Peng (state)
Dapeng or Great Peng (), also known simply as Peng, was a Chinese Bronze Age state that was centered at Xuzhou and Qiuwan (Tongshan District) in northern Jiangsu. First mentioned on oracle bones dating to the early 11th century BC, Dapeng was a contemporary of the late Shang dynasty, with whom it shared an ambiguous relationship. At times, the two polities were allies and trading partners, but at least on two occasions war broke out among them, eventually leading to Dapeng's destruction by King Di Xin of Shang around 1060 BC. History According to the Spring and Autumn period's '' Guoyu (Discourses of the States)'', the Han dynasty's ''Shiben (Genealogy)'', and the Tang dynasty's ''Kuodi Zhi (Record of Geography)'', Dapeng was founded by Peng Zu (lit. "Ancestor of Peng"), who was made marquis by the kings of the Shang dynasty. After his death, the state declined under his descendants. Due to the lack of contemporary written sources, it remains impossible to verify this information ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Peng (mythology)
Peng () or Dapeng () is a giant bird that transforms from a Kun () giant fish in Chinese mythology. Names The Chinese logograms for ''peng'' and ''kun'' exemplify common radical-phonetic characters. ''Peng'' (鵬) combines the "bird radical" ( 鳥) with a ''peng'' ( 朋 "friend") phonetic, and ''kun'' combines the "fish radical" ( 魚) with a ''kun'' ( 昆 "progeny; insect") phonetic. Both the mythic Chinese ''Peng'' and ''Kun'' names involve word play. ''Peng'' ( 鵬) was anciently a variant Chinese character for ''feng'' ( 鳳) in ''fenghuang'' (鳳凰 "Chinese phoenix" ca. 100 CE ''Shuowen Jiezi''); ''Kun'' 鯤 originally meant "fish roe; fry; spawn" (ca. 200 BCE '' Erya''). Synonyms of Peng include Dapeng (大鵬 "Big Peng", "Great Peng") and Dapengniao (大鵬鳥 "Great Peng Bird"). Dapeng is also a place name for a few places in greater China, most notably in Shenzhen and Taiwan. After recent fossil discoveries in northeast China, Chinese paleontologists used Peng to na ...
