The Seventh Age, Fuxi Salvation Chapter 4 Pro-government and Happy People

Emperor Fuxi left Nuwa Niangniang, he set out from Jiangshui, and along the way to promote his ideas to the people, teach his people to marry and marry, and establish an independent family unit.

On this day, Emperor Fuxi passed by a forest, and he heard the bustling sound of people in the forest. Out of curiosity, the Emperor walked deeper into the forest. When he came to a hillside, he was suddenly confronted by a wild boar, and the emperor hastened to dodge.

When the boar saw that there was someone in front of him, he rushed down the hill in a panic. However, the wild boar did not know that there was a cliff in front of him, and when it reached the edge of the cliff, it could not hold its foot, so it fell headlong.

Fortunately, the cliff was not high, so Emperor Fuxi slid down the wild vines on the edge of the cliff. The emperor saw that the wild boar was covered in blood, and he touched the wild boar, as if he had no snort. The emperor was just about to get up and call for someone, but out of nowhere, a lot of people appeared.

The Emperor stood up and said, "You have come just in time, this wild boar is dead, so carry it back to the tribe." ”

One of the men said with a fierce face, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? This is the wild boar we found, what are you rambling about here. ”

The emperor looked at him and said calmly: "My name is Fuxi, you may not know me. ”

I didn't want to, but the fierce man turned to laugh and said, "Fuxi? Oh! You're the Emperor Fuxi, right? Our chiefs often mention you and Nuwa Niangniang. ”

The Emperor was surprised and said, "How can you, who are far away from the mountains, still know us?" ”

The Great Han smiled stupidly: "Emperor, you are our emperor, Nuwa Niangniang is our emperor, of course we know." We are from the Dongshan tribe and live on the east side of this big mountain beam. My name is 'Stone', and these are our people. ”

The Emperor said, "Stone, you can carry this wild pig back." By the way, I'd like to pay a visit to your patriarch. ”

After thanking Emperor Fuxi, the stone had the boar tied with ropes, and they found some sticks to carry the boar back.

Suddenly, there was another noise of people, and I saw a lot of people rushing down the hillside on the other side. When they came here, they went up and snatched the boar, too, indiscriminately. When they saw that the stone was not good, they took the sticks and began to fight with the gang.

Emperor Fuxi saw that it was messed up, and he hurriedly stood on a big stone and shouted: "Children! Stop, stop! Listen to me, don't fight, for it will kill you. ”

Shi said aggrievedly: "Emperor Fuxi, you have also seen that the people of the Xishan clan are unreasonable, and they rob us of things. ”

In order to appease everyone as soon as possible, the Emperor shouted again: "Children! Stop, stop! Let me call the shots for you. ”

The people of the Xishan tribe may have heard the honorific title of Emperor Fuxi, and they also stopped fighting. It's just that a person also jumped out between them, and I saw that person said angrily: "You are the Emperor Fuxi?" Emperor, you can also give a comment, we found this wild boar on Hutou Mountain in the south. However, we wounded one of the pig's legs, but we allowed the boar to escape. The wild boar also injured a person because of this, we ran a long way, and chased all the way to kill, but still did not catch up with it, but I didn't expect to let the people of the Dongshan tribe rob it. ”

The Emperor said kindly: "Children, it stands to reason that both of you have a share in this wild boar. I think so, it's not easy for everyone to get wild boars, and it's a good thing for us to get wild boars, and it's best not to hurt the peace for such a thing. If you can trust me, I advise you to divide it. Let's think about it this way, even if everyone is invited to capture this wild boar together. Through the division of labor and cooperation, we have not only made friends, but also increased the friendship between tribes, so why not? ”

When Emperor Fuxi said this, everyone had no objections, and they clapped their hands together. The stone saw that the man of the Xishan tribe was carrying a wounded man, and then saw that the wild boar's leg was broken, and he believed what the man said even more.

Shi said embarrassedly: "Brother, since Emperor Fuxi said so, let's listen to the Emperor." Today, let's first carry this wild boar to the Xishan tribe to divide it, which can be regarded as a brother's trust in you. ”

The man was also embarrassed and said: "Brother, my name is 'Shanwa', we really don't know each other!" This time, let's carry this wild boar to the Dongshan tribe first. I see that you are not a bad person, and I have made this friend. ”

When the emperor saw that the two sides shook hands and made peace, he took the lead in applauding again. He said, "Children, let's go, let's all go to the Dongshan tribe." As soon as the emperor gave the order, everyone rushed to the Dongshan tribe.

