What is the invention of the prime minister of the Shang Dynasty to keep the cold out, and why did it make women swoon, animals suffer, and the prime minister end up getting his heart ripped out?

When it comes to the prime minister of the Shang Dynasty who had his heart ripped out, we will rightly think of Bigan. Bi Gan had invented something, that is, fur, is not it very unexpected? In fact, as early as the end of the Shang Dynasty, more than 3,000 years ago, China's traditional fur-making process was formed, and Bi Gan was the first person in Chinese history to invent the process of making fur from cooked leather.

People made fur clothing by ripening the fur of animals, and made a gorgeous fox fur coat, so the north has always been used to call "fur", and Bikan was also regarded as So why did Bi Gan invent the process of making fur from cooked skin?

Legend has it that Bi Gan was an official in the area of Daying. At that time, the area around Danying was deserted, full of thorns and thistles, and was infested with wild animals, which made it difficult for the people to live. So Bi Gan put out a notice encouraging the people to kill the beasts, the meat can be eaten, but the skin can not be eaten, what to do? So Bi Gan came up with a way to collect the leftover animal skins and soak them repeatedly to make the raw and hard skins become soft.

And then according to its different, the animal skin will be sorted and sewn into clothes, which is the original fur clothing. After the fur clothes were made, he was surprised to find that they were extremely cold-resistant, so he taught this skill to the townships, and the people were no longer cold.

Later, Bi Gan became an official in the imperial court, and he was very vocal in his advice, and he also advocated the reduction of taxes and levies, encouraged the development of agricultural and animal husbandry production, advocated smelting and casting, and enriched the country and strengthened the army, which made him very popular among the people. After King Zhou's lawlessness, in the Bikan advised King Zhou not to build the building, even to "I heard that the saints have seven holes in the heart of the letter have all of them?" and dig his heart. This is the first time I've ever seen a king with a heart of seven orifices in his chest. This incident was spread to the people, the people were touched by Bikan's loyalty, but also more hate King Zhou's tyranny and lawlessness. Therefore, they built a temple to worship Bikan, which was called "Qiu Zu".
