Asshole, what's up?

Khan, there have been various opinions about the origin of the name "turtle" in the past. turtle

The tortoise was not used to "criticize mulberry" from the beginning, but it had a long glorious period and was loved by people. Before Qin and Han Dynasties, turtles were always regarded as "spiritual objects" or "auspicious objects". People refer to turtles, dragons, phoenixes and forests as "Four Spirits" (see Li Yun). In the Yin and Shang Dynasties, people burned tortoise shells as a good omen, and the texture of the burnt tortoise shells was called "tortoise omen" (Zuo Zhuan Zhao Gong Five Years: "tortoise omen is auspicious"); From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the mid-Tang Dynasty, people no longer regarded turtles as "spiritual things", but as precious things. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty, people's worship of turtles reached the extreme. During this period, many people's names also had tortoise characters, such as court musicians Li Guinian, Wang Gui and Lu Guimeng. In the second year of divine providence, Wu Zetian stipulated that all officials with more than five items should wear a turtle-shaped purse, named "turtle bag", decorated with gold, silver and copper to distinguish the level of officials (see "New Tang Book Car"). It was not until the late Tang Dynasty that turtles were gradually used to curse people. Biography of Qiuci in Historical Records said: "Those who can name turtles will return their property, and their wealth will reach tens of millions. 1. Beidou turtle, 2. Chen Nan turtle, 3-5 star turtle, 4-8 phoenix turtle, 5-28 night turtle, 6-moon turtle, 7-9 continent turtle, 8-jade turtle. " The folk taboo "turtle" refers to the tortoise. Because "tortoise" is another name for tortoise. In ancient times, turtles were worshipped very much, no matter their names or historical materials. During the Tianshun period of the Ming Dynasty, Li Dongyang, a scholar, a great poet, a scholar in Gaihuatang and a scholar in Shangshu, once described the tortoise carrying the tablet as the "dam" of the Dragon Six sons. For example, in Yong Xi Yue Fu compiled by Guo Xun in the Ming Dynasty, there is a poem "The preface to swimming and breaking laurel", which connects "turtle" with "turtle" and refers to the same kind of people: "The waist of shrimp, the generation of turtle, jade chain can not be tied with incense; A turtle cover with high ridge, thin twist and green fur. " It can be seen that the so-called "turtle" refers to the tortoise, which is an alias of the tortoise. Since tortoise is also commonly known as tortoise, people will inevitably avoid calling tortoise at the same time.

Edit this section of Xuanwu

Turtles had a high status in ancient times and were regarded as spiritual beasts, that is, Xuanwu. turtle

Xuanwu is a spiritual thing composed of turtles and snakes. Xuanwu originally meant Xuanming, and the ancient sounds of Wu and Ming are interlinked. Xuan means black; Ghost means yin. At first, Xuan Ming described the tortoise's divination as follows: the tortoise's back is black, and the tortoise's divination is to invite the tortoise to the underworld to ask questions, bring back the answers and show them to the world in the form of divination. Therefore, the earliest Xuanwu is the tortoise.

You turtle and I turtle.

Because the tortoise is so beautiful, people in China want to be associated with it when they flatter it. So, everyone is blaming you and me. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were Gongzi left and right turtles in the Song Dynasty, Chu Dou Wei turtles, Jing Chen turtles in the Han Dynasty, Zhu turtles in Youzhou secretariat, and Liu turtles in Cao Wei Zhengdian. Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty took "God turtle" as the year number (AD 51819). During the reign of Xiaochang (A.D. 52526), a minister scolded the turtle. During the Zhengshi period (240-248), supervised turtles, those from the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty, those from Guinian, Cuicong turtles, Wang Gui turtles, Liu Chong turtles, Li Quangui turtles, Lepeng turtles, Xue Yuangui, Xie Lv Li Guinian, Jinshi Zhang Rengui, Chu Lv Guimeng, Taoist Xie yuan gui and Bai Juyi called their nephews turtles. Five Dynasties ago, there were some in Shu. In Song Dynasty, the father's name was Guitu, and the younger brother's name was Gui Xiang, that is, his grandfather, He's son's name was Gui Ling, and his grandfather's name was Cong Gui, the word turtle of Wang Dabao. There are also Yuan Wailang's Dong Guizheng and Gui Cong, his son Chen Xiangming's Scarab, Gui Xuan, Yang Guishan, Huang Guinian's Qin Ding Shang Shu, Peng Guinian, his turtle father Peng Guinian, He Dui's scholar named, Gong Kaiguicheng, Shen's Gui Xi, Wang's Gui Ling and Lu You's Gui Tang Disease.

Unexpectedly, although the tortoise was beautiful all the way, unfortunately, it was slowly made into rumors, and it was the book Shuowen that collected rumors. Xu Shen (about 58- 147), the author of Shuowen, was born in Yancheng, Henan. He was an ancient writer in Han Dynasty, famous for his extensive reading, and everyone was convinced that he was "unparalleled in the Five Classics". Xu Shen completed a book "Shuo Wen" around 100. This book was originally a book about fighting pens, which was used to refute the saying that today's writers interpret classics. Unexpectedly, the arrangement of Chinese characters in the book shows another meaning. Since then, it has become the first dictionary compiled by radicals in China. Giant turtle

Shuowen is divided into 540 articles with 9353 words. It has determined the form of Chinese dictionaries for two thousand years, and has also made the most influential contribution in philology and semantics. The focus of Xu Shen's book is to explain why a word should be written like this. He wants to find out the original meaning of each word, and then explain why he wrote it according to the original meaning. In this way, this book contains many figures from Xiao Zhuan and the late Zhou Dynasty, which enables us to trace back to the source and solve many problems in entering the classics. (Shuowen is Shuowen Jiezi, and its true value was not recognized until the Qing Dynasty. ) Under the note "turtle" in Shuowen, there is such an authoritative explanation: turtle is old. Those who have flesh outside the bones are also. From it (snake). The glans penis is the same as its (snake head). The nature of heaven and earth, broad shoulders without male, turtles, take it (snake) as male. That is to say, there is no male turtle (Liezi said it is a "pure mother"), and if you want to have a baby turtle, you have to mate with a snake. Because of this, the "glans penis" and "snakehead" look the same. "Ya Ya" said: "There is no male with broad shoulders, and the snake is a horse, so the tortoise and the snake are combined, which is called Xuanwu." Xuanwu refers to the tortoise and snake, and later became the "God of the North", ranking second only to the Jade Emperor. The forty-eighth issue of Folk Custom contains Chaozhou Children's Songs, the original text of which is: "The basin is covered with water (covered with water, but also stored with water), which is clear and complete. I saw Grandpa Bei (God is also mysterious) in the back seat, riding (riding, holding) a sword, with a shawl on his head and a turtle and snake under his feet. " This is the personification of Xuanwu. There is a story about Yao Zun talking about the Northern Wuqi Classic in the early Yuan Dynasty in the orthodox Taoist Classic "The True Part of the Cave", which clearly states that this anthropomorphic shape is that turtles and snakes belong to the same group, so it can be seen that turtles and snakes have long been recognized by China people. Unfortunately, the ecology of China people is not very good. Since ancient times, people in China have not clearly observed turtles. China people think that the tortoise is "ungodly", which is completely wrong. This mistake is recorded in Shuowen, so the turtle can't hand it in. While others make friends with snakes. Since our family does not engage in our own family, our family actually raped a snake outside, so what is there to say about being a "hero-less" on the one hand? "
