Chen Geng is one of the main branches, and the order is 17. The former is Ji Mao and the latter is Xin Si. On yin and yang and five elements, the Geng of heavenly stem belongs to the gold of yang, the Chen of earthly branch belongs to the soil of yang, and gold is born.
Gengchennian
The17th year of a cycle in the traditional calendar of China is called "Chen Geng year". In the following AD years, if the number of years is divided by more than 60 and 20, or the number of years is reduced by 3, the remainder after division by 10 is 7, and the remainder after division by 12 is 5. Beginning of spring in that year and beginning of spring in the following year are all "Chen Geng years".

According to The Classic of Mountains and Seas and other ancient books, Chen Geng is a "powerful and outstanding" upper limit god, who works as a bodyguard beside Ms. Yunhua, the daughter of the Western Queen Mother (the ancestor of all immortals). During the reign of Emperor Yao, Dayu was ordered to "lay the earth". In order for Dayu to successfully control the floods in the world and rebuild his homeland for the people, Mrs Yunhua sent seven heavenly generals, including Chen Geng, to help. They are well-connected, loyal to their duties, split mountains and talk about Taoism, subdue demons and catch monsters, and all have made great achievements. During the thirteen years of following Dayu, he took part in the struggle against the house style and eliminated his evil minister Xiang Liu one by one. Especially in the fierce battle between Tongbai Mountain and the monster Wu, he showed great power and surrendered the "first monster in history" Wu. This is the pinnacle of Chen Geng's extraordinary achievements, and it is also the main reason why he is known as Lord Huai.
The theory that Chen Geng is the water god of Huaihe River mainly comes from the following points:
(1) The article in Tai Ping Guang Ji quotes the cloud of Chatting with the Curtain and Li Tang: "... after Chen Geng, all people tried to do this to avoid Huai Tao's suffering". The premise is that the wizard Qi, the "Huai Water Monster", has the function of suppressing evil spirits, so all the people in Huai tried their best to make an example of him. If we extend our thinking, Chen Geng's image can ward off evil spirits, so can we keep peace forever by shaping his golden body into the Huai God?
(2) Some officials and scholars revere those who represent justice and drive out evil, and are angry that Wu once ravaged floods and squandered his life, so they vilify Wu everywhere and praise him. Tang Long, the magistrate of Fengyang in the Ming Dynasty (later promoted to the official department), once said in the Inscription on Rebuilding Huaidu Temple in Jiajing nine years, how can Wu's water demon be pregnant with God? Reading Sven Yayi tries to deny Wu's theory of water god, but there is no way to follow it and it is inconvenient to designate it as Huai God, which is a more tendentious statement.
(3) People's "taking for granted". For people who work at sunrise and rest at sunset, since they heard this scholar say that he is a just god who can subdue evil witches and support Qi, they can even shock other mountain monsters. So, of course, whether Chen Geng is a blasphemer or a dragon Lord.
Gu Yue
Guyue nationality is mainly distributed in the coastal areas from Jiangsu Province in the north to Vietnam in the south. Today's Zhuang nationality in Guangxi is a typical descendant of the ancient Yue nationality in Lingnan, and their distant ancestors are xi Ou Yue and Luoyue tribes. Yue or Baiyue is just a general term. In fact, the Vietnamese did not form a unified country. However, it must also be noted that all branches of the Yue nationality are a huge isomorphic body of human beings, with both differences and connections. They have the same family name-Yue or Yue.
The Chinese nation is the floorboard of all ethnic groups in China formed in history after Qin and Han Dynasties. The Huaxia nationality after Xia and Shang Dynasties and the Han nationality after Qin and Han Dynasties have always played a leading role in the big family of the Chinese nation. All ethnic groups in China formed after the Han Dynasty accepted the Han culture in part or in whole, and most of them respected China and the ancestors of the Han nationality, Yan Di and Huangdi, as descendants of the Chinese people in a broad sense, and * * * jointly created Chinese civilization (note: see Huang Chongyue).
Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Guyue people (Yuetong and Yuetong) who lived in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the vast areas south of it were an important ethnic group in southern China, and at the same time they were the same ethnic group with unbalanced internal social development, so they were called "Baiyue" in history. As the minister in History of Han Geography said, "From head to toe, Huiji has seven or eight thousand miles, and there are different castes in Guangdong." They have an important historical position in the formation of the Chinese nation.
From now on, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi and even Yunnan-Guizhou regions are called Yuyue (Yangyue), Dongyue (Dongou), Fujian-Guangdong, Nanyue, Ouyue (Xiou), Luoyue (now northern Vietnam) and Dianyue respectively. They are called "Yue" because they have the same cultural characteristics. This is mainly manifested in the use of double-shouldered stone axes, masons and geometric printed pottery, rice farming, fishing and hunting, living in "dry hedge" houses, being good at bronze drums, being good at swords, rowing, tooth cutting and continuous tattoo customs. This is recorded in ancient books and proved by archaeological data. "Baiyue" has many similarities in culture, but the level of social development is quite different. Generally, Vietnamese in the north are more advanced than those in the south. The most advanced representative of the ancient Yue nationality was Yue State, which once dominated the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, dared to compete with the strong Chu and competed for hegemony in the Central Plains, but was eventually annexed by the strong Chu. Later generations were either assimilated or moved to the south. The Nanyue nationality in the southern Guangdong and Guangxi regions of China is a backward branch of Baiyue. Until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was still in the transitional stage from the late Neolithic Age to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, and the national isomorphism of Nanyue nationality gradually formed.
According to documents and archaeological data, as early as four or five thousand years ago in the Yao and Shun era, the Nanyue people and their ancestors had contacts with the Huaxia people in the Central Plains. The Story of the Size says, "Yu Shun inherited Yao's virtue, but ..." The South caressed her toes. It is mentioned in Yi Zhou Shu Wang Huijie that the "Lu (European) God" and "Lu Yue" tattooed continuously in the eastern part of Shang Dynasty paid tribute to the king with fish products and swords. This refers to the Yue people along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He also talked about "Zheng Nan 'ou, Deng, Guo Guisheng ... dedicated to pearls, tortoise shells, ivory ... short dogs." This "Ou" and "Gui" people should refer to South Vietnamese, Western European and Luoyue people in Lingnan area. Archaeologically, there are southern geometric printed pottery unearthed in the commercial culture of the Central Plains, while Kuiwen pottery and some bronzes and ironware in the geometric printed pottery unearthed in South China are also obviously influenced by the Central Plains culture, and their cultural exchanges have been fully discussed by the academic community (Note: See related papers in the Collection of Baiyue National History. )。
Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan and established Panyu, Guilin and Xiang Jun, which greatly accelerated the economic and cultural exchanges between South China and the Central Plains. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, a Han Chinese in the Central Plains, established Nanyue State, which belonged to the Central Han Dynasty, with Nanyue as the main body (including Xi 'ou in southwest Guangxi and Luoyue in north Vietnam). This has comprehensively promoted the integration of Han nationality and Nanyue nationality from military, political, economic, ideological and cultural aspects, and promoted the sinicization of Nanyue nationality, and Nanyue nationality and its descendants naturally became a member of the Chinese nation.
Through the comprehensive study of history, archaeology and ethnology, we can see that the ancient Yue in the south of China, which is dominated by South Vietnamese, has made important contributions to the Chinese national culture in important aspects of human life, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. In terms of clothing, Guyue people and their descendants in the south of China, Li people in Hainan Island and other southern minorities are the inventors of weaving with kapok, banana, bamboo and other plant fibers (Note: Rong Guanqiong: "Explaining' Island Flower Clothes, Weaving Shellfish'-Also on the Contribution of Southern Minorities to China's Ancient Textile Industry", in Cultural Anthropology and Southern Minorities, p.160. ); In terms of eating, the ancient Yue nationality "rice, rice and soup fish" is the forerunner of planting rice (early rice, rice); In terms of residence, the Guyue nationality is the creator of "Ganlan" residence; In terms of transportation, Guyue people are the founders of boats and boats. Thus, the Guyue people in the south of China have made indelible historical contributions to China culture.
