武乙中兴与《商颂》作期

The Reviving of Emperor Wu-Yi and the Creative Time of Songs of Shang Dynasty

《天问》第53韵段"吴获迄古,南岳是止。孰期去斯,得两男子?"隐寓吴国于商王武乙时代创立的史实,太伯、仲雍遵古公亶父之命来到南岳衡山地区联络苗蛮集团,实施"翦商"计划,遭到商王武乙的讨伐,率荆蛮千家沿江千里大迁徙到长江下游吴地(今江苏无锡)建国。吴地为大禹之后古越族繁衍之地,太伯、仲雍为站稳脚跟向商王武乙上表称臣,这段罕为人知的历史隐含在《商颂》之中。《商颂·殷武》篇题"殷武"即生称"武王"的时王武乙,《商颂》五篇实际是时王武乙以其成功告神而创制的大型宗庙祭祀乐舞中的歌辞。从其内含史实来分析,将武乙时期至少35年的历史称之为"武乙中兴"并不为过。

The 53th rhyme section of Tian Wen was metaphor of the historical facts about the found of the vassal state Of Wu in the era of Shang emperor of Wuyi. The Brothers of Tai-Bo and Zhong-Yong came to the areas of Mount Heng to connect with minority of Miao-Man under their father Gu-Gong-Dan-Fu orders,and implied the plan of attacking Shang Dynasty. After Being defeated by Shang emperor WuYi , the Brothers leaded thousands of family of the minority of Miao-Man to the reign of Wu where in the lower Yangtse River （now Wuxi city in Jiangsu Province）. Wu area was the breeding place of the Gu Yue nationality after Dayu, Taibo, Zhongyong stood firm to hand in memorial to Shang emperor Wuyi by calling themselves sujects. This phase of little-known history is implicitly recorded in Ode to Shang. YinWu included in Ode to Shang points to Shi King Wuyi who called himself as ＂Wu Wang＂ during his life. Five chapters in Ode to the Shang is actually the songs speeches created by the emperor Wuyi with his success to sue God in the large-scale temple sacrifice dances. From its historical facts, it is not too much to call the 35-year history of Wuyi period as ＂the reviving of emperor Wuyi＂.
