商朝对黄河三角洲海盐资源的掠夺与商朝灭亡

Yin Shang Dynasty’s Plundering of Sea Salt Resources in the Yellow River Delta and the Perdition of Yin Shang Dynasty

商末帝辛(纣)时期,由于中国气候转入寒冷期,农作物减产,动物资源减少,周人开始觊觎灭商。为了转嫁危机,同时也为了掠夺资源,商人对东夷发动了大规模进攻。战争消耗了商的国力,也给周人提供了灭商的良好机遇。因此,在某种程度上,可以说是商夷战争促使了商的灭亡,印证了"纣克东夷,而陨其身"的说法。

In the period of Shang Dynasty governed by the last emperor Xin, Trible Zhou planed to overthrow Shang Dynasty because the climate at that time changed over to cold period;crops were dropped in production and animal resources reduced. For the crisis of remarrying, in order to rob resources at the same time, Shang Dynasty launched extensive attack to Dongyi. The war consumed Shang Dynasty’s capability, and provided a good opportunity for Zhou to overthrow Shang Dynasty,too. To a certain extent, the war between Shang Dynasty and Dongyi had impelled the extinction of Shang Dynasty, which had confirmed the statement ＂Victory over Dongyi has caused Shang Dynasty’s own extinction ＂.
