The northernmost part of the Demon Tide Continent, further north than the Mereles Ice Land, is the forbidden place of the Black Stone Demon Clan, where the bones are buried adjacent to the Ice Sea, and the source of the demon spirit "Demon Pool" and the Netherworld Yellow Spring, the birthplace of the Demon Pool, are known as the three "Sources of All Evil", and they are also the birthplace of the Demon Race and the power of the Yin Spirit.

The burial ground is endless, full of strict bones, piled up into mountains in some places, scattered tombstones and crosses are inserted horizontally on the bone pile, the solemn and cold atmosphere is permeated, occasionally there are small sounds from under the bones, making a gurgling sound, these bones are mostly warriors of the Black Stone Demon Clan before their deaths, and there are also many high-level demons buried in the depths of the bone burial ground, they have long since died, but they are alive in the huge "corpse refining ground" of the burial ground, not dead or alive.

The blue moon was like a lone eye in the night sky, and the place of bones was reflected with a brilliant blue sheen, and a group of black shadows flew from the sky, it was a storm of ravens that carrioned meat.

If the defendant is living an immoral life, then this certainly proves that she has dealings with the devil; And if she is pious and well-behaved, then she is clearly disguised in order to use her piety to divert suspicion from her demonic dealings and attending witch meetings at night. If she appears frightened during interrogation, then she is clearly guilty, and conscience makes her exposed. If she believed that she was innocent and kept her composure, then she was undoubtedly guilty: because witches were accustomed to lying shamelessly. If she pleads guilty to the charges against her, it proves her guilt; If she had been frightened, despaired, depressed, and silent because of the terrible false accusations made against her, it would have been direct evidence of her guilt. If an unfortunate woman turns her eyes in agony due to torture, it means that she is looking for her devil with her eyes; And if her eyes are glazed and unmoving, it means that she sees her own devil and is looking at him. If she finds that she has the strength to withstand the torture, it means that the devil has made her hold up, and therefore she must be tortured more severely; If she could not bear it anymore and died under the punishment, it meant that the devil had let her die as a sign that she would not confess and divulge her secrets. ”

This Gonggong is not the mythical Gonggong (the mythical Gonggong is a figure during the Fuxi Nuwa regime), but the collective name of the "Shuizheng" tribal leader during the Zhurong period of the fifth emperor of the Yan Emperor Kui Kui regime, and the last ruler of the Yan Emperor Kui Kui Clan, the seventh emperor, was later defeated by the Shennong clan and led the tribe to change its name to "Gonggong clan". Kua's father is the ninth grandson of the Kui clan and the great-grandson of Emperor Yan Gonggong (there is only one person in Yandi Gonggong, so it refers to one person).

"Shangshu Shundian": "The flow works together in Youzhou, puts the donkey in Chongshan, channels the three seedlings in the three dangers, dies in Yushan, and the four sins are salty in the world." "Liezi Tang Wen": "The Gonggong clan and the decadent are vying for the emperor, (颛顼, the descendant of the Yellow Emperor ("The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of the Sea"). Therefore, this war is really a continuation of the Huangyan War) angry and untouchable mountains, folding the pillars of the sky, Jedi dimension, so the sky is tilted to the northwest, and the sun, moon and stars are in place; The land is not satisfied with the southeast, so the rivers and rivers are returned. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of the Sea": "The wife of Emperor Yan, the son of Chishui, listens to the Yanju of Wo, the Yanju is born of the festival, the festival is born, the drama is born Zhurong, and Zhurong is in the river, and the work is born. and "Tianwen Xun" and "Huainanzi": "The former worked together and fought for the emperor, and the anger could not touch the mountain, the heavenly pillar was broken, and the earth was destroyed. The sky tilts to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars shift; The land is not in the southeast, so the water and dust return. ”

Zhu Rongjiang is in the river, and he works together. This Zhu Rong is from Zhu, also called from Lou. The river is Surabaya, today

The Lou in the Tiansurabaya Basin is the place where Zhu Rongli and Zhu Sheng worked together. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness East Classic" says: "Beyond the East China Sea, the country of Shaohao." Emperor Shaohao left here. The capital of Shaohao is very close to Qufu, the birthplace of Gonggong. Therefore, Zhuan Xuan and Gonggong were originally neighbors, and their common leader was the powerful Shao Hao.

