Historically, King Wu of Zhou set up the sanjian (three supervisors, 三監) to manage the area of Shang wangji (the capital of Shang, 商王畿). Who were the sanjian and how were they managed? The received historical record is rather chaotic and complicated. Moreover, after King Wu’s death, Wugeng (武庚) and the sanjian rebelled. After King Cheng of Zhou successfully suppressed the rebellion, he allowed Kangshu (康叔) to manage the Shang wangji. However, there are many differences between excavated documents and the received historical record. From the Han dynasty to the present, scholars have discussed many of the above issues but have not reached a consensus. Through textual research on the Tsinghua Bamboo Slips, this paper takes the position that the so-called “Xian jian Kangshu yu Kangqiu” (先建康叔于康丘) in the text means that Kangshu was made a prince before many others were made princes; the specific time was in the second year of King Cheng of Zhou. Based on “Geographical Records” of the Hanshu, I think Kangqiu was the place where Kangshu established his capital, called Bei, which was at the site of the Yin Ruins. I also argue that King Wu of Zhou installed Wugeng and set up the sanjian after he conquered the Shang dynasty, mainly because of the Shang’s strength at that time. The role of the sanjian was one of military supervision, and the garrison locations were at Bei, Yong and Wei. Two years after conquering the Shang dynasty, King Cheng of Zhou moved most of the people of Bei and Yong to Jiuli (九里) and then to Luoyi (洛邑). The remaining Yin people who did not move were divided into two parts: the people of Bei were given to Kangshu, and the people of Yong were given to Weiziqi (微子啟), who was soon moved to the state of Song (宋). After the populations of Bei and Yong were moved, King Cheng turned over supervision of the entire Shang wangji to Kangshu, with the specific location of the fief being Kangqiu (located at the Yin Ruins). Because of the vastness of this territory, Kangshu and his son Zhongmaofu (中旄父) separately ruled Yin (Bei and Yong) and Dong (Wei), respectively. After the annihilation of the country called Yan in the third year of King Cheng, Kangshu went to the Zhou dynasty to serve as the minister of justice, and his people were moved from Kangqiu to Wei in the fourth year of King Cheng. There are two main reasons for the ruination of Yin: the destruction caused by the Zhou people and the migration of the Yin people. The ruination of Yin was complete after the second year of King Cheng of Zhou. |
