"Bo" also means "Ba" in ancient Chinese. After Gou Jian, the king of Yue, destroyed Wu, Zhou sent messengers to send him meat and named him "the uncle of the East". The so-called "oriental scholar" means "oriental overlord", which is also the legal basis for Gou Jian to be listed as one of the overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because there are two interpretations of "Bo", there are different views on the title of "Xibo, Zhou Wenwang" in history. There are two main opinions, namely "Xibo" title. Uncle west. Lucy's title is the most mindless statement. Because Xibo, who was a businessman in his early years, naturally became an earl. Xibo nationality was the title of Zhou Wenwang at that time.
Some history books simply say that Zhou Wenwang's ancestors were named Xibe from their ancestor Hou Ji, and later they were replaced by Zhou Wenwang, and Zhou Wenwang also took Xibe as a knight. As for Shang Zhouwang's naming Zhou Wenwang Xibo, it is likely that Di Xin, Shang Zhouwang, also intends to follow the example of his ancestor Wang Wending and put Zhou Wenwang in prison first to find a reason to get rid of him. Unfortunately, I was deceived by my weakness and finally let the tiger go back to the mountain and ruined the Shang country.
I think you can see here that Xibo in Zhou Wenwang is not a title, but a title above a title-Fangbo, which is roughly equivalent to the meaning of "Uncle of the West" in later generations, referring to the head of western governors. Xibo, the "West Uncle", is also a "West Uncle", but Xibo is very different from Gou Jian, the overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as "East Uncle". Xibo values Fang Bo's meaning more than "overbearing". How is Zhou Wenwang? Zhou Wenwang was able to have four cronies, and with the help of Jiang Ziya's loyalty, his reputation and position were rapidly consolidated and expanded. Zhou Wenwang's fame is not entirely due to the advertising effect.
I think there are several reasons: Zhou Wenwang is pragmatic and low-key, and Zhou Wenwang is very dutiful when he is strong. Low-key gives him a lot of points. In ancient times, nature was the main concern, so Fuxi was the creator of innate gossip. The rumor of the day after tomorrow was improved by Zhou Wenwang. At that time, the focus was on people, so Zhou Wenwang interpreted gossip as sixty-four hexagrams, which fully reflected people's thoughts. Now, sixty-four hexagrams are the most widely used. Summary: Zhou Wenwang's greatest contribution to Zhouyi is people-centered, so his interpretation of the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi is dedicated to personnel, which is Zhou Wenwang's greatest contribution.
Kangua is water, and most rivers in China flow from west to east. The ancients thought that there must be a lot of water in the west, which is inexhaustible. So the cantaloupe is placed in the west, and the root melon is the mountain. There are many mountains in the northwest of China, such as Tianshan Mountain and Helan Mountain, which are also the birthplace of Kunlun Mountain, so Geng Xu was placed in the northwest. At that time, people knew nothing about man and nature, and their understanding of the world was very simple, which was designated as "ancient" in the history of China's cultural development. There are different opinions about the age of human origin in the scientific community.
