Fuxi is the ancestor of humanity admired by the Chinese nation, ranking first in san huang.
Fu Xishi, who is also known as the Emperor Sacrifice and Emperor Xi, made a series of operas. Fu Xi is Tai Hao, whose real name is Feng. Legend has it that he has virtue, like the brightness of the sun and the moon, so he is called Tai Hao. The ancestor of the Chinese nation in mythology. He also told his people to make nets and engage in fishing, hunting and animal husbandry. Began to draw gossip, make books and deeds, and be old. 15 years in office.
According to legend, his head was a snake, he married his sister Nuwa, gave birth to children, and became the ancestor of mankind. It is also said that he was an outstanding leader of the ancient Dongyi tribe. Fuxi created 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 between 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.
In the portrait, Fu Xishi exudes shawls and wears deerskin, which is an ancient style. In ancient times, people used stone tools to process hides, and then sewed them with tools such as bone needles to keep out the cold. There are eight diagrams in the lower left corner of the picture, which shows his achievements in creating eight diagrams, while Fu Xishi's eyes are deep and wise, worthy of the image of ancient wise men.
It is said that Fuxi's mother, Hua Xushi, went out and accidentally saw a huge footprint in Leize. Curious Hua Xu used her footprint to measure the footprints of adults, and unconsciously became pregnant. Twelve years later, Fuxi was born. Jin Huangfu Mi's "Century of the Emperor" said: "The emperor of Tai Hao sacrificed his surname, and the surname of the wind was also the same. In the world of Sui people, there were giants who were traced by Lei Ze, and Hua Xu was pregnant with his feet, and he was born in Fuxi." The Eastern Jin Dynasty-Wang Jia's "Notes on Picking Up the Legacy" said: "The emperor in the spring is another name for the sacrifice. The capital is the state of Hua Xu, where the Mother Goddess swims, and there is a green rainbow around the Mother Goddess. After a long time, it disappears, that is, it feels pregnant and has been born for twelve years. " Sima Zhen's Supplement to Historical Records of san huang in the Tang Dynasty said: "Tai Qi Bao's surname is Feng, and he is the king on behalf of Suiren. My mother, Hua Xu, was a great man in Leize, but she was born and sacrificed in Chengji. The head of the snake body is sacred. "
Fu Xishi is one of the earliest wise men in China literature. Fu Xishi has a keen observation of things and a deep affection for the land. At the same time, he has superhuman intelligence. Fu Xishi described everything he observed with a mathematical symbol (this binary mathematical model has become the cornerstone of today's computer technology development), which is gossip.
In ancient times, there was a river in the east of Mengjin which was connected with the Yellow River, and the dragon and horse were negative. Based on the dragon and horse's picture, Fu Xishi drew a divinatory diagram with the contents of Gan, Hui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen and Kun, which was later called Fuxi Eight Diagrams. Fu Xishi looked up at the image in the sky, looked down at the law in the earth, and explained the evolution law and human relations order of everything in heaven and earth with Yin and Yang gossip. Fu Xishi made a book contract, married properly and taught fishing and hunting, which put an end to people's ignorant history and created Chinese civilization. Longma Futu Temple became the "source of river map", while Fu Xishi was regarded as the "ancestor of human roots" and "ancestor of humanity" of the Chinese nation. The Biography of Han Kong Anguo said: "The dragon horse is the essence of heaven and earth, and its shape is also good, and its body is Long Lin, so it is called the dragon horse. The dragon horse is red and green, and it is eight feet and five inches high. It has wings like a camel, and the sage is in office. The negative picture comes from the middle of Meng He."
It is said that Fuxi is the son of Thor. "Shan Hai Jing" said: "In Razer, there is Raytheon Xilong with a head and a bulging belly." "Taiping Yu Lan" quoted "Poems with Mist" as saying: "Hua Xushi was pregnant because he stepped on the footsteps of Raytheon, and he was born with sacrifice. Legend has it that Fuxi is the head of a snake and has a holy virtue. "
There are Chilong, Jianglong, Shanglong, Tulong, Qinglong, Shuilong, Qianlong, Changlong and Bailong in Fu Xishi.
the migration of Fu Xishi and the formation of the dragon totem
Fu Xishi originated in Tianshui, taking snakes as the totem. According to ancient books, Fu Xishi was born in Chengji and ruled Chencang, both in Chen. He reigned for one hundred and fifty years and passed on to the fifteenth. Fu Xishi originated in Chengji, and after its development, it entered Guanzhong along the Weihe River Valley, left Tongguan, moved eastward next to Xiaoshan, Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain, then turned to the southeast, and finally ended in Chen. This activity area is generally consistent with the distribution area of Yangshao cultural ancient sites. Whether Fu Xishi is a clan migration or a cultural influence remains to be studied.
