　　Biography
　　(The former is the official history, the latter is the story of the Gods is a novel, do not stir muddy children)
　　King Zhou
　　The last king of Shang Dynasty, the last king of Xia Jie is the eponymous tyrant. Name Sim, as Di Yi's son, Zhou is the posthumous name, Singh is the name, it is also known Dixin, history as King Zhou. His talented, quick thinking, superb martial arts, mighty, and the beast was unarmed combat. Has repeatedly attack the Eastern Yi, captured a large number of slaves, so that the Central Plains culture gradually spread to the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, lay the scale of China's reunification.
　　King Zhou of the dissolute and brutal known. He preferred drinking, and greed in and woman. Pet Daji, to discuss obtaining the like, Zhou massive construction projects, expansion of the palace Yuanyou dunes, birds will dissipate into the atmosphere in which wild animals, many large-scale banquet, with wine for the pool, hanging the meat for the forest, doing all it can extravagant extravagant things. He also predatory, high-Fu heavy taxes, brutally crushing the people, to meet the huge costs. He also invented a large Shih despotic power, "Bao Luo," the instruments of torture, with a copper hollow pillars, columns of red-hot charcoal fire. Dissatisfied with his subjects will be stripped of atrocities, tied Cylinders roasted alive on death. He will man beheaded or legs, as a routine, even worse, to take fetal abdomen cut open the woman pleasure, cruel to the extreme.
　　The two armies met Makino, weeks soldier who courageously rush ahead, there is no business fighting the military, have defected to meet King Wu Ji Fa. King Zhou Chaoge fled the city, insight has been unable to turn, no way out, self-immolation die at Parkview, declared demise of the Shang Dynasty, and its about the 11th century. The demise of business, with the political decline, social unrest, economic weakness and other reasons withered, but the inverse of King Zhou of the regular facilities, resulting in deserted undoubtedly a very important factor, which accelerated the country's complete collapse 600 years.
　　Daji
　　Hou Jizhou protect the daughter of the Soviet Union. Shang Zhou Xin's Aifei Prince, a beauty, but also sing and dance. "Historical Records • Yin Ji" records, Yan Zhou Wang "wine Yin Yue, favorite in the women. Love Da Ji, Da Ji's words are from." He was the "wine for the pool, the county of meat for the forest, naked men and women, phase-by-the meantime, as long night of drinking." In the future, people often lost his country and in sex linked fault, therefore, the sister of hi summer, business of the concubine Daji week became the object of a curse.
　　　　
　　Daji hi view "Baoluozhixing" will Tongzhu oiled, fired by Tan, so that the line of its inmates, the drop in red-hot charcoal, burned feet, screams from time to time. Daji hear the screams of prisoners, stimulate the senses like hearing the music as laugh. Da King Zhou had to win a smile, the abuse of heavy penalty.
　　King Zhou's no way aroused people's resistance. King Wu of Zhou took the opportunity to launch a cutting princes, the war in Makino, one stroke off business, King Zhou fled Lutai self-immolation, hanging Daji also died.
　　　　
　　In "Gods" had been written out in Da is confused by the provider to send Nvwaniangniang King Zhou, the country ruined the fox business King Zhou, the equivalent of beauty this woman spy, but unfortunately not the last inch work table, counter to be cut Ruhuasiyu lost a good head (a pity, I feel is the fault of Nu Wa.)
　　　　
　　Daji this woman, with the "Gods," the popular and well known. "Gods," Peach said as she was brilliant, seductive and moving, beautiful scene, is the metamorphosis of the Millennium vixen adult, to confuse King Zhou indulge in sex, prurient harm the country, do not get down to business services, the fall of Shang. When the Zhou people off business after killing Daji, even the executioners are fascinated by its beauty, could not bear to start, ready for their death.
　　　　
　　Shen Public leopard

　　Tiger black spots
　　Original characters in the book. Shen made public sacred leopard ride.
　　Provide prospective priests
　　Western Buddhist leader, with the edge of the West to the people.
　　Of casuistry
　　"Gods" author who has always been different opinions,
　　One is Xu Zhong Linzhuan.
　　According to Yang Ming Shu contains Edition of "Gods" Volume II title department "Zhongshan Yi Sou Xu Zhonglin Edit", a book out of the possession of a CD library of Japanese cabinet, only the Department of Volume II have questions. Frontispiece has written the preface Hanjiang Li Yunxiang, order Cloud: I just washed from the Friends of Chu Shu-owned share in the re-marking with Mr. Zhong Bojing "Gods" one, not actually the industry is more than the end being to care. More than worthy of continued mink, _delete_ the ridiculous to the vulgar, and at every time after, or is the word, or anti-that, or the language to write Chao Xue Xia fierce loyalty of its products, treacherous stubborn Dayton of the state, in the troubled world No people do not wake up ears.
