What kind of person was Di Xin in history?
Di Xin's talent is smart, he is very sensitive to smells, and he is very talented. He has the ability to drag down nine cows and caress Liang, thus winning the favor of his father, Di. After Di Xin succeeded to the throne, he attached great importance to territorial expansion, sent troops to attack Dongyi tribe, and extended China's territorial influence to the Jianghuai area, while its territory was extended to the coastal areas of Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. BC 1046, the battle of Makino, Zhou Wuwang defeated the Shang army, Di Xin set himself on fire in Lutai (now Hebi, Henan), and the Shang Dynasty perished. Later generations have different views on it.
Mao Zedong once said of Shang Zhouwang: "In fact, Zhou Wang is a very capable person. He governed the southeast, consolidated the unity of Dongyi and the Central Plains, and made meritorious deeds in history. Di Xin conquered Xuzhou and won the battle, but suffered great losses. There are too many prisoners to digest. Zhou Wuwang used virtual attacks, and a large number of prisoners defected. As a result, the Shang Dynasty perished. "
