Let's start with deer hunting. At first, China's ancestors hunted for a living, and deer with delicious meat became their favorite hunting animals. With the development of social civilization, the ancestors gradually came up with the concept of tribe and country, so the goal of the competition changed from deer to kingship. Deer hunting is often used to refer to the struggle for kingship, the struggle for the world and the struggle for the Central Plains, and other idioms are related to this. Sima Qian also wrote in Historical Records:? Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it? , among them? Deer? Refers to the throne and country of the Qin Dynasty.
Besides, Jiuding. Dayu has made outstanding contributions to water control, and all tribes in the world depend on him. Later, the ruler Dayu divided the world into Kyushu and ordered people to build nine cauldrons to symbolize Kyushu. Therefore, Jiuding is associated with kingship and sovereignty. Jiuding also started from the Dayu era and spread to the Zhou Dynasty. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the warlord regime was chaotic, and it was a mystery under Jiuding. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he tried his best to find it, but he never found anything.
Let's talk about dragons. The dragon has always been the symbol totem of the Chinese nation. Everyone calls himself a descendant of the dragon, which shows the status of the dragon in our country. During the Qin Shihuang period, the dragon really became a symbol of kingship. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he called himself the ancestor of the dragon. Later emperors also said that they were real dragon emperors, embroidering dragons on clothes, ornaments and other daily necessities.
Finally, the sword on the side. This should be familiar to everyone. In many TV dramas, imperial envoys will show a noble sword when they are obstructed by other officials. Did the officials see this? What if I come in person? After the sword, they knelt down and dared not ask for anything more. And in real history, is Fang's sword played in this way? Sword instead of kingship? The role of. Fang Shangjian was the most popular in the Ming Dynasty, but after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, there was no Fang Shangjian. Therefore, some Qing Dynasty dramas often take out the square sword, which is a wrong cognition.
