(1) Orthodoxy

The Book of Shang preaches that Fuxi, Shennong, and the Yellow Emperor were the three oldest emperors in China. In the Han Dynasty, there were still three emperors among the gods, and at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the three emperors were the emperors, the emperors of the earth, and the emperors of people. In the Taoist classics, the three emperors are divided into three groups: the first three emperors also have human shapes; The middle three emperors have the body of a human-faced snake or a dragon; Among the three emperors, the head of the emperor is the snake body, that is, Fuxi, the head of the snake body of the emperor of the earth, that is, Nuwa, and the head of the head of the descendant Huangniu, that is, Shennong.

a, Shennong's

Shennong's (Emperor Yan): "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons every day, and got the solution." This is the record of "Shennong's Materia Medica". The story of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs is a legend that has been widely spread and has a great influence in ancient China. Shennong is the "Yan Emperor" of the three emperors and five emperors who are regarded as ancestors by the descendants of Yan and Huang of the Chinese nation, and is a representative figure of China's prehistoric ancestors. According to legend, Shennong is a bull-headed man, "Imperial Century" said: "Emperor Yan's body is a cow's head, longer than ginger water" "Emperor's Genealogy" says: "Shennong's cow's head", which may be the ancestors who have mastered farming technology at that time, for the image of Shennong as the "god of agriculture".

b, Chiyou

Chiyou: Chiyou is also a cow's head and hooves and has sharp horns. Ren Fang's "Narrative of Differences" recorded before: "Zhuolu is in Jizhou, and there is a god of Chiyou. The vulgar cloud body is a cow's hoof, with four eyes and six hands...... Qin and Han said that Chiyou's ears and temples are like swords and halberds. The head has horns, and Xuanyuan fights, and the horns are used to resist people, and people can't go. Today, Jizhou has a music name 'Chiyou Opera', and its people are two, two, three, three, and wear horns on their heads to offset each other. The Han Dynasty made the horn to resist the play, and covered its legacy". This all shows that the Chiyou people use cattle as their totem. After Chi You's death, he maintained great recognition from his hometown in Shandong to Yungui, Sichuan. It has become the source of Dongyi people's martial spirit and unruly style. Until the Warring States Period, the gods of heaven in the hearts of Qi people are the sky. The second is the ground, and the third is the soldier master Chiyou. Qin Shi Huang and Liu Bang both sacrificed to the god of war. The image of Chi You in the legend of "copper head and iron forehead, flying sand and stone", as well as the five kinds of weapons he held in battle, such as Ge, Zhen, halberd, chieftain spear, and Yi spear, seem to indicate that they are a nation that began to smelt metal very early. And according to the Miao people's "Chiyou Myth". The Yellow Emperor incarnated as "Lei Lao Wu" and called Chi You a brother and sister, learned medicine and bronze smelting technology, and deceived Chi You's copper plate axe by the way, which leveled the technological gap between each other and defeated the Chiyou tribe in one fell swoop.

(2) Civil

In China's long agrarian society, farmers had a great respect for cattle. They believe that if a person has a pair of "bull's eyes", then he will "fall without a difference from the wealth, and live a long and blessed life"; If a person grows into a "cow shape". Not only is it "a rare illness in life", but also "a blessing in life is indescribable." The face is strong and the heart is flat and the words are modest, if the pace is more slow and slow, the thousand warehouses accumulate rich pastoral," said the street fortune teller's "The Complete Compilation of Divine Appearances".

In the mythology of the Zhuang people, the ox is a god in the sky, and the bull demon king is a god in the sky, who sends the ox king to plant a hundred herbs, and then stays to eat grass and cultivate in the world. The eighth day of April every year is the birthday of the Ox King, which is the traditional "Ox Soul Festival" of the Zhuang people, and the Zhuang language is called "Den Kun Huai" (Genkunwai), and a very grand sacrificial activity is held.

In folklore, the bull-headed horse face is a famous soul messenger in Hades. In the ghost city of Xudu, as well as in the city god temples in various places, there are images of bull heads and horse faces. The bull's head comes from Buddhism. The bull's head is also called Apang, its shape is the bull's head human body, holding a steel fork, and the power can row the mountain. According to the "Iron City Mud Plough Sutra", "When Ah Pang was a human being, because he was not filial to his parents, he served as a bull-headed human body in the underworld after his death, serving as a patrol and searching for escaped sinners."

3. Minotaur

The image of the bull-headed human body appears in the myths of various human peoples, after all, the ox is one of the earliest totems of mankind, representing strength and abundance. In Homer's two epic poems that have survived to this day, an adjective is often used to describe gods and demigods on the battlefield, that is, "bull-eyed", which in some cases is equivalent to "beyond mortals". However, the Minotaur is not worthy of such praise, on the contrary, they are cursed evil creatures. Minotaur is a compound word, composed of minos for Minoan culture and Taurus for bull, literally translated as "the bull of Minos", where the word originated, anyone who has read Greek mythology knows: Crete's half-man, half-bull monster, twice the height of ordinary people, roared, can shake the whole city. It is the product of a cow sent by Poseidon, wife of King Minos of Crete (son of Zeus and Europa, who became one of the three judges of the underworld after his death), and has a human body and the head of a cow, and Minos built a labyrinth for it in Crete. Because Minos's son Androgeos was murdered in Attica, Minos raised an army to avenge his son, causing great disasters to the inhabitants there, in order to appease Minos's resentment and relieve the disaster in Athens, the Athenians sued Minos for peace, promising to send seven pairs of boys and girls to Crete every nine years as tribute, Minos received the boys and girls, and imprisoned them in the Cretan labyrinth where the half-man, half-bull monster Minotaur lived, and the Minotaur killed them. At the time of the third tribute, young Theseus came to Crete with the boys and girls who had been drawn by lot, and with the help of the Cretan princess Ariadne, who had a crush on the invincible hero, he broke the labyrinth with a ball of thread and slew the Minotaur with a sword she had given him.

