Brief introduction of suiren's family
Suiren is also called "Suiren", and the ancients "ate like fur and drank like blood". He drilled wood for fire, taught people to cook, and was the inventor of artificial fire. The myth about him reflects the evolution of China from using natural fire to making artificial fire in primitive times. "Biography of Shangshu" said: "Sui people are emperors, Fuxi is the emperor of drama, and Shennong is the emperor of agriculture. Therefore, people learn from fire, fire and the sun. Yang Zun, so he asked the emperor to go to heaven. "
The position of Suiren in myth
In China's myths and legends, there are many heroes who benefit the people with wisdom, courage and perseverance, and Xiang Man is one of them.
Brief introduction of sui mingguo
In ancient times, clans who made fires with wood were also called "the country of the Ming Dynasty". They didn't know the four hours of day and night. If people don't die, they will ascend to heaven if they are tired of the world. State-owned wood, also known as fire tree, bends around and clouds come out. If there is a bird, peck at the wood with its beak and make a fire. A saint, a saint, was inspired by it, so he broke off a flint branch and drilled wood for fire. People call this saint a saint. "Peaceful Magnolia" Volume 869 quoted "Notes on the Chronicle of the Prince": "Shen Mi went to Wan Li. There is an embarrassing country, but I don't know four o'clock. If people don't die, they will ascend to heaven if they are tired of the world. State-owned wahoo, famous wood, twists and turns, clouds in the middle. The fire went out when the branch was broken and drilled. Later saints became smelly and swam beyond the sun and the moon, saving everything with food; Even the south. This tree shows that if a bird pecks at the tree with its mouth, it will burn. The sage felt embarrassed, because he took a twig and drilled a fire, so he named it Suiren. " In the same volume 78, "Gu Li Wen Jia" said: "Sui people began to drill wood for fire ... so they are Sui people." There is also the legend of "Suiren's summer taking fire from dates and apricots" (see "On Kyushu" in Volume 87 of Yiwen Collection). Today, there is a living myth circulating in Shangqiu, Henan Province, that "people beat stones to make a fire".
The leader of Suiren's family
Thirty thousand years ago, the leader of Suiren and the leader of Yan Zi Shi combined to form a blood alliance of marriage, which was originally called Suiren and Husband.
Yan Zi Shi's Weaver Girl is the earliest female leader in the history of China. Later, the world honored her as the female emperor, also known as Xuan Nv, Xuan Di, Wang Su, Motome, Xu Nu, Di Zi and so on. She invented the technique of rubbing rope with bark 30 thousand years ago. She invented three kinds of ropes: one rope is called spin, the other rope is called child, and the third rope is called rope (also called element).
Thirty thousand years ago, Yan Zi Shi, a man with no opinion, stood in the center of Kunlun Mountain (now Qilian Mountain in Gansu Province). Refers to the celestial pole star in the Palace of Heroes, in the sky. Celestial star is the north pole of the celestial sphere, so it is also called Polaris.
Yan Zi Shi, the founder of Polaris, is also known as Zi Gong and Zi Weiyuan. Purple is synonymous with Xuan, the Purple Palace is the Xuan Palace, and the lady in the palace is Yin Dexing, the nine-day Xuan Nv of the Virgin of Chile.
About 15000 to 13000 years ago, Polaris was named Vega because of Yan Zi Shi's Vega.
Suirenshi Yan Zi Shi Branch.
There are three branches: one is Li, the other is Li, and the third is Jade Bird. The male family of Katz takes the mysterious bird as the totem, and its three clans are collectively called "Sanke family", also known as Sanqing bird family. They regard Juzi as their ancestor and respectfully call him "issam" or "issam Na", while the leaders of all branches call him "Elymus".
The master of the mysterious women, Kouye, is old and lives in Weak Water in the south of Helishan Mountain (now the north of Zhangye City in Gansu Province). His clan, also known as Kuikun, has a wide range of branches. One of them moved northward along the weak water, extending outward from Juyanhai (now remaining Gashunnuoer Lake) and Rouge Mountain (also known as Yanran Mountain, now Longshou Mountain and Hangai Mountain in Altai Mountains), and scattered in the Serenger River, Erhun River and Ergon River (the source of the upper reaches of Heilongjiang), a tributary of Lake Baikal. One moved westward along the northern foot of Altai Mountain to Eastern Europe. A Wulungu Lake moved from weak water to the southern foot of Altai Mountain, and entered Junggar Basin and Tarim Basin along Yili River and Alatao Mountain.
