting the names of the princes and nobles one by one, and Wu Ding always shook his head and sighed. Suddenly I fainted, and after a rescue, I slowly woke up without saying a word. In this way, Wu Ding was in a coma for three years in the palace. One day, when Gampan was calling ministers to discuss, Wu Ding burst out laughing, and the ministers were shocked. Wu Ding said, "There is hope for our Shang Dynasty! I dreamed of my late king, and he recommended a great sage named Fu Shuo to me, saying that this man would certainly help me manage the country well. Ministers, immediately follow Wu Ding refers to the direction to find. Finally, I found Fu Shuo in Linlv Mountain. Fu Shuo was taken to Yindu Palace. Wu Ding was overjoyed when he met his good friend Fu Shuo, nodding. So quickly let Fu Shuo change his royal robes and become prime minister, and let the ministers address Fu Shuo as the "dream father". Fu Shuo tried his best to be resourceful and resourceful, and used three years' efforts to help Wu Ding manage the state affairs in an orderly way, which made the Shang Dynasty achieve unprecedented development.
People call the cliff cave where he lived "Wangxiang Stone", and built a statue of Fu Shuo here, a thousand-year-old oak tree at the cliff head, which is called Wang Xiangshu; The mountain where he often cuts firewood is called Wang Xiangling; The ravine where he often travels is called Wangxianggou, the mouth of which is called Wangxiangkou, and the well he used is called Wangxiangjing. There is a stone chair opposite Fu Shuo's divination, which is called King Xiang Chair.
after Fu Shuo became the prime minister, he assisted Wu Ding in vigorously reforming politics and "honoring the Yin state", so that the nobles and civilians did not complain, which was called "the Great Governance of the Yin State" and "the Renaissance of the Yin Road" in history. Wu Ding once became the heyday of the late Shang Dynasty.
Legend about Fu Shuo:
Fu Shuo, a famous generation, how he managed the country and revived the Shang Dynasty, but left few words and deeds for future generations to learn from. However, there are many legends about him.
As for the legend of the meeting between Fu Shuo and Wu Ding, Kong Yingda's Book of Justice in the Tang Dynasty quoted a record of Huangfu Mi in the Western Jin Dynasty, saying that Wu Ding, the Emperor Gaozong of Yin, dreamed that God had given him a wise man, who covered himself with clothes worn by slaves and said that his surname was Fu, saying that he was doing hard labor. Wu Ding woke up and thought, "Fu Zhe, Xiang Ye. The speaker is also happy. There should be people in the world who can help me and please the people! " I think this is a good sign that I will get a good helper to govern the world. After dawn, he told the dream to the officials, but no one believed it. Wu Ding asked people to draw the image of the dreamer, searched all over the country, and found Fu Shuo in Fu Yan.
The legend about Fu Shuo's political experience appeared in the Pseudo-Ancient History in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, including three parts: Telling Life. The first part describes the process of Fu Shuo's first meeting with Wu Ding and his remarks to persuade Wu Ding to be modest and coachable. The middle part is Fu Shuo's statement of the general plan of governing the country to Wu Ding, among which there is a famous saying that "it is difficult to do without knowing"; The next part is the words of encouragement from the monarch and the minister. Fu Shuo lived in seclusion in Fu Yan (Fu Xian), and the secluded room was named "Sage Cave". The stream beside Fu Yan is a "sage stream". For more than 3, years, people in Fu Shuo's hometown (now Pinglu County, Shanxi Province) built a shrine and erected a monument in memory of this great man in ancient times.
Fu Shuo's important documents, as well as three "dialogues between monarch and minister" handed down to later generations, concentrated on his political ideals and lofty aspirations. The dialogue between the monarch and the minister is recorded in the earliest historical document in China-Shangshu Shouming, one of the Confucian classics.
Wu Ding is the first monarch with accurate records in Chinese history. After Fu Shuo's death, the Fu Shuo Temple was established in the place where Fu Shuo was once engaged in "plate building". The cave where Fu Shuo was hiding at that time was named "Sage Cave" by the emperors of later dynasties, and the river in front of the "Sage Cave" was renamed "Sage Stream".
We all know that Confucius is revered as a "saint" and has been handed down to this day. According to historical records, the earliest person who was honored as a "saint" in the history of our country should be Fu Shuo in the Wu Ding period of Shang Dynasty, about 8 years earlier than Confucius.
Experts, scholars and mathematicians have been asked to prove whether Fu Shuo is the authentic ancestor of Fu's family of Han nationality, based on national historical materials, archaeological discoveries and Fu's early genealogy. According to the historical evidence, although the written records are rough in Fu Shuo era, historical facts can also be identified; According to the attitude of humanities, Fu Shuo is a famous figure who has been in politics for a long time and won the hearts of the people. His position has far exceeded the limit of his position. His descendants will naturally continue to live in a stable and happy environment, and the population will grow rapidly and the population will be numerous, which is the key to prove that the surname is far away. According to the conclusion of advanced mathematics calculation, there will be no new evidence of different meanings on the historical basis of Fu Shuo today. By no means defined by a few simple inferences, Fu Shuo is a figure with archaeological evidence in history.
In order to better collect, excavate and rescue Fu's literature and history, and organize the compilation and revision of The Chinese Fu's Genealogy, so as to inherit Fu Shuo's precious spiritual remains and clan culture, later generations established the "World Fu's" clan professional website in 1999, and applied for the establishment of the Beijing Huaxia Fu's Cultural Research Institute in 23, which is the first clan research institute organization approved by the state in China, in order to unite and inherit Fu's heritage. At present, The Chinese Fu's General Spectrum has been compiled into volumes and published in more than 2 sets. Not only is the compilation and revision of Chinese Fu Shi Tong Pu a desirable experience model, but the overall activities of Fu Shi clan culture have brought too many reference models to China clan culture, and Fu Shi culture has achieved endless results.