The Gonggong clan was supposed to be able to get along. However, due to the decline of the Shaohao clan in the later period of Shaohao's reign, coupled with the rise of the Gonggong clan. Shao Hao, the original ruler of the river basin, was no longer able to restrain the rising Gonggong, so the Gonggong challenged Shaohao's dominance. This is exactly what is recorded in "Chinese Chu Language": the decline of the Shaohao clan, Jiuli chaos. Afterwards, the incident of the three seedlings and the restoration of the virtue of Jiuli. Historically, Gonggong also called the Dijiang River, which means the emperor of the river. In the face of the rise of Gonggong, Shaohao's designated heir, Zhen Xuan, was naturally not convinced, so he ordered Chongli to fight against Gonggong. Chongli is the Chong tribe and the Li tribe. The heavy is that Shaohao's son is also in the river basin, and the Li tribe is the maiden tribe of Nulu, the wife of Zhuan, and Nulu's Lu is the general holiday of the Li character. The tribe where Nulu belongs is also called Teng Li's clan, which is a branch of Zhurongli Zhu's descendants. Teng Lian's is also called Teng Ben's, and Ben is a fake of Mian. The word 濆 is the meaning of the fountain, and Teng 濆 is the fountain of Teng Yong. Teng Lian's family is in today's Tengzhou, Shandong, Tengzhou is named after the fountain of Tengyong. Li (Lu) surname Teng Li's geographical location is in the area of today's Tengzhou, and his ancestor Zhu Rong is very close to Lou, and the descendants of Nu Lu and Zhu Rong are also called Zhu Rong. Teng Lian's clan was originally of the same clan as Gonggong, but because the brothers were unhappy with their separation, they also came out to support Zhuan Xuan to attack Gonggong.

In this way, it was supported by the Chonghe Li tribe in the river basin, and the strength of Zhuan Xuan increased greatly. Push the co-workers away. "Wenzi" said: "Working together is a water disaster, so it is punished." "But at this time, co-workers are still strong. In order to achieve lasting peace. He also had a marriage relationship with the Gonggong, and Lao Tong, a descendant of the Gonggong and Nulu, married the Gonggong ministers Genshui and Jishui.

"The Valley of the Rising Sun, the god says Tianwu, is for the water bo."

Legendary co-workers

During the Emperor's period, the Zhuan Tribal Alliance and the Gonggong Tribal Alliance fought in the Central Plains. In the late primitive society, according to legend, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor was named Gaoyang, and succeeded the Yellow Emperor as the leader of the tribal alliance. He was born in Ruoshui and lived in Diqiu (southeast of present-day Puyang, Henan), near the east bank of the Yellow River (about present-day Weihe). The descendants of the Yandi Gonggong were the leaders of the Gonggong tribal alliance, a branch of the Yandi clan, and lived in the Hexi region of the middle reaches of the Yellow River in Kyushu (about the border of present-day Hui County, Henan), in the upper reaches of the Zhuan Tribal Alliance. When the Gaoyang regime obtained the position of Yellow Emperor (the Yellow Emperor is not a single person, it is the collective name of the political leaders of a period), he borrowed it

During the Fuxi period, there was a tribe of the Gonggong clan in China. Gonggong's counterpart to this water god in the sky, called Gonggong, it has a human face and a snake body, red hair, and a very violent temperament, and there are two notorious gods under Gonggong's hands: one is Xiangliu with nine heads, it is also a human-faced snake body, the whole body is blue, the temperament is cruel and greedy, and it takes pleasure in killing; The other is a long, malevolent float that is said to be able to see through people's minds and thus deceive them.

The people of the Gonggong clan speak very nicely and are wild, but they are deceitful and respectful on the surface, but in fact they are lawless. The head of the Gonggong clan is called Kang Hui, who was born with a fashionable body and red hair, iron arms and tendons, a height of more than one zhang, and infinite strength. Kang Hui is respectful on the surface but cunning in his heart, full of conspiracies, but he is temporarily forbearant because of Fuxi's great power and virtue. After Fuxi left, the people of China respected Nuwa, and Kang Hui was jealous because of this, relying on the high and dangerous terrain of his fiefdom, and decided to endanger the Central Plains by a monstrous flood, resulting in an ocean between the world and the world of China. Nuwa couldn't bear it anymore and decided to lead the people of China to eradicate the Gonggong.

During the period of Emperor Yao of China, the world was flooded, and in the case of Kun's unsuccessful water control, Yao sent Kun's son Yu to control the flood.

Dayu led the people to control the water, and has been governing the Yellow River to the east of the mountain, and then the river to the east is not easy to govern, because there are co-workers who are making trouble.

Gonggong is a bad water god, with a fierce temperament, arrogant, and dedicated to opposing the people of China. It often exerts its divine power on a whim, calling for wind and rain, harming the people of the world with floods, and turning a good and decent China into an ocean. The people wept and cried out for the sun and the moon.

Dayu found a co-worker and persuaded him not to call for wind and rain, send floods and pits to harm the people, leave a way for the people of China to live, and accumulate some virtue. Gonggong didn't listen to Dayu's kind words and persuasion at all, and said: "What does it have to do with you when I send my water?" Dayu didn't want to pay attention to this bad god with an inferior soul, so he had to come in the water, go in the water, brave the wind and rain, inspect the terrain, and look for a way out of the Yellow River to the east.

