It originated from the Xiling family, from the ancient Shao Hao Emperor's mother planet, and belongs to the ancestor's name. Xing 'e, also known as Huang 'e, is the legendary mother of the ancient Shao Hao emperor, surnamed Xiling, called Nvjie, and named Lei Zu. Shao Hao, a legendary figure in the middle period of patriarchal society, has various records in ancient literature. As far as his name is concerned, he is also known as Shao Hao, Shao Bian and Shao Gao, as well as Zhu Xuan, Bai Di, Jin Tianshi and Poor Sang. Sima Qian, a historian of the Han Dynasty, said in Records of the Five Emperors: "The Yellow Emperor lived in the hill of Xuanyuan and married the daughter of Xiling for Lei Zu. Lei Zu was the imperial concubine of the Yellow Emperor, and gave birth to two sons. Then there was the world: the first one was that it was for Qingyang, and Qingyang lived in the river; ..... "He also explained in" Suoyin ":"Xuanxiao Qingyang is the founder of Shao Hao, following the Yellow Emperor. In the "Imperial Century" written by Huangfu Mi, a historian of the Western Jin Dynasty, it is recorded: "The name of Shao Hao Emperor is Zhi, the word Qingyang, and the surname Ji is also." In the historical book Shangshu Justice, it is recorded: "Shao Hao Jintianshi, whose name is Zhi, the word Qingyang, once called Xuanxiao, has his surname, the son of the Yellow Emperor, and his mother called Women's Day, with King Jinde as the first of the five emperors." In the historical records, such as The Emperor's Century, Life in the Spring and Autumn Period and Yuan Dynasty, and Beginners' Notes, it is said: "Shao Hao's mother said' Women's Day', and when she saw the big star floating in Huazhu, she was born with Shao Hao, so she was called' Xing 'e'".
In the classic book, it is described strangely, which says: "Shao Hao took King Jinde as his mother, called Huang E, and sometimes he was a prodigy, and his appearance was absolutely vulgar. He was called the son of the White Emperor, that is, the star of Taibai, who descended on mulberry fields, played with Huang E, and Huang E gave birth to Shao Hao, nicknamed poor Sang Zi." This legend tells that Shao Hao's mother, Huang E, used to be a weaver girl in the sky. When she was tired, she often rocked the raft to wander in the Milky Way. When she came to the Cangmangpu of poor mulberry (now Qufu, Shandong Province), she met a handsome child prodigy who claimed to be the son of the White Emperor, that is, the essence of Taibai. This handsome young man incarnated as Tai Bai Star came to poor mulberry to meet Huang E. They fell in love with each other at first sight, and often played games together, forgetting to return home happily. After a romantic love, Huang E became pregnant and later gave birth to a son named Zhi. In order to commemorate their meeting in the poor mulberry, it is also called Zhi's poor mulberry. Sima Qian did not include Shao Hao among the Five Emperors when compiling Historical Records of the Five Emperors, but he clearly pointed out in Historical Records of the Almanac: "The decline of Shao Hao's family was also suffered by Zhuan Xu ..." This sentence is quoted from the historical book Guoyu Chu Yu, which means that Zhuan Xu was established after Shao Hao.
It is recorded in the document "Records of Emperor in Yanzhou Prefecture": "Shao Hao Jin Tianshi, whose surname is Zhi, is the son of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyao, and his mother is Lei Zu ... He feels like a rainbow, and he is born under the auspicious of Huazhu. The world of the Yellow Emperor lived in the river, and the city was in the poor mulberry, so it was called the poor mulberry family, the country was in Qingyang, and it was also called the Qingyang family. There was a holy virtue, and Jinde was the king of the world, so it was called the Jintian family, and its establishment was also right. Therefore, the bird was the official. " The legend about Shao Hao's officials by birds said in the historical book Zuo Zhuan Zhao Gong Seventeen Years: "Tan Zi came to the DPRK, and the public gave him a banquet. Zhao Zi asked Yan,' Shao Hao is a famous bird official. Why?' Tan Zi said,' My ancestor, I know it ... My great-great-grandfather Shao Hao was very loyal, and the phoenix bird was suitable, so he was disciplined by the bird and named it for the bird teacher. Phoenix bird's, calendar is also; Xuanniao's, the division is also; "Scott, division to also; Jade bird's family, the initiator is also; Dan bird's family, the company is also closed; I wish the dove's family, Stuart also; Gui's surname, Sima also; The dove's family is common; Shuang Yushi, Si Guan also; Stork dove's family, the secretary also; Five doves, doves and people; Five pheasants are five workers. The sharp weapon is used, and it is measured, and it is also a foreigner. Jiuhu, for nine farmers, is honest, and the people are not prostitutes. Since Zhuan Xu, we have been able to learn from the distance and learn from the near. If you live in civil affairs for a civil teacher, you can't be the same. " According to this record, the Shao Hao period was