《孟子·离娄下》称舜为东夷人,结合众多证据来看,这点无可置疑。东夷一词源自西周金文,是周公、成王东征时对海岱地区诸方国、部落的总称,今山东省境为东夷起源的地区,也是夏、商时东方诸夷的核心地区,后世遂多以东夷来指代中国上古至商周时代的山东地区的人群。 “Mencius from Lou,” said Shun as Dongyi people, combined with many evidence, this is beyond doubt. The word Dongyi originates from the Jin and Jin Dynasties in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is the general term for Zhu Fangguo and tribes in the Haidai area during the Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. At present, Shandong Province is the origin of Dongyi. It is also the core area of ​​the East during the Xia and Shang Dynasties. Later generations were mostly to Dong Yi to refer to the ancient Chinese to Shang and Zhou dynasties in Shandong province.
