The Eleventh Period, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Chapter VII Xi and Changxi

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother had something to go to the outside of the world, so they asked Emperor Fuxi to take charge of the affairs of the Three Realms. Because the emperor was used to idleness, he didn't bother to worry about that heart anymore, so he let one of his sons, "Emperor Jun", temporarily act as the emperor of heaven.

Although Di Jun is called Di Jun, he is not handsome. He had the head of a phoenix, and on his head there were two horns, and his body was a little crooked, and he walked like an orangutan swaying.

Although Di Jun looks like this, his glamorous fortune is still not shallow, and he has been favored by the two heavenly immortals. Di Jun successively married two beautiful fairy wives. These two immortal wives are two sisters, and they are both daughters of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Dijun's first wife was called "Xihe". Xihe's skin was red, Xihe's cheeks were ruddy, her hair was blonde, her eyes were bright, and she was shining brightly.

Xihe is a beautiful "sun goddess", she wears a pair of Tongyun shoes made of red clouds, and she wears a gorgeous dress made of red clouds. She walks cheerfully and smoothly, and there is always a beautiful aura around her with the golden light of Ruili.

Between the southeast coast and Ganshui, there is a golden land overflowing with "the land of the sun". Xihe lives in a splendid "Riyu Palace" in the country of Rixi, which is located on the beautiful "Tiantai Mountain".

This Tiantai Mountain is also the place where Nuwa Niangniang made stones to mend the sky, it is surrounded by beautiful golden sand beaches, and the blue water flows into this beautiful mountain from the southeast sea every day. There are some tall hibiscus trees in the mountains, and there is a hot spring called "Ganbuchi" in the mountains.

Xihe is a lively and enthusiastic person, she is enthusiastic about others, and she takes care of Dijun with great affection. Soon after they got married, they had sons of their own, and they had a total of ten sons.

Xihe's ten sons are not ordinary, they have a golden body, a golden bright head, and golden Yaoyao's wings, they are the "golden crows" known as golden-winged birds.

Whenever the mist clears and the morning light comes, Xihe wakes up her children early. Every day, without waiting for the red sun to erupt, Xihe first set up the dragon chariot for his ten sons. Then, she followed the sun in the chariot driven by the sons of the golden crow.

Xi and them set out from Qu'a, and when the sun rose, they followed the sun all the way. They ran until noon, sweating profusely and soaking wet. They then ran to the west mountain at sunset, and it was not until dusk that they came to the Menggu "Yu Yuan" in the West Kunlun Mountain.

Then, Xi and them took advantage of the moonlight to rush back to Tanggu. In the warm Ganyuan soup spring, Xihe helped the children wash away the dust of the day. It wasn't until they had done all this that they stopped to rest. And so it goes, day after day, year after year, without stopping.

Chang Xi is another wife of Di Jun. Her beauty is even more stunning. Chang Xi is beautiful and charming, her face is as white as jade, her hair is soft and flowing like snow, and her eyes are beautiful and shining like silver.

Chang Xi is a "moon goddess" who is as white as snow, she wears a pair of crystal shoes made of ice crystals, and she wears an edelweiss dress made of white clouds. She was wrapped from head to toe in a cloud of ice and jade, and she walked lightly and silently, like a breeze blowing across her face.

Chang Xi lives in the "Land of Yuexi" in the northeast corner. The Land of the Moon is located on a thousand-year-old iceberg that is as silvery as water, and the entire iceberg is full of crystal ice and snow, and there is a large palace covered in snow on the iceberg. This palace is called "Moon Palace", and Changxi's family lives in it.

Chang Xi is not only good-looking, she is also gentle and virtuous, humble and polite. Chang Xi is a good wife, she is meticulous and considerate of Dijun. Chang Xi and Di Jun respect and love each other, the two are perfectly matched, and the couple is deeply in love, they are a rare good couple in the world.

Chang Xi gave birth to twelve daughters for Di Jun after marriage, and their daughters are all snow noses, snow ears, snow heads, snow faces, snow bodies, snow skins, snow hooves, snow claws, and snow fluffs, they are all a group of snow-white and flawless "white jade rabbits".

Chang Xi loves her children very much, and every day she leads them to build snowmen on the mountains, roll snowballs, have snowball fights, and play hide and seek between ice and snow. They were giggling and jumping on the mountain. When they were happy, they slipped from one side of the mountain to the other, and from one side of the mountain to the other.

