In the oracle bone inscription, the character "Zhou" is written as the character "Tian", and there is a point in each of the four squares. The field is a field, and the four points are like the crops densely planted in the field. It can be seen that the naming of the ancestors of the Chinese nation is closely related to agriculture. Because Houji was good at farming, he was selected as a farmer by Di Yao, and he was sealed to Taidi when he was Emperor Shun. After the meaning of king, millet is a famous crop name. The Zhou people took Ji as the ancestor and Ji as the god of ceres. Later, the community was regarded as a symbol of the country, all of which shows the close connection between the Chinese nation and this crop.

Houji offered sacrifices to the gods and prayed for eternal blessings from heaven, and God thanked him for his virtues and deeds, and continued to bless him and extend the blessings to his children and grandchildren. Houji created the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, and so that God will always bless the Chinese nation, and it is precisely because of the success of Houji's entrepreneurship that he has fruitful results that can be used as a tribute to the sacrifice. Houji is worthy of praise, and he is indeed well-deserved.

At the beginning, the ancestors were born because Jiang Yan was able to give birth. How to give birth to ancestors? Pray to the gods to sacrifice to the emperor and pray for the birth of a child so that there will be no heirs. Stepping on the thumb print of the emperor, the gods protect the total auspiciousness. The fetus is still when it moves, and once it is born and nurtured diligently, the child is Zhou Houji.

The pregnancy was ten months old, and the first child was delivered smoothly. The birth door is not broken or cracked, safe and healthy, and it has shown great light. The Emperor of Heaven comforted him in his heart, and came to sacrifice wholeheartedly, glad that he had a son.

Newborn babies abandon the alleys and care to feed cattle and sheep. Then he threw the baby into the woods, and was rescued by a woodcutter. He also put the baby on the ice, and the big bird warmed his wings. The big bird finally flew away, and Houji just cried wow. The cry was long and loud, and the voice was strong all over the road.

Houji is very good at crawling around, sensible and smart, and has the ability to forage and eat. Soon soybeans will be planted, and soybeans will be thriving. The seedlings of the millet were planted, the hemp and wheat grew vigorously, and the melons were full of fruits.

Later, the grass cultivated the field and planted the land, and there was a way to identify the soil quality. The dense weeds are all removed, and the harvest is selected and sown. Soon new seedlings emerge from the sprouts, and the seedlings rise up thinly, and the joints and ears are firm; The grain is full and of high quality, the ears of grain are heavy, the harvest is good, and it is a treasure to support the family.

God cares for and bestows good seeds: both straw and straw are seen, and red and white rice are also complete. Straw crops are growing everywhere, and the harvesting and stacking are busy. Red rice and white rice are born everywhere, carrying the back and carrying the warehouse full, busy with farm work to sacrifice ancestors.

What is it like to sacrifice to the ancestors? There are grains and rice, dustpans and sieved chaff. The sound of sand and rice is noisy, and the steamed rice is fragrant and hot. Prepare for the sacrifice to plan, and the artemisia tallow burns fragrantly. The big fat ram was skinned, burned and roasted for the gods, praying for a more abundant year.

Offerings are served in bowls and plates, wooden bowls and tiles are used in pots, and the aroma rises to fill the hall. The Emperor of Heaven came to enjoy it, and the food tasted really fragrant. Houji was the first to create a sacrifice and enjoy the ceremony, praying for God's blessing and protection from disaster, which is still like this today.

"Walking Reeds": Kindness and respect for the elderly, benevolence and grass and trees

The reed sprouts at the beginning, tender and moist, so that people cannot bear to let the cattle and sheep trample on it.

The host of the banquet is a great-grandson, and the wine is served with a mellow taste. Fill the cup and offer it, and pray for a long life. Long Zhong staggered and helped him to help him serve Ren. Longevity and auspiciousness are human beings, please God give great blessings.

"Drunk": God blessed the happiness of King Zhou's family

This is a poem by the king of Zhou to worship his ancestors, and the official in charge of the sacrifice matters represents the god to the chief priest King Zhou.

A deity is a small wooden plaque used to worship ancestors or the deceased. The rulers of the Zhou Dynasty offered sacrifices to their ancestors, and the officials in charge of the sacrifices expressed their blessings to their masters on behalf of the public corpse. In ancient times, people dressed up as ancestors to receive sacrifices, and this person was called a corpse, and the ancestors were kings and princes, so they were called public corpses. After the sacrifice was completed, the king of Zhou and the princes feasted and drank to their heart's content. The corpse had drunk enough of the wine, indicating that the god had enjoyed the sacrifice; The corpse was full of the kindness of the king of Zhou, indicating that the god had felt the sincerity of the main priest, the king of Zhou.

Enjoying the sumptuous wine and food offered by the chief priest, the god could not be indifferent to the intention of King Zhou's fist. Therefore, on behalf of God, the Lord of God wishes King Zhou a long life and eternal happiness and light from God. King Zhou's ability to sincerely sacrifice to his ancestors shows that King Zhou is a person of filial piety, so God will inevitably bless him. God will give him more filial sons, and then these filial sons will keep the family business in order, so that they will continue to be blessed and have more slaves.

Drink yourself drunk with sweet wine, and I will be full of your kindness. I wish your master a long life, and a blessing from heaven to enjoy forever.

Drink a drunk with sweet wine, and I will taste your delicacies. I wish you an endless life and a bright future of success.

Happiness, brightness, and happiness, and a good end. A good end should naturally be a good beginning, and the good words of God are willing to give.

What is the good word of God? The offerings were put on a plate. Guests and friends came to help the sacrifice, adding glory and heavy etiquette.

The grand etiquette is very appropriate, and the master is filial to his son. There will never be fewer filial sons, and God will give you a good heir.

What will be the heir to you? There is a good way to manage the family business. I wish you a long life and blessings for future generations.

What will it be like to pass it on to future generations? Heaven has blessed you. I wish your master a long life, and have a destiny and many slaves.

What is it like to have many slaves? Heaven gives men and women more happiness. Heaven gives men and women more happiness, and their descendants will be passed on from generation to generation.
