◎Song of Picking Common Vetch

Boyi & Shuqi

Note: Boyi and Shuqi were the eldest and youngest sons of Motai Chu,the king of Guzhu State in the late Shang Dynasty.The king of Guzhu State planned to pass on his throne to Shuqi.After his death, Shuqi resigned the sovereign authority to Boyi, but Boyi refused to accept and fled away.Shuqi also fled because he refused to succeed to the throne.The throne was finally inherited by Guzhu King's second son.After King Wu established the Zhou Dynasty, Boyi and Shuqi died of starvation in Shouyang Mountain because they did not eat millet provided by the Zhou Dynasty.

The main idea of the song is as follows: Go up to the West Mountain and pick common vetch seeds to eat.Replacing violence with violence, King Wu did not know what was right and what was wrong.Ancient outstanding persons Shen Nong, Yu, and Xia disappeared Ah.Where is the promised place I want to go? How sad we were when we were about to die, and it seemed to us that we were doomed.
