Chinese Culture and History (1)

1046 BC. The last emperor of 商Dynasty named 纣. When he was busy in a battle with some minority people, on his back one of dukes rose in rebellion and successfully seized the power and that was the first emperor of 周Dynasty. This was the third dynasty of China. At that time, whenever a new dynasty was into power, the tradition normally arranged a fief for the old emperor instead killing him. But the emperor纣 was a person staunch with moral integrity. He committed suicide. The new emperor had no choice but arranged his two sons as noble and provide them a good fief.

Then this Dynasty ruled peacefully for two hundred years, until an emperor named 幽. The Chinese historian called this emperor as sex mania. 799 BC.  A small country named 褒 contributed a 13 year’s old beautiful girl named 褒姒 the emperor indulged in love with her. As there was no historian record her background some legend teller fabricated a story for her.