　　It can be seen, this book was originally written for the Xuzhong Lin, additions and deletions to be after the engraving by Li Yunxiang. Tianfu Xu Zhonglin people of South Zhili should, whole story is unknown.
　　Second Star to Miss West essays.
　　According to the Qing Anonymous "Meeting legendary test" VII "," When Shun "Legend problem solving," says: "Gods Biography" Yuan Chuan Road, Long Lu Changgeng Department made, whether the unknown? Cheng-Lang in "<Investiture of the Gods> Talk" article, the basis that Miss West Star is the "Gods" of the "Yuan" is a "time out" in error. Lu Changgeng name of West Star, is the Ming Dynasty government of Yangzhou Xinghua County, was born in the late sixteenth century, "Chung Yuan Lu word order is issued," said Western Star "to all students learn to proofread Jia bad", there is a certain spirit of rebellion. Because of the "Nine test is not met, then abandoned Rufu yellow crown."
　　Shih Ming Wanli _select_ed promising "Ming Guangling Poetry" Volume Twelve received Luxi Star twenty-four, the "birth no longer home" language. Lu Cheng-Lang is also verified after the monk is Lu Yan West Star (sent by the Dongbin) Road sent, so the "Gods" in the pressure appears Taoist Lu, Lu Zu innuendo.
　　Third is Shizhen essays.
　　Jiang Rui algae in the "sticks about the novel," Cloud: Popular Chuan Wang Yanshan state as "Golden Lotus" for the court know, that was Royal into view. Yanshan states fear a night to become "Gods" as a generation of He, consequent head white.
　　Note algae cloud Jiang Rui cited "lack of name notes." This said, absurd, discredited.
　　Fourth in a Ming Dynasty scholar relegated.
　　Qing Liang Kui, "Country Life Suo Ji" VII "Gods Biography," Cloud: Xiyou home exhausted all the scholars, who married his eldest daughter, second daughter with resentment color, comfort of the scholars said: "Poverty is also worry-free." .. Speech as "Gods" to draft grant women the line after the husband of Azusa, unexpectedly large profits and so on.
　　Liang Kui in the "traces the continued talk about" Juan Liu, "Gods Biography" still talk about the matter, and cloud this "scholar" is "before the next one legend."
　　These four said that a greater impact in the first two, but the general publication of "Gods" or signed as the Ming Xu Zhonglin. West Star on land that is worth attention and study, Zhang G Lang, Mr. Sun Kaidi said this has brilliant expositions, Mr. Zhu Yixuan in the "_Select_ed Data Ming and Qing Fiction," also said this quite seriously.
　　Taoist influence
　　On the tablets up_set_ the traditional system, according to their own separate arrangements were envisaged, but only as a myth Taoist novel, Rituals of the altar in the ritual did not make reference to. But this novel appeared later, in religion and various aspects of the clergy tablets have a great impact, it is a few examples to see the obvious.
　　1. The idea syncretism visualized. This novel reflects all three religions in one view. To write is easy, choose a provider at the end of times weekly during this period recorded in the classic Taoist deity representing the Road Legend already exists, but the leader of the three religions in the world are not born. Therefore, the wording of Bishijiuxu used in Taoism Hongjun ancestors, the deification of Lao Tzu out in the first, although leaders Qunxian, but regardless of the actual things, and Sin in God, and to Yuanshi Tianzun respect. Western Buddhism, said only, to provide prospective and not to mention respect for Buddha Taoist. Because the Buddha has not yet come to earth at this time, "Shared I" is also in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty before the birth, not the establishment of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, the fifth _set_ back about three Gods Teachings of the Church is to explain religion, cut education, humane. "Humanity" is what to teach, not to mention this back to the future. So take the book to avoid the real imaginary, in this later history of the names who later recorded, are not included, only the transmission of ancient mining fairy fairy said spirits in order to avoid discrepancies between the times too. Several among the Buddhist Bodhisattva turn out in the Senior's Yuanshi within twelve disciples, which means that the Buddha by the Immortals, from non-students have, the origin of three religions are all cents to send, this novel is actually in the Ming Dynasty syncretism , they also shape the image of the creation story with its even more specific. Taoist thought eliminated in the opposite factor. The Taoist Taoist Chi Hong in worship (ie, Bodhisattva), is after the beginning of this book Chukan, this effect is devoid of boundaries of the two education played a mixture of two further promote the role of religion. Later, the popular "blue lotus white lotus leaf, the origin of three religions is one." Verse, but also the impact of this work.
