Idiom story

In the battle of Muye, the Shang army was defeated, the king of Zhou of Yin set himself on fire, and the powerful Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty. The imperial song of the capital city was abolished, and Jiuding, a symbol of state power, was moved to Luoyang, where Wu Geng, the son of King Zhou, was allowed to manage the remaining people of the Shang Dynasty. King Wu admired the name of Jizi, and sent Duke Zhao to release Jizi, and asked him the way of governing the country. Shangshu Hongfan was written according to Jizi's words. King Wu said, "ah! Jizi, heaven protects the people and helps them live together in harmony. I don't know what common principles of governing the country are prescribed by heaven. " Jizi replied, "I heard that in the past, flood control by blocking was against the law of nature and disturbed the arrangement of the five elements of water, fire, wood, gold and earth. Many water conservancy projects ended in failure. The emperor of heaven was so angry that he didn't give him the nine great ways of governing the country. When he died in exile, Yu got up to inherit his father's business, followed the law of nature, and spared himself. The emperor of heaven helped him to control the flood successfully and avoid the flood. In order to control the flood, Dayu went through his family three times but didn't enter. God was moved, so he gave him nine kinds of great laws. Therefore, the common sense of governing the country and stabilizing the country was established. " Jizi summed up the common rule of governing the country stipulated by heaven: "the first is five elements, the second is to do five things carefully, the third is to do eight kinds of government affairs well, the fourth is to use five kinds of timing methods, the fifth is to establish the highest rule, the sixth is to use three kinds of virtues to govern the subjects, the seventh is to use divination wisely to eliminate doubts, the eighth is to carefully study all kinds of signs, and the ninth is to use divination Wufu exhorted Zamin to punish evil with Liuji. He concluded that if you want to be the son of heaven, you should treat the common people as your own children and be the king of the subjects in the world, just like parents. Among them, in the three virtues, he pointed out that only the king can be good and powerful, not the ministers. Later, it is often used to be domineering, which generally refers to relying on position, arrogance and abuse of power. Jizi told his way of governing the country in an all-round way. He didn't mean to be obedient to the people by eating Zhou millet. Instead, he summed up his history in the Shang Dynasty in order to open a new period of history. King Wu was also aware of Jizi's intention. He was worthy of being a king of Ming Dynasty. With a broad mind, he granted Jizi to Korea and did not treat him as a minister. Jizi then led a large number of people from the Shang Dynasty to Korea. As for today's Pyongyang, a new vassal state was established, known as Jizi Korea in history. Jizi ruled the country with benevolence and morality, supplemented by the law. He promulgated and implemented the "eight prohibitions". The country was under great rule, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment at night. At the beginning of the civilization of the Korean Peninsula, Jizi was praised as the "country of gentlemen" in the Central Plains. Jizi mausoleum is a relic of Jizi mausoleum in North Korea. In the Tang Dynasty, Jizi temple was built in Nanguan of Chaoge, for which Liu Zongyuan, a writer, wrote inscriptions.