the most prosperous period of prehistoric bird totem worship, and the bird worship was consistent with the worship of the sun by the Japanese people in the East. The Japanese-worshipping people in the East believe that there is a three-legged bird above the sun, also known as the bird of God, the sun, the red sun, wu yang, the three-legged bird, the crow, Jin You, Mao Ang, etc. The three-legged bird flies from east to west with the sun on its back. Archaeological data show that Dawenkou culture, a typical representative of Neolithic culture in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in China, turned to Longshan culture in the later period, which was created during the prosperous period of Shao Hao ethnic group, including Zhuan Xu and Di Ku. After the Yellow Emperor competed for the Central Plains, the main activities of the Yellow Emperor clan moved to the Central Plains, while the East, the former capital of the big family, was presided over by Shao Hao, the son of the Yellow Emperor. According to the historical book Historical Records of the Emperor, "Zhuan Xu was born for ten years and assisted Shao Hao, but he ascended the throne at the age of twenty", and in the historical book "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Dong Jing", he also said: "Beyond the East China Sea, there is a big valley, the country of Shao Hao, and Shao Hao ru Di Zhuan Xu is here, abandoning his harps and instruments." Hao Yixing notes: "This remark was made by Shao Hao, who raised the emperor here, and used the harp as a teasing tool, but left it here ... Shao Hao is the father of Zhuan Xu, Zhuan Xu is his son, and the father of the world is on the country, and the son of Judah is accompanying him, caring for his young children as soon as possible, entertaining him with the harp and supporting him. This matter is fair and there is no difference." In addition, from the historical records "Being Learned", it is recorded that "Zhuan Xu ascended the throne at the twentieth, inherited the government of Shao Hao as an official, and lived through the history with water" and "Emperor Zhuan Xu was born with water, lived in poverty and became emperor" in the historical records "Lu Chunqiu", etc., the legend is reasonable.
According to the records in Historical Records of the Five Emperors, Zhuan Xu is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the son of Changyi, and Shao Hao should be Zhurui's uncle. According to Records of the Five Emperors, Di Ku Gao Xin is the grandson of Xuanxiao, from which we can see the succession of Huangdi → Shao Hao → Zhuan Xu → Di Ku. In the myths and legends of the historical book Shan Hai Jing, Shao Hao's descendants were recorded. Apart from raising Zhuan Xu as a Confucian, there were three other people in the order: ① In Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Bei Jing, there was a person who was born face to face, and one said that he was Wei, the son of Shao Hao, and ate millet. (2) A person is described in Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Nan Jing: "There is a Yuan, and Shao Hao was born with double felling, and the double felling fell to the Yuan. There is water in all directions, which is called Juntan. " (3) A person is described in Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing: "Shao Hao was born like a bow and arrow." In addition, there are other myths that record that Ju Mang, Ru Shou and Qiong Qi are all sons of Shao Hao. During Shao Hao's reign, he revised the law of Tai Hao, set up industrial integrity and agricultural integrity, and managed workshops and agricultural production respectively; Positive measurement, observation of astronomical phenomena, determination of calendar, invention of musical instruments, etc. Shao Hao, in particular, pushed the patriarchal clan society to a prosperous age, completely replacing the matriarchal clan social state. During the period of Shao Hao, with the development and prosperity of patriarchal clan society, a large number of oriental Japanese-worshippers migrated to all parts of the Central Plains, which promoted the vigorous development of Longshan culture in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and laid the foundation for Chinese civilization. According to legend, Shao Hao reigned for 84 years, died at the age of 1, and was buried in Yunyang (now Qufu, Shandong). Today, Qufu still has a more complete Shao Hao Mausoleum, which is built of square stones and is known as the pyramid of China. Shao Hao was revered as the "ancestor of the gods" by Chinese descendants from generation to generation.
The mother of such a great ancestor of mankind, Xing E, made great contributions. Among the descendants of Emperor Shao Hao, in ancient times, there were people who took their grandmother's name as their surname, and "Huang" was taboo, but taking "E" as their surname was one of the earliest surnames. It originated from Yin Qi, the daughter of the ancient Yao Emperor, and belongs to the belief in historical events. According to the historical records "Historical Records", "E Huang, Yao's daughter married his wife."
