1.2 The Origin and Evolution of Phoenix Worship
The origin of Phoenix is in the Neolithic Age. Many bird patterns on painted pottery in primitive society are the embryonic form of phoenix. About 7400 years ago, a white clay pot was unearthed at the Gaomiao Cultural Site in Hongjiang, Hunan. The neck and shoulders of the pot are printed with patterns of oriental birds (including animal faces and the sun), one facing forward and the other looking back. According to archaeological experts' appraisal, the phoenix pattern on this pottery is at least 400 years earlier than that found in Hemudu Cultural Site in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province, and it is the earliest phoenix pattern found in China so far.
According to myths and legends, the phoenix evolved from the bird totem of the Yin people in the East.
The earliest record of the Phoenix seen today may be in Shangshu? The article in Yiji. The book describes the celebration ceremony held by Dayu after the flood control. The music was hosted by Solanum nigrum, and birds and animals sang and danced at the ceremony. Finally, a phoenix came-"Little Shao Jiucheng, Feng Di came to the instrument." Kong Chuan said, "The male of Lingniao is also called Feng, and the female is also called Emperor. "Zheng Xuan's Note:" Yi is said to ride a horse. "We noticed that here, the phoenix was regarded as a bird symbolizing good luck by ancient families. The so-called "coming to the instrument" was interpreted by Zheng Xuan as "riding a horse".
[Note: The ancient sound of "one" is "Russia", which is close to the sound of "even". So Zheng Xuan interpreted musical instruments as "even", which means "in pairs". But according to the literal meaning of Shangshu, I think the word "qi" should be pronounced "dance" (qi and dance are also interlinked. ) Feng Laiyi, that is, Feng Dance. Therefore, I am happy to say: "Yu! Stone to stone, all animals dance together! " ]
In fact, in earlier pre-Qin literature, the phoenix appeared as an auspicious symbol and a dancing god. Shan Hai Jing? Nan Shanjing: "There is a bird that looks like a crane ... called Phoenix. ..... it's a bird, eating, drinking and having fun, singing and dancing, and seeing the world at peace. " "Phoenix sings and phoenix dances." (Wild West Classic) There are three kinds of colorful birds, one is the imperial bird and the other is the phoenix bird. "(Wild West Sutra)" Poetry? Volume 1: "Feng Huang Yu Fei, his feathers are also rich in the sky. ..... Yi, in Jeremy goldkorn. Wutong was born in the morning. Mao Zhuan: "The feather sound is also. Also, all the birds. All the birds come to the Phoenix Emperor. Phoenix and sheep spread the Phoenix Emperor to many people. Legend of the White Tiger says: At the time of the Yellow Emperor, there must be many phoenixes coming from the sun. "
The question we are facing now is, are all these legends about the phoenix just a myth or a possible historical truth? In other words, did the phoenix really have a real animal prototype in history? On this issue, just like the dragon's problem, the past academic views tend to be negative. However, we didn't notice that the following records were found in the Yin Ruins of Shang Dynasty in Oracle Bone Inscriptions (now Xiaotun area in Anyang):
"JiaYin bligh, hum net, phoenix. Bing Chen won five. " (A 3 1 12)。

Every 500 years, it will bear all the unhappiness and hatred accumulated in the world, throw itself into flames, set itself on fire, and exchange the end and beauty of life for peace and happiness in the world. It is also after the body has experienced great pain and tempering that they can be reborn with a better body. "
