He especially likes to observe things around him and also likes to think or think about problems. Every day, he looks up to observe the changes of the stars in the sky, the patterns on the turtle's back, the colors of bird feathers and the ups and downs of mountains and rivers, and often draws the shapes and characteristics of things on his hands. Over time, the T-shape was created. When Cang Xie created characters, he began to eat corn like fish in the world, for fear that people would be too busy writing. People will starve in the future.
Ghosts secretly cry in the dark, and dragons hide, because they are afraid that words will record their ugly behavior, let the world know and make them immortal.
This is the origin of Chinese characters. A great man, I especially admire him. Cang Xie succeeded in coining words, and strange things happened. On that day, it rained like millet during the day, and I heard ghosts crying and wolves howling at night. Why does it rain like rain? Because Cang Xie created words, words can be used to convey ideas and record things, which is naturally worth celebrating. But why do ghosts cry? Some people say that because of writing, people's wisdom is growing, people's morality is dividing, and deception and cunning are born. The world will never be peaceful, and even ghosts will not be peaceful, so ghosts will cry.
There is another saying:
On one occasion, Cang Xie made a mistake in providing the historical records recorded in these knots to the Yellow Emperor, which led to the defeat of the Yellow Emperor in the border negotiations with Yan Di. Later, it was a good way for Cang Xie to resign, travel around the world, visit and record historical events. Three years later, he returned to his hometown, Baishui Wu Yang Village, and lived alone in a deep ditch, "watching the joy of Kuixing and the traces of birds and animals' hooves", sorting out all kinds of materials and creating all kinds of symbols representing everything in the world. He gave these symbols a name, called Zi.
Cang Xie's words are made according to the shape of everything. For example, Japanese characters are marked according to the red circle of the sun; The word "moon" is painted in imitation of the shape of the new moon. The herringbone is looking at the silhouette painting of people ... The first article that the Yellow Emperor learned was very moved, so he was named Cang. It means that a gentleman is better than one person and a villain is better than a gentleman. Later, when God knew this, he sent down millet to reward Cang Xie. This is the origin of Grain Rain Festival on Earth. According to legend, Cang Xie was an official under the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor assigned him to be in charge of the number of livestock in the fence and the number of food on the chariot. But slowly, the storage of livestock and food is also gradually increasing and changing, and my head alone can't remember it. Cang Xie was puzzled. Cang Xie tried to tie a knot on the rope all day and all night, and used ropes of different colors to represent different animals. But over time, it won't work. It is easy to tie a knot on the rope for this increased number, but it is troublesome to untie a knot on the rope when reducing the number. Cang Xie thought of winding the rope and hanging all kinds of shells in the circle, instead of what he was in charge of. If it increases, a shell is added; if it decreases, a shell is removed. This method works best and has been used continuously for several years. Seeing that Cang Xie was so capable, the Yellow Emperor put him in charge of more and more things, such as the number of sacrifices each year, the distribution of hunting and the increase or decrease of tribal population, all of which were called Cang Xie. Cang Xie has made another mistake, which is no longer a matter of hanging a shell with a rope. How can I not make mistakes? On this day, he took part in collective hunting and came to a fork in the road. Several old people were arguing about which way to take. An old man insisted on going east, saying there were antelopes; An old man wants to go north, saying that he can catch up with the deer not far ahead; An old man insisted on going west, saying that there were two tigers, and if they were not killed in time, they would miss the opportunity. Cang Xie, it turns out that they are all looking at the footprints of underground beasts. Cang Xie suddenly felt happy: Since a footprint represents a wild animal, why can't I use a symbol to represent what I am responsible for? He ran home happily and began to create various symbols to represent things. Sure enough, manage things well. When the Yellow Emperor knew it, he praised it and ordered Cang Xie to teach this method to all tribes. Gradually, the usage of these symbols has been popularized and formed into words. Cang Xie made a word, and the Yellow Emperor attached great importance to him. Everyone praised him, and his reputation is growing. Cang Xie's mind was a little hot, and his eyes slowly moved to the top of his head. No one looks down on him, his handwriting is very scrawled. This word reached the ears of the Yellow Emperor, who was very angry. Courtiers have no room for deterioration in his eyes. How did Cang Xie realize his mistake? The Yellow Emperor called the oldest old man around him to discuss. The old man has tied more than 120 knots on his long beard, which shows that he is over 120 years old. The old man hesitated and went to Cang Xie alone. Cang Xie is teaching people from all tribes to read. The old man sits quietly at the end and listens as carefully as everyone else. After Cang Xie finished speaking, everyone else dispersed, and only the old man was still sitting in his old place. Cang Xie was a little curious and asked him why he didn't go. The old man said, "Cang Xie, your words have become a household name, but I am old and dizzy, and a few words are still unclear. Will you teach me again? " Cang Xie was glad to see such an old man respect him so much, and urged him to speak quickly. The old man said, "Are there four legs in the words horse, donkey and mule?" ? Cows also have four legs. Why didn't you invent the word' cow' with four legs and only one tail? Cang Xie was a little panicked when he heard this: when he first coined the word "fish", it was written like a cow, and when he coined the word "cow", it was written as a fish. It's all my own carelessness, and I actually taught it backwards. The old man went on to say, "The word' heavy' you made means that you have to pronounce the word' out' from a long distance away, but you taught people to pronounce the word' heavy' as weight. On the other hand, the word "out" when two mountains are combined should be the word "heavy" for weight, but you have taught it to be the word "out" when going out. These words really confuse me, so I have to ask you. " At this time, Cang Xie was ashamed and knew that he had made a big mistake because of his pride. These words have been taught by all tribes and spread all over the world, and cannot be changed. He quickly knelt down and expressed his regret with tears. The old man took Cang Xie's hand and said sincerely, "Cang Xie, you have created words, so that the experience of our older generation can be recorded and passed on. You have done a great thing, people will remember you from generation to generation, but you can't be arrogant! " From then on, every time Cang Xie made a word, he always scrutinized the meaning of the word, but he could ask people's opinions, but he didn't dare to be careless. When everyone agrees, it is decided, and then it will be gradually extended to various tribes.