According to legend, E Huang and Nv Ying, according to legend, are Yao's two daughters who both married Yu Shun as their concubines. After Shun Di's patrol, she died in the wilderness of Cangwu, and they both went to the south and died in Hunan. The world reposes them, and some people take their names as surnames, which are called E Huang's and Nv's, and the later provincial texts are simplified to single surnames E's and Ying's. Originated from myth, from the wife Chang 'e in ancient times, belonging to the belief in historical events. According to the historical record "Tianwenzhi of the Later Han Dynasty", "Chang 'e stole the elixir, ran to the moon, and became a toad." Chang 'e, whose real name is Heng E, is a figure in myths and legends. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was renamed Chang 'e to avoid the taboo of Liu Heng, the emperor of Chinese literature. The Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon is a folk myth with a long history. However, there are too many versions of legends about how and why Chang 'e flew to the moon, but generally speaking, Yi and Chang 'e were both from the time of Emperor Yao. According to the myth, when Yao was born, there were ten suns hanging in the sky at the same time, which scorched the land, dried up the crops, and people were breathless from the heat and fell unconscious on the ground. Because of the hot weather, some strange birds and beasts also ran out of the dry rivers and lakes and the flaming forest, harming people everywhere. The disaster on earth alarmed the heaven, and Chang Jun, the Emperor of Heaven, ordered the archer to descend to the earth to help Yaodi get rid of the sufferings of the people. Yi came to the world with a red bow and a bag of white arrows given to him by the Emperor of Heaven and his beautiful wife Chang 'e. After that, Yi immediately began to shoot at the sun. He took off the red bow from his shoulder, took out the white arrow, and shot at the arrogant sun one by one. In an instant, nine of the ten suns were shot. It was only because Emperor Yao thought that leaving one sun was useful to the people that he stopped Yi from continuing shooting. This is the story of the famous "Shooting Nine Days". Yi's great achievements became a great hero in the world, and he was praised and admired by the people of Kyushu, but he was envied by other gods. They went to the Heaven Emperor to make slanders, so that the Heaven Emperor finally alienated Yi and finally condemned him to the world forever. After being wronged, Yi and his wife Chang 'e had to live in seclusion and hunt for a living. According to the folk legend, Yi came to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek Taoism, and when he happened to meet the Queen Mother of the West who passed by, he asked her for a pack of immortal medicine. After taking this medicine, he could immediately ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Yi couldn't bear to leave his wife Chang 'e, so she gave the fairy medicine to Chang 'e for collection. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the treasure box of the dresser, only to be seen by Peng Meng, Yi's apprentice. A few days later, Yi led his followers out hunting, and Peng Meng, who had ulterior motives, pretended to be ill and stayed. Shortly after Yi led the crowd away, Peng Meng broke into the inner house with a sword in his hand, threatening Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e made a decisive decision in a crisis, turned around and opened the treasure box, took out the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp. As soon as Chang 'e swallowed the medicine, she suddenly drifted off the ground, rushed out of the window and flew to the sky. Because Chang 'e is worried about her husband, she has been flying to the nearest moon.
According to Huai Nan Zi, therefore, Yi felt sorry for his wife, who was exiled to the world because of his trouble, and went to the Queen Mother of the West to ask for two elixirs for immortality, so that the husband and wife could live in harmony in the world forever. However, Chang 'e couldn't get used to living a hard life. When Yi was not at home, she stole two elixirs that belonged to them, and as a result, she ran to the moon involuntarily.
According to the record in "Tian Wen", Yi was unfaithful to Chang 'e and ignorant with Hebo's wife, which caused Chang 'e's great dissatisfaction. Chang 'e swallowed two elixirs that belonged to them in a rage and flew to the moon involuntarily. No matter how Chang 'e rose to the moon, after the moon, WU GANG, who was punished by God for cutting laurel trees on the moon, cut a twig to build the Guanghan Palace for her and found a small white rabbit to accompany her. However, in the face of the cold and desolate moon, the lonely Chang 'e soon regretted it. She always thought of her husband and the warmth in the world, but she could never return to the world to meet her husband. After hearing the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon had become an immortal, people on earth set up incense tables under the moon to pray for good luck and peace to Chang 'e. Since then, the custom of Yue Bai in Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people. People commemorate Chang 'e, and some people take her name as their surname, which is called Chang 'e's, and later evolved into Chang 'e's and E's.
