Who is the most famous monarch in the history of China? Shang Zhouwang is just a bad king, but the point is that he is still a tyrant, which has angered the public. He not only created the meat forest in the wine pool, but also invented the punishment of burning people: tying people to copper columns, and then heating the copper columns with charcoal to burn them alive. It's the same as teppanyaki (such as sizzling beef) in restaurants. You shouldn't barbecue human flesh. This is immoral. I am a self-styled gourmet, and I always think of something related to eating wherever I go to play. It seems that you are studying. Even if you visit the Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan, it is no exception. Many years ago, King Pan Geng of Shang Dynasty made a detour here, which lasted for 254 years. The most famous is Shang Zhouwang, the king of national subjugation who was killed by Zhou Wuwang. I hurried back and forth in the ruins of Yin Ruins Palace when my companion asked me what I was looking for. I smiled and replied: wine pool meat forest. I amused my colleague: Do you want a piece of the action? I looked around and sighed: it's a pity that I can't even see the leftovers. There is a lake next to it, but it is only some stagnant water, and there is no alcohol. There are also many Woods by the lake, with only a few green and immature fruits on them. Tai Su! Especially compared with Shang Zhouwang's time. Since Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, Shang Zhouwang can be regarded as the first ancient monarch to achieve profligacy in diet. Shennong is too like a herbivore, teaching us to distinguish fruits and vegetables from whole grains. Shang Zhouwang has completely evolved into a carnivore. He dug many big pits in sand dunes and gardens, and poured carefully brewed nectar into them, which was called wine pool (equivalent to the earliest artificial lake in China? )。 There are also cooked animal meat and poultry meat hanging on the surrounding branches, which is called the meat forest. So the carnival in Shang Zhouwang began. He took the lead in streaking, stripped all the handsome men and beautiful women in the court, chased and played in the meat forest of the wine pool, and accompanied himself to a feast. This picture, just imagine, is like a third-grade film without shooting. Wine is a matchmaker. Shang Zhouwang is good at wine and lewd. Da ji, whom he favored, opened the first case of "femme fatale" in the history of China. Some people say that she dragged Shang Zhouwang, who was originally smart and strong, into the water and indulged in material pleasures, which led to the neglect of national politics. This da ji is also the core of the organization. Shang Zhouwang "invented" the meat forest wine pool, perhaps she also contributed. In my imagination, this ancient and modern girl, without even wearing a three-point dress, is lying on the bank of a swimming pool full of sweet wine, sunbathing and showing off the devil's figure. She completely transformed a temple of a dynasty into a celestial bathing place. Her wine pool is more luxurious than Yang Guifei's Huaqing pool in later generations. "Historical Records Yin Benji": "(Zhou Wang) takes wine as a pool, hangs meat as a forest, men and women are naked, and drinks all night." Mr. Li Dengnian, whom I know, is writing a book "China Ancient Banquet". He recorded this passage and named it "Yin Jiuchi Meat Banquet". He also commented: this is a banquet, reflecting the extravagant and shameless life of the slave owners and nobles in Shang Dynasty. It seems that the meat feast in the wine pool has become a "negative textbook" for China's food culture to be criticized. But to tell the truth, this Shang Zhouwang is not good at governing the country, and he is really creative in eating, drinking and having fun. That's generous enough. Eating wine and meat in the open air is not a picnic Naked gluttony is as vivid as a beast. I'm not satisfied with eating alone, but I also want to invite everyone to come ... Just kidding: it's a bit of a return to nature. This must be temperament! Not willing to wait and die, be careful. Too bad it's overdone. I don't take people's cream seriously. Can ordinary people not scold you? Palace is not a playground after all. You take part in accidental amusement and sit in an empty seat. After all, ordinary people can't afford it. How do they live? In the era of Shang Zhouwang, the phenomenon that the wine in Zhumen stinks and the road freezes bones began to appear. There is nothing wrong with the meat forest in the wine pool, and it can even be said to be the ideal of mankind. Compared with the happy life of drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in large chunks that Liangshan heroes are keen on, all this seems "naive". Who doesn't want to have plenty of food and clothing? If all the people in the world can live in the wine pool and meat forest, utopia will be realized. The inequality between the rich and the poor is always the starting point of social contradictions. That's how Shang Zhouwang collapsed. A large number of bronzes were unearthed in Yin Ruins. I pay more attention to tableware than weapons. What's the point of fighting? How fun it is to eat, drink and drink. Bronze tripod, copper spring, copper bowl and the like are equivalent to ancient hot pot in my eyes. Zun, Tong Jue and Tong Jian are drinking utensils. I looked at them one by one, wondering which one was used by Shang Zhouwang and which one was used by da ji. Was it popular for them to drink toast then? What kind of wine did they order? The wine set is still there, the drinker left, and the wine order was lost. I heard that Shang Zhouwang is an alcoholic. Otherwise I wouldn't have thought of holding wine in the swimming pool. How many wineries are needed to serve it? Not only kings, but also businessmen generally drink good wine. This is recorded in the history books. The brewing industry in Shang Dynasty was relatively developed. The first climax of Chinese wine culture must have started in Shang Dynasty. The jars, barrels, wine bottles and wine gourd of later generations are undoubtedly inferior to the wine pool in momentum. Alas, Shang Zhouwang is really throwing caution to the wind! If it's just a pool of wine and meat, it doesn't constitute much crime in Shang Zhouwang. At most, it's a matter of personal style or corruption in private life. How tall can you expect the monarch to be in that era of private ownership? He can destroy it if he wants. Who can stop it? Shang Zhouwang is just a bad king, but the point is that he is still a tyrant, which has angered the public. He not only created the meat forest in the wine pool, but also invented the punishment of burning people: tying people to copper columns, and then heating the copper columns with charcoal to burn them alive. It's the same as teppanyaki (such as sizzling beef) in restaurants. You shouldn't barbecue human flesh. This is immoral. I checked the food list of Shang and Zhou sacrificial banquets, and there was a dish called cannon dolphin, which was roast suckling pig. I wonder if this dish inspired Shang Zhouwang's evil inspiration? Visiting the Yin Ruins in the open air, the meat forest in the wine pool has vanished. What you can see is the dried-up chariot pits and the bones of dead slaves in the king's mausoleum. It's disgusting. Well, there are bright things here, such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions. I saw the rudiment of Chinese characters, carved on the ancient tortoise shell, shining. There are hundreds of thousands of pieces of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins. Where did you get so many turtles? Before they were carved, it was estimated that they had been eaten by greedy business nobles. The dawn of civilization was born on the "leftovers" of this barbaric era. Alas, Yin Ruins make me daydream.