According to ancient books, Cang Xie had a "long face and bright brain". According to legend, Cang Xie also used knots to take notes. Although the knots are different in size and shape, they are difficult to identify with the passage of time, which once led to the failure of negotiations between the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di. Therefore, Cang Xie felt deeply guilty, so he resigned from his post, traveled around, visited wise men all over the world, and sought a good way to take notes. A few years later, he returned to his hometown and lived alone in a deep ditch in the west of the village. He looked up at the curved direction of Kuixing, overlooking the texture of turtle's back, the paw prints of birds and animals, the shape of mountains and rivers, and the fingerprints of palms, from which he got inspiration, created hieroglyphics according to the shape of things, and opened a new era of human civilization. There are four temples in front of Cang Xie Temple in Baishui, Shaanxi, with a small wing on each side, which is a hard mountain structure. There are inscriptions in the front hall of Han, Wei, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are Cang Xie Memorial Hall, Cang Xie Inscription, the rebuilt Cang Xie Temple Monument and the memorial hall related to Cang Xie Temple. These stone tablets are reliable historical records of Cang Xie Temple. Among them, Cang Xie Temple Monument in Han Dynasty, Guangwu General Monument in Qin Dynasty, Cangsheng Bird Monument in Qing Dynasty, Cang Gong Monument in Da Song Dynasty, Cang Gong Monument in Tang Dynasty, and Confucius Inscription Monument in Wei and Jin Dynasties are all famous monuments in the history of stone monuments. The inscriptions on Cang Xie Temple are an important part of the ancient culture and art of Cang Xie Temple in terms of history, calligraphy art and cultural relics value. It has gone through various dynasties, from which we can not only see the development process of stone tablets, but also see the complete history of Cang Xie Temple. Among them, Cang Xie Temple Monument is the earliest monument in China, and Guangwu General Monument is the only monument in Qin Dynasty. The inscription is an official script, which contains models and exotic animals. No wonder, from Zhao Mingcheng in the Song Dynasty to Kang Youwei and Yu Youren in modern times, they all fell for it. Qing Qianlong's "Cangsheng Bird Trace Book Monument" was written by Liangshan Chang of Baishui County, copying 28 words left by Cang Xie. According to historical records, "Cang Xie wrote two volumes of books, which were destroyed by fire in the Sui Dynasty, with only 28 words left". These 28 words were deciphered in the Song Dynasty as "Wu has been the first friend of * * *, stopped in the world, made great achievements, made friends in all directions, was respected by Chishui, and was overwhelmed". Twenty-eight characters themselves contain pictographs, meanings and so on. In the word-forming methods of Chinese characters, such as "column, qi, name, respect" and so on. And some words are the same as Oracle Bone Inscriptions. On the surface, the 28 words on the tablet are not related to each other, but a careful study records a period of history of the Yellow Emperor. According to five lines of gossip's analysis, there is a piece of wood in the east and a piece of soil in the middle. According to the records of the Five Emperors, Emperor Yan has virtue and fire is king. The Yellow Emperor is called the Yellow Emperor because of its earthy virtue and earthy yellow. It lives in Zhuolu and is located in the central position, so it is "Wuji". "As the first friend, I stopped on earth and became famous." The two emperors who described Yanhuang were tribal leaders, and what they did was a model for all the small tribes in the world. "Stay at home with each other, respect Chishui and overwhelm Mao Ge" describes the Yellow Emperor's conquest of Yan Di and suppression of the Chiyou rebellion. When peace was restored in the world, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Yellow Emperor became the tribal leader in the world. In addition, there are plaques carefully inscribed by Yu Youren, Qiu Xing and Xie Deping in the gate, front hall, middle hall and bedroom hall. Are hung to worship Wenzu and the Holy Spirit of Cang Xie. He especially likes to observe things around him and also likes to think or think about problems. Every day, he looks up to observe the changes of the stars in the sky, the patterns on the turtle's back, the colors of bird feathers and the ups and downs of mountains and rivers, and often draws the shapes and characteristics of things on his hands. As time goes on, words are created.