It was already past noon, and seeing that the clansmen had not returned, the Dongshan patriarch had already been watching the mountain pass several times. Suddenly, they saw a group of men and horses from a distance, carrying a wild boar in a mighty way, and the patriarch led the women and children to quickly surround them.

Looking at some of the new faces in the ranks, the patriarch asked the stone what was going on. Shi first introduced Emperor Fuxi to the patriarch, and then told the patriarch what had happened. The patriarch was very happy to hear this, and she led her people to kowtow to Emperor Fuxi.

The patriarch said with sincere fear: "The little girl didn't know that the Emperor Fuxi the Great had arrived, and it was really an honor for the Emperor to come here. ”

The emperor said: "Patriarch, you don't have to be polite, I also have a heavy responsibility to come this time." ”

The patriarch said: "The emperor might as well come out and see, and the courtiers can see if they can help you?" ”

When the emperor saw that the mountain people were still kneeling, he smiled and said, "Children, please get up, you should disperse first!" ”

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, the emperor approached the patriarch again and said, "Patriarch, while the mountain people of the Xishan clan are also here this time, we might as well let the children exchange feelings, and if they are destined, we will let them be worthy of marriage." I suggest that in the future, our tribe will implement a marriage reform system, and treat the love between men and women as a normal marriage event. Let young men and women avoid their immediate families, encourage them to freely choose their marriage partners outside the world, and let them form their own families. that they may have their own desires, each one to love, and each to dependence. In this way, they become the earliest members of the independent family, and they also become the first generation of parents in the newly created small family. After they have children, their children are passed down from generation to generation according to the combination of their parents. In this way, they slowly become parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents in their own families------。 Their children also became sons and daughters, grandchildren, great-grandchildren------。 If there are several such stable family relationships in each big family tribe, it will be more conducive to the stable development of society, and it will be easier to form a good habit of elders loving and caring for their juniors and younger generations respecting their elders. ”

The patriarch listened attentively to Emperor Fuxi's lecture as if listening to a story. She said happily: "If the Emperor says this, our family tribe will be more hopeful, and the relationship between family members will definitely be closer. That way, maybe our people will be better governed, and that should be a good thing. ”

Emperor Fuxi praised the patriarch's wise choice very much, and he said: "Patriarch, our idea is good, it also depends on everyone's creation, see if the children have this intention." ”

As the Emperor and the others spoke, the stone ran in in a panic. He said: "Patriarch, just now I saw a few sisters following the young man of the Xishan clan ambiguously. They seem to be suspected of elopement, should we stop it? ”

The patriarch looked at the Great Emperor and said: "Stone, now there is the Great Emperor in charge, as long as the Great Emperor does not stop them, you can go with them, maybe this is called fate." ”

When the stone saw the emperor grinning, he already had an understanding. He was just about to retreat, but he turned around again and said, "Great Emperor, patriarch, now, we have divided that wild boar in half, we have kept one for ourselves, and the other share for the brothers of the Xishan clan to bring back, right?" ”

The Emperor said: "Stone, it's not too late. I want to show you a hand and give you a taste of my skills. I'll make a fire and use it, and now I'll teach you how to grill food. Let's roast the pork and eat it, it's going to be a delicious dish that you haven't tasted before. Today, wouldn't it be better for us to use roasted pork to entertain the guests of the Xishan tribe to dine together? After eating, it's not too late for you to send off the guests. ”

In the afternoon, everyone participated in a bonfire dinner. When everyone was full of food and drink, several pairs of men and women began to look at each other, and they secretly hid in the mountains and forests and fell in love. The patriarch was happy in her eyes, and she pretended not to care and let them secretly be tender and sweet.

