Buku's fled to Rong Di and the formulation of "Rule of virture" as core values

of Zhou civilization

The rise ofZhou ethnicity can be traced back to the later period of Five Emperors. The time when Buku, son of Houji, led to Rong Di should be around the usurpation of Xia-hou Qi. Since there is no detailed pedigree of pre-Zhou, some cholars agree that there was more than one person who hold the post of "Houji". By careful analysis of "During aotang, Yu, Xia, he was virtuous", it should mean the transition period of the three leaders---Tang Yao, Yu Shun, and Xia Yu , may not including Xia dynasty. Therefore the time of Buku's escape should be around the usurpation of Xia-hou Qi.

Houji, the ancestor of Zhou, started farming civilization, and Buku brought it to Rong Di (nowadays Qingyang of Gansu province). The farming civilization there was independent of the TangYu culture, and developed into pre-Zhou civilization gradually. Along with the King Wu's conquest ofYin, Shang Dynasty perished, and pre-Zhou civilization developed into Zhou civilization, which became the most important and infiuential civilization in Chinese ancient history. Zhou cultural tradition obviously inherited the pre-Zhou's, and tried to achieve the goal of "serving the people wholehearledly" under the system of "world for home", which was evolved into its culture system with the core of "rule of virtue". The pre-Zhou civilization and the Zhou civilization have a good connection with the core of modem civilization, showing universal value of human being. Under the guidance of the Zhou civilization, its culture system, social system, and economic system spotlight the importance of human rights, social justice, and social harmony, from which we can still learn a lot today.

不窋奔戎狄与德治作为周文化核心价值的形成

周民族的兴起，最早可以追溯到五帝的晚期，周先人后稷弃之子不窋，狄之间”的时间，应在夏后启篡权前后。《史记》所载先周世系不详，因此有人认为不窑之前，后稷的后代皆任“后稷”之官，后稷不只是后稷弃一人，可能是多代。仔细辩析“在陶唐、虞、夏之际，皆有令德”一句话，其意应该是指唐尧、虞舜、夏禹三位领导人交接的时间段，而不必一定包含“夏”朝。因此，不窋“奔戎、狄之间”的时期，应该确定在夏后启篡权前后。

周先祖后稷开始了农耕文明，不窋把农耕文明带到戎狄之间（今甘肃庆阳市境），脱离了唐虞文化的范围，而独立发展为先周文明。随着武王伐纣，商朝灭亡，先周文明顺利过渡为周文明，并成为中国古代文化史上最重要和最有影响力的文明。周朝的文化传统显然继承了先周文化传统，希望在“天下为家”的体制下，能实现“全心全意为人民服务”的宗旨，因此而有“德治”为核心的文化体系。也正因此，先周文化和周文化本身，与近代以来的人类文明成果的核心价值是联系在一起的，体现了人类普遍价值的观点。在周文明的核心价值观指导下，周代文明在文化制度、社会制度、经济制度等方面，都体现出了重视人权及社会公平和社会和谐的特征，这些制度，在今天，我们仍然需要发挥其生命力。
