The Eleventh Age, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Chapter 15 The Imperial Gift to the People

The Yellow Emperor held a meeting to seal Zen in West Taishan, but ordered the historian Cangjie to read out the "Book of Sealing Zen" to everyone. The Feng Zen book was personally considered by the Yellow Emperor and asked Cangjie to draft and write.

The Yellow Emperor first rewarded Fenghou, Limu, Changxian, Dahong, Cangjie, Ningfeng, Gonggu, Wudi, Lishou, Shihuang, Linglun, Xihe, Rongcheng, Yongfu, etc., and a large number of veterans and important ministers who made great and outstanding contributions to the united tribe.

Then, the Yellow Emperor divided the tribal leaders and members of the main branches of the original Yandi tribe: Shennong, Yugang, Chiyou, Kuafu, Boling, Dongyi, Kuikui, Chidi and Baidi, etc.

Later, the Yellow Emperor divided his concubine and ancestral family as the Wang family, and his other concubines were also awarded. In the end, the Yellow Emperor divided his twenty-five sons, and there were fourteen of them with the surname.

After the Yellow Emperor gave everyone official titles and titles, he then divided them into feudal countries, cities and lands according to the number of people and the size of everyone's merits.

According to the area of tens of thousands of hundred miles of the country that he has obtained so far, and then according to the identity level drawn by each person, and then according to the size of the area that everyone should get, he will draw a field and divide the state for everyone.

The Yellow Emperor first ordered the craftsmen to build a state in the center of each subordinate country, and arranged for the left and right eunuchs around him to supervise the nations, so that the people of all countries could live in harmony.

Immediately, the Yellow Emperor used the method of passing through earthen cofferdams and setting up well fields to block disputes between the people. He used the method of measuring the land in steps to determine the number of acres of the field to prevent inaccuracies in the acres of land.

The Yellow Emperor also stipulated that the "well" field system should be used first, and a piece of public land should be left in the middle of the tic-tac-toe, and the harvested grain should be handed over to the state. Eight families around the well should be set up as one well, and four roads should be opened between the wells, so that they can be divided into eight fields.

The people between a well are neighbors, the three neighbors are the villagers, the three villagers are the townships, the five townships are the townships, the ten towns are a city, the ten cities are a division, and the ten divisions are a state.

Under the supervision of the Yellow Emperor, after everyone divided the land, all the land was quickly calculated from the well field and the size of each state. In this way, the actual number of acres of land has also come out, and it is more detailed and reliable.

When the historian Cangjie finished reading the Yellow Emperor's "Feng Zen Book", all the ministers who knelt on the ground and all the courtiers who were divided and the wives and sons of the Yellow Emperor. They all excitedly shouted in unison: "Yellow Emperor! Yellow Emperor! Emperor Huangtian! Yellow Emperor! Yellow Emperor! Emperor Huangtian! ”

At this time, the Yellow Emperor and his concubine, who were sitting under the canopy, heard the cheers of his subjects, and his weather-beaten face bloomed with sweet smiles, and his heart also swayed with unprecedented comfort and happiness.

The Yellow Emperor had a total of four concubines and ten concubines in his lifetime. Because since the time of the Yellow Emperor, in order to make their country invincible for the long-term development, they have had a lot of desire to breed children and grandchildren to consolidate their power.

In order to better pass on the lineage, the Yellow Emperor accepted a wide range of wives. There are many women who are willing to be the emperor's concubines, and the women admire the dignity of the emperor and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the emperor.

Because, being the wife of an emperor is a very honorable thing. This represents not only their own interests, but also the glory of their entire family. But if you want to get the favor of the emperor, you also need to have considerable strength.

These women who became emperor's wives were basically the leaders of various tribes. They have been specially trained since childhood, most of them are well educated, and most of them live in a relatively superior environment. Therefore, they are also more decent and stable in dealing with people.

And the Yellow Emperor's concubine Xiling is the ancestor who led the people to plant mulberry, raise silkworms, reel silk, and weave silk. The ancestor is revered as the "First Silkworm Mother", she is the founder of silkworm reeling, and she is revered as the "silkworm god".

