Biography
Da Ji was the favorite consort of King Zhou of Shang, the last king of the Shang dynasty in ancient China. She is portrayed as a malevolent fox spirit in legends as well as novels, though some Chinese historical books and records simply depict her as an exceptionally beautiful human woman (and attribute King Zhou with acts of cruelty associated with her). Her identification as a fox spirit seems to have originated from at least the Tang dynasty. These accounts have been popularized in works such as the Wu Wang Fa Zhou Pinghua, the Fengshen Yanyi, and the Lieguo Zhi. She is considered a classic example of how a beautiful woman can cause the downfall of a dynasty in Chinese culture. It's said that Daji's beauty caused King Zhou to become so infatuated with her that he started neglecting state affairs to be with her and would order embarrassing activities (e.g. nude hide-and-seek games in the Forest of Meat) and executions to make her amused/happy. She was said to have laughed at them.
