The Origin of Classical Chinese in Xingtian

1. Hmm ~ Who can tell me where there is a story about Xingtian, the ancient god of war in China, and the characters in ancient myths and legends in China?

Also known as Xingtian. According to Shan Hai Jing Overseas Western Classics, it is recorded that "Xing Tian contended with the Emperor of Heaven, who beheaded him and buried him in yangshan.

It is the stars and the sky that dance together with breasts as their eyes and umbilical cord as their mouth. Therefore, Xingtian is often praised as an unyielding hero by later generations.

Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote the poem "Reading the Classics of Mountains and Seas": "Let's dance together in the fields, and aim at the constant." That is, chanting this matter, borrowing ambition.

Myth and legend-Xingtian dancer Xingtian was originally a nameless giant. Because he was competing with the Yellow Emperor for the throne, he was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor. This is called Xingtian. The name "Xingtian" means: heaven and earth; Those who punish will be slaughtered.

The Emperor of Heaven is the Emperor of Heaven, and "promoting heaven" means vowing to kill the Emperor of Heaven for revenge. When Emperor Yan was the emperor who ruled the universe, Xingtian was the minister under Emperor Yan.

He loved music all his life. He wrote music "Liv" and poetry "Harvest" for Emperor Yan, with the total name "Bumou" to praise the happy life of the people at that time. Later, Emperor Yan was overthrown by the Yellow Emperor and relegated to the south, becoming the Little Emperor of Heaven. Although Emperor Yan swallowed his pride and dared not fight the Yellow Emperor, his descendants and men were not convinced.

When Chiyou rose up against the Yellow Emperor, Xingtian also wanted to take part in the war, but failed because of Yan Di's resolute stop. Chiyou and Huangdi lost the first world war, and Chiyou was killed. Xingtian could no longer hold back his anger, secretly left Nantian and went straight to the central heaven to compete with the Yellow Emperor.

Xingtian, with a rectangular shield in his left hand and a shiny axe in his right hand, went all the way through, cut down the Tianmen and went straight to the palace of the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor led ministers to watch fairies dance in the palace. He flew into a rage when he saw Xingtian waving a shield and axe to kill the generals. He picked up his sword and fought with Xingtian.

The two men split their knives and axes and killed them from the palace to the outside of the city, from the sky to the underground and straight to Changyang Mountain. Often Yangshan is the place where Emperor Yan was born. Not far north, Xuanyuan is the birthplace of the Yellow Emperor.

Xuanyuanguo's face is snake-shaped, and his tail is wrapped around his head. Both enemies went to their hometown, so the battle was particularly fierce.

Xingtian thought the world belonged to Emperor Yan, and now you stole it. I must get it back. The yellow emperor thought, now the world is at peace, and my descendants of Xuanyuan are prosperous, so I can't let others get their hands on them.

So everyone tried their best to kill each other. After all, the Yellow Emperor is a battle-hardened veteran. Xuan Nv taught the art of war for nine days, so he was more careful than Xingtian. Flexion made a flaw, and the sword was cut on Xingtian's neck, only to hear a "click". The huge head of Xingtian, like a hill, rolled down from its neck and landed at the foot of Changyang Mountain.

As soon as Xingtian touched his neck and lost his head, he immediately panicked. He moved the axe to his left hand holding the shield and stretched out his right hand to grope and scratch on the ground. He wanted to find his unyielding head, put it around his neck and fight the Yellow Emperor again.

He touched and touched, and he touched all the valleys around him. The towering trees and protruding rocks were all broken and collapsed under the touch of his right hand, but the head was still not found. He just touched it in the distance, but his head was at the foot of the mountain not far from him.

The Yellow Emperor was afraid that Xingtian really touched his head, so he returned to normal and turned against him again. He hurriedly raised his sword and gave Changyangshan a hard chop. With the loud noise of "Bang" and "Hua La", Changyang Mountain was split in half, and Xingtian's huge head fell into the mountain, and the two mountains merged into one, burying Xingtian's head deeply. Hearing this strange sound and feeling the strange changes around him, Xingtian stopped groping for his head.

He knew that the vicious Yellow Emperor had buried his head and he would be beheaded forever. He stood there like a dark mountain.

