Fu's personality characteristics

Fuxi is the legendary ancestor of human civilization, and is known as the head of "Huang San".

According to legend, his mother's name is Hua Xushi, and she is a very beautiful woman. One day, she went to Leize for an outing and found a big footprint on the road. Out of curiosity, she put her foot on the big footprint, and now she feels entangled in a snake, so she is pregnant. Surprisingly, this pregnancy has been 12 years. Then I gave birth to a baby with a head and a snake body. This is Fuxi. To commemorate the birth of Fuxi, the local people changed the place name to Ji Cheng, because in ancient times, people regarded twelve years as a century. According to historians, ancient Ji Cheng is today's Tianshui. Hanshu said: "Ji Cheng belongs to Hanyang County, and Hanyang County also belongs to Tianshui County. The place where the ancient emperor Fu was born. Therefore, Tianshui has always been called "the hometown of Huang Xi".

According to legends and historical records, as the ancestor of human civilization, Fuxi's main achievements are as follows: First, he taught people to make nets for fishing and hunting, which greatly improved human productivity at that time. At the same time, teaching people to domesticate wild animals is the origin of domestic animals. Second, change the marriage custom, advocate the marriage custom etiquette that men hire women to marry, and change the consanguineous marriage to the marriage outside the family, ending the primitive group marriage state that children only know their father for a long time. Third, the original book contract is used to take notes, replacing the backward form of knotting notes in the past. Invent pottery, harp and other musical instruments, create music and ballads, bring music into people's lives, and help people "cultivate self-cultivation and rationality, and be innocent". Fifth, divide and rule its ruling areas, appoint officials to manage the society, and provide reference for future generations to manage the society. Sixth, create an ancient calendar.

However, Fuxi's greatest achievement is to create gossip.

In the west of Weinan Township, Maiji District of Tianshui (formerly known as Beidao District), there is a Guatai Mountain, which is said to be the place where Fuxi painted gossip. Legend has it that in the ancient times when Fuxi lived, people knew nothing about nature. When it rains, it is windy, lightning and thunder, and people are both afraid and confused. Fu, who is naturally intelligent, wants to make all this clear, so he often stands on Guatai Mountain, looking up at the sun, moon and stars in the sky, overlooking the surrounding terrain, and sometimes studying the footprints and patterns of birds and animals.

One day, he came to Guatai Mountain again, thinking hard about the phenomenon he had observed for a long time. Suddenly, he heard a strange cry and saw a dragon horse jump out of the cave opposite Guatai Mountain. It is called a dragon horse because this animal has a dragon head with a strange pattern on it. The dragon horse jumped onto a big stone in the Weishui River at the foot of Guatai Mountain. This Tai Chi-like stone, combined with the design of the dragon horse, suddenly made Fuxi realize something, so he drew gossip.

Later, the cave that jumped out of Longma was called Longma Cave, and the big stone in Weishui River was called distraction stone. Now go to Guatai Mountain, and you can still see these places. In addition, there are remains of stone troughs and stone beds in Malone Cave.

As for the desirability of gossip, it lies in its profound cultural connotation. Fuxi culture characterized by it still attracts countless scholars at home and abroad to explore and study. Moreover, many contemporary disciplines are also deeply influenced by it and get inspiration from it. It is said that Leibniz, a great German mathematician, invented binary system, which was also inspired by gossip.

It is possible that Mi, Dong, Bao, Fu, that is, the emperor, Huang and Tai Hao are all tribal leaders from Fu. They live in different times, but they have the same status, and they can all be called "Fuxi" (because they all come from Fu tribes).

Tracing back to the source of Fuxi legend, there are two paths, besides looking for its trace from the ancient handed down literature mentioned above, there is also a path, that is, myth and folklore.

The most authoritative textual research on Fuxi by neighbors is Fuxi Kao written by Wen Yiduo, a senior scholar [1]. In the first half of this paper, Wen Yiduo collected a large number of dragon and snake records from handed down documents, and together with the bricks and stones of Han Dynasty portraits found at that time, it proved that Fuxi was a dragon totem; In the second half, the ethnic minorities in southwest China collected nearly 50 stories and folk information about the marriage of Fuxi Nuwa's brother and sister after the flood, and made phonetic exegesis on them, which proved that Fuxi was the ancestor of Miao and Manchu in the south. This article was widely quoted in the next half century and became a difficult theory. However, some people have been skeptical recently. Lin Sheng believes that the legend of Fuxi was not introduced by the descendants of the ancient Miao nationality. The legend of brother and sister getting married after the flood of southern minorities originated from Pangu recorded in Ying Shao's Custom Yi Tong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Fuxi and Nu Wa were not related to each other, and they became a family after Tang Kaiyuan [2]. Chang Jincang believes that Wen Yiduo started his argument from the political purpose of "uniting the Chinese nation to defend against the enemy" during the Anti-Japanese War, replacing academics with politics and attaching folklore to western totem theory and anthropological theory. There is no good basis for the creation of Fuxi Nuwa [3]. Both of them questioned Fuxi's identity as the creator and ancestor of the southern nationalities.

On the balance of heaven: "The proponent of Yi said:' The vitality is not divided, and chaos is one. Shuowen explains "one" and says: "It begins with Tai Chi and the Tao stands in one. Create a world and turn it into everything. " Liezi Tian Rui: "If the husband is tangible and he is born invisible, then the world will be safe." ? So, it's too easy, too early, too early, and Tai Su. Too easy, no gas; Too early, the beginning of qi is also; The beginning is the beginning of form; Tai Su is the beginning of quality. The air quality is not divided, so it is called turbidity. Muddy people say that everything is muddy and there is no separation. If you can't see, hear or keep up, it will be easy. "Without gas, it is too easy. The gas starts too early, the shape starts too early, and the quality begins with Tai Su. The state in which qi, shape and quality are integrated without separation is called chaos. This chaotic thing is vitality, and the inseparable state of vitality is Taiji.

The so-called "Taiyi" of Taiyi holy water, the so-called "Tao" of Laozi and the so-called "Taiji" of Zhouyi are all chaotic and invisible vitality at the beginning of the universe. Huainanzi Astronomy: "The universe is full of vitality." Huainanzi Yan Quan: "The point is the same as heaven and earth, chaotic and simple. Anyone who does not build it is called Taiyi. " Henkel seduced: "Taiyi, Yuan God is the master of all things." The "yuan god" of all things should be
