What does the pattern on the flag of the German fascist army mean during World War II?

(wàn sound): an auspicious symbol of ancient Indian religion. Showing golden light, Tathagata has ten thousand words on his chest. Wu Zetian of Tang Dynasty in China set the tone as "Wan". It means "a collection of auspicious virtues". In Buddhist scriptures, it is also written as "ho".

"Ba" is the mantra of many ancient tribes, which appeared in the history of ancient India, Persia, Greece, Egypt, Troy and other countries, and was later adopted by some ancient religions. At first, people regarded it as a symbol of the sun or fire, and later people generally regarded it as an auspicious symbol. With the spread of ancient Indian Buddhism, the word "Wan Zi" was also introduced into China. In Sanskrit, this word is pronounced as "full room is beneficial to time", which means "auspicious sea clouds", that is, auspicious symbols presented between the sea and the sky. Painted on the Buddha's chest, it is regarded as "auspicious" by Buddhists and can emit precious light. "its light is swaying, and there are thousands of things."

Buddhist translation of the word "Wan" in China is also inconsistent. A classic book in the Northern Wei Dynasty translated it into the word "Wan". In the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang and others translated it into the word "virtue", emphasizing the infinite merits of the Buddha. The female emperor Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty named it "Wan", which means to combine the good fortune and merits of the world.

There are two ways to write "Wan Zi", one is right-handed and the other is left-handed ("Wan Zi"). Most Buddhists believe that the rotation of the right hand should prevail, because it is auspicious for Buddhism, and all kinds of Buddhist ceremonies held by Buddhists are carried out with the right hand.

This is one of the symbols of China's cultural wisdom. From the Book of Changes, rudder and rudder are used together. The pronunciation of "Wan" is "Tongtai" and "Abundance". The pronunciation of ... is? "Fu", auspiciousness and virtue.

China's Zen Buddhism also uses this symbol. "Hua Yan Jing" 65 involves legal circles: "Chest mark? Ten thousand words, seven places are full. " ? "Huayi" was written by Huiyuan in Tang Dynasty: "This is not a word, and Zhou Changshou is two years old. The right to make this article famous is called the collection of Jide. "

This mysterious symbol, regarded by Buddhists as auspicious and meritorious, was used by Hitler, the leader of German fascism, as his symbol of party flag. Of course this has nothing to do with Buddhism. Party flag designed by Hitler himself, with white characters on a red background and black Nazi party emblem embedded in the middle. Hitler was very satisfied with their design and thought that "this is a real symbol".

In his book Mein Kampf, Hitler said: "Red symbolizes the social significance of our movement, and white symbolizes nationalist thought. This word symbolizes the mission of winning the Aryans. " Later, Hitler also designed swastika armbands and swastika symbols for his stormtroopers and party member.

Hitler chose "the swastika" as the symbol for several reasons. ?

One said it was designed after the name of the Nazi Party. Nazi Party means "National Socialist Party". In German, the prefixes of "country" and "society" are both "S", and the two prefixes overlap and form the shape of "swastika". However, the Buddhist "Ai" is gold, while the Nazi "Ai" is black.

Another way of saying it is that American scholar Robert? Payne suggested it. Payne believes that Hitler had a strong desire to worship authority and pursue power since he was a child. When he was a child, there was an old monastery near his home. The corridors of the monastery, the stone wells, the monks' seats and the sleeves of the dean's coat are all decorated with swastikas. Hitler worships the power of the dean, and thinks that "swish" is a symbol of the authority of the dean. He hopes that one day he can have supreme authority like the dean. Payne believes that this is why he later chose the word "Zi" as the symbol of party flag.

There is also a saying that Hitler was influenced by an anti-Semitic organization called the New Knights Templar. This organization believes that Aryans are the best people, and only by maintaining their pure blood can the world have hope. This is consistent with Hitler's view. The founder of this organization is a missionary and astrologer. He divined for Hitler and predicted that he would become a person who would shock the world in the future. Hitler was very excited when he heard these words. The symbol of this organization is "Wan Zi". So he chose this symbol when he later designed party flag.

Some people think that the Chinese character "Qu" was first born in India and Europe, and was introduced to China with the eastward movement of Buddhism in the 4th century, so it is an "exotic product". Others believe that the character "Qu" originated from the Qiang people in ancient China.

Archaeological data show that as early as 6000-7000 years ago, the word "Bao" appeared on pottery made by ancestors in Gansu and Qinghai, which shows that the word "Bao" is a symbol with a long history. For example, painted pottery in Liuwan, Ledu, Qinghai also has the word "Zi", and Neolithic sites in Guangdong and Inner Mongolia also have similar symbols. Buddhism was not introduced into China until the 4th century, that is, the Eastern Han Dynasty. In recent years, some ancient rock paintings have been discovered in Tibet and Qinghai. In addition to animals, the sun and auspicious pictures, there is also the word "swastika" (such as the evolution sequence diagram of Japanese soil rock paintings found in Aritu County, Tibet). Since 1950s, a large number of paleolithic tools have been found in Tibet and its marginal areas. It is estimated that human beings settled on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at least 50,000 years ago.