Today, on the bank of Caihe River in Huaiyang, Henan Province, there is the "Tomb of Fuxi Family of Taihao", which is about 2 meters high and below the upper circle. It is said that this tomb existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and has been handed down to this day. There are towering cypresses and numerous inscriptions around the mausoleum area, which is recognized as Fuxi cemetery.
The formation of the dragon totem originated from Fuxi, not Yandi and Huangdi. Besides Mr Wen Yiduo's argument, there are other evidences. Sima Zhen's "Supplement san huang's Biography" is preceded by Fuxi's snake head, but in the end it says that Fu Xishi "has Long Rui, who is called the Dragon Master". This kind of record implies that Fu Xishi played a leading role in the formation of dragon totem. Another snake is called Xiaolong in the zodiac. If a snake has spirituality, it becomes a dragon. According to the Wei Book of Han Dynasty, Fu Xishi was the first to be virtuous in wood, and he was the first of a hundred kings. Fu Xishi is the Qinglong, Qing Di. Emperor Yan Shennong takes fire virtue as the king and red dragon; The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan took Tude as the king and called it Huanglong. According to the five elements, the first thing that appeared was wood, not fire and earth. Similarly, Qing Di should be the first emperor in ancient times, and Qinglong is also the Yi Long of the Chinese nation. Fu Xishi is naturally the founder of the Dragon Totem, and Tianshui is the birthplace of the Dragon Totem. The descendants of the dragon, while knowing that Yanhuang is the ancestor, should not forget that there is a greater and older ancestor above Yanhuang, who initiated the civilization of the Chinese nation.
Fu Xishi's snake totem and Tianshui's snake taboo
Fu Xishi's snake head shows that Fu Xishi takes snakes as totems. In The Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are a large number of gods with the heads of snakes and dragons. It can be noted that most of them are north, west and south. There is a Raytheon in East longitude in the East, with a dragon body and a human head. According to textual research, this article is a mistake and should be in Overseas West Classic. It is also known that Razer is in Zhuanglang, Gansu Province, and the god of thunder waves should also be in the northwest. There are 454 gods, 37 "gods" and 138 related to snakes and dragons, accounting for 45%. It can be seen that snakes have an unparalleled position in the hearts of ancient ancestors.
taking snakes as totems can also lead to unhappiness while defending one's kin. Of course, every ancestor knew his descendants, their faces and voices. But when there are too many children and grandchildren, the ancestors neglected for a moment and mistook one for another. No one can guarantee that. So the people of the same totem clan are both respectful and afraid of this ancestor, for fear of provoking. At the same time, it is best for children and grandchildren to practice the special gestures and tones of their totem in front of their ancestors from time to time, and often show the special image of this totem in decoration so that the ancestors can pay attention to and protect the race anytime and anywhere.
Tianshui still retains the awe and taboo of snakes. The snake found in the house is called the domestic snake. If it appears, it means that there are evil spirits in the house, and the domestic snake cannot live in peace. The owner should burn incense and kowtow to worship, so as to drive away evil spirits. When you see a mating snake, you should avoid it, and you can't tell others that the image of mating snake is similar to that of the head of the ancient Fuxi Nuwa snake. Snakes don't call by their first names. Commonly known as the long worm, the snake is called the little dragon in the zodiac. Moreover, snakes are spiritual. When figuring idols in the countryside, small snakes are often caught and put into the head or abdomen of mud fetuses to show the divine efficacy. Rural people often say that there are big worms as thick as buckets in a certain mountain, and all the vegetation passing by is overwhelmed. This serpent is also the spirituality of this mountain. The snake drills seven holes, and it is the real dragon emperor. Avoid snakes, snakes are in trouble to save. The most taboo thing in Tianshui area is to hit snakes. There are countless stories of retribution for snatching snakes among the people. The essence of these snake taboos has a profound totem worship nature.
The essence of snake worship in Tianshui is dragon worship.
According to the Preface to Life Calendar in Chunqiu Wei, the Fuxi family of Taihao passed down for 1 generation, which lasted for 14 years.