　　2. Additions to the Taoist tablets and supplements. "Gods" system, Taoism did not use. Temple deity, based upon the Song system unchanged. But the impact of this novel, adding a lot of God, such as:
　　(A) Xuantan Temple, the temple for Zhao Gongming, Feng Zhao Gongming because of Gods is a dragon for the dragon wishful Xuan Tan Chun Kwan, director of Auspicious Hannaford, and Zhao Bao revere, Jane Tianzun satisfied, move Financial messenger, highly profitable large cents official forty men of God, so is the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming respect since the last Beijing Eastern Hospital Xuantan DONGYUEMIAO Hall, incense height.
　　(B) Erlang Qingyuan Miao Road Zhenjun legend changes. Li Bing and his son, then Erlang flood control by the evolvement of this comes later in the Song Dynasty in the beginning to deify, quotations Zhu Bing also said that he was the second son, from the "Gods", "Journey to the West" two popular books, then Chun Yang Jian was Jiro deity, in the "Gods" in the blame for the seven Meishan annihilated by Yang Jian; in "Journey to the West" has become the Meishan Erlang seven brothers. Erlang Bing second son by the first Evolution of the Sui Zhao Yu Chia-Chou Prefecture, and then as Yang Jian Evolution, indeed by the "Gods" effect.
　　(C) Dongyuetaidi its sub Bingling Gong, the God of Mount Tai, tablets from early. The Bingling Gong titles, also in the Song Dynasty. But the World Bank book, the general belief of the people, but that is Huangfei Hu Dongyuedadi, Bingling Gong is a yellow day of.
　　(D) cycle or Tai Sui statues, although distinguish the name for the gold, but the image has to Mukuang two students hand in hand for two projects in mind, it is obviously subject to any novel image of Yang. And Yang in the book is labeled six decades of any of Tai Sui.
　　(E) In addition, there is the god of plague Beijing Dongyue Temple, but also by upgrading the Ming Dynasty.
　　Significantly more than just a few examples, the actual impact of Taoism tablets by the book, yet more than that.
　　3. Folk beliefs. The image of the novel, such as the open side of God Bute, Fangxiang, although recorded in ancient books, but rather brief. Since the book Chukan after the funeral in the ranks of the old society, a large, open in front of God are these two paper models of the giant elephant, "behind a screen" movie, also appeared before the ranks of Xianfeng funeral bury these two idols. Vertical columns in the building of civil occasion, posted a red paper to write "There are always here, to avoid the gods." Owed much to the person that Jiang Taigong is Gods, and all wicked and wild are in their subordinates, not the non- so.
　　There are a number of novels _set_ in the life of the idea that everything is predetermined. When King Wu of Zhou Xing Shang Zhou as the former _set_ off; Gods is also a list of scheduled talks, the three religions. This idea led to his right and wrong, right from wrong conclusion with the furnace, regardless of good people and bad, are to stage a glimpse of Gods, so that at the end, is one of the biggest shortcomings.
　　Born in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but because of nine test is not the first, was converted to Taoism, ease Dao. Changes in thinking from his point of view, despite the time constraints, there is fatalism; but witnessed the affairs of state at non-, pepole suffering, bribery of public rows, underappreciated situation, full of hate this ugly reality, is also dissatisfied with the then known to obtain the high priest of the church. So his vision is from the dirty politics swing flaw polyester, clearance in the religious heresy. Therefore, the religious school to open cases on their own record, claiming the East School; In politics, praised the lifting of King Wu of Zhou people cutting crime, and a late-bloomer, not blame them for cutting Chen Jun; affirmed us against the actions of Li Jing, praise the attack to justice and to the parent child. His subject, "Yin Fu Jing," influential, he believes that "view of heaven, executive day trip" is correct, with "human hair Murder, the world again, Heaven OECD, million of fixed base" in the spirit that there is chaos in the Ming Dynasty, not a great person such as King Wu of Zhou, a late-bloomer to be clarified so that people can not. Magic man, regardless of the era, the so-called magic that is ugly in lieu of that, quite to safe heaven of the world's late-bloomer from the promise given, so the use of the system of religious language, more vaguely twists and turns in expressing his dissatisfaction with the wish of the then political reform thought, in this respect is the achievement of its desirable; in its influence on religion is relatively large. Therefore, this novel in the history of Taoism is worth mentioning.
