Origin of the Bin family
The Bin family first originated in the period of King Shaokang of the Xia Dynasty (1905-1884 BC).
According to the "Hunan Dong'an Genealogy", Binyu of the Xia Dynasty served as Sikong of the Xia Dynasty, assisted in the founding of the country, and became a meritorious official of the Xia King. Later, Bin Jinsong discovered Bin Yu's deeds in Chapters 7, 8, and 10 of the book "History of the Xia and Shang Dynasties" (written by Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty). It can be determined from this that the Bin family originated in the period of King Shaokang of the Xia Dynasty (1905-1884 BC).
Historical records: Before the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, there were frequent wars between the Xia tribe and other surrounding tribes for the leadership of the alliance. Due to Yu's achievements in controlling floods and developing agricultural production, the power of the Xia tribe increased and he became the leader of the tribal alliance. Yu drove Sanmiao to the Danjiang and Han River basins and consolidated the king's power. After Yu's death, his son succeeded to the throne. He abolished the abdication and implemented the method of succession of the throne from father to son, which triggered a fierce struggle for the throne in the Xia Dynasty. He began to encounter Boyi's resistance. After a war, Boyi was defeated and killed. After Xia Qi's struggle, he established the hereditary system of the throne. The Xia Dynasty was established. Many state leaders came to Yangzhai to attend court and held a banquet in Juntai (now in Yuzhou, Henan). This is the enjoyment of Juntai. After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the nobles within the Xia Dynasty, the Youhu family, opposed Xia Qi's succession to the throne, and launched the army to suppress the Youhu family's rebellion, thus consolidating the rule of the Xia Dynasty. After Xia Qi's death, his son Taikang succeeded him. Due to Taikang's pursuit of a luxurious and licentious life, there was a struggle for the throne among the five Taikang brothers first, and then the Wuguan rebellion occurred, which weakened the rule of the Xia Dynasty. After Taikang's death, Zizhongkang came to power. After Zhongkang's death, his son succeeded him. At this time, Hou Yi, the leader of the Qiong clan of the Dongyi tribe, took advantage of the internal royal power struggle in the Xia Dynasty and seized the throne. But soon Hou Yi was killed by Hanzhuo of the Boming clan of the Dongyi tribe. Han Yun killed Xia Houxiang. After Xia, his wife gave birth to Shaokang.
Shaokang was the king of Xia from 1905 to 1884 BC and lived for 21 years. At that time, Bin Yu was an old minister of Hou Yi. Hou Yi Shaokang ended the 40-year rule of Hou Yi and Han Zhuo, restored the power of the Xia Dynasty, and appointed Bin Yu, an old minister of Hou Yi, as Sikong of the Xia Dynasty. (The 10th chapter of "The Wild History of Xia and Shang Dynasty" "Shaokang King granted Zen to Ding Jizhu to catch monsters and gave way to his younger brother" records: However, it is said that in the first year of Renwu, King Shaokang ascended to the throne, that is, he ordered Chongkai to be the Taishi, Yu Gong Yao Si to be the Taifu, and Dai Ning to be the Taifu). Taibao, Si Mi became Sima. After the deed, Cao Yu, the grandson of Xiang Tu and the son of Changruo, became Situ. He died three times in Dongyi and became Sikong). p> In addition, from the recently collected archaeological data on oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in the past century, Bin Zeou discovered that there was an important divination historian from the late Yin and Shang Dynasty from Wu Ding to Zu Geng, whose first and last name was "Bin". Many of the oracle bone deeds and inscriptions unearthed from the Wuding period contain his divination records and signatures. These are called "Binzhu inscriptions" by archaeologists and paleographers, and there are records of 5 lunar eclipses.
According to research by experts and scholars, "Bin" was the leader of the "Bin clan" at that time. He served Wu Ding, the monarch of the Shang Dynasty, and held the position of an important diviner, which was also called the historian in later generations. At that time, Bin The clan has the title of "Bin", and the leader also has the title of "Zi Bin".
According to the information collected by Bin Jinsong of Sichuan, according to the records of "Zuo Zhuan", "Spring and Autumn", "Warring States Policy" and other historical books, in the era when the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period intertwined, there were Bins and Bins. Meng (also known as Bin Qi) and Bin Hua served as officials in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, while Bin Xuwu and Bin Meiren served as officials in Qi. However, judging from the period during which these ancestors carried out political activities in the historical process, we can sort out a sequence:
Binyu - Binxu (Xu) Wu - Binmei Ren - Binmeng (Qi) )——Bin Hua
Therefore, it is inferred that the earliest appearance of the Bin family in history was around the period of King Shaokang of the Xia Dynasty, about 1905-1884 BC. The first person and deeds of the Bin family to appear should be Bin Yu.
Bin Yu: An old minister of Hou Yi, who assisted Shaokang in the Xia Dynasty to become king.
Binxu (Xu) Wu: He once served as a senior official in the state of Qi, and worked with Guan Zhong to assist Duke Huan of Qi in achieving hegemony. Duke Huan of Qi was in power from 685 to 643 BC. Guan Zhong was born in 725 BC and died in 645 BC. It can be seen that Binxu (Xu) Wudang lived before 600 BC. According to the research of Taiwan's Zeou ethnic group, it was about 685 BC to 641 BC.
Bin Meiren: In the second year of Chenggong's reign, he was appointed as the state counselor of Qi State. He is good at diplomacy. He has seen things like "Daya·Jizui", "Xiaoya·Xinnanshan" and "Shang Song·Long Hair". In the tenth year of Xuangong (599 BC), he hired Lu and was killed in the eighteenth year of Chenggong (573 BC).
Binqi means Binmeng: an important minister during the reign of King Jing of Zhou Dynasty. King Zhou Jing reigned from ? to 520 BC, and after the death of King Zhou Jing, Shan Mugong launched a coup at the funeral of King Zhou Jing on June 11, 520 BC. He first killed the Confucian scholar Wang Dafu Binqi (the author of "Wenzi") founded Confucius. "Zuo Zhuan" said: When the prince came to the court, he favored King Jing. The king talked to Bin Meng about it and wanted to establish him. Liu Xiangong's concubine Bo Fu served Shan Mu... and Shan established Liu Fu in May. Gengchen saw the king, so he attacked Binqi, killed him, and allied with the princes to the Shan family. 520 years ago, King Zhou Jing told Bin Qi that he wanted to make Wang Zichao the crown prince, but Shan Mugong and Liu Xiangong's concubine Bo Chu "hated Bin Qi's behavior and wanted to kill him; they also hated Wang Zichao's words and thought they were in trouble, so they wanted to get rid of him." "
Bin Hua: Bin Hua - a historical celebrity during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to "Zuo Zhuan" in the ninth year of Zhao Gong's reign, "the king had a marriage funeral, so Zhao Cheng was sent to Zhou Diao, and sent to Yan Tian and Xi, but Ying was captured. The king also sent Bin Hua to hold the doctor Xiang of Gan to tell the story to Jin, and the people of Jin returned with courtesy. ” sentence. (Translation: The King of Zhou also sent his doctor Bin Hua to capture Gandhi’s doctor Xiang to please the Jin State. The Jin people also repatriated the prisoners captured in Yingdi.)