Munoye Lao, a young woman with a beard, lives in Fangleize (now Linze County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province, which has dried up) in the weak water basin at the south foot of Helishan Mountain, and branches from Pangu Branch of Fanglei and lives in Gulang (now Gulang County, Wuwei City, Gansu Province). Its branch moves eastward to Helan Mountain in the east of the West Sea, jumps northward into Yanran Mountain and Lake Baikal, and joins the old branch of Levin. The other branch enters the Luanhe River basin and the Northeast Plain from Yinshan to the east. One enters Beiluoshui from Liupanshui, adjacent to the old river system in Xiao Ye.
Guangyang Yelao was renamed Zhang, and (now Zhangye City, Gansu Province) was built in Nord. The other branch was later named Yang, and Yuancheng (also known as Xuancheng) was built in the upper reaches of Huanjiang River. The descendants of Konoha developed along the Sanggan River and its tributary Huang Shuihe, moved to Hunhe River and Liu Hu, with its capital in Daiwangcheng (now Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province), and then moved to Jianwu Luocheng (also known as Charlotte, now Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province).
Suiren, an old branch of Levin, entered Hebei Province eastward along Taihang Mountain, with its capital in Lingshou (now Lingshou County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province) and its capital in Puyin (also known as Wanxian County, now Shunping County, Baoding City, Hebei Province). Later, he moved northward to Dawangdian, with its capital in Suicheng (now xushui county, Baoding City, Hebei Province), and set up Lingtai (now Wujitai) in the center of heaven and earth.
The Late Distribution of Suiren Family in Yan Zi Shi
Sui people's self-reliance surname "Feng" is the earliest surname of China people.
The wind surname * * * is divided into ten parts: Tian Xiong, Tian Qi, Tian Yi, He Xiong, Tian Yang, Yin Tian, migratory birds, insects, thunderstorms and imperial city.
In the later period, the branches of Suiren were almost all over the country, among which the most important ones were Yi, Hua Shi, Xu, Hua Xushi,,, and Pan Hu. They are mainly distributed in today's Gansu Province, starting from Dunhuang (Guguazhou), Sanwei Mountain, Shule River and Maozi Mountain in the west; East to Qingyang, Huachi and Hehe, until Shaanxi Beiluo River; South to Laji Mountain, Sun Moon Mountain, Chengxian County, Lixian County, Kangxian County and Fengxian County in Huangzhong, Huayang County in the south of Qinling Mountains. Its activity center (Star Watching Sacrifice Center) mainly has three places: First, the Dragon Shoushan (the ancient Kunlun Mountain), second, the Laji Mountain in the middle and middle of Huangzhong, and third, the Liupanshan Mountain. The immediate surnames of the followers, such as Yun surname, Feng surname and Yi surname, are distributed around them.
Ten Great Inventions of Yan Zi Shi.
Yan Zi Shi is the founder of the Chinese nation. He left ten great inventions to future generations. These ten inventions are:
About 50 thousand years ago, he invented "drilling wood to make fire", and then he invented "flint to make fire"
About 40 thousand years ago, the calendar of supporting trees in the mountains began, and the astronomical phenomena observed at the top of Kunlun Mountain were named after the road of tomorrow.
About 30,000 years ago, Yan Zi Shi Weaver invented the rope twisting technology and founded the Knot Note. Suiren takes the right pivot Tianyi (Tianlong Star) as the north star.
About 20,000 years ago, the Sui people founded the "clan totem emblem system", and surnames became popular. About 26,000 years ago, Suiren took Vega Taiyi (a star in Lyra) as the north star.
About 15000 years ago, Yan Zi Shi invented the solar calendar in San 'ao.
About 14800 years ago, Yan Zi Shi invented the river map, Luo Shu (Kono Lao created the river map and Muye Lao created Luo Shu) and the astrological calendar, creating early human symbols.
About 12000 years ago, Suiren invented "Wen Tao" and created "ten-day dry".
"Ten-day-work" uses completely ancient symbols and characters, and its title is different from now. It is recorded here for readers' reference. (Because ancient symbols and characters can't be input into the computer, they are temporarily omitted. )
Eight years ago, about eleven thousand years ago, Suiren founded the Eight Outline Calendar.
Nine years ago, about 10,000 years ago, Suiren discovered the universal biochemical model of plough, cat, Tai Chi seal and Tai Chi whirlpool.
