Why is King Wen of Zhou called Xibo ?

Because the Zhou people originated in the northwest, King Wen of Zhou carried forward the tribe of the Zhou people, and King Wen of Zhou named him Xibo in order to envelop King Wen of Zhou, which was later handed down.

for his fiefdom was in the western region. In addition, his age is older than the current king of Shang, so he was named Xibohou.

Because Zhou Tianzi was very authoritative in Xirong's sphere of influence, equivalent to their Son of Heaven, he was called Xibo.

The reason why King Wen of Zhou called Xibo: In order to curb the power of the Zhou people, the Shang king Wenliang repented and split Ding, in the name of rewarding, summoned Ji Li (the father of King Wen of Zhou) to Yindu, nominally named "Fang Bo", known as "Zhou Xibo", and was the chief of the Western princes. In fact, after being under house arrest for a period of time, he was killed on trumped-up charges, and the Zhou people were buried in Chushan.

After Ji Li's death, Ji Chang succeeded to the throne as Xi Bochang.

King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen (c. 1152 BC - c. 1056 BC), surnamed Ji, was a native of Qizhou (now Qishan County, Shaanxi). The founder of the Zhou Dynasty, the grandson of King Tai of Zhou, the son of Ji Li, and the father of King Wu of Zhou. Also known as Zhou Hou, Xibo, Ji Bo, Zhou Yuan oracle bone inscription as Zhou Fangbo.

Originally a prince of the Shang Dynasty, he was named Xibo. Able to respect the old and the young, corporal courtesy. Taidian, Hong Yao, San Yisheng, Manzi, Xinjia Doctor and others all defected one after another.

Shang was tyrannical, he knew and sighed, and was imprisoned in Jinli (now Tangyinbei, Henan). After being bribed by Hong Yao and others, he was released, dedicated to the land of Luoxi, and asked for the punishment of abolishing cannon branding. After returning to Zhou, judging Yu (now Pinglubei, Shanxi) and Rui (now Ruicheng, Shanxi) two countries disputed, and won the support of the princes, so they cut down the dog Rong, Misu (now Lingtaixi, Gansu), destroyed the former lack of the country (now the east of Huxian County, Shaanxi), established Fengyi (now the west of the Fenghe River in Chang'an, Shaanxi), and moved the capital here, and then cut down the country of Yu (now Jiaozuo West, Henan), and destroyed the Li State (now the southwest of Changzhi, Shanxi), and the princes returned to the public.

In the forty-fourth year of his reign, King Wen was appointed, proclaimed king, and changed the yuan.

In the fiftieth year of King Wen of Zhou (about 1056 BC), he died, and he was buried in Biyuan (the tomb of the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty is located at the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain in Qishan County, Shaanxi).

In the first year of Tianzhu (690), Wu Zetian called himself the emperor, claimed to be the descendant of Ji Chang, and posthumously honored King Wen of Zhou as the ancestor Emperor Wen.

Friends who have watched "Fengshen List" know that King Zhou Wen is also called "Xibochang".

So why is Zhou Wen Wang Jichang also called "Xibo"? It is estimated that many people are not very clear.

The historical records do not make it clear what exactly this "Xibo" means.

But from the "Five Bosses" in the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as the "Five Bosses", we know that the so-called "Xibo" is actually the "Xiba" - the Xirong overlord.

Ji Chang is Xibo, and Qin Mugong in the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons is actually Xibo.

The meaning of Xirong is the overlord of Xirong - that is, the co-lord of Xirong, which is actually the Xirong version of Zhou Tianzi.

Ji Chang called Xibo, after being defeated by the king of Shang and captured back to Zhou, he used force and persuasion to get the leaders of the various tribes in Xirong to jointly elect, so he was "mandated by heaven and the son of heaven".

Xibo is the name of Zhou Tianzi from a Chinese perspective when Zhou was not extinguished.

Ji Chang called Xibo, which was the beginning of the official founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was a major event, that is, "the poet Dao Xibo was called king in the year of his appointment" recorded in the historical records.

So when did Ji Chang call Xibo?

King Wu conquered in 1046 BC.

King Wu's reign was in the fourth year of King Wu's reign.

King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen was ordered to call Xibo for seven years and died, that is, King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen was ordered by Heaven to call Xibo 11 years before King Wu's war: 1057 BC.

After Ji Chang's death, King Wu Ji Fa succeeded Xibo.