Note:
It was Yi who shot the ninth day, not Yi of Xia Dynasty. In order to distinguish the two Yi, people called Xia Yi Hou Yi. Therefore, we must never call the god who shoots the sun "Hou Yi". Originated from myth, from the ancient Hercules Kua 'e's family, belonging to the ancestor's name. This branch of E's family comes from "Yu Gong Yi Shan". In the classic Liezi Tang Wen Pian, it is recorded: "Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain are 7 Li square and Wan Ren is high. Ben is in the south of Jizhou and the north of Heyang. The foolish man in Beishan is 9 years old and lives near the mountain. Punish the traffic jam in the north of the mountain, and get in and out of the room, and say,' I'll try my best to make it through the south of Henan and reach Hanyin, ok?' Mixed promises. His wife offered doubts:' With your strength, you can't damage the hill of the Chief Father, such as the King's House in Taihang. And how to place earth and stone?' Za said,' Throw yourself at the end of the Bohai Sea and the north of the hidden soil.' Then he led his descendants to bear the burden of three husbands, detained stones and cultivated soil, and transported them to the end of the Bohai Sea. My neighbor's widow, Jing Shi, has a man, so she started to help him. Cold and summer are easy to celebrate, and the beginning is opposite. Hequ Zhicuo laughed and stopped, saying,' I'm sorry, you don't like it. With the strength of the remaining years, one hair of the mountain could not be destroyed. What is it like earth and stone? " The foolish old man in Beishan said,' Your heart is solid and unbreakable. You were never a widow or a weak son. Although I die, I have a son; Children give birth to grandchildren, and grandchildren give birth to children; A son has a son and a son has a grandson. Children and grandchildren are infinite. And if the mountains don't increase, why bother and be uneven? " Hequ Zhicuo died in response. The god who fucked the snake heard it and was afraid of it, so he told the emperor. Feeling sincere, the Emperor ordered Kua's two sons to take two mountains, one in the east and the other in the south. Since then, the south of Hebei, the yin of Han, there is no long broken.
This story is the famous "Yu Gong Yi Shan". According to legend, after Kua's two sons helped Yugong remove the two mountains of Taihang and Wangwu, the Emperor of Heaven told them, "You see, the people are suffering from drought, and the land in the east is rich, but the grain is not abundant. I want you two to go down to earth again and plow all that land for people to plant value." Dare not disobey the order, the two men said, "Not long ago, Xianniu went down to earth privately and fell off his front teeth. Now, the injury has not healed. How can we plow the field without a cow?" The Emperor of Heaven said, "I'll just send two horses to be at your disposal." So, the two sons of Kwa 'e listened to the jade decree, put on their cool hats and drove away with two horses. When the two brothers arrived in the land of East Vietnam (today's Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces), they picked out a highland to give Shenma a a nose, tied a cow rope, put on a plow and plowed it. When they were hungry, they put fried rice in their mouths. When they were thirsty, they took a sip of water from the fields. When they were sleepy, they dozed off against Shenma. In a few days, they turned up most of the fields in East Vietnam. Just as the two brothers were rushing to plow the land in Zhoushan, the Dragon King of the East China Sea stopped the horse's head angrily with a group of followers and said, "How did you plow into my realm?" As soon as the two brothers were stunned, each of them took off his cool hat and put it on the ground. They bowed their hands to the sea dragon king arch and said, "Old Dragon King, we came here to farm on the orders of the Heaven Emperor, and all we know is to plow all this land. Besides, you say this is your realm. I wonder what evidence you have? "This ....." The dragon king was embarrassed at the moment. It turned out that the Dragon King had long wanted to expand the waters, and it was even more urgent to learn that the brothers were going to farm here. The two brothers asked him for documents, but he couldn't get them out at all, so he had to sink his face and drink, "I am the Dragon King, how can I blame you?" Stop it! " The two brothers said, "If you don't have the land certificate issued by the government, we can't pay the bill in front of the Jade Emperor. Let's plow!" The dragon king was in a hurry and shouted, "Don't plow!" The two brothers were stubborn. Seeing that the Dragon King was unreasonable, they stamped their feet and said, "Be sure to plow!" Then pick up the plow, shout at the horse and move. Angry, the Dragon King brushed his sleeves, and in an instant, the mountains shook, and large chunks of land collapsed, and the waves in the East China Sea surged over. When the two brothers saw that it was not good, they quickly jumped into the clouds, and the two cool hats left in the ground in a hurry turned into two isolated islands-later generations called them Da Mao Shan Island and Xiao Mao Shan Island; Two horses that had no time to pull to the sky were washed upside down by the flood, which is now Yangdao; The horse's front hoof, which is tilted high, has become the village along the pavilion (front hoof); The two horseheads that emerged from the water became the inner and outer god island; The yoke that fell from the horse's back sank deeply into the present yoke harbor; The highland where Shenma used to wear a nose and a rope has become the present one.
