In ten years, we have made great achievements in cutting down thousands of mu. A young child makes a teacher.

Life of the characters

Marquis mu of Jin, also known as the father of marquis bang of Jin, is the son of marquis Xian of Jin. In 812 B.C., marquis Xian of Jin died, and King Fei succeeded him as Marquis mu of Jin.

In the fourth year of marquis mu of Jin Dynasty (808 BC), marquis mu of Jin married Jiang, a woman of Qi's clan, as his wife.

In 805 BC, when Jiang Huai was pregnant, marquis mu of Jin received an order from King Xuan of Zhou to lead his army to fight against Tiao Rong. Unexpectedly, the army of Jin was defeated. When Qi Jiang gave birth to their first son, marquis mu of Jin named him Qiu and made him the crown prince to show his shame of not forgetting Tiao Rong.

In the 10th year of marquis mu of Jin Dynasty (802 BC), marquis mu of Jin led an army to attack Beirong, and fought against Beirong in Qianmu (today's shanxizengbei). The army of Jin defeated Beirong in the first World War and won a complete victory. At this time, Qi Jiang gave birth to a second son, so Marquis mu of Jin named him "Chengshi".

In the 27th year of marquis mu of Jin (785 BC), marquis mu of Jin died, and his brother Shang Shu became the king himself. Prince Qiu fled abroad. In the fourth year of Jin Shang Shu (781 BC), the prince Qiu led his accomplices to attack Jin Shang Shu and set himself up as the king.

Political initiatives

According to the outline of the history of Jin State, the state of Jin moved its capital to Jiang at the time of marquis mu of Jin. Where did Marquis mu of Jin move to Jiang? Where is the first capital of Jin? Where is Jiang today? So far, it has been a big case. Historians can only draw a general outline based on the archaeological excavation in recent years: the earliest political center of Jin was near Yicheng, while Jiang may be located in the lower reaches of Huishui (today's Ma Qucun site). Yicheng is located in the highland under Taiyue Mountain, which is inconvenient in transportation. With the expansion of the territory of Jin, the political center gradually shifted to the flat and open downstream of Huishui River, which is also in line with the requirements of historical development and the actual situation at that time.

Anecdotes

As for the names given by Marquis mu of Jin for the two sons, Shifu, a doctor of Jin state at that time, once predicted: "it's strange that the king gave the names to the children! The prince is called Qiu, which means enemy. The younger son is called Chengshi. Chengshi is a big name, which means to achieve him. Names can be decided by themselves, but things have objective laws. Now the name of the legitimate son is just the opposite to that of the common son. Can there be no trouble in the state of Jin after that? " Later, as expected, civil strife took place in the state of Jin for decades.

Brief introduction to tombs

The tomb of marquis mu of Jin was excavated in 1993. It is the only group of tombs with two wives in parallel. Tomb M62 is the tomb of Qi Jiang, the wife of marquis mu of Jin, in Zuozhuan and Shiji, while tomb M63 is the tomb of Yang Ji, another wife, according to the inscription on the pot. From the discovery of Zuo Ding in the 42nd year of King Xuan of Zhou in Yangjia village of Baoji, we know that the title of Ji surnamed Yang has reached the end of marquis mu of Jin, so Yang Jia's marriage was in the later period of marquis mu of Jin, and she lived to the period of Marquis Wen of Jin.

In the tomb of marquis mu of Jin Dynasty, there are abundant burial objects, including eight chimes of "Chu Gong Ni", with inscriptions on them, recording that "Chu Gong Ni went out to commemorate his ancestors and was captured, so he made this chime bell" and so on.

How did Chu things come to the tomb of marquis mu of Jin? Experts said that according to the relevant records of the Chu family in historical records, the time of Chu Gong Ni's reign was almost the same as that of Jin Mu marquis. At that time, the relationship between the two countries was good. It may be that Chu Gong Ni gave the chime bells to Jin Mu Marquis as a gift. Jin Mu Marquis liked them very much and buried them with him after his death.

The first lady Qijiang unearthed a "jade string ornament" in her tomb, but there are not many jade objects. The second lady is not. Judging from the jade objects unearthed in her tomb, she was a jade collector in her life. She not only had the jade of that time, but also had the jade of Shang Dynasty. This shows that the second lady loved to collect the things of the previous generation when she was alive. It can even be said that Yang Jia, the second lady, should be regarded as an early collector in the history of Chinese collection A collector who has a relatively rich collection.