Fourth, the confirmed half-orc race

On April 1, 2008, according to the British Daily Telegraph, a research team led by Professor Lyle Armstrong of Newcastle University successfully created the first human-animal hybrid embryos in Europe. They implanted nuclei extracted from human cells into cow egg cells with nuclei removed, and 99.9% of the genetic material in the resulting "cytoplasmic heterozygotes" was derived from humans. Less than 0.1% came from animals. The "cytoplasmic heterozygotes" survived for three days, and the fastest growing one contained thirty-two cells.

It can be seen that it is a creature that is half human and half beast. It's not really impossible. To paraphrase an advertising slogan, anything is possible. In recent years, some scholars have suggested that there may have been a time in the evolution of life when half-human, half-animal creatures appeared. These ideas come from some new discoveries in archaeology.

1. Little blacks

Small black features: no more than 11.2 meters, curly hair, broad mouth. He is short in stature, has a dark complexion, and curly hair.

According to Luo Guisheng in the 17th issue of the "Seeking Knowledge World" newspaper, "What kind of creatures are the two little blacks?" The article said: My family lives on the banks of the Li River in Guangxi, not far from Guilin, and I remember one day at noon in the mid-40s, the sun was shining. I was eating and playing with my rice bowl when I suddenly sat on the bench in the back of the house drying my shorts. Two "little black men" came out from under the cloth, they were about an inch high. Similar proportions to the human body. The whole body is carbon black, and he seems to be unclothed, and walks upright. They walked up to the center of the stool and stood facing me. I raised my chopsticks, and they all raised their hands in the air. The sun shines on their little fingers. I was so frightened that I picked up a rock and threw it at them, and then immediately ran back to the house and called the adults to come out and see, but the two "little black men" were nowhere to be found. I will never forget this event.

2. Hairy people

No more than 11.2 meters, hideous face, can speak human language, defenseless, laughs when you see people, can fly and jump on the number of weeds, leaves, bamboo branches, various fruits, small rodents, birds, insects and their egg pupa, etc.

It is recorded in the "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" volume 18 "Gu Listen to Zhi (4)": Jimusar's garrison soldiers once chased pheasants into the deep mountains, and saw that there seemed to be someone standing on the cliff, so they crossed the mountain stream and approached to see, the cliff was only four or five feet high from the ground, and I saw a human figure wearing a purple felt coat, with fluffy red hair on his face, hands and feet, which was more than an inch long, and there were four or five red-haired people sitting naked and facing each other to roast meat. They giggled when they saw them, and the pronunciation was neither Mongolian, nor Erut, nor Hui, nor Xifan. The tone is like the sound of a bird, and the chirping is difficult to distinguish. Looking at the shape of their expressions, it doesn't seem to be a youkai. The soldiers bowed down to them, and suddenly they threw something down the cliff, which turned out to be half a roasted wild donkey's leg. The soldiers bowed down in thanksgiving, and they waved their hands. The soldiers brought back the cooked donkey's leg and ate it for three or four days. Later, when they went there with the herders, there was no sign of the red-haired savage. So the soldiers guessed that their big roots were mountain gods.

3. Red-haired people

Characteristics of the red-haired family: about 1.62.2 meters tall, hairy all over the body, yellow skin, closing eyes and opening the mouth like a smile, and smiling when seeing people. High cheeks, deep eyes, long lips, many brownish-red hairs, eyes like people, big and small faces, mouth wider than human, mouth slightly protruding, ears larger, arms to waist, hands with big fingers long, long legs, thighs with thick bowl mouth, thin calves, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, short forelimbs, wide feet in front and narrow in back, feet are soft palms, silent walking, fat buttocks, no tail.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty said: "Its face is like a person, red and red, its hair is like a macaque, it has a tail, it can speak, it is like a bird's voice, and it leans on things when it sleeps." The hunter lures him with a bamboo tube through his arm, and when he laughs, he pulls his hand and nails his lips to his forehead with an awl, and waits for death to take it. ”

5. Snowman

"On the eastern edge of the Tien Shan province, on the territory of the Tien Shan province, there are barbarians living on the Arbs Mountains. They are hairless except for their faces, palms, and soles, and their bodies are covered with a thick layer of hair. They do not have a fixed habitat or cave, but roam the barren mountains and mountains, living on leaves and weeds. The full text of Hilterberg's report was later published in the journal of the Tunling Halléwat Society in 1879. The title is "John? Hilterberg 1396 13961427 Wanderings in Eurasia and Non-Slavery (translated from Heidelberg, 1859). Although his report does not mention Himalayan "snowmen", there is no clear evidence that these "wild men" are siblings or cousins of snowmen. However, since the report was written in 1427 and is of historical significance, Buga cites it.

6. Tailed people

The tail of the underground man is no more than 11.2 meters. Dwarfs discovered in recent times have evolved to be no more than 1.5 meters tall. Among them, the origin of the "dwarfs" and "tailed underground people" is likely to be the ancient "chaos clan", which originated in the "center" of the birthplace of the Miao people in prehistory. After the defeat of Chiyou and Yanhuang, they fled to the southwest region, Taiwan and Southeast Asia respectively, and brought rice cultivation technology with them. (To be continued......)