The patriarch quietly stared at the pairs of young people, and she said to the emperor: "Emperor, you don't have to worry about it, the young man's heart is already known." Besides, these young men from the Xishan clan are not bad, and they have attracted us girls. ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Yes, since this method is good, tomorrow we will let the stone them go to the Xishan clan in the name of sending guests, and also go there to ask a few girls to come back, which can be regarded as the achievement of the family affairs of both parties at the same time." ”

The emperor and the patriarch originally wanted the young men of the Xishan clan to stay overnight, so that the young people could connect with each other. Who knows, in the evening, the stone and the mountain baby fought again, and the two of them had already beaten their heads and blood.

I saw the stone running with his head in his arms, and the blood stains on his face were fortunately covered with dry soil and the blood had solidified. He cried to the patriarch: "Emperor, patriarch, let's hurry up and let the mountain baby go." If they don't leave, they will take away the girl I like. I've been in love with that girl for a long time, and I won't agree to snatch her away. ”

The patriarch hurriedly comforted: "Stone, didn't I tell you just now? The people of our tribe can no longer marry their own sisters. Your relatives Emperor also has arrangements, and he plans to let you lead a team to escort the people of the Xishan Clan back tomorrow. When you lads get there, you will each choose the girl you like, and then bring it back to our tribe. When you return, the Emperor will preside over a ceremony for you, so that each of your lovers will tie the knot. ”

When Shi Shi heard this, he burst into tears and smiled: "Emperor, patriarch, are you saying that you allow us to go to the Xishan Clan and find someone we like to come back and marry, is this true?" ”

The Emperor smiled: "It's true! Stone, look at how handsome the young men of the Xishan clan are, I know that there is no mistake with the girls anywhere, and they must be very beautiful. This time, you go and pick the best girl to come back, we are all waiting for your good news. ”

The next day, Stone led the team out. A few days later, they also brought back their favorite girl from the Xishan Clan. When the emperor saw that the love affair of several pairs of young people had matured, he asked the patriarch of the Dongshan clan to invite the patriarch of the Xishan clan and the clansmen to come over. Then, the emperor personally presided over the marriage ceremony for these young people.

Since the beginning of the form of male marriage and female marriage, people all over the world have begun to follow suit. Under the call of Emperor Fuxi, everyone vigorously advocated the love of men and women, and each looked for a favorite partner, and the monogamous young couples were more affectionate. The love nest of lovers was born on the basis of the big family, and the small families also lived separately, and the whole society was more harmonious.

Emperor Fuxi finally completed another big thing, he saw that people's concept of marriage was more free and unrestrained, so everyone formed a family, each family has children to bear the joy of the knee, the family also laughed constantly, its happiness, the emperor's heart is extremely gratified.

When Emperor Fuxi traveled all over the world, he often thought of some things. One day, he came to a place and found people there tying knots, so he asked them what they were doing with knots.

The man who tied the knot said, "Friend, don't you understand the use of this knot?" We often use knots to count, and we often use knots to record important things that have happened. If we didn't have this knotted rope counting and remembering, I'm afraid we would have forgotten a lot of things. ”

No, the emperor asked rhetorically: "Friend, I know that this knot can count and remember. But you have tied so many knots on this rope, do you remember what was recorded in each knot? ”

The man shook his head and said, "Friend, I really told you to say it, because it's been so long, I really don't remember what they recorded?" ”

The Emperor smiled: "Friend, let's just say, we should find a better way to replace this knotted rope note." ”

The man looked at the Emperor blankly and said, "So, do you have any good methods?" ”

The Emperor said coldly: "No, but I have an idea, that is, to use a kind of demarcation, so that it can show the actual meaning we want to express in our hearts. ”

The man said with a slight sarcasm: "Friend, you can only talk, maybe you can't make such a thing, isn't this talking empty words to fool people?" ”

Emperor Fuxi wanted to give some guidance, but he didn't expect to be a little embarrassed by that person. He said embarrassedly: "Friend, why don't you trust people, why don't I show you?" ”

The man seemed to really want to see a joke, and he said coldly, "Do it!" I'm going to see what you do to fool me. ”

This sentence angered the emperor. The Emperor had already picked up a stone with sharp corners on the ground, and he first smoothed out a piece of the ground with his hands. Then the Emperor looked at a small tree beside him, and he paddled on it. I saw the emperor make three strokes on the ground, and then drew something like a tree.

