The ancestors of Ba people, formerly known as Babixiang. The ancient book Shi Ben, which was first recorded in the Qin and Han Dynasties. "Shi Ben" records that "Lin Jun came from a sorcerer a few days ago". Unfortunately, Ishimoto did not say who the witch's birthday was or what it meant. Yuan Ke, a famous mythologist, thinks that Wu Shengtian is probably a wizard born all his life, because it is recorded in Shan Hai Jing that Wu Xian, Wu Luo and Wu Xie are all short names for wizards.
"Shiben" records: "The people from Nanjun, Ba County, had five surnames, namely, Ba, Fan Shi, Shi Xiang, Tan Shi and Zheng Shi, and all came out in five minutes. Lin Jun's name is Wu Xiang, and his surname is Ba Shi. He competes with,, and Zheng. It was * * * who threw the sword in the cave, and the winner was king. Babbitt's son was alone, and everyone sighed. Lin Jun shot the salt goddess tribe again, so he went to Yicheng. All four surnames are ministers. When Yan Jun died, the soul world was a white tiger, so he was knocked unconscious. "
According to Shiben, in ancient times, Lin Jun was the master of the Ba surname, contending with the other four surnames for god (king). Lin Jun defeated the leader of the four surnames, unified the south and became the king of Yicheng, and all four surnames came to yield. After Lin Jun's death, his soul became a white tiger, so people built ancestral temples to worship him. This is the story of Lin Jun, the ancestor of Ba people, and the origin of white tiger worship. After research, experts found that Babbitt's son's office changed from matriarchal clan to paternal clan, probably later than Yanhuang period, which was roughly the same as Yao and Shun period.
Wu Xiang (), the son of Ba, unified the four major surnames in the south, which should be the four major tribes, and thus became the master of the five major surnames * * * and the respected ancestor of Ba people. Judging from the records in Shan Hai Jing, it is certain that Ba Shi's son is a descendant of Fu Xi's love. "Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing": "There is a country in the southwest, which is too open for salty birds. The salted bird is from Li Sheng, and the photo was taken after Li was born. The photo is the beginning of the Ba people. " Bobby's son Wu Xiang is a descendant of Ba people, and then Zhao is the ancestor of Ba people's surname, and the ancestor of Hou Zhao is Fuxi, so Bobby's son Wu Xiang is naturally a descendant of Tai Hao Fu.
Why did the concept of Ba people come into being from Fuxi's great-grandson Hou Zhao? What exactly does Ba people mean? Why did they take such a name? Here are two most authoritative explanations. First, after Fuxi's great-grandson Hou Zhao was born, it was in the Yanhuang era. Dongyi Group, where Houzhao was located, was gradually weakened by the eastward expansion of Yanhuang tribe, and some of them were forced to move south to join Sanmiao Group in Jiangnan. About this time, after Zhao went south, he led the people of Dongyi Group to Dongting Lake in the hinterland of Sanmiao. The most striking feature of this place is that there are big snakes. According to Shan Hai Jing, the southern classics of Hainan, there is a big snake named Baneng in the south. It took three years to spit out the elephant's bones, and the idiom "Ba Snake Swallows Elephants" came from this.
Because Bashu not only swallowed elephants but also ate people, Dongyi tribe who had just arrived in the south was swallowed by Bashu. Therefore, the first warrior of Dongyi Group was ordered to kill Bashu, and was ordered to chase Bashu to Dongting Lake, where he successfully beheaded Bashu. After Bashu's death, its bones were like mountain ridges, so it was named Baling. Since then, the descendants of the post-Zhao dynasty have taken Ba as their surname. Therefore, as a descendant of the late Lord, Lin Jun's son Bashi naturally surnamed Ba. Another way of saying this is that Fuxi and Nu Wa, the ancestors of Ba people, were both snake heads, with mysterious birds as their totems. In ancient times, Ba literally means snake, so it is natural to take Ba as the surname.
Since Dongyi Group takes the mysterious bird as its totem, why has it taken the white tiger as its totem since Lin Jun? Is it really because Lin Jun's soul became a white tiger after his death? The answer is no, ancient legends often turn the myth of daily life into a white tiger after Lin Jun's death, which is the result of psychological respect. In fact, the white tiger totem became the totem of the Ba people, which was related to the situation at that time.