Imagine the yellow emperor's triumphant appearance, and imagine that his wish has not come true. He was angry.

He didn't want to be defeated by the Yellow Emperor. Suddenly, with a shield and an axe in his hand, he chopped and danced towards the sky and continued to fight to the death with the invisible enemy.

What a spectacular scene! Xingtian, who lost his mind, hugged his upper body tightly, as if his breasts were his eyes, his navel was his mouth and his body was his head. The "eyes" of those two breasts seemed to spit out angry flames, and the round navel seemed to curse with hatred. The head of that body is as solid as a mountain, and the axe and shield with both hands are so powerful.

Looking at the headless starry sky still waving the shield axe angrily, the Yellow Emperor felt a thrill in his heart and was involuntarily afraid. He dared not punish the world any more and sneaked back to heaven.

The beheaded Xingtian is still near Changyang Mountain, waving his weapon. Thousands of years later, Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Jin Dynasty, wrote a poem in Reading the Classics of Mountains and Seas, saying, "A subtle guard will fill the sea.

Xingtian waved a shield axe, and a resolute battle continued. The same thing has no class, no regrets.

Just set in the heart of the past, its moments of beauty are waiting for you! ",praised Xingtian although failed, still fighting spirit. The word "dry" in the poem is a shield, and "qi" means an axe.

The sky symbolizes a spirit: erin brockovich! In the historical materials recorded by Oracle Bone Inscriptions and inscriptions on bronze, Xingtian is a humanoid symbol, a symbol totem of clans and tribes. Xingtian was the unknown god of the Chinese nation, and was called "Xingtian" after being beheaded.

In Shan Hai Jing, Dai was called "Xingtian", and the name of "Xingtian" was thought to have been changed by Tao Yuanming. According to Tao Jingjie's poem Shan Hai Jing quoted from Taiping Yulan, "Xing Tian" means "physically disabled", but it may have been wrongly copied, with the words "Xing Tian Dance as a tribute" and "Yao Xing is not a thousand years old". For thousands of years, scholars have been arguing whether Tao Yuanming used "Xing Tian" or "Yao Xing". Hong Zeng in the Northern Song Dynasty said that "Yao Xing has no chitose" is correct, but Zhou Bida in the Southern Song Dynasty retorted that "Yao Xing has no chitose" is illogical in poetry, so "dancing for pleasure" is correct.

However, in the Qing Dynasty, Tao Shu tended to Hong Zeng's theory. During the Republic of China and the Republic of China, Lu Xun and Guo Moruo thought that "Yao Xing" and "Xingtian" could not reach this meaning, so they used "Xingtian". In later generations, Xingtian became a symbol of a brave soldier, and was compared to the god of fighting by past dynasties.

Thousands of years later, the Jin Dynasty.

2. Xingtian's full-text translation of "Shan Hai Jing Overseas Xijing": "Xingtian has been fighting with the emperor so far, and the emperor has broken his head and buried yangshan; It is based on the chest and the navel as the mouth, and dances. "

Xingtian is a trusted minister of Yan Di. Since Yan Di was defeated by Han Quan, Xingtian has been living in the south. However, Xingtian is not willing to fail. With an axe and shield in his hand, he went straight to the palace gate of the central emperor. The Yellow Emperor himself went into battle, and both sides were killed in the dark. Xingtian finally lost and was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor buried his head in Changyang Mountain. Xingtian, who has no head, suddenly stood up again, regarded the two * * * in his chest as a pair of eyes, regarded his navel as his mouth, held a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right hand, slashing at the sky and fighting.

3. Xingtian, the god of war, introduced Xingtian as a headless giant in pre-Qin dramas, which appeared in Shan Hai Jing and Oracle bones, and also appeared in imperial reading materials during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Xingtian fought against Emperor Huang. Di cut off his head and buried it in Changyang Mountain. However, Xingtian continued to fight with spears and shields with his chest as his eyes and navel as his mouth.

According to Oracle bone inscriptions, in ancient times, the giant Xíng Tiān was originally a follower of Emperor Yan. After Huangdi defeated Yandi in the Battle of Half Spring, Xíng Tiān followed his master to exile in the south. At this time, the giant has no name.

