Fuxi's legendary story

Fuxi is one of the pioneers of Chinese humanism and Huang San, and also the god who bless Nu Wa. Chu Silk Book recorded it as the creator, and it is the earliest recorded creator in China. What kind of legend is Fuxi's legend? This article is the information about the legendary story of Fuxi compiled by me, for reference only.

Legends, stories and myths of Fuxi's opening of heaven

According to ancient books, one painting by Fuxi imitates Tai Chi, and the other opens the sky. The creation of everything in the world and the birth of life in the world depend on this painting. [ 18]

Those who have the so-called heavenly roots, with their chaotic world, are dark and dull, and suddenly open the sky, while the movements of Yin and Yang overlap as ups and downs, the positioning of heaven and earth, the movement of the sun and the moon, and all things are endless.

When Fuxi painted the sky, didn't he use a quasi-Tai Chi? So every divination, from then on, is it the image of Tai Chi? [ 19]

Those who protect the world, those who are rich, all know the Book of Changes, creating the world and opening up the humanities.

What is Lu You's evaluation of Fuxi Tian Kai? Unexplained chisel broke the secret of Gan Kun, starting with the painting of Emperor Xi? . [20]

Creation myth

Fuxi is the earliest god of creation recorded in our country, which is recorded in the Book of Chu Silk. [7]

Changsha Chu silk script was unearthed in a Chu tomb in Wangjiazu Mountain, an ammunition depot in the eastern suburb of Changsha. It is the earliest and most complete record of pre-Qin creation myth unearthed in China. In the existing pre-Qin handed down documents and unearthed documents in China, there is no more complete and clear creation myth, and its preciousness is self-evident.

Interpretation of the first Chu silk book

It is said that the (ancient) Great Bear Baoxi (Fuxi) came from □ (earthquake) □ ④ and lived in Suiwu □. Sleep □, female. MengMeng ink (1), Zhang Wu ge (2). □ Every (dark) water□ ③, wind and rain ④. It is to take (marry) □□□□□ the son of a son, to marry a daughter □ (um) □⑤, and to have a baby. -this is-⑦, which is the method of-(degree) ⑧. For Yu, it is a contract, for Yu, for Yu, for Yu [1 1]. It is the upper and lower me (Teng) to connect (turn) [12], and the Shanling Pi Shu [13]. It is the fate of the mountains and rivers, and □ (smoked, yang) is full of qi (soul, yin), thinking that it is sparse, so as to involve mountains, mountains, benefits and completeness. Without the sun and the moon, the four gods contend with each other, but they think they are old, but it is only four o'clock (2): the dragon is green, the second is Zhu Sidan, the third is a hundred, and the fourth is not dry.

Thousands of years old, born in the sun and the moon, Kyushu Ping, Shanling Bei. The four gods were made. As for the cover (canopy), Tiandong ⑦ covers the essence of Aoki, Akagi, Huang Mu, Mu Bai and Mo Mu ⑧. Emperor Yan ordered Zhu Rong to drop the four gods and drink for three days, thinking about □ (protecting) ⑨ and drinking four poles. If it is not nine days, it will be big □ (□) ⑩, and he dare not despise the heavenly spirit [1 1]. Emperor□ is a trip to the sun and the moon [65438+].

* * * attack (work) □ step at four o'clock on the 10th, □ God jumps two, four □ don't think, the storm of the gods, and Chen Yi misbehaves, which is the sun and the moon, thinking about each other, and it is sunset.

According to the above explanation, the general idea is as follows:

When the world was in chaos before the formation of heaven and earth, Fuxi married Queen Er Shen and gave birth to four sons. These four sons later became the four gods representing the four seasons. The four gods created the world because they knew the law of yin and yang. Yu Yu and

Qi manages the earth, formulates the calendar, makes the stars rise and fall orderly, makes the mountains and tombs smooth, and makes the yin and yang between the mountains and rivers ventilate. At that time, there was no sun and moon, and the four gods took turns to represent four points. The eldest of the four gods is called Qinggan, the second is called Zhu Sidan, the third is called White War, and the fourth is called Mogan.

1000 years later, the emperor gave birth to the sun and the moon. From then on, Kyushu was peaceful and Shan Ye was peaceful. The four gods also built a canopy to make it rotate and reinforced it with colored wood essence. Emperor Yan sent Zhu Rong to lay the foundation of four gods, three days and four poles. People worship for nine days, seeking peace, and dare not despise gods. Emperor □ then formulated the operating rules of the sun and the moon.

Later, * * * Gong made ten dry and leap months and made a more accurate calendar. A night is divided into clouds, morning, day and night.

Chu Silk Book preserved the creation myth of the Chinese nation for future generations, and it is the only complete creation myth in the pre-Qin period that we can see today. What's even more rare is that compared with the creation myths circulated by various ethnic groups in modern China, it retains more ancient traces of prehistoric myths and the characteristics of primitive thinking, is richer in the inherent characteristics of Chinese civilization and has the regional characteristics of Chu culture.

Eight diagrams ancestor

Legend has it that Fuxi is regarded as a god and the founder of gossip because he created it. In ancient times, people knew nothing about nature. The weather will change, the sun and moon will move, and people will live and die. No one knows what all these phenomena are about. When people encounter unanswerable questions, they all ask Fuxi. When Fuxi couldn't answer them, he felt at a loss, so people lived in fear every day. Fuxi often looks around, trying to figure out how the sun, the moon and the sky change, and guessing the changing law of the earth's cold and hot, flowers and flowers falling. He saw the dense yarrow in the Central Plains and began to use yarrow to predict people.

