In October of the winter of this year, King Cheng of Zhou sent his army to destroy the Tang Kingdom in Taiyuan (one of the descendants of Yao, and moved his people to Du (now southeast of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). According to the second volume of "Bamboo Annals": "(In October of the winter of the ninth year of King Cheng, the king's army destroyed Tang and moved his people to Du."

About 1054 BC, King Cheng of Zhou, the tenth year of Ji Song

This year, King Cheng appointed his mother's younger brother Shu Yu in the Taiyuan area of ​​Yao's former ruins, and was called Tang Hou. Volume 2 of the Bamboo Book Anniversary: ​​"(In the tenth year of King Cheng of Zhou, the king appointed Tang Shen (Shu Yu as the Marquis."

1053 BC

This year, Tang Shuyu presented Jiahe to King Zhou. King Cheng of Zhou believed that Jiahe was born and his contribution was due to Duke Zhou, so he ordered Tang Shu to Guihe to Duke Zhou (Volume 2 of "Bamboo Annals": "(In the eleventh year of King Cheng, Tang Shu presented Jiahe, and the king ordered Tang Shu to Guihe to Duke Wen of Zhou."

In 1018 BC, the ninth year of King Kang of Zhou

Around this year, Tang Shu Yu Zixie's father changed the name of the country to Jin. According to the second volume of "Bamboo Annals": "(In the ninth year of King Kang, Tang moved to Jin, and was beautiful, and the king sent someone to give it up." The history of Jin began from then on.

Note: Among the twenty-one counties belonging to Ban Gu's "Han Shu-Geography-Taiyuan County", the first one is listed as "Jinyang County", and he notes himself: "So in the Tang Dynasty, King Cheng of Zhou destroyed the Tang Dynasty, and his fief was Shuyu, Longshan was in the northwest, with a salt official, which came from the Jin River and entered Fen in the east."

Also: Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Notes" Volume 6 "Jin Shui" distinguishes the place names of "Tang" and "Jin Shui" in Volume 6, and says:

Jin River exited the west of Jinyang County. The county was the Tang State. The "Qiu Zuo Zhuan" said that Tang Shu was not born, and his mother, Emperor Jiang Meng, said to Ji, "I named him Yu, and I will follow him to the Tang Dynasty. When I was born, I named him Yu." "Lu Shiqiu" said: "Shu Yu lived with King Cheng, and Wang Gongtongye was made, and gave him to him, 'I'll use this to grant you this title.' Yu told Duke Zhou. Duke Zhou asked, 'Is the emperor granted Yu?' The king said, 'I am not joking about it.' The emperor was destroyed. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, so he conferred it to Tang." The county had Jin River, which was later renamed Jin, so Zixia said, "The poem "It is called Jin, and it is called Tang, which is frugal and polite, and has the legacy of Yao.

.The Book of Jin - Ditao Records and the Records of Thirteen Prefectures say that the Jin River came out of Longshan, and it was a Jiezhai Mountain, which was in the northwest of the county. The "Shan Hai Jing" says: "The mountain of the hanging von is coming out, and the Jin River comes out." Now it is in the southwest of the county. In the past, Zhibo stopped the Jin River and irrigated Jinyang... Later generations followed the remains to be a squash. The mountain between the west side of the squash was surrounded by water, and there was the Tang Shuyu Temple... The most beautiful place in Jinchuan... The city is in the Yang of Jinshui, so it is called Jinyang. The classics wrote that the Jinshui Xun and Wu Shuai defeated Di in Dalu. Du Yu said: "Dalu is Jinyang County." It was the old capital of Jin. In "Autumn-13th Year of Dinggong", Zhao Yang rebelled against Jinyang, and later became Zhao. The water also entered Fen in the southeast.

About 964 BC, King Mu of Zhou passed the thirteenth year

In order to avoid the invasion of Rong Di, the fourth generation of Jin Dynasty, the king of Jin Chenghou Ji, sent people to move the capital from the current Taiyuan area to the south to Quwo (now northeast of Wenxi, Shanxi. Yang Bojun's "Qiu Zuo Zhuan Notes": "The son of Tang Shu, Xiefu changed the Tang Dynasty to Jin, which is now Taiyuan City. The fourth generation went to Chenghou and moved south to Quwo, and now to Wenxi County, Shanxi. The fifth generation went to Muhou and moved to surrender again, and the surrender came to Yi" (1981 edition of Zhonghua Book Company.