At night, whenever night falls, Chang Xi puts on a crystal clear white jade royal chariot for his daughters. She took the jade whip and drove the chariot driven by her twelve jade rabbit daughters, and together they escorted the moon forward.

It wasn't until dawn broke in the east that they returned to the country of Yuexi, and Changxi went to work with Xi and them again. Then, Chang Xi will wash away the fatigue of the day for his daughters in the "Biyue Lake" in the land of Yuexi.

In order to recruit talents, the Yellow Emperor and his ancestors traveled all over the mountains and rivers to find the land of China, and for this reason, they worked tirelessly day and night. They heard that the sun god Xihe lived in the country of the sun on the southeast coast, and in order to find her as soon as possible, they went to visit her.

It just so happened that when the Yellow Emperor and they went to the country of Rixi, it was rainy for several days. The Yellow Emperor saw that it was raining heavily and had no intention of stopping, so he asked his ancestor to weave two robes and put them on his body, and they continued to walk towards the country of Rixi.

This kind of weather is a good day for Xihe and a family to have a casual gathering. Xihe saw that the dark clouds covered the sun and the moon, and the wind and rain filled the sky, so she sent her sons to invite Dijun and Changxi's mother and daughter to gather in the Riyu Palace.

It is rare for everyone to see each other like this, and Xihe stood at the gate of the palace to warmly greet his relatives from afar. She enthusiastically invited Tianjun Dijun and her sister Chang Xi to the middle hall, and they laughed and laughed together, and continued to miss for many days.

On such a day, the happiest people belong to the Golden Crow, and when the Golden Crows saw the Jade Rabbit sister coming, they were already very excited. They brought the best delicacies in the palace to their sisters, and chatted with them while eating. Soon, everyone was lively.

The children were bouncing and playing, and then laughing and dancing. The sound of laughter, accompanied by the sound of wind and rain outside the palace, spread far, far away.

On this night of thunderstorms, the Yellow Emperor and his ancestors' robes were blown away by the strong wind, and they were also lost in the wind and rain. They couldn't find a place to hide from the rain, so they braved the wind and rain to come to the golden sand beach at the foot of Tiantai Mountain.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky. Then there was another earth-shattering thunder, and the bright lightning exploded in front of the two of them. Frightened, the two quickly turned around and ran up the mountain.

They ran to a splendid palace in one go, but it was also pouring rain. So, the two ran into the palace in desperation. When the two janitors saw the two men entering, they grabbed them and tied them up.

The ancestor looked at the two janitors and looked very scary, so frightened that the ancestor hurriedly approached the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor comforted her a few words, and then asked the janitor to report to the master in the palace.

After a while, the two janitors turned around and led them towards the palace. The Yellow Emperor looked at the whole palace and was magnificent, and he saw that the room full of people were talking and laughing and making a mess.

The Yellow Emperor coughed dryly twice and shouted, "Everyone, may I ask who is the master here?" I want to see him. ”

Seeing a person walk out of the crowd, he looked the Yellow Emperor up and down and said, "Are you?" Who are you looking for? ”

When the Yellow Emperor saw that the person was also weird, he was bold and said politely, "Excuse me?" Who are you? My name is the Yellow Emperor, I want to come here to find the sun god 'Xihe', I don't know if she is here? ”

When the man heard the Yellow Emperor say this, he slowed down his serious face.

The man pointed to the two janitors: "Quickly untie the Yellow Emperor." ”

Then the man said, "I am Dijun, and Xihe is my wife." Are you looking for her? ”

The Yellow Emperor put his sore hands on his mouth, and his breath was hot. Then, he clenched his fists and said: "The Yellow Emperor doesn't know the Holy Face of the Emperor of Heaven, forgive me for offending!" ”

"Tell me something! I am Xihe! Why did the Yellow Emperor come thousands of miles to visit? ”

At the beginning of the voice, a woman in red had floated to the Yellow Emperor's side.