The ancestor was a person who followed the Yellow Emperor all his life, and she pioneered the method of planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and the art of silk weaving. She admonished the Yellow Emperor, decreed the agricultural mulberry, the legal system of clothing, the first to advocate marriage, and advocated etiquette. She assisted the Yellow Emperor in unifying the Central Plains, was the best assistant of the Yellow Emperor, and she was also the virtuous concubine of the Yellow Emperor.

The ancestor is a good wife and mother who knows the general situation. Her mother is the world's best, and the people are well-being. She let the people start to say goodbye to the wilderness and let the people have a sense of humanity. The ancestor raised the eight worships to get married, and was the initiator of the marriage civilization.

The concubine ancestor later gave birth to several daughters for the Yellow Emperor, and she also gave birth to two sons for the Yellow Emperor. Their eldest son is called "Xuan Huan", he is also called "Shao Hao", and their second son is called "Changyi".

One day, the ancestor and the Yellow Emperor were floating in a small river on a raft. The Yellow Emperor looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he couldn't help but blow the bamboo flute. With the melodious sound of the flute, the ancestor couldn't help but sing.

The beautiful flute and the beautiful singing became one, and even the phoenix flew to bless them. The ancestors snuggled affectionately in the arms of the Yellow Emperor, and they were immersed in the sweet love of happiness.

Singing and singing, the ancestor fell asleep. In her dream, she saw a morning star falling from the sky, and the morning star shone with five wonderful lights and fell into her arms at once. The ancestor hurriedly pushed it out, and at the same time as the morning star landed, it suddenly turned into a young and handsome man.

The man kept smiling at his ancestor, and with a smile and a smile, he turned into a beautiful phoenix bird again. The ancestor smiled excitedly at him, and then she also became a phoenix, and she flew and danced in the sky with the phoenix

In this way, the ancestor flew happily with the phoenix, flying, laughing, laughing, until she woke up laughing.

The Yellow Emperor asked her what she was laughing at, and the ancestor still smiled and said, "Yellow Emperor! I won't tell you! It's a secret. ”

Soon, the Yellow Emperor and his ancestors went to the East China Sea to parade, and when they came to the Dongyi tribe "Poor Sang (Qufu)" at the foot of Mount Tai, their eldest son Xuanhuan, that is, Shaohao, was born.

When Shao Hao was born, five phoenixes flew in the sky. These five phoenixes are of different colors, and their bodies are draped in different colors. There are five brilliant colors: red, yellow, blue, white, and Xuan.

These five phoenixes all flew down in the courtyard where Shao Hao was born, so Shao Hao is also known as "Phoenix Bird". After Shaohao grew up, the Yellow Emperor arranged for him to serve as a tribal leader in the Dongyi tribe.

Since then, the Shaohao clan has built the Dongyi tribe into a country, and its capital is set in the poor mulberry, and the Shaohao clan has also begun to use the phoenix bird as the totem of the tribe.

Later, Shaohao let his children and grandchildren take charge of the small and medium-sized tribes of the Dongyi tribe, and named their children and grandchildren after various birds. They have the Wind Bird Clan, the Xuan Bird Clan, the Blue Bird Clan, and so on, a total of twenty-four clans. The whole tribe forms a large, complete clan tribal society with the phoenix bird as the totem.

The second son of the ancestor was named Changyi, and he was sealed in the "Ruoshui" basin in the Bashu region. The Yellow Emperor made Changyi the leader of the "Shaoqu tribe" in the Ruoshui Valley, a nomadic tribe that lived nomadically on the vast grasslands from the Jinsha River and the Yangtze River to Chongshui.

Changyi stayed on the grassland for a few years, and then he moved the capital of the nomadic tribe to the Central Plains and built a "Changyi City" near Zhuolu. Later, Changyi was enshrined in Xirong by the Yellow Emperor, and Changyi established a resting state in Xirong (in present-day Iranian Plateau).

