Chapter 1: Internet celebrity songs are unreasonable and popular. Innocent baby girl is abandoned

The royal family declined during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the nations became stronger every day. This was a great turbulent era in Chinese history and the era of the formation of Chinese culture.

Historians divided the Eastern Zhou Dynasty into the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with a history of more than 500 years.

This period was the prototype of the administrative region and national culture of our country's later generations; it was the origin of our surnames; many historical stories in the past formed later idioms.

To understand Chinese civilization, history, and culture, we must understand the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was divided from the eastward movement of King Ping of Zhou in 770 BC. However, if you want to talk about King Ping of Zhou in the eastward movement, you have to say why the eastward movement is. Our story begins with the birth of Bao Si.

At that time, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty was in Haojing, which is now Xi'an. Therefore, Xi'an has a long history and the ancient capital of the Thirteenth Dynasty. As early as 1046 BC, King Wu of Zhou Ji Fa destroyed the Shang Dynasty. It was passed down to the 11th Zhou Xuan King Ji Jing during the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty also experienced development, prosperity, prosperity, decline and revival.

This year was the 39th year of King Xuan (789 BC), and King Xuan returned to Beijing from Taiyuan. The people were to inspect the household registration, carriages, horses, property, and prepare for the battle.

King Xuan of Zhou expected that the people returned to Beijing and it was already late. Suddenly, he heard waves of children's songs on the street market, which was bright and clear: "The moon is about to rise, the sun is about to disappear, and the arc is about to collapse, and Zhou is almost destroyed."

What does this song mean? The difficult thing here is the word "控子金". "控" is the name of mulberry wood. The branches of mulberry wood are very tough and can be used to make bows in ancient times. Bows made of mulberry wood were called "控"; "控" is a kind of grass, which should be the current "Zhijicao", and some places are called "控". Jicao is slender and flexible, and can be used to weave into daily necessities; "控" is an artifact for holding arrows, and "控" is a quiver made of Jicao.

Then the meaning of this song is understood, "The moon is about to rise, the sun is about to set, carry the mulberry wooden bow and the grass quiver, look at the Great Zhou Kingdom is about to perish."

King Xuan of Zhou was of course very angry when he heard such a song, so he ordered the guards to catch all the singing children. The children scattered in a hurry, and the guards only caught two after a long time.

King Xuan of Zhou asked the two children why they sang such songs and who taught you. The two children said: "It was a child wearing red clothes taught everyone to sing a few days ago. We don't know what it means, but we just felt it was catchy. The song became popular all of a sudden and became an internet celebrity song. Now no one in the city can't say it's from Haojing. But no one knows the internet celebrity song author in red clothes, and now he is nowhere to be found."

King Xuan of Zhou was helpless when he heard this, so he had to let his two children get out and pass on the order to prohibit the sing of this song. Then he found that the whole family was punished. At the same time, the whole city was searching for people selling mulberry wooden bows and quivers.

In this way, King Xuan of Zhou returned to the palace in a depressed mood. When he saw Queen Jiang, he did not expect that Queen Jiang would also report a strange thing.

It is said that there was an old palace maid from the previous dynasty. She was in her fifties and had been pregnant for more than 40 years. She gave birth to a baby girl last night. Queen Jiang thought that the baby girl might be an ominous thing, so she was wrapped in a straw mat and abandoned it in the Qingshui River twenty miles away.

The next day, the city was filled with notices prohibiting the sale of mulberry bows and bags, but the country people did not know.

At this time, a country couple came into the city with several prepared mulberry wooden bows and several grass quivers, preparing to sell some money.

However, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city shouted "taken off". The man reacted quickly and threw away the mulberry bow and fled. The soldiers only caught the woman, but without being interrogated, burned the mulberry bow bag in the street and executed the poor woman.

Besides, the man who escaped was about to arrest him and his wife for some reason. He wanted to sneak back to inquire, but when he heard someone on the roadside talking about a woman from the north gate who was illegally banned from making and selling mulberry bows and bags and had been executed.

He knew that his wife was dead, and he was sad and helpless, so he had to go home alone.

When I walked to the Qingshui River, I saw the birds flying from afar. I felt strange. When I got closer, I saw a straw mat floating in the water, and the birds held their mouths. The man picked up the straw mat and heard a cry. It turned out that it was a baby girl. The man thought that the child was abandoned by the straw mat, but a hundred birds took him out. He must be a noble person, so he took the baby girl to Baocheng.
