Introduction: Who is the most famous subjugated king in Chinese history? King Zhou of Shang was just a bad king, but the key was that he was also a tyrant, which had offended the public. Not only did he create wine pools and meat forests, he also invented the punishment of burning to death: tying a person to a copper pillar, and then heating the copper pillar with charcoal to scorch the human body alive. It's the same as the restaurant's Teppanyaki. Human flesh should not be used for barbecue. This is evil.

As far as three years ago, Pan Geng, king of the Shang Dynasty, lived here for eight generations and twelve kings, 254 years. On the contrary, the most famous one is King Zhou of Shang, the king of the country who was killed by King Wu of Zhou. As I hurriedly walked around the ruins of the Yinxu palace, my companion asked me what I was looking for. I answered with a smile: wine pool and meat forest. Amused travel companion: Do you want a piece of the pie?

I looked around and sighed: Unfortunately, I can’t even see any leftovers. There is a lake next to it, but it only has some stagnant water and no water. There are many woods beside the lake, with only a few half-green and unripe fruits on them. Too plain! Especially compared with the era of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty.

Since Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, King Zhou of Shang can be regarded as the first ancient monarch to be extravagant in food. Shen Nong is like a herbivore, teaching us to distinguish between fruits, vegetables and grains. King Zhou of Shang had completely "evolved" into a carnivore. He dug many large pits in the dunes and gardens and poured carefully brewed nectar into them, which were called wine pools. The cooked meat of animals and poultry is also hung on the surrounding branches, which is called the meat forest.

So the carnival of King Zhou of Shang began. He took the lead in streaking, asking all the handsome men and women in the palace to take off their clothes, chase and play in the wine pool and meat forest, and indulge in a feast with him.

This scene, just think about it, it would be like a Category III film if it were not filmed.

He is a wine matchmaker. King Zhou of Shang Dynasty was both good at wine tasting and lustful. His favorite Daji was the first 'beautiful woman to be a disaster' in Chinese history. Some people say that she dragged the originally smart and strong King Zhou of Shang into the water and indulged in material enjoyment, leading to the neglect of national politics. Daji is also a player, and she may have helped in the Roulin Wine Pond ‘invented’ by King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. In my imagination, this ancient modern girl who didn't even wear three-piece clothes was lying on the shore of a swimming pool full of sweet wine, sunbathing and showing off her devilish figure. She completely transformed the temple of her dynasty into a heavenly bathhouse. Her wine pool is even more luxurious than Yang Guifei's Huaqing Pool.

: "I will indulge in fine wine. 'Use wine as a pool, use meat hangings as a forest, make men and women naked, chase each other, and drink for a long night.' Li Dengnian, a teacher I know, wrote a book "Historical Records of the Yin Dynasty" recorded this passage and named it "Yin Wine Pond and Meat Forest Feast". He also commented: This is an entertainment banquet that reflects the luxurious and shameless life of the slave-owning nobles of the Shang Dynasty. It is a 'negative teaching material' for Chinese food culture for criticism.

But to be honest, this King Zhou of Shang could not govern the country, and he was really creative in eating, drinking and having fun. And generous enough. Drinking and eating in the open air is not a picnic. He is greedy and lively like a beast. He is not satisfied with eating alone, but he also invites everyone to come together. Just kidding: this must be a man of temperament. ! Don't want to wait and see. Unfortunately, don't take other people's cream too seriously.

After all, the palace is not a playground. , but the people can't afford it after all. How can they live? This phenomenon began to appear in the era of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty.

There is nothing wrong with the Meat and Wine Forest, and it can even be said to be an ideal for mankind. The happy life of drinking from big bowls and eating large pieces of meat that heroes are passionate about seems "childish". Who doesn't want to eat well? If everyone in the world can enjoy wine ponds and meat forests, utopia will be realized. .

Inequality between rich and poor is always the starting point of social conflicts. This is how King Zhou of Shang collapsed.

I pay more attention to tableware than weapons. What's the point? It's so fun to eat and drink. In my eyes, bronze pots, bronze pots, and the like are equivalent to ancient hot pots. Look, I don’t know which one was only used by King Zhou of Shang Dynasty and which one was only used by Daji. Was it popular to drink toast at that time? What kind of drinking order did they have at that time? The wine was still there, but the drinkers were gone. The prohibition on alcohol is gone.

I heard that King Zhou of Shang was an alcoholic.

Otherwise I wouldn’t have thought of using a swimming pool to hold wine. How many wineries do you need to serve it?

Not just kings, businessmen generally drink good wine. This is recorded in history books. The brewing industry in the Shang Dynasty was relatively developed. The first climax of Chinese wine culture must have started in the Shang Dynasty. The wine jars, wine barrels, wine bottles, and wine gourds of later generations are undoubtedly inferior to the wine pool in terms of momentum. Alas, King Zhou of Shang was willing to risk everything!

If it was just wine and meat, it would not constitute a serious crime for King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. At best, it is a matter of personal style, or corruption in private life. In the era of monarchy and private ownership, how high level of consciousness can you ask him to have? He could destroy it if he wanted to. Who can stop it?

King Zhou of Shang was just a bad king, but the key was that he was also a tyrant, which had offended the public. Not only did he create wine pools and meat forests, he also invented the punishment of burning to death: tying a person to a copper pillar, and then heating the copper pillar with charcoal to scorch the human body alive. It's the same as the restaurant's Teppanyaki. Human flesh should not be used for barbecue. This is evil.

I refer to the food list of the Shang and Zhou sacrificial feasts. There is a dish called Pao Dou, which is roasted suckling pig. I wonder if this dish sparked some evil inspiration from King Zhou of Shang?

Visiting the Yin Ruins in the open air, the wine pond and meat forest have been wiped out. What you can see is the dry chariot pit in the king's tomb, and the bones of the buried slaves. So disgusting.

Well, there are eye-catching things here, such as Oracle. I saw the rudiments of Chinese characters, engraved on ancient tortoise shells, shining brightly.

There are hundreds of thousands of oracle bone fragments in the Yin Ruins. Where did all these tortoise shells come from? Before they were alphabetized, they were probably eaten by greedy merchant nobles. The dawn of civilization was born out of the "remnants" of this barbaric age.

Oh, Yin Ruins makes me dream about it.
