The story of Jingsu and Xingtai
Jing Su originated from the ancient Xing state. Zhang Su, who belongs to the southern rosefinch, originated from the Qinghe River in Xingtai. The legends of Bo Yi Building the well and waving the gong to make the bow are the origins of Jing Su and Zhang Su in the southern rosefinch, respectively.
Jingsu is combined into two rows in the East and West, such as the wall of a well. The Milky Way flows in the south of Jingsu from northwest to Southeast. There are four Mudu in the southeast of Jingsu, namely the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, which are in line with the actual geographical location of the ancient Xing state. Jingsu is a well in the sky, which originated from the ancient Xing state. Xing state is a very ancient country, and Xing people are a people with a long history. The predecessor of Xing state is Jing Fang in the Shang Dynasty, and the predecessor of Xing people is Jing Fang, The legend of the originator of the Jingfang family is Bo Yi (also known as Bo Yi), a descendant of Zhuanxu in the five emperors in ancient times. The book of the world says, “Bo Yi built a well”.
“Huainan Zi” said: “Yi Zuo Shun, the first well.” Bo Yi is the founder of the invention of drilling wells. Before the invention of well building technology, people had to live close to the river and endure the threat of river flooding. In ancient times, Bo Yi assisted Dayu in controlling the flood in Xingdi. In the process of controlling the flood, he discovered the secret of groundwater, so he made wells to benefit the people and greatly promoted the development of Xingtai and the vast northern region. His descendants of Xingdi took Jing as their surname and developed into Jing Fang, which is the origin of Xing people. Today, Bo Rencheng in Xingtai The legend of yiyicheng site is related to that period of history.
During the period of Shang Zuyi, the capital was moved to Xing, and Xing was the capital of the state for a hundred years, so the Jingfang clan was able to develop into the Jingfang state, becoming an important Fangguo in the middle and late Shang Dynasty. The Oracle said, “Jingfang was in the Tang Zongyi.” The Queen’s wife, Wu Ding, king of Shang Dynasty, came from Jingfang, and there are many records in oracle bone inscriptions. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin (King Zhou) promoted Jingbo to Jinghou, and Jingfang became the Marquis of Xing. After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed Shang, the Xing people were conquered, but their power was still very strong. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the vassal state 71 was enfeoffed, of which the Ji surname was 53. Xing, which came into being, became the vassal state of Jing Yuan (Ji Ju), the fourth son of Duke Zhou. To the East, Qi was the vassal state of Jiang Ziya, Lu was the vassal state of Bo Qin, the eldest son of Duke Zhou, and to the north, Yan was the vassal state of Zhao Gong, To the west is Jin, the enfeoffment of Shu Yu, the younger brother of King Cheng, and to the south is Wei, the enfeoffment of Kang Shu, the younger brother of Duke Zhou.
As for the state of Xing, there are many historical records in the history books, such as Bo Rong, diaoxiao, Gongyu, and Duke Huan of Qi rescuing Xing. The precious bronzes of the Western Zhou Dynasty unearthed in Xingtai, such as Xing Hou Yi, Xing Hou Zun, and Xing Hou Zhen, confirm this history. This state of Xing, which was gradually developed and formed due to Boyi’s well building, has been alive for hundreds of years, and has become an important marquis in the Western Zhou Dynasty, playing an important role in resisting Rong Di and Ping fan in the Western Zhou Dynasty, And eventually evolved into Jingxiu, one of the 28 stars in the zodiac in the cosmic sky.
In addition to Xing in Xingtai, there are also records of Xing in Xingqiu, Henan and Baoji, Shaanxi, but Xing in Henan and Shaanxi are later than Xingtai. Xingqiu was originally the place of Xing, which was enfeoffed by the Jin State in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, later than the Xing state in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Xingguo in Xingtai was called Jing in ancient times, which was surnamed Ji, while Xing in Shaanxi was called Jing in ancient times. Some people said that it was a fief of descendants of Jiang Ziya, which was surnamed Jiang, not Ji. However, more and more cultural relics unearthed in Shaanxi and other places have proved that Xing in Shaanxi is not surnamed Jiang, but the same ancestor of Xing in the state of Xing, and the descendants of the first generation of Xing houjingyuan.
The well in Shaanxi was later than that in Xingtai. According to the descendants of Jingyuan, the first generation of Xing Hou, except that the second son Xing Zhong ascended the throne as the second generation of Xing Hou, his eldest son Xing Bo and his third son Xing Shu were called to the Zhou Dynasty to assist in the national politics. There is an uncle Camp Village in the ancient city of Xingtai. It is said that it is the reason why Xing Hou commemorates his brothers Xing Bo and Xing Shu. The lineage of Xing Bo and Xing Shu has a certain importance in the political status of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Their historical relics can be regarded as an integral part of the history of Xing state.