After the Yellow Emperor defeated and executed Chiyou, Xin Qiji took an axe and a shield (some described it as a sword) to fight against the Yellow Emperor. He forced his way into the south gate of Heaven and challenged the Yellow Emperor to a duel.

The Yellow Emperor camel went forward and launched a fierce bat battle with the fiend, sword against axe, all the way down to Changyang Mountain. In the final blow, the Yellow Emperor distracted his opponent with tricks and then dashed forward. And beheaded in an instant, and its head rolled all the way down the mountain, giving a thunderous roar.

Xing tiān didn't die, but was able to move on and began to grope for his head. Huang Diju struck the mountain with his sword. The mountain split, the head rolled in, and the mountain closed again.

Xíng Tiān gave up looking for a head, and turned to the nipple as an invisible eye and the navel as an unopened mouth. He began to attack crazily, resulting in the saying: "Xingtian's dance is a matter of unity, and its fierce ambition is always there." There, the headless giant got his name, which means "the man with his head cut off".

I hope I can help you.

4. Seeking: The Book with Zhu is a letter written by Wu Jun in the Southern Dynasties to his friends describing his travels, and some selected books also wrote it as the Book with Song.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties were the times when emperors and nobles dominated the literary world. Most writers cater to the purport of the ruling class and cover up the emptiness and poverty of the content in a gorgeous and delicate form. Parallel prose, which paid special attention to formal beauty, was naturally influenced by prose at that time. This is one of the earliest famous myths in China, which tells the story of Kuafu chasing the sun and sleeping in the Yuyuan Garden. Kuafu, a giant in ancient myths and legends, is a descendant of Hou Di, the Pluto, who lives in the Tianshan Mountains in Chengdu, the Great Northern Wilderness.

He has two yellow snakes in his ear and two yellow snakes in his hand, chasing the sun. When he arrived in Yugu, the sun was about to set, and he felt thirsty, so he went to drink water from the Yellow River and Weihe River. After he drained the river, his thirst still didn't stop.

He wanted to drink the water from northern osawa, but before he got there, he died of thirst. Kuafu threw away his walking stick when he died, and it suddenly turned into a peach grove full of fresh fruits to quench his thirst for those who later pursued the light.

Kuafu's myth of chasing the sun reflects the spirit of ancient people's competition with nature. Shan Hai Jing recorded this myth, saying that he "overreached himself", but Tao Qian of Jin Dynasty praised "Kuafu's birthday as a race against Japan".

Kuafu's fairy tales are mainly found in Shan Hai Jing, Overseas North Jing and Wild North Jing. Liezi Tang Wen slightly differs in the details of changing a walking stick into a peach grove, saying that Kuafu "abandoned the walking stick to soak the corpse and paste the meat, and gave birth to Deng Lin".

As for Deng Lin, according to the textual research of Bi Yuan in Qing Dynasty, Deng is closely related to Tao Yin, and Deng Lin is the Taolin of "Kuafu Mountain, Zhi Tao Forest in the North" as mentioned in Shan Hai Jing. Kuafu and Hao Yixing are called Qinshan, which is connected with Taihua and located in Lingbao County, Henan Province.

There are still some places where the descendants are famous for their "Kuafu", and there are many legends related to Kuafu's pursuit of Japan. [Edit this paragraph] Kuafu, a famous ancient Chinese writer in China, drove from Japan to Japan; Thirst, desire to drink, drink in the river, Wei; He, Wei and Bei drink Ozawa.

Before he arrived, he died of thirst. Abandoned his staff and became Deng Lin.

[Edit this paragraph] refers to Shangshu? Yao Dian: "Divide your life into harmony, live in the west, talk about the valley of ignorance, collect the yang with yin, equalize the rank in the west, and in the night sky, Zhong Qiu with yin". "Welcome to Japan" means "enter Japan".

Historical records? Biography of Five Emperors is being written as "Entering Japan". Accepting the sun is a ceremony of "Yin Zhongqiu", and it is also of practical significance to observe the length of the shadow at the autumnal equinox.

The biography of the Five Emperors says "Mid-Autumn is righteous", which is what it means. There are many records of Oracle Bone Inscriptions's "going out of Japan" and "entering Japan" (or "going in and out of Japan" in Shang Dynasty).