Before Changyi went to Xirong, he left his eldest son, Zhuan, in the Central Plains, and Zhuan became the tribal leader there. He is very good at managing the people, and he keeps his tribe in order. Later, he became the second leader of the United Chinese tribe after the Yellow Emperor (that is a later story).

The second concubine of the Yellow Emperor "Fang Lei", Fang Lei's name is "Nujie", she is the daughter of "Lei", the eldest son of Emperor Yan Yu. Lei originally lived in the Dongyi tribe, and later they moved to live in the Fangshan area of the Central Plains. Lei Yin joined forces with Xuanyuan to defeat Chiyou, so he married his daughter to Xuanyuan.

Fang Lei was also a very intelligent person, she invented the first comb in human history.

One autumn, the weather was dry, and the wind was blowing almost every day, and Fang Lei and the maids around her were messy all day long by the wind. Their long hair is often torn together and cannot be combed with their fingers.

Fang Lei's family is also a person who loves neatness, and his hair is so messy that he also loses his Fengyi, which is sad to Fang Lei's death. She thought, "If only I invented a tool to comb my hair." So, she began to look for such a tool.

One day, Fang Lei's clan saw that the Yellow Emperor's cargo who invented the boat went to the lake to catch some big fish. The Yellow Emperor distributed a few to Fang Lei's family, and after everyone ate the fish, the bone spur in the fish was thrown to the ground.

Fang Lei picked it up and saw that there were two rows of sharp spines neatly arranged on the fish bones. She casually combed her hair twice, and when she was done, she took a photo of the water, which was very beautiful and neat.

Fang Lei immediately broke off the two ends of this fishbone, leaving the best section in the middle. She asked everyone to comb their hair with fish bones, and some people couldn't comb their hair well when they were light, and some people punctured their scalps when they were heavy. But after Fang Lei's guidance, their hair was quickly combed.

Then Fang Lei went to the carpenter and asked him to make a comb in the shape of this fish bone. As a result, the comb made by the master carpenter was wide and thick, and Fang Lei and the maids said that it was very useful. Later, after many improvements by carpenters, a better comb was finally made.

Fang Lei gave birth to several daughters for the Yellow Emperor, and she also gave birth to a son named "Qingyang" for the Yellow Emperor.

Qingyang is the second son of the Yellow Emperor, he is the younger brother of the Shaohao clan and the elder brother of Changyi. Qingyang because of his gentle personality and very smart, he is like the warm sunshine of spring, the Yellow Emperor likes his character very much, so he named him Qingyang.

Qingyang was divided by the Yellow Emperor in the "river water" Jiuhua Mountain area, where the back of the mountains and water, Jiuhua Mountain is high and steep. The Yangtze River rolled through the mountainside, pouring for thousands of miles, where Qingyang first led his tribe to grow and develop, and later established a "Qingyang Kingdom" there.

The Yellow Emperor also has a second concubine called "Tongyu", Tongyu's surname is "Ran", and her name is "Qiong", she is the daughter of the second concubine of Emperor Yan and the third concubine of the Yellow Emperor. The food, housing and transportation of the main persons in charge of the Tongyu clan, she is also from the Dongyi tribe of Emperor Yan.

The Tongyu clan has been fishing for a living for generations, and their clan uses fish as a totem. At that time, many people often fell ill because of eating raw fish and meat, and everyone tried many ways, but they could not be cured, and the Yellow Emperor was often worried about this.

In the summer of that year, the tribesmen followed the Tongyu clan up the mountain to hunt. That day, they happened to encounter a forest fire caused by thunder and lightning in the mountains, and she noticed that the burnt wild lamb meat was particularly fragrant, so she asked everyone to come and taste it.

From then on, Tong Yu led her maids to polish some stone slabs, so that everyone could put their prey on the stone slabs and cook them before eating. In order to avoid scalding her fingers when barbecuing her prey, she made chopsticks from wooden sticks or bamboo sticks and stir-fried food. Therefore, later generations revered her as the ancestor of the culinary industry.