Around 7800 BC, Suiren summarized the great discovery of Heaven and established an ancient civilization.
Related archaeological research
In 1980s, archaeologists from China discovered the site of the late Sui Dynasty in Nanzhuangtou, xushui county, Hebei Province. Two kinds of pottery were unearthed in this site, one is dark gray with sand, and the other is reddish brown with sand. According to scientific research, its production date is about 12000 years ago.
Nanzhuangtou Site declares to the world that as early as 12000 years ago, our ancestors were able to make pottery, which is an important material evidence of China people's transition from primitive times to civilized times.
drill wood to make fire
Records of drilling wood for fire in ancient books
Sui Renshi is a legendary inventor, which has been recorded in ancient books before Qin Dynasty. According to "Five Mistakes of Everything is done", "In ancient times, there were fewer people and more beasts, and the people were invincible; ..... People eat fruits, clams, clams, and the foul smell hurts the stomach and causes many diseases. There are saints who drill fire to make it stink, and the people call it (味味) to be the king of the world, which makes people embarrassed every day. " "quotations from corpses" said: "one looks up at the stars and overlooks five trees as fire." "Notes" said: "It can be seen that state-owned trees are famous all over the world. Later, saints swam to their country, birds pecked at trees, and they lit a big fire. The sage felt awkward because he used twigs to drill fire. " "Ancient History Examination" said: "At the beginning of ancient times, people sucked dew, ate grass and fruits, lived in mountains, ate birds and animals, ate clothes and feathers, and ate fish, turtles and clams near water without cremation, which was harmful to the stomach. In order to make (yes) saints come out, fire is king, drill to make a fire, teach people to cook, and cast gold as a blade to make people happy. " "Three Graves" says: "Sui people teach us to eat with guns, drill wood for fire, have a platform for preaching, and have a strategy for tying ropes." "Hanshu" also has a record of "teaching people to prepare food, nourishing people's interest, avoiding odor and removing poison". Mr. Shang He Bing, a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, said: "Fire comes from scratch and its invention is difficult." The emperor felt that the forest burned himself, and he knew that wood hides fire. I don't know. After many attacks and tests, it's tricky to drill wood. His merits and deeds have entered the nest again, and he is the emperor. It can be seen that the shackles at that time were sacred and the interests were profound. "He also said," In other words, it is said that cremation and diet started in Xixi, so it is considered as a number. Do you know that since man invented fire, his wisdom has not known how to eat? "The gunner wrapped the meat and burned it, burning its hair to make it familiar. In cooked food, Suiren not only invented artificial lighting, but also created cooked food. Mr. Shang also said in the Examination of Social Customs and Things in Past Dynasties: "From now on, before there is a fire, all meat will be eaten raw, and it will die because it is harmful to people. I don't know its quantity and taste. Get cooked food, the smell of meat suddenly fragrant, the indifference of vegetation suddenly sweet and crisp, water ice can be drunk, cold can be warm. Burn firewood at night to protect tigers and leopards, and talk about it later. My husband preached on the stage that when using the radio, everyone's feelings are the most rude method. Fuxi is more beautiful when I go to Fuxi. There is no doubt that it was created by a monk. Mr. Shang believes that Dai's happiness is a great achievement. If there is fire, it can be used as a tool such as a blade in metallurgy. Before the fire, everything was made of stone. This is the so-called Stone Age. "
Story restoration
In the ancient wild times, people didn't know there was fire or how to use it. At night, it was dark everywhere, wild animals roared one after another, and people crowded together, cold and scared. Because there is no fire, people can only eat raw food, often get sick and have a short life.
There is a great god named Fuxi in the sky. He was sad to see that life on earth was so difficult. He wants people to know the purpose of fire. So Fuxi used his magical powers to bring down a thunderstorm in the mountains. With a crack, lightning struck the trees, and the trees burst into a raging fire, which soon became a raging fire. People were frightened by lightning and fire and fled everywhere. Soon, the thunderstorm stopped, night fell, and the land became colder and wetter after the rain. The scattered people got together again, and they looked at the burning trees in horror. At this time, a young man found that the howling of the wild animals that used to appear around him was gone. He thought, "Are wild animals afraid of this shiny thing?" So he bravely walked to the fire, and he found himself so warm. He greeted everyone excitedly: "Come on, this fire is not terrible at all, it brings us light and warmth!" " "At this time, people found that wild animals that were burned to death not far away gave off bursts of fragrance. People gathered by the fire and shared the burnt meat of wild animals, feeling that they had never tasted such delicious food. People feel the value of fire. They pick branches, make fires and keep them. Every day, people take turns watching the fire to keep it from going out. But one day, the man on duty fell asleep, and the branches of the torch burned out and went out. People fall into darkness and cold again, which is very painful.