However, after Ji Fa raided and destroyed the Shang, the power of the Shang State was still very strong, so Ji Fa did not claim the title of king in the Central Plains, and he was still the identity of Xibo.

This is also why Ji Fa only divided the four fiefdoms of Qi, Lu, Yan, Zhibeiguan, and Cai, and they all showed a posture of encirclement around the Shang State, and the territory of the Shang State did not move at all.

After Ji Fa's death, Ji Yu ascended the throne.

Because Guan Shu Ji Shuxian or Ye Xiang and Cai Shu Ji Shudu were dissatisfied with Zhou Gong Ji Dan's monopoly on Zhou Tianzi's power, they rebelled and crusaded against Zhou Gong Ji Dan together with Di Xin's son Wu Geng.

After the victory of Zhou Gong Ji Dan, he moved the Yin Shang nobles to the Song Dynasty and the Yin people to Wei, isolating them, and the Yin Shang power declined.

It was not until 1037 B.C., the seventh year of the reign of King Ji Yu of Zhou Cheng, that Zhou officially called the Son of Heaven and the king in the Central Plains.

Since Ji Changjian was called Xibo in Zhou, and Ji Chan, the king of Zhou Cheng, it was only after 20 years that he officially called the Son of Heaven in the territory of all vassal states and became the co-lord - especially the Yin Shang forces.

Despite this, Zhou Tianzi is still Xibo and is still the co-owner of Xirong.

King Wen of Zhou (1152 BC - 1056 BC), surnamed Ji, Ming Chang, son of Ji Li, marquis, Huaxia clan, founder of the Zhou Dynasty. After the death of his father Ji Li, he inherited the position of Xibo, so it is also called Xibochang.

King Wu of Zhou Ji Fa (c. 1087-1043 BC), the founding monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the second son of King Wen of Zhou.

It doesn't matter at all!

In that era when the productive forces were extremely underdeveloped, these two kinds of people could not meet at all.

Dizzy, all got off the car or something, they were together.

But after death, hehe.

"Xibo" is Ji Chang's title in the Yin Dynasty, and "Hou" is Ji Chang's title, commonly known as "Hou Ye".

The order of titles is, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, etc.

Under the system of "Three Princes and Nine Princes", "Nine Marquis, Ehou and Xibo" are the respective titles of the three grand dukes of the imperial court.

And the "Marquis of Xibo" may be the prince of the period when the "Marquis" had a fief, and was promoted to the grand duke and entered the dynasty as one of the three dukes.

Therefore, when "Xibo" was in charge of the Yin court, the "Xibo Grand Duke" can also be called "Xibohou".

Ji Chang, King Wen of Zhou, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, Liu Bang was the King of Han of Shu Han for a period of time, Duke of Zhou was the founder of Confucianism, and Ji Chang's fourth son, Ji Dan.

Xibohou is Ji Chang.

The overlord of Western Chu is Xiang Yu.

The king of Han is Liu Bang.

Duke of Zhou is Ji Dan, the younger brother of Ji Chang, King Wen of Zhou, and the uncle of Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou.

Xibohou - that is, the king of Zhou Wen - the overlord of Western Chu - that is, the king of Xiang Yu and Han - (referring to) Liu Bang? Duke of Zhou - that is, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, Ji Dan.

King Wen of Zhou, surnamed Ji Mingchang (1152 BC 1056 BC), the son of Ji Li, the founder of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After Ji Li's death, he inherited the position of Xibohou, also known as Bochang. Reigned for 50 years.

Shang was the Xibohou, founded the country under the Qishan Mountain, accumulated good deeds, politicization, because of Chonghou Hu's slander to the king of Zhou, and was imprisoned in Jinli, and was released. Yixing benevolent government, the princes of the world are mostly subordinate, and after King Ziwu has the world, he is posthumously respected as the king of Wen. The poem "King Wen" is the first poem of "Daya", which praises the founder of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen Jichang.

Zhu Xi's "Collected Poems" according to the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Ancient Music" chapter for this poem explained: "The Zhou people recounted the virtues of King Wen, and the Ming country was ordered to replace Yin, all because of this, to become the king with a ring." This indicates that this poem was written in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty and was written by Zhou Gong.

Later generations said "Poems", and more said from then on. Yu Peilin's "Poetry Classic" said: "Observing the Chinese characters of poetry, earnestly admonishing and admonishing, so it is also true."

At this point, the purpose of the poem, the four characters can be exhausted, saying: 'Respect the heavens and the ancestors.' This is a succinct statement.
