Emperor Yao Period
Floods all over the world
Nine years of water control without results
Regent Shun killed him
Later, he appointed Dayu to control the floods.
Before and After Emperor Shun's Accession to the Throne
Dayu's 13-year flood control
The historical records say something profound
Dayu passed by his home but did not dare to enter
Dayu successfully controlled floods
Loved by all people
Emperor Shun believed that Dayu was both virtuous and
So he appointed Dayu as regent
After his death, he took over Dayu
丨He is Dayu's father
Emperor Shun and Dayu had a grudge for killing their fathers
And he also has Zi Shangjun and others
despite this
Emperor Shun or Dayu
According to historical description
Emperor Shun and Dayu were both selfless people.
So Emperor Shun was not worried about Dayu's revenge
Dayu will not avenge his father
Is this really the case?
As underground cultural relics continue to emerge
A new interpretation of the history of Shunshan, Wei and Yu
perhaps
This once again proves the truth that power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Who is Emperor Shun?
Where is the capital?
About Emperor Shun's Identity
Zuo Zhuan had already recorded
The Shang Dynasty Emperor Shun and his ancestors were arrogant and bright
And Zong Tang has already named Emperor Shun as the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty
From the Oracle
Gaozu County recorded above
In fact, it is Gaozu County or Di County
It can be confirmed that Emperor Jun is the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty
From the perspective of text evolution
The ancient pronunciations of Shun and Jun are similar.
Both shire and acid are derived from shire.
The pronunciation of acid is acid.
The pronunciation is basically the same as Shun.
therefore
Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty annotated the country Zhongrong in Shanhaijing
When Emperor County was promoted to Zhongrong, Shuo County was also called Shun.
Borrowing Yin
Sima Qian regarded the Imperial Treasury as the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty
Actually, it’s not wrong
Modern scholars Wen Yiduo and others found
Emperor Shun, Emperor Ku, and Emperor Jun actually refer to the same person
Then as the chief of the Shang tribe
Where is Emperor Shun's capital?

