Chapter 308: The Source of the Dao Law (4)

Ge Hong nodded solemnly, affirmed Bao Gu's thoughts, and then said: "You are only half right, it is true that someone brought this kind of writing out (the ancients at that time also had a certain understanding of the oracle bone inscription, because after the fall of the Yin Shang Dynasty, when the Zhou Dynasty arose, the oracle bone inscription was also used for a period of time, it is the earliest known systematic form of writing in China, it inherits the original carved symbols, and the bronze inscription is the key form of the development of Chinese characters, so the ancients could not have discovered it until the Qing Dynasty!). The reason for this is that it is because of several wars and wars in China, which led to the loss of records is the correct solution)! ”

"I don't really understand what you said, you can talk about it carefully!"

"I mean, there should have been a person who was familiar with this earliest and self-contained writing at that time, and then this person fled from Yin Shang for some reason, after all, early writing is such a thing, and the upper nobles who are not the ruling class are absolutely not allowed to learn it, just like we are now, Han Shi has no chance to advance at all, and this kind of writing is also firmly controlled by the upper ruling aristocracy!"

"Well, you have a point, and then what?!"

"If you think about it again, all the ruling class must have sacrifices to ask God for divination, and if you want to make sacrifices, you must have a system that has been passed down from ancient times, otherwise how can you communicate with the heavens, and how can you prove the sacredness of the ruling class? Since the ruling class has the guidance of God, the people will naturally follow, and then in the process of the development of this sacrificial system, the wise upper rulers will continue to absorb the various early worship beliefs of the people, and constantly improve and change, so that this kind of sacrificial system that integrates the upper and lower classes will be more convincing and sacred! ”

"What you said, I seem to understand a little, you mean that our current Taoism, Fangshi, Immortal Family, and the folk beliefs such as the Five Immortal Gates mentioned by the little girl before actually originated from one family!"

"Miss Bao, you're so smart, that's what I mean!"

"Hmph, I'm naturally Bing Xue smart, I don't need to say this, but, from your point of view, why did this ancient magic become so fragmented (all the judges should understand why I want to quote a fragment of Luo Guanzhong's novel when they see this, yes, it is to say that the original source of magic should have evolved from a systematic text!) I am going to great lengths to talk about this now, but also to establish some of my own mythological system in the article in the future, after all, this article will continue to spread in the future, and the confrontation and integration between Buddhism and Taoism, as well as between other religions, many things really cannot be fully explained by science)?"

Ge Hong didn't answer Aunt Bao's question immediately, but smiled at her pretending to be mysterious!

"Ahh I understand, I understand, are you saying that this wordless book of heaven has been scattered all over the world because of the passage of time or the changes of war! ”

"Clever! It was precisely because of the collapse of the sacrificial system of the Shang Dynasty that these words were given the opportunity to circulate on a large scale! ”

"Wait, I actually have some questions, why do you say it is the Shang Dynasty, and what does the Nine Heavens Xuannu you said before have to do with the Shang Dynasty?"

"The Nine Heavens Xuannu is actually the Xuannu, that is, the Xuanniao, and the totem of the merchant!"

"You mean, the original body of the legendary Nine Heavens Xuannu is actually a kind of tribal totem?! A totem with a bird's body and a human face?! ”

"Yes, and the tribe that owns this totem is the early ancestor of the merchants!"

"What you said is not impossible, but I heard that the ancestor of the merchant lived in the Central Plains (roughly in the Yaoshun period, living in the Shangqiu area of Henan), and the Yellow Emperor fought Chiyou in the area of Zhuo County (the historical Zhuo County is located in the central part of Hebei Province, located in the Beijing, Tianjin, and Bao triangle area, and is the "south gate" of the capital Beijing), and most of the southern tribes, and even the current Central Plains tribes, also obey Chiyou, so, I think you are mistaken? Ge Hong! You must know that if there is one key point in the so-called deduction that is wrong, it will all be wrong! ”

"Absolutely not wrong, the ancestors of the merchant are Qixing in Yao Shun, the history of "Qi and Zuo Yu to control the water meritorious", Shun sealed him in Shang, that is to say, they moved from the north, and whether the Xuannu tribe really built a guide car, I personally think it is possible, because there are three elements they can meet, first of all, they must be familiar with the local geography, as well as astronomy, to understand astronomy, you must have words and mathematics, and to be familiar with geography, and even have a way to deal with the local environment means that they have lived there for a long time, you knowAt that time, the language of various places was not understood, and it was impossible to learn much from other tribes in a short period of time! So the merchant should have been in the north in the early days! ”

Bao Gu pondered for a long time, although she didn't have much interest in where the merchant lived in the early days, but this might really be related to what Ge Hong was going to say next, so she still listened carefully and didn't say anything.

"Therefore, the Xuannu tribe, that is, the ancestor of the merchants, it is possible to create a guide car to help the Yellow Emperor defeat Chiyou, and the development of writing must have a sacrificial system!"

"Well, I also understand when you said this, your guess should be right, this merchant tribe is indeed very mysterious, and it can have such high achievements in writing and mathematics in the ancient mythological period!"

"You believe what I say, so I'm pretty sure that after the Shang Dynasty was established, the merchant perfected his sacrificial system, and when Shang died, his sacrificial system also collapsed, or the secrets of these words owned by the merchants before this were dispersed, and other civilizations that had these words, such as Zhou, Yong, Lu, Shu and other tribes (during the battle of Muye, the history recorded the names of some tribes united with the Zhou army, they were: Yong, Lu, Peng, Pu, Shu, Qiang, Wei, Ji and other tribes, The total number of coalition troops is 45,000), they should have also learned these words that were originally controlled by merchants, and they can quickly become stronger! ”

"What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that although the Shang Dynasty eventually fell, his writing was preserved, and the sacrificial system that spread out from the merchants became fragmented, and the inheritance of the various tribes was incomplete, and it is more likely that while absorbing the inheritance, they abandoned and changed the sacrificial system of many merchants according to the original beliefs of their own tribes, which directly led to the fact that the Taoist system inherited by our various families and factions spoke their own words and was chaotic! Not to mention those spells and schools of exile among the people, they should all originate from the sacrificial system of merchants, because only merchants have the earliest writing (so far all the archaeology has not found a trace of writing in the Xia Dynasty, so the myth says that the Yellow Emperor is a disciple of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, that is, the Yellow Emperor once learned from the merchant tribe, which makes sense, because at that time, only merchants had systematic and systematic writing, and the achievements of all aspects of nature could be preserved, and not because of the death of a person and even his experience disappeared, so, With such a systematic writing, all kinds of life experiences and sciences, and even the valuable knowledge of other ethnic groups can be passed on and developed)! ”

"As soon as you say this, I also believe that all the spells of all the families and factions in the world now, witch Gu (when it was recorded that the Yellow Emperor learned talismans, he mentioned the use of insects, of course, now it is mainly the Miao family and other young people who have witchcraft skills), as well as Grandma Taishan, the Nine Heavens Xuannu, the Five Great Immortal Gates and other beliefs should all originate from the sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty!"

"Yes, if we can find the Shang Dynasty Wordless Heavenly Book that records all the complete systems (the so-called wordless characters can also be understood as characters that we don't know at all), we can reorganize the true Taoist system that we have lost!"
