A Research On Yi Yin's Stories In The Pre-Qin And The Han Dynasties

Yiyin was a very important figure in the history of the Shang Dynasty.He first appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the Shang Dynasty and was called "old minister".From the Oracle inscriptions,Yi Yin's position in Yin people's sacrificial genealogy is quite lofty,and he can offer sacrifices to Shang King as well.However,it is worth noting that although the pre-Qin literature and books mostly about Yi Yin's description,but mostly scattered,and there are contradictions and conflicts.By investigating the story of Yi Yin in the handed down and unearthed materials,we find that the story of Yi Yin has been enriched in the process of development,and with the changes of the times,new content has been added.This paper attempts to analyze the evolution of Yiyin's story,which is divided into the four parts.The first part is the introduction,which mainly reviews and summarizes the previous research results of scholars,clarifies the shortcomings of existing research results,demonstrates the significance of the topic,and briefly describes the research methods and ideas of the paper.The second part is the analysis of Yiyin materials from pre-Qin Dynasty to Han Dynasty.Through the diachronic combing of the inherited documents and unearthed documents in the five stages of Yin Shang,Western Zhou,the Spring and Autumn Period,Warring States Period and Han Dynasty this paper discusses the development and evolution of Yiyin stories.This part is the main body of this paper,trying to sort out the different changes of Yiyin's deeds in each era and reflects the different themes in the social context,and properly analyze the different reasons.The third part is the case analysis of Yiyin's story.This paper focuses on extracting several typical cases from Yiyin's stories,and further demonstrates the changing track of Yiyin's stories.The fourth part examines Yi Yin's stories from different perspectives,and examines other factors that influence the changes of Yi Yin's stories.Mainly from the perspective of narrative subject,region and school.
