Fuxi is a famous monarch in ancient Chinese mythology and an ancient god. He created many more advanced ways of survival for mankind, and also stipulated some laws for intermarriage between men and women, making great contributions to human civilization and reproduction. Made a huge contribution. For such an important and outstanding figure, many people cannot help but have some questions: Where is Fuxi from? Where was his birthplace? This issue has remained controversial to this day.
According to some ancient books, we can see that Fuxi’s mother, Hua Xu, lived in Chengji, Longxi, near Tianshui, Gansu Province now. Hua Xu’s heart was moved because she stepped on Lei Ze’s footprints, and finally She was pregnant for twelve years before she gave birth to Fuxi. In ancient times, there was a rule that twelve years constituted a period, so it was also called a period. In other words, Fuxi was from Tianshui, Gansu. This is also a common belief among many people. But there are several other theories. Some people say that Fuxi is from Jining, Shandong, because ancient books record that the Huaxu family is the female leader of Jiuhe, and Jiuhe is located at the junction of the Yellow River in Henan and Shandong. This led to the theory that Fuxi was from Puyang, Henan, and also listed the records about Lei Ze in the "Book of Mountains and Seas", which introduced that Lei Ze was in Wuxi, which is now Puyang, Henan, and there are still people there today. There are relics left over from ancient times.
Although there has always been controversy among the public about where Fuxi is from, the main reason is because of the identity of the female leader of the Huaxu clan, which allowed her to roam around and her presence has appeared in many places. Evidence, but according to today's data and relics, it is not possible to completely confirm where Fuxi's birthplace was, but Fuxi's huge contribution to human society cannot be erased.
Fuxi was born in the middle to late Paleolithic Age, which was a matrilineal society where women's status was higher than men's. Many children had no fathers, or they did not know who their fathers were. Therefore, there is not much information available to prove who Fuxi's father is, and there are many answers to this question. One: Fuxi's mother, Hua Xu, was playing on the beach when she was young. She saw a huge footprint and stepped on it out of curiosity. Later she found out she was pregnant. Twelve years later, she gave birth to a son with the body of a snake and the head of a human. The child is Fuxi, which means he has no father. Regarding this legend, some people say that the huge footprints belong to Thunder God. Thunder God was born with the body of a dragon and the head of a human, so Thunder God is Fuxi's father. Second: The God of Thunder married the daughter of the King of Bliss on earth and gave birth to two brothers and sisters, Fuxi and Nuwa. Then the God of Thunder is Fuxi’s father. Third: Since the beginning of Pangu, the God of Thunder and his younger brother have managed the world respectively. The younger brother had a pair of children in the world, Fuxi and Nuwa, and finally died in the flood trying to subside the flood. Fourth: Huaxu's husband, Suiren, was Fuxi's father. His surname was Feng, and he was from Shangqiu, Henan. His main contribution was to teach people to drill wood to make fire, which ended the era of humans eating raw food. He was called the Fire Ancestor by later generations, and therefore became the king of the Suiren clan. He led people to adopt healthy lifestyles such as eating cooked food, basking in the sun and warming themselves against the cold, which extended human lifespan. He also named animals and divided all animals into four categories, named mountains and rivers, named stars, and invented pottery inscriptions. Of course, it can also be understood that the Huaxu family married the Suiren family after having a child Fuxi, so it is not yet known who is Fuxi's father.
When it comes to Fuxi and Huangdi, most people’s first reaction is that they are Chinese gods and can be regarded as the ancestors of human civilization. Fuxi and Nuwa were from the same period. He existed before the Yellow Emperor, so I feel that his image is more mythical. I used to think that he and Nuwa were not real historical figures, but the sustenance of people's good wishes. It's an imaginary character. As for the Yellow Emperor, we have learned about it in history textbooks. He really existed, and he indeed led people to do many things, which were conducive to mankind entering a civilized society. For example, Huangdi taught people how to build houses, and his wife taught people how to raise silkworms and make silk. As I grow older, my understanding of Fuxi and Huangdi has also changed to a certain extent, especially my understanding of Fuxi. From the beginning, I firmly believed that he did not exist, and now I started to doubt his existence. Many ancient books say that Fuxi, also known as Fu Feng, was the first of the three emperors and five emperors in ancient China, and his status was very prominent. However, according to data, legends about him did not appear before the middle period of the Warring States Period, so it is really possible that his legends were made up by people.
As for the relationship between Fuxi and Huangdi, there is actually no special relationship between them, because there was no such thing as a relationship in that era. If we use the current relationship network to look at their relationship, we can put them in a company. Then, Fuxi is the founder of this company, and Huangdi is the successor after several generations. He is the one who made the company bigger. That person. So they all entered the honor roll at the same time and were praised by people. Fuxi and Nuwa were both ancient gods. Fuxi was the first person to create a new civilization. He invented gossip and taught people to use nets for fishing and hunting, which largely solved people's dilemma of lack of living resources. Nuwa is also the creator of mankind and the mother goddess. So what is the relationship between Fuxi and Nuwa? Legend has it that the relationship between Fuxi and Nuwa was that of a married couple. If we want to talk about their relationship, we have to start from ancient times.
Legend has it that a long time ago, Fuxi and Nuwa were a brother and sister. When they were very young, a huge flood occurred. Everyone in the world died, except Fuxi and Nuwa. Wa survived because she hid in a huge gourd. Later, the flood receded, and the brother and sister lived a carefree life, growing up slowly by their own abilities. Later, both of them felt that they were too lonely alone in the world. So Fuxi proposed to marry Nuwa so that he could breed more humans in the future. But it was unbelievable for brother and sister to marry. Fuxi told Nuwa that if they didn't do this, the human race would become extinct after the two of them died. Nuwa also thought it made sense, and the two decided to use divination to ask God's will. Two people climbed to the top of a very high mountain, each holding a stone mill in his hand. They agreed that if the stone mill can grind together in the end, it means that God is also willing to see the union of two people. In the end, the two stone mills rolled from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and they actually ran together. So the two people got married and became husband and wife. From then on, they had children and the number of humans on the earth gradually increased. From this we can see that the relationship between Fuxi and Nuwa is really that of brother and sister and husband and wife. Although the two acted helplessly, their actions did change the crisis of human beings' imminent extinction.
