在史书和文学作品中,商纣王荒淫残暴,终致国破家亡、身首异处。然而,纣王之荒淫残暴为当时阶级之共性而非其个性,其负面形象是后世史家加工的结果。他在位期间,反对神权,强化王权。却因刚愎自用的个性、军事战略的失当和社会矛盾的积聚,酿成悲剧。 In the history books and literary works, the merchant king wreaks brutal cruelty, and eventually leads the country to break his or her home and death. However, the cruelty of the king’s death was the commonality of the class at that time rather than his individual character. The negative image of his death was the result of the processing of later historians. During his reign, he opposed theocracy and strengthened the monarchy. However, they have become tragedies because of their own personality, the mismanagement of military strategy and the accumulation of social contradictions.
