Who's Zhou Muwang?

The Western Zhou Dynasty was the heyday of our slave society. During the Western Jin Dynasty, a number of ancient bamboo slips were found in an ancient tomb of the Warring States period. One of the ancient bamboo slips records the story of a king's westward journey in the Western Zhou Dynasty. This story says: In the heyday of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a handsome emperor Mu Wang who wanted to travel around the world. He drove an eight-horse and a group of horses eastward along the Wei River, arrived in Jin Meng and crossed the Yellow River. Then push north along the western foot of Taihang Mountain, reach the foot of Yinshan Mountain, and turn west for some distance. He went to Kunlun Mountain, walked thousands of miles to the west, and arrived at a country with beautiful scenery, that is, the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West, with a fluffy hairstyle and a drooping leopard tail, hosted a banquet for Mu Wang in Yaochi. King Mu presented a large number of special products of the Central Plains and exquisite silks to the Queen Mother, who returned various local treasures and invited King Mu to visit the mountains and rivers in her country. Mu Wang wrote it? Quot Xiwangmu Mountain ",and planted a locust tree as a souvenir. When leaving, the Queen Mother of the West gave a banquet to see her off, and wrote a poem "I wish you a long life and wish you come again" to express your attachment to Mu Ren.

According to expert research, this story is not a myth, but a historical fact. Zhou Muwang was the fifth king of the Western Zhou Dynasty after Zhou Wenwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty. His surname was Ji Ming Man, who lived in 976 BC and died in 922 BC. At the age of 55 noon 105. When Zhou Mu was in power, the western region of the Western Zhou Dynasty was often attacked and plundered by some nomadic tribes. In order to defend the western frontier, Zhou Muwang led the army to the western expedition twice, defeated all the tribes in Xirong, captured five tribal leaders alive, and opened the road to the western regions. Zhou Muwang likes traveling. After the opening of the western regions, Zhou Muwang began its great westward journey in 964 BC. According to historical records, the distance from Haojing to the land of the Queen Mother of the West in Zhou Muwang is *** 1? 2 1 Wan Li. Scholars used to think that according to the mileage mentioned in the story, the country of the Queen Mother of the West should be in West Asia or Europe. However, at the Sino-Japanese Symposium on Mu Chuan in 1992, scholars pointed out that Li in the pre-Qin period in China, referring to the short Li, was only 77 meters long today. Therefore, the country of the Queen Mother of the West should be in Xinjiang, Gansu, with Xining and Lanzhou as the front yards, Xinjiang as the backyard, Dunhuang and Jiuquan as the center. This view has something to do with Ban Gu's Hanshu? Is there 1 comfortable residence in Chang 'an-Syr 'er River Valley? Wan Li's account is consistent.

The fluffy hairstyle and leopard-tailed costumes of the Queen Mother of the West are also confirmed in the unearthed cultural relics. A colorful dance basin was unearthed in the northwest of China. There are three groups of dance scenes in the basin, with five people in each group, with loose hair on their heads and dancing clothes hanging down from their backs like leopard tails.
