Introduction to the Lingtai ancestor worship service: In the earliest collection of poems in my country, "The Book of Songs Daya Huang", there are "The secret people are disrespectful and dare to resist the big country and invade the Ruan and rent the common people", "After passing the Shilingtai, I will run it. The common people attack it, and it will be completed soon..." and other descriptions. The exquisite murals on the spiritual platform that reflect King Wen's excavation of secrets and the construction of the spiritual platform to worship heaven have restored for us today the majestic scene of the "spiritual platform to worship heaven". During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Mixu Kingdom, located in present-day Lingtai, continued to maintain a strong suzerainty relationship with the yet-to-be-extinct Shang Dynasty. It not only refused to annex the Zhou Dynasty, but also often caused troubles, intruded nearby Fang countries, and hindered the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty with other Fang countries. alliance. This is undoubtedly an obstacle that must be eliminated in the Zhou people's strategic plan to destroy the merchants. In the first month of the third year after King Wen of Zhou was appointed (1057 BC), he reorganized his troops and marched westward, annihilating the Mi Xu Kingdom in one fell swoop. After defeating the Mi Xu Kingdom, on his way back to Xiqi, he passed through the foothills of Jingshan Mountain (today's Lingtai County). ), broke the Shang Dynasty's rule that only the emperor could offer sacrifices to heaven, built a platform and an altar here, and held a very grand "military ceremony" sacrifice to worship heaven, show virtue, serve the people and swear an oath, and opened the door to the Shang Dynasty. The prelude to the halberd is the "Lingtai Sacrifice to Heaven".