One day, Fuxi fished by Cai River and caught a white turtle. He quickly dug a big pool and raised the white turtle. One day, Fuxi was putting food in the white turtle pond. Someone said that there were monsters in the Cai River. When I came to Cai River, I saw that the monster said that dragons were not like dragons and horses were not like horses, walking up and down on the water. When Fuxi was near the water, the monster came to Fuxi and stood there motionless. When Fuxi looked carefully, he saw that there were patterns on the monster's back: bottom 16, top 27, left 38, right 49 and middle 50. Fuxi cut a stalk of yarrow and drew it on a big leaf according to the pattern on the dragon's back. Hardly had he finished painting when the dragon jumped into the air with a loud cry and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Everyone asked around Fuxi: What kind of monster is Fuxi? xi said: Just like dragons and horses. Let's call it a dragon horse. ?

Fuxi took the leaf and pondered the pattern on it, but he couldn't figure out the mystery. On this day, he was sitting at the edge of the white turtle pond, thinking, when he suddenly heard the rapid flow of water. When he looked intently, the white sea turtle swam to him from the bottom of the water, with sparkling eyes, and then nodded to him three times. He put his head into his stomach and lay quietly by the water. He looked at the white turtle intently. Gradually, he found that there were five patterns in the middle of the white turtle shell cover, eight in the periphery, twelve in the outer circle and twenty-four in the outermost circle. His heart suddenly lit up, and he realized that the changing law of everything in heaven and earth was only yin and yang. Fuxi painted eight different patterns, namely eight diagrams. [2 1]

Brother and sister got married.

According to myths and legends, when the universe first opened, Nu Wa and Fuxi lived in Kunlun Mountain, and they lived alone. They were ashamed of getting married, so they entrusted their fate to heaven and decided to use divination to decide. They each lit a bonfire and made a big wish, saying: If God doesn't let mankind die out, let my brother and sister get married and let the smoke from two fires merge into one; If you don't agree to our marriage, let the smoke of two fires separate. ? When two thick clouds are intertwined, two people begin to have sex in order to breed human beings. Fuxi took a fan made of straw and covered their faces when they made love. [23]

Fuxi's life experience was born mysteriously.

There was a country in ancient Hua Xu called? Hua Xushi? My girl went to a place called Razer to play. She accidentally saw a huge footprint and stepped on it curiously, so she got pregnant and gave birth to a son after 12 years of pregnancy. This son has a snake head named Fuxi. [4] Fuxi's birthday is March 18. On March 18th of the lunar calendar, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to Fuxi in the Central Plains. [5-6]

Note: Fuxi Nuwa first appeared in pre-Qin literature, and Hua Xushi appeared in later literature. Therefore, whether Fuxi Nuwa belongs to Hua Xushi's children is still controversial in academic circles. It is generally believed that Hua Xushi's children belong to Fuxi Nuwa. Fuxi Nuwa? Man's attribute is higher than that of God, and Fuxi Nuwa in Chu Silk Book is the god of creation, the earliest creature born, and has nothing to do with Hua Xushi and Thor. [7]

Human ancestors

Fuxi has a sacred virtue, which unites and unifies all tribes in China, sets its capital in Chen Di and worships Zen Buddhism.

Mountain [8]. Fuxi took the body of a python, the head of a crocodile, the horn of a stag, the eye of a tiger, the scales of a red carp, the legs of a giant lizard, the claws of an eagle, the tail of a white shark and the whiskers of a fin whale, and founded the totem dragon of the Chinese nation, from which the descendants of dragons came. [9]

Fuxi looked up at the clouds, rain, snow, thunder and lightning in the sky, the strong wind and fog on the ground, and observed the birds and animals. According to the theory of the change of Yin and Yang in heaven and earth, he created Eight Diagrams, which summarized all things in heaven and earth with eight simple but profound symbols. He imitates spiders in nature, weaving nets to fish and hunt. He also created a writing method instead of tying a knot on a rope.

Fuxi formulated the marriage system of human beings, implemented the binary system of men and women, and used deerskin as dowry. And take the animals they raise as surnames, or take plants, residences and official positions as surnames, so as to prevent promiscuity and consanguineous marriage, and make the surnames of China people originate and continue to this day.

Yu's ancestors said:? Fuxi is pure and honest, writing gossip of Yi. ? Affirmed Fuxi's historical position. In the past century, with the progress of archaeology and ancient tribe research, the academic circles have a new understanding of the origin of Chinese civilization. It is generally believed that the early blood of the Chinese nation came from Huaxia, Dongyi and Miaoman, and it became the main blood of the Chinese nation during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Yan Di and Huangdi are representatives of the Chinese nation, and Fuxi is the ancestor of all ethnic groups. In contemporary society, the Han nationality and many ethnic minorities still retain Fuxi's creation myth and the custom of offering sacrifices to Fuxi. Fu Wei? Great wisdom? As a historical symbol of the unity and cooperation of all ethnic groups and the pursuit of survival and development, Chinese thinkers and inventors have played an inestimable role in the progress and development of Chinese civilization.
