商末周初的微氏家族

Wei Family Between Afternoon of Shang Dynasty and Forepart of Zhou Dynasty

商末周初,纣王无道,微子启数谏不听而率族奔周。在商灭亡过程中,以微为族称和方国名称的微氏家族、微史家族及微方、微国的称谓频频见于甲骨文、金文、史籍等。微子启作为商末微地的封君,与文献中的微氏家族和微方、微国在族源上有着极密切的联系。

Between afternoon of Shang Dynasty and forepart of Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Zhou was very corrupt. Wei Zi advised him several times and he didnt adopt them. Wei Zi guided his family members to go to Zhou Dynasty for shelter. During the process of dying out of Shang Dynasty, We can often see the name of Wei family in inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells of the Shang Dynasty, Words of Jin, historical books and so on. WEI Zi-qi, the emperor of the region of Wei in Shang Dynasty, had close connections with the origin of the family.
