Boyi and Shuqi
Boyi or Bo Yi () and his brother Shuqi or Shu Qi () were two brothers who lived in China at the time of the transition between the Shang dynasty and the Zhou dynasty. They are still remembered in Chinese literary culture for their personal and moral virtue, loyalty, and pacifist idealism.〔Wu, 249〕 Sometimes they are referred to together just as "Boyi".〔For example, see Mencius, ''Gong Sun Chou I'' (孟子《公孫丑上》)〕 They were natives of the state of Guzhu (in modern Hebei province, around the area of Tangshan). At the time, a vassal state of the Shang dynasty.
==Background==
Boyi and Shuqi lived during the reign of the last Shang ruler Di Xin, who at this point had become given over to drinking, women, sex, and a disdain for morals. His country was misruled, with high taxes, mass hunger, and arbitrary acts of violence and cruelty. Sima Qian provides lurid details of prolonged orgies of drunken sex and acts of violence and torture, during which he refused to heed the advice of his ministers. At the same time the leader of the Zhou clan, posthumously known as King Wen of Zhou, was preparing to replace the Shang dynasty with the rule of his own clan (the subsequent Zhou dynasty), though at the time they were a vassal state to Shang. In contrast to Shang, the leadership of Zhou was famous for its provision of food and protection for its subjects, in part due to their advances in agricultural techniques.
