After the demise of Shang Dynasty, where did all its people go?

After the Battle of Makino, with the demise of Shang Dynasty, their people can be divided into four categories.

The first category, led by Lu Fu, the son of Zhou Wang, was allowed to stay in the capital of Shang Dynasty. Later generations were divided into Song and Wei.

Second, the Shang Dynasty, headed by Ji Zi, left the old and the young, moved eastward to North Korea, and established a waiting country for Ji Zi with local aborigines;

The third category, continue to resist and eventually be eliminated;

Fourth, before the demise of the Shang Dynasty, Shao Shi, Xinjiang and others defected to the Zhou Dynasty following a fault with a surname.

The following details the final destination of several types of people.

One is the adherents of Shang Dynasty who continue to live in Zhou Dynasty.

These people are divided into two categories, one is to establish their own vassal state, and the other is to integrate into the Zhou Dynasty.

The first category: After the demise of the Shang Dynasty, in order to appease the adherents of the Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang, the king of Wu, asked Wu Geng, the son of Zhou Wang, to sing a song in the morning and gave the rest of the Shang people to Wu Geng. At the same time, Ji Wang in Shang Dynasty was divided into three departments: Wei, Ti and Tai, ruled by his younger brothers Guan Shu Xian (East Wei), Cai Shudu (West Ti) and Huo Shuchu (North Tai) to monitor Wu Geng. So-called? Three supervisors? .

In Historical Records Zhou Benji IV, Shang and Zhou were named as their father Yin and others. Yin Chu decided not to get together, and made his younger brothers Xian and Cai Shu treat Yin with their fathers and brothers.

Later, after the death of King Wu, Zhou Gongdan became king, and Xian and Cai Shu joined forces with Wu Geng to launch a rebellion, which took three years to quell. Then Wei Zikai replaced the management of the descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties and sealed it in the Song State. Most of the adherents of Yin Shang Dynasty were named Wei Kangshu, the younger brother of King Wu, and founded the country. What needs to be explained here is that Wang Wei came from the Zhou Dynasty, and only a part of his people are descendants of the Shang Dynasty. Song kingdom, from the monarch to the people, is a descendant of Shang dynasty. He died in Qi in 286 before the end of the Song Dynasty and Qin in 209 before Wei Dynasty.

Guan Shu and Cai Shu's younger brothers suspected the Duke of Zhou, so they made an insurrection with Wu Geng. Duke Zhou was ordered to punish Wu Geng and Guan Shu and release Cai Shu. After Wei Zi took the Yin Dynasty, the country was in the Song Dynasty. Quite a number of lingering people named Wei Kangshu the younger brother of King Wu.

The second category: After Taishi, Shao Shi, Xinjiang and others defected to the Zhou Dynasty. These people were in charge of sacrifices and musical instruments in the Shang Dynasty. These people disappeared into history and should have merged with the Zhou people.

The second is the adherents of Yin Shang who are unwilling to accept the rule of Zhou Dynasty.

These people are also divided into two categories, one is to establish a country outside China, and the other is to continue to resist being wiped out by Zhou.

The first category: Shang dynasty elder who were closely related to that Zhou dynasty, such as Ji Zi, who led a group of Shang dynasty elder to cross the sea from Jiaozhou Bay to Korea, which had certain ethnic relations with the Shang dynasty, and established a country that helped the world. Accompanied by Jing, Nan Gong Xiu, Kang Hou, etc. Later, King Wu named him the North Korean Hou. The national subjugation in the Western Han Dynasty.

The second category: continue to resist until they die. Someone stubbornly resisted and was finally killed. According to records, after the demise of the Shang Dynasty, more than 90 Shang Dynasty princes refused to surrender, were wiped out by Zhou, and were beheaded by hundreds of thousands.
