Introduction to the content and characteristics of China myth

Is the ancestor of the Chinese nation's humanities. It lived in the early Neolithic Age and is said to be one of the founders of China medicine.

According to legend, he was the first snake, married his sister Nuwa, gave birth to a child and became the ancestor of mankind. Others say that he was an outstanding leader of ancient tribes in China. Fuxi created the Eight Diagrams according to the theory of the change of Yin and Yang between heaven and earth, that is, eight simple but profound symbols were used to summarize everything in heaven and earth. In addition, he also imitated spiders in nature to make nets for fishing and hunting. Records about the Fuxi family of Taihao are common in ancient books, but there are different opinions.

Xi R.

Xi He is the wife of the earliest god in ancient mythology and the goddess who gave birth to the sun (see Shan Hai Jing Huang Da Nan Jing). Due to the change of pronunciation, they are divided into God's wife and Goddess Chang (see Wild South Classic and Wild West Classic). E Huang evolved into a shun wife (see Dead Son and Biography of Lienv); Chang 'e Xi is Chang 'e (see "The West Chamber"), became a wife, and finally flew back to the Moon Palace to be Chang 'e (see "Huai Nan Zi Lan Mingxun"). With the emergence of matriarchal society, xi He changed from the goddess who gave birth to the sun to the sun itself and became the driver of the sun (Li See Sao, et al. ). When the myth fell into history, the two goddesses, He Hechang, changed from the mother of the sun and the moon to the two male officials, He Hechang, who were in charge of the sun and the moon under the Yellow Emperor (see The Spring and Autumn Period of the State of Lu Don't Bow Their Heads, The Book of the World, etc.). ). Further evolution, he changed from one under the Yellow Emperor to two or six under Yao (Xihe, Heshibi, Xihe Uncle, Heshibi).

Changxi

Also known as Chang Yi or Shangyi, she is the king of the moon (the god in charge of the moon) and the wife of Dijun and He (the Japanese king). Notes in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Four Wild Classics: "The wife of the Emperor often gives birth to a second child in ten months, so she begins to take a bath." This means that Chang 'e was born for twelve months, which means twelve months a year.

According to the phonological research of Biyuan in Qing Dynasty, the predecessor of Chang 'e was Chang 'e, who was born in October.

Nüwa

The Goddess of Creation in China's ancient mythology. Legend has it that Nu Wa took loess as a model and created human beings and human society. There is also a legend in "Goddess of mending the sky", that is, a catastrophic disaster happened in nature, the sky collapsed, and raptors and beasts came out to harm the people. Nu Wa smelted five-color stones to fill the sky and slay the beasts. It is also said that Nu Wa made a musical instrument called Sheng Chun, so people regard Nu Wa as the goddess of music. Custom Yi Tong records that she established a marriage system for human beings, enabling young men and women to intermarry and reproduce, so she is called the goddess of marriage. There are many legends about Nuwa, which have been passed down to this day and have far-reaching influence. Up to now, Miao and Dong people in Yunnan, China still worship Nuwa as the ancestor of their own nation.