In 960 BC, King Mu of Zhou passed the seventeenth year

In August of this autumn, after the capital of Jin moved south, Taiyuan formed a vacuum of rule. In view of this situation, King Mu of Zhou migrated some minority tribes who surrendered to Zhou to Taiyuan. According to the volume of "Bamboo Annals": "(In the autumn of August of the 17th year of King Mu, he moved to Taiyuan."

In 863 BC, the seventh year of King Xie of Zhou Yi

This year, the Rong rebelled in Taiyuan, and King Yi of Zhou sent Duke Guo to attack him, and obtained a thousand horses in Yuquan (now unknown place name. According to the Bamboo Book Annals: "(In the seventh year of King Yi, Duke Guo led his command to attack Rong in Taiyuan, and as for Yuquan, he obtained a thousand horses."

In 823 BC, the fifth year of King Xuan of Zhou

In June of the summer, King Xuan of Zhou sent Yin Jifu to the north to Taiyuan and attacked Yan Yu. "Bamboo Annals": "In June of the fifth year, Yin Jifu led the army to attack Yan Yu in Taiyuan. "This is recorded in the Book of Songs-Xiaoya-June". The poem says, "When the thin and the fierce and the fierce and the strong and the powerful, the great power of the country is the constitution."

In 795 BC, the 33rd year of King Xuan of Zhou

This year, the Zhou Dynasty's army once again attacked the Rong in Taiyuan again, but failed to win. According to the Bamboo Book Annals: "In the thirty-three years, the king's army attacked the Rong in Taiyuan, but failed."

In 788 BC, the 40th year of King Xuan of Zhou

This year, King Xuan of Zhou counted the registered people in Taiyuan. According to the "Bamboo Annals": "Forty years, I was expected to be the people in Taiyuan." "Mandarin - Zhou Yu Shang": "After King Xuan lost his troops from the southern country, I was expected to be the people in Taiyuan."

According to legend, around the 21st century BC, China was in the late stage of patriarchal clan society. Huangdi was the common ancestor of all ancient tribes. Shanxi was the territory of Yao, the leader of tribe Yao. Yao was the Tao Tang clan, named Fangxun, and built his capital in Pingyang (now Linfen, Shanxi. It is known as the Yao temple in history. Emperor Yao Miao Liu Lei was granted the title of Tang State. It is an ancient country with a very early history in my country. It has gone through the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. By the 11th century BC, after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Yin Dynasty, he also destroyed the Tang State, which was descended from the rebel Liu Lei. After King Wu of Zhou died, his son Song succeeded to the throne and became King Cheng of Zhou. King Cheng of Cheng of his younger brother Shu Yu was granted the title of Tang. Tang, which actually accepted everything left by Liu Lei's descendants.

, its territory is the Fen River and the Qing River Basin in Shanxi. As for where the ancient Tang City is, there are two statements: one is 20 miles west of Yicheng County; the other is 2 miles north of Jinyang County, Bingzhou. This place is not carefully studied. But the more common statement is that the latter may be seen from the reality that after the Tang Dynasty changed to Jin, descendants did build Jinyang City in the area of ​​the ancient Tang City and built Citang for Tang Shuyu in Jinyang. My opinion is that the second statement is possible. To be more objective, it may be that Yao Tang built his capital in Linfen, Liu Lei's descendants built Tang City in Yicheng, and Shuyu established Tang City in Jinyang. In any case, Taiyuan, Shanxi was the fiefdom of the ancient Tang Kingdom.

During the reign of the reign of Emperor Wu Ding of Yin, he was promoted to the title of the king of Wei (Ji Gong in Xiaxu (now Xia County, Shanxi) and called the Tang Kingdom (Western Tang Dynasty, and his son Yu Wei (Shiwei, became the surname Wei Kingdom). In this way, during the Shang Dynasty, there were three Ji (North Tang Dynasty, Southern Tang Dynasty and Western Tang Dynasty (or the surname of Qi, the kings were all descendants of Emperor Yao.
