The collective name "Da Shi" did not only include the lineal ancestors whose name initiated with the character Da (大,or Tai); "Liu Da Shi (the Six Great Ancestors)" was the collective name of the five royal ancestors whose names were initiated with the character Da大,which were Da Yi大乙,Da Ding大丁,Da Jia大甲,Da Geng大庚 and Da Wu大戊 plus Shang Jia. Moreover,King Zhong Ding中丁 seems to ought to be included into Da Shi; the Qi Da Shi (the Seven Great Ancestors) would have been the five royal ancestors whose names were initiated with the character Da plus Kings Shang Jia and Zhong Ding.展开更多