Tongyu gave birth to two sons, one named "Hui" (the ancestor of the Zhang family) and the other called "Yigu" (the ancestor of the Li family).

The youngest second concubine of the Yellow Emperor was called "Mother-in-law", and she was a very ugly woman, also known as the Ugly Girl. In that year, in order to stop the "marriage robbery" incident between the tribes, the Yellow Emperor specially selected a virtuous and gentle mother-in-law as his wife. The son born to the mother-in-law is called "Canglin".

As the fourth concubine of the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor trusted her and handed over the responsibility of managing the harem to her. Because of her mother-in-law's extraordinary organizational skills, the Yellow Emperor granted her the official position of "Fang Xiangshi" and used her ability to drive away evil and avoid evil.

In fact, my mother-in-law was not so ugly as she was, she was also like a flower and jade, very beautiful. She is also from the Yandi tribe.

Once, my grandmother-in-law went to the river to fetch water, and she was very happy to see her smiling face in the water. As she walked back, she stopped to watch when she saw several gold coin makers minting there.

So every time she fetched water, she would stop and watch for a while. When my grandmother saw the hot copper water flowing on the ground, she remembered how beautiful she looked on the water, and she poured some copper water into a small pit to take care of herself.

So she poured out a flat piece of copper, and when it had cooled, she polished it on the stone. Ay! His own shadow was clearly presented.

When my mother-in-law saw that her shadow was shining on the copper plates, she made several of the same copper plates in this way. And gave it the name "Mirror".

Once, when my mother-in-law was casting a mirror with hot copper water, she accidentally burned herself. Because of the burns, my mother-in-law's original good face was burned beyond recognition, and she became extremely ugly from then on.

Although her mother-in-law is disfigured, she is a kind-hearted and virtuous person, her mother-in-law is always kind to others, and she always uses her innocent heart to influence everyone around her. Therefore, everyone respects her very much, and even the Yellow Emperor respects her very much.

Because of the concubines headed by the ancestor to manage the harem, the Yellow Emperor has no worries, so whether it is the imperial palace or the country, he manages it very perfectly. Moreover, the concubines are all based on kindness, everyone coexists peacefully, and wholeheartedly adds glory to the prosperity of the country.

Therefore, no matter in which aspect, the Dahua nation led by the Yellow Emperor has a stable country and excellent folk customs, and there is a thriving new atmosphere everywhere.

The concubines are virtuous and gentle, they not only gave birth to many daughters for the Yellow Emperor, but they also gave birth to twenty-five sons for the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor loved these sons very much, these princes are the greatest wealth of the Chinese nation.

In addition to giving them their respective names, the Yellow Emperor also gave them a wide range of surnames, and fourteen of them were given twelve surnames. Two sons took the surname of the Yellow Emperor, and nine sons were each given a country. (From this onwards, most of the monarchs of all dynasties are also the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, that is a later story.) )

They include the Yellow Emperor's own family surname "Ji", and these twelve surnames are: Ji, You, Qi, Ji, Teng, Bao, Ren, Xun, Xi, Yao, Yi, Yi and other single surnames. In addition, there are two compound surnames of Qingyang and Canglin, and these two compound surnames belong to the same surname as the Yellow Emperor's nature - the surname Ji.

Since this large-scale family name granting, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor have all had surnames that represent their respective family branches. In the process of growing up, they gradually married and had children, and branched out. Since then, the Yellow Emperor has given surnames and names to his grandchildren, who are scattered in hundreds. Because of this, the people began to have a common saying.

The Yellow Emperor attached great importance to the education of his children and grandchildren, and he invited the most talented people in the country from all over the country to be the children's teachers. Like Cangjie, Fenghou, Limu, Qibo, and Lishou, these erudite and talented people have poured their hearts and souls into these descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

The teachers not only taught them a lot of knowledge, but also taught them the basic principles of life and affairs, which laid a solid and pure foundation for the descendants of Yan and Huang to become famous all over the world.
