Sometimes
it is more impressive to hear someone talk about the subjectthan reading
oneself. Esp. a westerner to talk about China
immortal Zhou Gong, the
Duke of Zhou. If he isn’t the most revered person from Chinese history,
he’s certainly in the top three. He guided the earliest years of the Zhou
Dynasty through treacherous times. Zhou Gong was responsible for building
a great amount of the foundation from which Chinese culture has evolved. He was
credited with elaborating the doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven,He was also known as the First Sage (s 元圣, t 元聖,
Yuán Shèng).
In 2004, Chinese
archaeologists reported that they may have found his tomb complex in Qishan
County, Shaanxi
Duke of Zhou is also known
as the "God of Dreams". The Analects record Confucius saying,
"How I have gone downhill! It has been such a long time since I dreamt of
the Duke of Zhou." This was meant as a lamentation of how the governmental
ideals of the Duke of Zhou had faded, but was later taken literally. In Chinese
legends, if an important thing is going to happen to someone, the Duke of Zhou
will let the person know through dreams: hence the Chinese expression
"Dreaming of Zhou Gong".