The Emperor laughed and said, "Let me tell you, this one I painted is called 'Tree'." ”

The man looked crooked and nodded. The emperor was a little happy in his heart, and he looked at the mountain in the distance again, and then smoothed the dust on the ground again, and rowed according to the mountain. In a short time, the shape of a large mountain appeared on the ground.

This time, the emperor said proudly: "Look, this is called 'mountain'." ”

The man looked a little unconvinced, he glanced at a small river beside him, and found that the river was not easy to draw, so he said, "How about you paddling the water in this river?" ”

The Emperor sneered: "This doesn't bother me,"

Emperor Fuxi drew a few lines, but he always felt a little unapproachable. He looked at the river again, and at this moment the mountain wind blew, and the treetops by the river suddenly floated, and the river blew ripples layer after layer, and the ripples spread out forward. The Emperor smiled knowingly, and a water-shaped picture leaped to the ground.

This time, the emperor said with some pride: "Friend, this is like the 'water' of this river, right?" ”

When the man saw that the emperor could not be overcome, he gave him another problem. The man looked around at the static stuff and thought, how can I be embarrassed for him? As soon as the man looked up, a big bird happened to fly through the sky, and the man secretly thought of an idea.

I saw the man sneering: "Friend, do you see that big bird in the sky?" I think you'll just scratch it first. ”

However, before Emperor Fuxi could see clearly, the big bird had already flown away. The emperor had no choice but to apologize: "Friend, it's not that I don't row this time, it's that I don't see what that bird looks like at all." Once you see what it looks like, I'll show it to you. ”

The man said as if he regretted: "If you can't see clearly, you can't see clearly, and you don't need to make any excuses." I see, you should have seen the sheep drinking by the river, right? You're going to paddle the sheep, right? ”

Emperor Fuxi smiled bitterly and said, "You will really convict me, I can definitely mark out anything you can see clearly." ”

The Emperor looked up at the sheep, and saw that the sheep had drunk enough water and was bleating with its neck raised. The sheep was very strong, and it had two large horns on its head, and the two large horns were evenly bent to the sides, and its front legs naturally stood upright, as if the same beautiful fairy had descended to earth. When the emperor saw this, he already understood it, and he drew out the sheep with only a few strokes.

After rowing the sheep, the man reluctantly nodded again. He said, "Even if it's very similar." ”

The emperor said angrily: "Look at what you said, what is called even if it is like, this sheep I am indeed very similar, you can't bury my achievements." ”

When the man saw that the emperor was anxious, he laughed and said, "Friend, don't be angry, you are indeed very similar, I said no, I was joking with you." Can you teach me so smart? I'd love to be friends with you right now. ”

When the emperor heard him say this, he smiled and said: "I like to use my brain, and I have long found that there are many shortcomings in knotting ropes, so I have been thinking about ways to improve them in my daily life." By observing the shapes and expressions of all things in heaven and earth, I also keep in mind all things in heaven and earth. Therefore, I want to use this form of symbols to express my true understanding of the nature of heaven and earth. ”

The man said, "That's a good idea, but people and things need a name, and the one you drew must have a name, right?" ”

The Emperor thought for a moment and said, "These things are a form of language expression that represents the shape of language, and it must be created one by one according to the specific image of the object. These pictograms we have created are also my precious children, and I want to give them a fitting name. Because I ask that the things I create must be called like anything, so I always call them 'hieroglyphs'. Their individuality, let's call it 'Wen' or 'Zi'. ”

From then on, Emperor Fuxi observed the things around him more closely. He also made it a career to paint hieroglyphs everywhere, and he was almost obsessed with it. The people of the world are also deeply influenced by the land of Fuxi the Great, they start from the simplest knotted rope memory, from blind ignorance, and gradually learn to draw symbols and make characters on the ground.

Through many experiments, in the end, the hieroglyphs created by Emperor Fuxi finally have mountain shapes, water has water samples, and birds and beasts are alive and well. It wasn't until the text symbols drawn by Emperor Fuxi became more vivid, and these hieroglyphs basically had special functions, and it was finally able to express the emotions of human language as much as possible, and the hieroglyphs became more mature. In order to better preserve them, people have engraved hieroglyphs on various carriers such as mountain rocks and animal bones, and used them as a way to enhance their memory.