According to Mr. Song Zhenhao's textual research, the following matters are closely related to this article: (1) Oracle Bone Inscriptions's departure from Japan has the same meaning as that of "Yin Bin's departure from Japan" and "Yin Ju's arrival from Japan" in the Pharmacopoeia, and they are both sacrificial ceremonies. At the same time, they are similar to the sacrifices of future generations on the stage, and they are the four seasons and four directions for measuring the sun shadow sequence. (2) The Shang Dynasty's "going out to Japan" and "entering Japan" all had fixed dates and places. Usually held in the relevant months of spring and autumn.

Oracle Bone Inscriptions said that "Sunrise" was in Yu Di, which is the same as that of Yu Yi in Yaodian. [Edit this paragraph] Idiom Central Word: Kuā f ǔ zhuri: Kuā f ǔ zhuri: Kuafu: the name in ancient legends.

Kuafu chased after the sun desperately. Metaphorically speaking, people are ambitious, but also metaphorically speaking, they are overreaching.

Source: Shan Hai Jing Overseas North Jing Synonym: Kuafu chasing the sun, overreaching usage: as an object, attributive; The metaphor of ambitious people is also described as overreaching. For example, in the Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, Master Cheng ignored the Taoist priest's thoughts about Xia: "If you really say ~, you will die of thirst."

This myth comes from "Huai Nan Zi Lan Ming Xun", and the full text is as follows: the four poles in ancient times were abolished, Kyushu was divided, and the sky was not covered, and the ground was not contained; Fire is lingering, water is endless, animals eat people, and birds catch the old and weak. So Nu Wa refined five-colored stones to fill the sky, broke Ao Bai's four poles, killed the black dragon to help Jizhou, and accumulated reed ashes.

Tianbu, four poles are positive; * * * dry, Jizhou Ping; The death of cunning insects is beneficial to people's livelihood. [Edit this paragraph] Idiom-Goddess mending the sky Idiom: Goddess mending the sky Goddess mending the sky Illustration says: Fairy story, Fuxi's sister Nu Wa refined five-color stone mending the sky.

Describe the majestic spirit and fearless struggle spirit of transforming heaven and earth. Source: Liu An of the Western Han Dynasty "Huai Nan Zi Lan Mingxun": "So Nuwa refined five-color stones to make up the sky."

Usage: subject-predicate type; As subject and attribute; Describe the grandeur of transforming heaven and earth. Example: Legend has it that the rain flower stone is a stone left by ~.

[Edit this paragraph] Related records: Before Nu Wa made people, she made chickens on the first day of the first month, dogs on the second day, sheep on the third day, pigs on the fourth day and horses on the sixth day. On the seventh day, Nu Wa made a small clay figurine out of loess and water according to her own appearance. She made batch after batch, which was too slow. In order to make human beings pass on forever, she created a wedding ceremony, acted as a matchmaker herself, let people know the method of "making people" and carry on the family line by her own strength.

Another legend, unique, is that Nu Wa and Fuxi are brother and sister. At the beginning of the universe, there were only two brothers and sisters between heaven and earth. At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, there was no one else in the world.

I want to be husband and wife, but I am ashamed. My brother and sister immediately went to Kunlun Mountain and cursed: "If God agrees that my brother and sister are husband and wife, please gather all the clouds in the sky or disperse them.

So the clouds in the sky immediately closed, and they became husband and wife, and the Chinese nation was their descendants. In the Romance of Customs, there is a saying that Nu Wa created man. Wherever there is a visitor to Wo Temple, the custom of coming to Wo Temple to beg for children prevails.

Although there is no scientific basis, it is permeated with a primitive reproductive worship culture. In primitive times, tribal wars were cruel and frequent, all of which depended on human confrontation, with many deaths.

Therefore, people expect women to have a large number of children, so that the clan can prosper and avoid the fate of extinction. As a result, the "goddess of mending the sky" came into being.

In the myth of "Goddess of Mending Heaven", the sky fabricated by Nu Wa is the sky above her head; The ground you support is the ground under your feet; What is created is the peaceful existence of mankind.
