There is also a man named Kui who lives on Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea. He is like a bull with no horns, light gray and only one foot, and he can go in and out of the sea freely. Every time I go in and out, there will be a lot of wind and rain, and thunder will roar. During the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, the soldiers were puzzled by all kinds of monsters found by Chiyou. The Yellow Emperor decided to make face drums with some special materials to boost morale. So the above two are in big trouble. The former uses bones as drumsticks, while the latter peels and beats drums.
There is also a medical minister named Lei Gong in Huangdi Neijing, whose deeds can't be verified, except that he sent messengers to collect herbs, and the messengers got lost and became woodpeckers, or this is the source of Lei Gong's face in later generations. As far as the image of the dragon body is concerned, the Thor in the game is probably a Razer.
The belief in Raytheon originated from the natural worship of thunder and lightning by ancient ancestors in China, because in ancient times, the climate changed abnormally, and the clear sky suddenly became gloomy, thunder rumbled, and lightning sometimes destroyed trees and killed people and animals. Make people think that there is an angry god in the sky, and then feel awe and worship it. The image of god has gradually changed from a simple natural god to a god with complex social functions.
The image of Raytheon is recorded in Shan Mei Jing Hai Nei Jing Dong Jing, which records: "There is Raytheon in Razer, a dragon with a head and a bulging belly. In Wuxi. " This image is half human and half animal. People think that thunder is in the sky and dragons are flying in the sky. If they are tied together, there will be a thunderstorm. Imagine a drum, thundering. Later, the image of Thor further changed. In the previous episode of Youyang's in-laws, he said, "Pig head, two fingers on each hand and foot, biting it with a red snake"; Volume 21 of "Ancient and Modern Book Integration Divine Scripture" says that "tapirs have scales on their heads"; The volume of "Casting Ding Yu Wen" said that "the big head is ghost-shaped, the neck is white, the nose of Zhu Du, the yellow belt, the right hand axe, the left hand chisel, and the drum in the fire"; The Interpretation of Truth quoted Su Ji Shen as saying that "the color is like Dan, the eyes are like mirrors, the hair angle is more than three feet long, the shape is like six animals, and the head is like a macaque"; "Tang Shi Bu" said that "it is like squatting, lying on the ground in autumn and winter"; The seventh volume of Yi Jian County Records says that it is shaped like a strange ghost. "It is three feet long, and its face and flesh color are green. Add a bow to your head, such as a hoe in the world, made of meat, and connected to your forehead. " In short, the image of Thor is uncertain, and its shape is dragon, human or beast; Blushing is still the head, monkey head, pig head and ghost head. After Zhou Bing, Thor was called Schleswig, or Leigong. "Li Chu Sao Ge": "Luan Huang sued me first, and Schleswig sued me for nothing." There is also "Kaiyuan Zhan Jing" saying: "The southeast star of Pentecostal is called Sikong, and its god is called Leigong." Whether it was called Schleswig-Holstein or Leigong, there was only one Raytheon worshipped at that time, and the 24th of June in the lunar calendar was regarded as Leigong's birthday, which was called "Leigong's birthday", so the Japanese had to offer sacrifices to Leigong. By the Yuan Dynasty, the image of Thor had not been finalized, because there was a Leigong flag in the Yuan Dynasty, and the painted Thor was still "GREAT GHOST-shaped" or "the capacity of a strong man". In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the image of Thor tended to be unified, and its standard image was generally described in "On the Collection of Explaining the Truth": "It looks like a lion, with bare chest and abdomen, two wings on his back, three eyes on his forehead, blushing like a monkey, long and sharp chin, feet shaking like an eagle, claws sharper, wedge in his left hand and mallet in his right hand, making a striking gesture. From top to bottom, there are five drums hanging around the ring, and there is a peristalsis on the left and right plates, named Lei Gong Jiang Tianjun. " It can be seen that the most obvious characteristics of Raytheon at this time are monkey face and sharp mouth, so there is a folk saying of "Leigong face" and "Leigong mouth".