The Fire Policy of the Tang Clan
The Residence of Yuanbo
It is also the capital of Xiabo Kunwu
Because of Xiang Tu Youdu
That is to say
Zhuanxu, Shangqi and others established their capital in present-day Puyang, Henan
The Shangbu tribe lived in the surrounding area
Considering the traffic conditions at that time
Lishun Capital must not be too far from Puyang
Even in Puyang
2005
Archaeological experts excavated the Gaocheng ruins in Fuyang
Discovered the capital of Wei
The Earth's area is 9.16 million square meters
More importantly
The entire site contains city sites from different periods.
Experienced Yangshao, Longshan and Erlitou
Xia and Shang dynasties
Explain the ancient Gaocheng ruins
It is an important city
Based on this scholar's comprehensive historical records
It is believed that Gaocheng Ruins was the capital of Emperor Zhuanxu, Emperor Shun and Emperor Xi of Shang
Today, one of Puyang’s city names is the hometown of Emperor Shun.
Where is Yudu Yangcheng?
According to the literature
Yudu Location
There are four versions: Yangcheng, Pingyang, Anyi, and Jinyang.
But the latter three
The earliest source is from the Emperors' Chronicles by Huangfu Mi of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, the credibility is not high
Then the Yudu Yangcheng mentioned in the pre-Qin historical materials
Where exactly is it?
The Northern Wei Dynasty's Daoyuan Shui Jing Zhu records that the Ying River flows through the county seat.
Guchengnanxi Shunshanyu
Yu Bi, Shang Jun, and Bo Yi must rise up and unite here.
According to the historical records,
Yudu Yangcheng
Around the banks of the Yingshui River in Dengfeng City, Zhengzhou, Henan Province
The problem is
Is the calendar record correct?
1970s
Archaeologists are digging nearby
An ancient site, Wangchenggang, was actually unearthed.
The ancient city was built around 2070 BC
It has the style of the late Longshan culture
The time coincides with Yudu
But the area is only 10,000 square meters
Does not fit the pattern of Yudu
But later, when they dug again, they found
There is a big city outside the small city
About 300,000 square meters
The construction period was slightly later than that of the town.
At the same time, Fangchenggang Ancient
There are also some satellite sites around the city.
As if guarding Yangcheng
therefore
Fangchenggang Ancient City is most likely the Yudu Yangcheng
actually
Regardless of whether Wangchenggang Ancient City is Yudu Yangcheng
Through historical records and archaeological discoveries
It can be roughly determined
Dayu was active in the upper reaches of the merchant tribe along the Yellow River
Northwest of Zhengzhou
Dayu controlled the Yellow River
According to historical records
Flood during Emperor Yao's reign
The people suffered greatly
Afterwards丨Nine Years of Water Control
Dayu's 13-year flood control
The floods have been raging for at least 22 years
Obviously it is impossible that it was Dayu who rained for 22 years
In light of Chinese history
The only reasonable explanation is that the Yellow River was diverted or the dike was dug
Because the flood could not be drained out
The surrounding area is flooded for a long time
Since the Han Dynasty
The Yellow River has undergone more than 20 major diversions.
Six major diversions
Each time it caused a huge flood
Every dynasty managed the Yellow River
we can even say
Can the Yellow River be tamed?
The fate of the dynasty
The Yuan Dynasty was hit by the Red Turban Rebellion because of Emperor Zhi
So was it the Yellow River that Dayu managed?
In recent years
Archaeological experts found out during their investigation in the Puyang and Anyang areas
PeiligangYangshaoLongshanErlitouYinxu
And the cultural relics of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty
Generally, it is a round mound standing on the plain.
These mound sites are densely distributed.
Basically connected into one piece
Archaeological excavation reports also show
This area
It is the area with the most serious flooding and siltation of the Yellow River.
Some of the ruins are buried 1-5 meters underground.
That is to say
The Puyang area where Emperor Shun's tribe was located
Frequent flooding problems
But during the reign of Emperor Yao
The Yellow River floods again
An extremely rare flood broke out
That's why Dayu controlled floods for more than 20 years
The Yellow River flood changed the power comparison between Shun and Yu
Modern scholars have based their research on historical records and archaeological
Discovery and mapping of the changes in the lower reaches of the Yellow River
Yellow River floods in ancient times
It had a great impact on the Dishun tribe.
But it had little impact on Dayu's tribe.
Several major changes in the Yellow River
Basically, they change lanes from the northeast of Zhengzhou
The only time was during the Ming and Qing dynasties
The Yellow River changes its course in the northwest
This time the impact on Zhengzhou is greater
Dishun is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River
Or can withstand general flooding
And the land is fertile after the flood
So I don't want to leave
But when it happens once in a century
Even during a thousand-year flood
If the terrain is not strong enough, there will be heavy losses.
And it has become weaker and weaker in the floods that have lasted for more than 20 years.
The Dayu tribe was located in the Zhengzhou area
The Yellow River flood had relatively little impact on it
Even if affected by floods
It won't last for more than 20 years.
therefore
The strength of Dayu tribe is gradually increasing.
It can be seen from this
The great flood could change the power balance between Shun and Yu
When Dayu's power gradually increased and even surpassed Emperor Shun
When his water control made him famous all over the world
Will Dayu still be content with loneliness?
The Bamboo Annals recorded that Yao was kind enough to let Shun
Very dark and bloody
Xin Yao De Shuai
For Shun's request
Shun Seeks Yao's Father Yan Sai Dan Zhu
I won't see my father anymore.
About the same period
Han Feizi of the Warring States Period recorded that Shun forced Yao
Yu forced Shun and Tang to release Jie
King Wu defeated King Zhou
This is a sacrifice to the deceased
The one who killed his king
Perhaps this is the truth behind Shunyu's succession
As the tribe's strength grows
The prestige brought by successful water management
Dayu forced Emperor Shun to eventually take his place
Rather than Emperor Shun being willing to be good to Dayu
But Emperor Shun did not let Dayu's tribe develop
I just might have tried.
Unfortunately, it failed
Emperor Shun's attitude towards Gun and Dayu
This can be used as indirect evidence to prove that Emperor Shun was not vigilant enough against Dayu.
For example, Emperor Shun first killed
Later, Dayu passed by his home three times but did not dare to enter.
Go home to see the children
How much time can a child spend at a glance
But the reason why Dayu did not dare
No doubt he was worried that Emperor Shun would use this as an excuse to kill him.
all in all
This ancient flood changed the situation
Let Dayu tribe rise
Thus the Xia Dynasty was established
After 400 years of dormancy, Emperor Shun's tribe
Rise again
Shang Tang destroyed Xia and founded Shang
Next
Dayu left behind a stone tablet of heavenly book
No one has been able to solve it for 4,000 years
Now it has finally been deciphered
It is said that after Dayu pacified the flood
On the rickety peak of Hengshan Mountain in present-day Hunan Province
A stone tablet with 77 characters was erected
Over 4,000 years
Countless writers and scholars passed by here
But they couldn't decipher the words written on it.
now
A scholar of ancient Chinese characters named Ma Heshan
After decades of intensive research
Finally deciphered the contents of this heavenly book stone tablet
So what did Dayu write?
now
Standing on the Yuwang Monument on the rickety peak
The shape of each word is like a tadpole pattern
However, according to some current research by scholars
This 77-character inscription
Neither Oracle
Nor are they some older texts.
So it is very difficult to identify.
It is an archaeological master like Guo Moruo
Three years of research
I can only distinguish the three words above.
Ma Heshan, a famous expert in Chinese character research,
With the spirit of perseverance
Decades of

Finally translated all 77 characters on the Yuwang Stele

Very hard to read
Yanchang is ten times

So what are the specific meanings of these words?
What actually
The text of the Yuwang Stele
The general idea is
Dayu began writing when he received the order from Emperor Shun
To control water
I haven't been back to my hometown for decades.
Even the relatives and birds in my hometown have been forgotten
And because Dayu was in the process of controlling the flood
Appoint the Talented
This led to great success in water management.
From then on, all the channels in the south were unblocked.
The people also have enough food and clothing
There has been no more floods for hundreds of years.
But why for thousands of years
Only Ma Heshan can decipher the text above.
He explained why the Yuwang Stele recorded
Why for thousands of years
Everyone is standing back.
perhaps
He silently waited for his mentor to come and decipher
It should be said that only when you meet the right person at the right time
He could have a tacit understanding with Dayu
