Chaos is chaos, and the image of chaos is a bird that can sing and dance. Some notebooks are called "",and the traditional "bird" is similar to "swallow". Plagiarism may be wrong, but it all makes sense. Obviously, "chaos" here refers to the sun. ? So how is chaos associated with Di Jiang? That is, the ancient sound "Jiang" is connected with "Hong". Di Hong is the Yellow Emperor, the legendary ancestor of the Chinese nation. Yuan Mei (17 16- 1798) also said in The King of Snakes at Meridian: "There was a king of snakes in the State of Chu, just like him, but he had a mouth without eyes, ears, claws and nose. It is shaped like a meat cabinet, and it is muddy and the vegetation is exhausted. " It is no accident that this passage links the chaos in Di Jiang, the snake (dragon) and the Emperor of Zhuangzi (see below).
There are roughly three explanations for the "chaos" here: 1) explained by natural phenomena, such as Li Yi, Wendi, Cheng and Lu Changgeng; 2) The solution is man-made phenomena, such as forest and harmony; 3) Explain with historical phenomena, such as Xuan Ying. According to "Zhuangzi Ji Jie": "It is an obvious side, so Shu is the reason; The North Sea is a dark area, there is nothing to ignore, and the central government is not south of North Africa, so there is nothing but chaos. Shu: Metaphor is vivid; Suddenly: figuratively invisible; Chaos: pervasive, metaphor for nature. Suddenly, in the name of speed, chaos appears as harmony. Whether you have two hearts or not, it will be a non-existent situation. Two hearts are an ambition, so the cloud will be very kind. Shu, suddenly two emperors, still pregnant with partial stagnation, failed to meet, but began to learn, careless chaos, that is, the benefits. Going against the sky, telling lies with your eyes open, choosing between good and chaos, and having or not, is to die without regret. As the old saying goes, the walker will fail.
Now the Emperor of Heaven is called () (the same as Shu), the Emperor of Heaven in Beihai is called Hu, and the Emperor of Heaven in the center is called Chaos. () And all of a sudden, they often go to Chaos to play, and Chaos is very polite to them. One day () and suddenly discussed how to repay the kindness of chaos. They say that everyone has seven eyes, ears, nose and mouth for seeing, listening, eating and so on. The fly in the ointment is that he knows nothing about chaos. We might as well chisel some out for him. So he brought tools like axes and chisels to dig up the mess. One hole a day, seven holes in seven days. But poor Chaos, after being chiseled by his good friend, "Alas, don't die a natural death". This somewhat funny fable contains a groundbreaking mythological concept. Chaos was (), and suddenly-representing fast time-seven holes were cut. Although chaos itself is dead, the whole universe and world after chaos was born because of it.
Chaos, in ancient China mythology, is indeed the name of a god. Three western classics, Shan Hai Jing, say that there is a god bird on the Tianshan Mountains in the west. It's shaped like a yellow cloth bag and red as fire. It has six feet and four wings, but it knows how to sing and dance. Its name is Di Jiang.
Di Jiang is Di Hong, the Yellow Emperor, and he is the central god, so Zhuangzi's fable directly regards him as the central god. As for some people who say that chaos is the son of the Yellow Emperor, I am afraid it is a legend later.
No matter whether chaos is a god or a son of a god, no one wants this black thing to stick to chaos except Taoism, which pursues "returning to nature" and "governing by doing nothing". Therefore, the legend of later generations, chaos is ugly. The sacred classics say that chaos is a beast that looks like dogs, people and bears. It has eyes but can't see, ears but can't hear. Because he is blind, it is difficult to walk by himself, but he knows where others are going. When he met an upright man, he tried to resist him. When he met the bully, he fell to his knees and leaned against him. This humble temper is really innate. When he is free, this guy always likes to bite his tail, spin around, lie on his back and laugh. It can be seen from this legend that people really don't like chaos, which is almost synonymous with darkness.