The great god Fuxi saw all this in the sky. He came to the dream of the first young man who discovered the use of fire and told him, "In the far west, there is a kingdom of Sui and Ming Dynasties, where there is fire. You can go there and get it back. " The young man woke up, remembered what the Great God said in his dream, and decided to go to Suiming to find a fire.
Young people crossed mountains and mountains, waded across rivers and forests, and went through hardships, and finally came to the Sui and Ming Dynasties. But there is no sunshine day and night here, it is dark everywhere, and there is no fire at all. The young man was very disappointed and sat under a big tree named Nianju to have a rest. Suddenly, a light flashed before the young man's eyes, shining brightly around him. The young man immediately stood up and looked around for a light source. At this time, he found several big birds pecking insects on the tree with short and hard beaks. As soon as they pecked, bright sparks shone on the trees. When the young man saw this scene, his mind flashed. He immediately broke some branches and drilled big branches with small branches. The branch was really ablaze, but it didn't catch fire. The young man is not discouraged. He found all kinds of branches and patiently rubbed them with different branches. Finally, smoke came out of the branches, and then it caught fire. The young man shed tears of joy.
When young people return to their hometown, they bring people a kind of fire that never goes out-the method of drilling wood for fire. From then on, people no longer have to live in cold and fear. People were impressed by the young man's courage and wisdom, elected him as the leader, and called him "the man who made the fire", which means "the man who made the fire".
Huang Sui Mausoleum, 2 kilometers southwest of Shangqiu City, is said to be the graveyard of Sui people. Its tomb is about 7 meters high and surrounded by four Zhou Songbai. In front of the tomb, there is an inscription by Mr. Yu, director of the Chinese History Museum. Later generations carved stone statues to commemorate Sui Ren.
Current assessment
The famous historian Mr. Guo Moruo's "Historical Draft of China" said: "The invention of artificial fire undoubtedly played an extremely important role in ancient human life, which attracted great attention of future generations ... Such a legend, mixed with the life content of later generations, is covered with a mysterious coat, but still reflects the simple historical background of ancient human life." Mr. Zhao Puchu once wrote a poem: "It is important for one person to make a fire, and the world will be new." Engels said: "As far as the liberation of the world is concerned, the friction fire still exceeds the steam engine. Because the friction fire made people dominate a natural force for the first time, and finally left the animal kingdom. "
Significance of artificial fire
The invention of artificial fire ended the era of human eating hair and drinking blood and opened a new era of human civilization. Therefore, Suiren has always been respected and worshipped by people, and he is regarded as the head of Huang San and the "ancestor of fire".
The invention of fire made human beings have creative warmth, provided weapons and conditions for the gathering of ancient human beings, and provided the roots for the emergence of human social thoughts. The invention of fire created the incubation period of China culture.
The earliest primitive people didn't know how to use fire. Everything is eaten raw, not counting the fruits of plants. Even wild animals are eaten alive, even with blood in their hair. Later, the use of fire was invented (traces of fire have been found on the Peking man site in Zhoukoudian, indicating that the use of fire was known at that time).
The phenomenon of fire has existed in nature for a long time. The volcano erupted and there was fire. When thunder and lightning strike, the forest will catch fire. But primitive people began to see fire, and instead of using it, they were scared to death. Later, I occasionally picked up a wild animal that was killed by fire and took it to taste. It tastes delicious. After many experiments, people gradually learned to eat with fire and tried to keep the fire burning all the year round.
After a long time, people drilled hard and sharp wood on another hard piece of wood and drilled out Mars. Others beat flint (flint) to knock out the fire. This shows that workers can make fires (according to archaeological data, Neanderthals already know how to make artificial fires). Who invented it? Working people, of course, but in legend, it is said that it is a person named "Suiren".
Artificial lighting is a great invention. Since then, people can eat cooked food at any time, and the variety of food has also increased. It is said that Suiren also taught people to fish. It turns out that fish, turtles, clams, clams and the like are raw and cannot be eaten. If you have a way to make a fire, you can cook them and eat them.