Starting from Fuxi's great-grandson Hou Zhao, Yanhuang Alliance began to expand eastward on a large scale, and soon defeated Dongyi Group. Dongyi Group could not establish itself in Shandong and Huaihe River, so the tribes had to merge with Sanmiao tribe in the south. After Zhao and his tribe came to the south, they changed their surname to Ba. After other tribes arrived in the south, they changed their surnames according to the geographical environment, which was the later four surnames. Babbitt, Fan Shi, Shixiang, Tan Shi and Zheng Shi were the five tribes that first went south. After the five tribes came to the south, they went their own way, but there was no unified alliance between them. Although the tribe has not yet been unified into a whole, the pace of the joint counterattack of the tribe and Sanmiao against the Central Plains has not stopped.
From the time of the Yellow Emperor, the feud between Huaxia and Nanman ministries began. The ancient book "Lu Shuxing" records: "The Yellow Emperor used violence to control violence and destroy seedlings." The Yellow Emperor's army swept all the way across the southeast and south, almost eliminating the remnants of Dongyi Group and the ministries of Sanmiao. By the time of Emperor Zhuan Xu, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, long-term peace had been maintained, which provided conditions for Ba people and Sanmiao tribe to recuperate. When Tang Yao arrived, some Miao people refused to take revenge on Huaxia, and Emperor Yao led his troops to conquer them and defeated the Miao people in Yudan Shuipu. In Shun Di, Dongyi tribe and Sanmiao once again jointly crusaded against China. Shun Di called the Sanmiao tribe, including the remnants of Dongyi, one of the "Four Fierces" and personally led the army south to make a conquest. Shun Di unfortunately "collapsed in Mingtiao" and was buried in the wilderness of Cangwu.
It can be seen that from the era of the Yellow Emperor to the era of Yao and Shun, the wars between the central plains and the southern ministries have been constant. The history that Dongyi Group and Sanmiao Tribe jointly fought against Huaxia Tribe in the Central Plains has lasted for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, the tribes of Sanmiao and Dongyi Group suffered repeated wars and defeats, and had to move westward again after being hit hard many times.
The five families of Dongyi moved westward, and the five surnames of Bashi, Xiang, Tan and Zheng moved westward until Wu came out of the mountain, which led to the origin of the five surnames vying for God. At this time, Bobby's son-in-law won the battle for God. Bobby's victory was called Lin Jun, and five tribes began to unify, calling themselves Ba people. Since then, it has become the ancestor of the Ba people.
In the pronunciation of the aborigines in Wuluo, the tiger is called Li Fu, and the "Lin" is mixed with Li Fu's pronunciation (today, the totem of Li's surname is white tiger), so it became the tiger king. According to ancient records, the aborigines in Wuluo regard the tiger as a totem, and they worship and fear the tiger, especially the white tiger as a god. Because of his pronunciation, Lin Jun has been mixed with tigers for a long time. So after Lin Jun's death, people claimed that he became a tiger out of the mysterious worship of death and the myth of the leader. Since then, the white tiger has been regarded as a totem, and the Ba people have worshipped tigers since then. The original mysterious bird totem of Dongyi Group was replaced by a white tiger.
White tiger is the totem of Ba people, which not only reflects the historical facts of ancient tribal wars, but also reflects the character of Ba people from another side. Totem is not only caused by unilateral reasons, but also by brands embedded in the depths of personality.
White tiger is one of the four beasts, which was first mentioned together with Kirin, Huanglong and Phoenix. Subsequently, the white tiger was juxtaposed with Qinglong, Suzaku and Xuanwu as the four great beasts. Another image of the white tiger is that it is good at fighting. The white tiger is the embodiment of the Pakistani god of war. In ancient times, there were tigers' heads in marching and fighting. The tiger is famous for its swiftness and ferocity, so it is suggested as the god of war. The third meaning of the white tiger is cruelty, and the white tiger is the master of fierceness. The Ba Tujia people once said that the white tiger is a fierce god and an evil god. In folk geomantic omen, the position of the white tiger is also the theme, so it is necessary to avoid the tomb facing the White Tiger Mountain as much as possible.
It can be seen that after five tribes from Dongyi Group conquered the local aborigines in the south and established a vast Pakistan country, the Pakistanis took the white tiger as a totem and set up the white tiger flag. The Pakistanis founded the country by force, acting too fiercely and cruelly, and finally it is difficult to stabilize the people for a long time. In 3 16 BC, Pakistan was finally destroyed by the state of Qin, and Pakistan disappeared from history.
