Zhou Gong's History And Legend Research

This paper centers on the diachronic records of the Zhou Gong in the literature,combs the historical records of the Zhou Gong in the early literature,and the increasing appendix of the legends of later generations to the deeds of the Zhou Gong.Starting from the inheritance of the Zhou Gong's ritual music and its ritual music in the State of Lu,it describes the changing track of the Zhou Gong's historical narratives and legends,restores the general thread of the development of the Zhou Gong and legends,and explores its Cultural motivation.The full text consists of five chapters:The first chapter is a textual research on the history of Zhou Gong's "making rites and making music".After King Wu's death,the Zhou Gong managed Luoyi to control the East.The Zhou Gong's Zhou and Chengwang's Zhou coexisted,which was also the power basis of the Zhou Gong's ritual system and the legend of "Kingship".During the period of Juluo,Zhou Gong had abundant cultural resources of Shang Dynasty and witchcraft talents,which laid the "literature" foundation of Zhou Gong's ritual composing music,and also decided the basic way of making ritual composing music,that is,adjusting Yin Li,incorporating "Shang Dynasty's Code" into "King Wen's Code" and making it "orderly",thus forming the "Code of Zhou Gong" and the "rule of literature" tradition of Western Zhou Dynasty.Chapter two analyses the inheritance of ritual and music in Lu and its emphasis on Duke Zhou."Gong Feng" and its Eastern Biography embody the cultural policy and ruling strategy of Zhou Gong and Lu State regarding Hawaii as their self-esteem and using Hawaii as their ruler.The "rule of Zhou Gong" in the state of Lu abides by the"code of Zhou Gong" and emphasizes rites and music.When Lu Qigong wanted to compete for hegemony with rites and music,he issued the banner of "After the Zhou Gong",advocated the system of rites and music of the Zhou Gong,and resumed rites in the State of Lu and in the suburbs.In order to compete with Song Dynasty's Shang Song.Lu Qigong made people create Lu Song,which broke through the limitation of the use of the rites and music of the emperor.The advocacy of "Zhou Gong Li" and "after Zhou Gong" by the State of Lu established the special status of Zhou Gong in Ji's surname.The confirmation of the doctrine that "Zhou Li is in Lu" by the overlord Jin Guo promoted Zhou Gong's position and role in the system of ritual and music in the Zhou Dynasty.Chu and Wu acquired Zhuxia's status because of Lu's ritual and Jin's power.They acknowledged Lu's and Jin's evaluation of Zhou Gong.Zhou Gong's influence spread to all the Yi countries,and the legend of Zhou Gong's going to Chu came into being.Chapter three discusses the text generation and addition of Zhou Gong's works.Changdi originated from the poems of Zhou Gong 's feudal relatives and swallow princes.It called on Duke Mu to return to the ritual of "integrating clans into the Zhou Dynasty",which contributed to Changdi on the basis of the old poems.Changdi,Jiaogong and Tangdi are a series of poems based on Zhou Wengong's poems.The chapters in Yizhou Shu,which belong to Hongfan documents,are based on the knowledge of numbers and the formation of human knowledge.They originate from the worship of numbers and the professional tradition of "Shu Dian" and "Gong Dian" in Wuzhu and Gu Shi of the Western Zhou Dynasty.The centralized appearance of Zhou Gong's Hong Fan documents reflects the collection and arrangement of Zhou Gong Xun by the intellectuals in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.After the Han Dynasty,a large number of classical documents were regarded as the achievements of Zhou Gong's ritual and music in the biography of classical Chinese classics and Confucian classics,and the saying of Zhou Gong's ritual and music came into being.Under the influence of this kind of atmosphere,after the Eastern Han Dynasty,there appeared some books of arithmetic and arithmetic,such as Zhou Bi,Jiu Zhang and Zhou Gong Jie Meng,which were written by Zhou Gong on the basis of name or affiliated association.Chapter Four studies the sanctification of Zhou Gong.Confucius,through "Mei Zhou Gong" and "Meng Zhou Gong",connected his ideal career with Zhou Gong's ambition.While inheriting Zhou Gong's ambition,Confucius also realized the shaping and reconstruction of Zhou Gong's ritual music,which became the starting point for future generations to understand,understand and discuss Zhou Gong and his ritual music.Because of the theoretical dilemma of Confucianism in political ethics,during a period of time,there was no self-consistent explanation of the historical events of Zhou Gong's regent,return to government and killing his brother,which resulted in the theoretical obstacle of Zhou Gong's sanctification.Mozi's solution to the problem of Zhou Gong's sanctification laid a theoretical foundation and ideological preparation for Mencius and Xunzi to solve the problem of Zhou Gong's sanctification in the Confucian doctrine system.Mencius and Xunzhen's sage theory solved the problem of Zhou Gong's sanctification,and brought Zhou Gong into its Taoist system,which improved the status of Confucianism and the right of discourse in historical experience.Thus,Zhou Kong's Tao came into being.The fifth chapter discusses the integration of the documents of Qin and Han Dynasty to Zhou Gong's deeds.From the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties,Zhou Gong's image and deeds enriched in the form of story accumulation.The absorption and integration of Zhou Gong's stories in Jinwen Jingzhuan and Shiji promoted the stereotyping and solidification of Zhou Gong's image and deeds.Because the deeds of Zhou Gong were highly consistent with the state structure and political situation of the Western Han Dynasty,the story of Zhou Gong gradually became a political symbol and played a role in political discourse.Emperor Guangwu deleted and transformed the prophecy of Zhou Gong,who served Wang Mang.Therefore,Wei Shu's portrayal of Zhou Gong emphasized his status as "sage" and "loyal minister".Under the guidance of the theory of prophecy and latitude,the image of Zhou Gong gradually penetrated into the people's hearts and became a well-known political and cultural symbol,and the sanctification of Zhou Gong ended.