"The Yellow Emperor has seen the sun god Xihe. The Yellow Emperor heard that you ride the dragon chariot to follow the sun every day, and you must know very well the laws of the sun in the four seasons of the year. As for me, I also want to find the moon god Changxi to learn from her about the laws of the moon during the year. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because I know that both of you are the ones who know the movement of the sun and the moon best, I want you to make a calendar that is in keeping with the time of the people by observing the movement of the sun and the moon and the movement of the celestial bodies. In this way, people can sow at the right time, harvest at the right time, and arrange agricultural production at the right time. ”

"Yellow Emperor, this is easy to do, Xihe just do his best. In the future, I will be responsible for observing the movement of the sun, and Changxi will be responsible for observing the movement of the moon. However, is this the only way to create this celestial calendar? ”

"Xihe, thank you for supporting me. To create a calendar, you also need a person who is responsible for observing the movements of the planets, and this person is called a 'temporary area'. He is also an astronomy enthusiast and also enjoys studying celestial movements. Fortunately, I have already greeted the district, and he is willing to help you make the calendar as soon as possible. ”

"Hahaha! That's it! That's it! Changxi! Let's do it, shall we? After Xihe finished speaking, he laughed out loud with confidence.

"Sister Xihe, I'm afraid I can't do it."

At the beginning of the voice, an ice and snow beauty walked towards this side with a smile on her face.

She came to the Yellow Emperor and said with a smile: "Chang Xi is stupid, I'm afraid that I will delay the Yellow Emperor's big things, so I don't dare to make a mistake here." ”

"Sister, where are you talking? Since the Yellow Emperor's request is reasonable, let's help if we can. If not, there are still our children. Would you like to participate, kids? ”

"Yes!"

"Golden Crow! You guys? ”

"Yes!"

"Jade Rabbit! You guys? ”

"Yes!"

"If you want! Yellow Emperor, it's so decided, leave this task to us. ”

"It's still the sun god Niangniang who is refreshing, the moon god Niangniang, the Yellow Emperor invited again and asked Niangniang for support."

"That's it! That's it! Since her sister and children are willing to do it, Chang Xi has no choice. Hee-hee! Don't call me stupid. ”

Seeing that Chang Xi was so humble, the ancestor did a good job with a pleasant face.

She smiled and said to everyone: "Sun God Niangniang and Moon God Niangniang, you are the style of the sky, the mind of the earth, and the emperor of heaven is also a good blessing." If the two mothers are willing to work together to create the heaven and earth calendar, it is to accumulate blessings for all the people in the world and send virtue, and it is the blessing of all the people in the world. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, we didn't do anything. I don't deserve your praise. Chang Xi pursed his lips shyly and smiled.

"Moon God Niangniang, think that you can rule the world with the Sun God Niangniang every day, reconcile yin and yang, make the sun and moon haunt each other, help it balance, make the moon look at the new moon step by step, reincarnation orderly, and divide its short and long. Can you not be admired for maintaining the order of the universe day and night? ”

After the ancestor finished speaking, the Yellow Emperor said: "Actually, I still have a few people here who want to make calendars, and there are still a lot of them." I know that in the hinterland of our Central Plains, there is another person named 'Da Luo', who is even more powerful in speculating on the laws of heaven and earth and the cycle of the four seasons. That time I found Da Luo, and he actually mentioned some unbelievable new ideas to me. ”

"What thoughts?" Everyone craned their necks and asked in unison.

By observing the periodic changes of the sun, moon and stars, he discovered a new idea of calculating dates by year, month, and day. Da Luo once had a whim, he said: Since the sun god has ten golden crow sons, the moon god has twelve jade rabbit daughters. He wanted to use the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit as the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches, and use them as the minimum units, and he wanted to match the heavenly stems and the earthly branches with the sun, moon and stars. Then, the cyclical changes of the sun in the four seasons and the changes of the moon in each obscure period are used to create a lunisolar calendar of the sun, moon and year. What is he going to call it: 'Yellow Emperor's Calendar' or 'Yellow Calendar' or something. I don't know the specifics. In my opinion, it is better for all of you to gather together and then discuss and study this issue. ”

"Yellow Emperor, what you said about scratching him is really interesting, which brings up our interest. Okay, Chang Xi still has children, let's go there early, right? ”

"Sister Xihe, let's listen to you. What do you say, children? ”

"We all listen to the mother."

"Yes, Yellow Emperor, Ancestor, you eat and drink well here, and then lead everyone to see Da Luo, we still want to see that Da Luo as soon as possible."

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more lively, he ordered, "Children, treat our distinguished guests well." Yellow Emperor, your efforts for the people are the most worthwhile, and I support you. ”