Nine days should be thunder, and the past Buddha is the highest god in the thunder department. As a mirror of immortals in past dynasties, he is called "the master of heaven's fortunes, the balance of all things, the system of things and people, and the difference between life and death". He has a complex organization of the Lei Department, headquartered in Yufu, consisting of "36 central divisions of the inner court, East and West Huatai, Mystery Pavilion, four houses, six courtyards and divisions, and Cao Bureau". According to "Tian Yuqing Lei Yujing", the four houses are: Jiuyuqing House, Dongji Qingxuan House, Jiutian Yingyuan House and Dongyuan Jade House; These six hospitals are: Taiyi Inner Hospital, Yushu Hospital, Wuli Hospital, Doushu Hospital, Shiyang Hospital and Xiandu Lei Huo Hospital; The branches are: Tianbu Tingsi, Penglai Dushui Department, Taiyilei Branch Sibei Landmine Branch, Beidou Expedition Branch, Beidou Defense Branch, Yufulei Branch IX, Caoyuanzi Branch. He also said that "Yu Xuan, You Xuan, Golden Valve Shi Zhong, Servant Shooting, Shang Xian, Zhen Bo, Qing Jian, Xian Lang, Yu Tong, Yu Nv, and various departments, officials and generals of Thor". Also known as "General Jiutianlei, General Bafang Yunlei, Messenger of Thunder from Five Parties, and General Commander of Thunder Department", they all obeyed orders under the command of Jiutianlei Popularization Buddha. It is said that there are thirty-six tripterygium wilfordii, which are divided into three categories: heaven, earth and man, with twelve in each category. The twelve Leigong are: Shen Xiao Lei Gong, Wu Fang Lei Gong, Xing Feng Lei Gong, Yu Hang Lei Gong, Xing Yun Lei Gong, Buze Lei Gong, Xing Bing Lei Gong, Xing Xiao Lei Gong, Sha Fei Lei Gong, Shi Jia Lei Gong, Fu Mo Lei Gong and Ghost Tun Lei Gong. The twelve thunderbolts are: correcting good thunderbolts, punishing evil thunderbolts, ordering thunderbolts, distributing mine thunderbolts, eliminating disaster thunderbolts, collecting poisonous thunderbolts, helping dangerous thunderbolts, saving sick thunderbolts, climbing thunderbolts, surveying sky thunderbolts and inspecting mines. There are twelve kinds of thunder: mine-catching, poisonous, harmful, mine-eliminating, mine-destroying, mine-catching, mine-killing, mine-destroying, mine-breaking, mine-controlling and mine-swinging. Thirty-six Lei Cao's criminal law lasted thirty-six days, and the punishment was executed on behalf of the day in strict accordance with the order of popularizing Buddha Lei in nine days. It is said that "Resbu's life is as fast as the wind and fire, and he can't stay long. There were spears and several thunders where it rained. It could be drought or rain. It must have been ordered by the emperor. "Yes, it is also said that nine days will be spent in thunder, and the Buddha is in charge of five thunder, ten thunder and thirty-six thunder. The five thunders are: heavenly thunder, my thunder, my thunder, divine thunder and social thunder. The ten thunders are: Imperial Surrey, Shenxiaolei, Dadong, Xiandu, Arctic, Taiyi, Zifu, Chen Yu, Taixiaolei and Taiji. The thirty-six thunderbolts are: Yushurui, Yufurui, Yuzhulei, Shangdong, Huolun, Guandou, Huo Feng, Feijie, Arctic, Wei Zixuan Tree, Shen Xiao, Xiandu, Taiyi, Zifu, Armored, Shaoyang, Huohuo, Snake Ridge Manlei and Dijia.
As for the origin of the nine-day thunder, there are three theories. The first is the theory of yuanshi county Tianzun Jiuziyu Muslim King. For example, in Lei Yu Jing, the ninth jade king of fulisenior was called. He turned Lei into a Buddha and ruled for 36 days, so he was called "Lei Wang". This theory can also be found in books such as Collected Taoist Scriptures, Nine Days, Yingyuan Thunder, Yesterday, Tianzun Yu Shubao Jing.
The second is the theory of the Yellow Emperor. For example, "Rebuilding the Integration of Weft Books" Volume 6 "The River Map Begins to Open" says: "The Yellow Emperor is named Xuanyuan, and the Beidou God is also named, starting from thunder." The same as the fourth volume of the Spring and Autumn Taicheng Map: "Xuanyuanxing, the God of Thunderstorms." "Historical Records of Justice" also said: "Xuanyuan Seventeen Stars, north of the Seven Stars, is the body of Huanglong, the god of thunderstorms." "The Mirror of Immortals in Past Dynasties" said in more detail: "The title of (Yellow Emperor) was nine days, and Ying Yuan's thunder turned into a true king. The god Lei Yufu, where he lives, walked 2300 miles to Leicheng in the blue sky and in the fan chess. Leicheng is eighty-one feet high, with Yu Shu's five thunder envoys on the left and Wang Mi's five thunder envoys on the right. There were thirty-six thunder drums before the real king, which were made by thirty-six gods. Every time it thunders, the real king personally thunders drums at the headquarters, and the thunder master immediately thunders. Lei Gong entered Razer and became a god. Li Mu is a master of thunder. Thirty-six thunder, all the ministers who assisted at that time.
The third is Wen Zhong's theory. This is because in the Romance of the Gods, when Jiang Ziya was deified, a surname Wen was named the Nine Gods, and 24 members of Lei Gong, including Deng Zhongxin, Jason and Tao Rong, performed the method of "urging clouds to help rain".
The above statement is closest to Taoism. For example, "Book of Rites IV in the Ming Dynasty" said: "The Taoist thought that thunder turned into Buddha in those years, and June 24th was the day when the Buddha appeared, so he sent officials to the Xianling Palace to offer sacrifices." In Taoism, there is also the thunder method of inviting Raytheon, which uses spells to catch ghosts, reduce demons and refine them to death, recruit gods to exorcise evil spirits, and urge clouds to beg for rain.
