Duke of Zhou 周公旦(1), 雅公 (28)


Duke of Zhou 周公旦(1), 雅公 (28)

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".

西周初年周公輔佐天子周成王周公东征打败了伙同武庚叛乱的殷商旧属国,之後周公长子伯禽代替周公前往受封的奄国故土建立鲁国