Gonggong saw that Dayu was bent on controlling the flood, channeling the Yellow River, and allowing the people of China to live a normal life, and suddenly became angry, almost using all his divine power, and the flood in the Central Plains overflowed everywhere, flowing everywhere, and the flood was even greater.

Dayu ran around, tried his best, but the water on the ground gathered more and more, and the water of the Yellow River was also running in all directions. There are co-workers to make trouble, the Yellow River can not be channeled, Dayu can't bear it, and is determined to lead the people of China to expel the co-workers.

Dayu called Yinglong, Huanglong, Bailong, and Canglong, who followed him to control the water, and encouraged the people of China to fight together. Gonggong has long been infamous because of the evil done everywhere, and the people heard that Dayu was going to drive away Gonggong, and they came to participate in the war. Dayu took everyone to stop the co-workers in the water, and the two sides fought.

After a month of fighting, Dayu took the people of China to take turns to fight. The co-workers gradually became exhausted, and after the defeat, they fled in panic, and Dayu chased after them. Gonggong saw that he was in a catastrophe, so he knelt down to Dayu and vowed to never invade Huaxia again, and never to do evil again. Dayu's heart softened and let go of the co-workers.

After Dayu led the people of China to drive away the Gonggong, he worked hard to drain the flood, and channeled the Yellow River to the East China Sea non-stop, and used the stones of Taihang Mountain to build a high, thick, and very solid embankment on both sides of the Yellow River.

of the embankment.

Emperor Zhuan was one of the five emperors (Yellow Emperor, Zhuan Emperor, Emperor Yu, Tang Yao, and Yu Shun) in ancient China, and was known as the Emperor of Northern Water De. Emperor Zhuan was benevolent and wise, and at that time, the Quartet was obedient, and all birds and beasts were influenced.

Emperor Zhuan was nurtured by his uncle Shaohao since he was a child, and he was particularly fond of music. When he heard the bustling and desolate sound of the wind coming from all directions sweeping over the earth, he felt very pleasant, so he asked the eight flying dragons to imitate the sound of the wind and chant for a long time, named "Chengyun Song", which was specially used to commemorate the Yellow Emperor. He had a whimsical idea to make the Yangtze crocodile an advocate of music. With a sound like a drum and a thick scale armor on its back, the alligator sleeps in a cave at the bottom of a pond and marsh, and has always been unfamiliar with music. But it didn't dare to slack off after receiving the order, and immediately flipped its bulky body and lay on its back, waving its thick tail and beating the bulging gray belly, and the sound it made was really loud. The world was influenced by Emperor Zhuan, and the skin of the Chinese crocodile was used to cover the drum. This kind of drum is very valuable, and it is called a drum of rays. During the reign of Emperor Zhuan, people's morality had changed. The thirty-six northern states directly under Emperor Zhuan were morally noble, while the morality in other places was no longer good. "Monarchs and ministers are born of virtue", therefore, the sun, moon and stars, which were originally constantly running, began to be firmly tied to the north of the heavenly dome, fixed in the sky above the thirty-six northern states.

In ancient times, the people of China worshiped God and worshiped God, so there were blessings that many people could not imagine. At that time, although the heavens and the earth were also separated, they were relatively close to each other, and there was also a ladder of heaven to communicate, and this ladder was the mountains and trees in various places. The ladder of heaven was originally designed for gods, immortals, and witches, but the wise men and warriors of the world can climb the ladder of heaven with their wits and bravery, and reach the heavenly court. At that time, mortals could go directly to heaven to appeal to the Emperor of Heaven if they had grievances, and gods could also go to the mortal world to enjoy the mountains and rivers at will, and the boundary between humans and gods was not very clear. Later, due to the rebellion of the earthly Chiyou, he was disrespectful to God and disturbed the heavenly court. For this reason, Emperor Zhuan ordered Sun Erzhong and Li to cut off the passage between heaven and earth in order to maintain the order of the universe.

Co-work and blessing

Hercules and Li received the order, and carried enough strength, one held the sky with both hands, one pressed the ground with both palms, shouted, and exerted force together, and the sky was lifted up as much as possible, and the ground was desperately pressed down, the sky gradually rose, and the earth gradually sank, and the heaven and the earth, which were not far away, became like this, far away, and the mountains and trees could no longer play the role of the ladder. From then on, the importance of supporting the heavens was Nanzheng, and he was in charge of the affairs of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods; According to the Li of the earth, he is in charge of the affairs of the world.

Emperor Zhuan also formulated various etiquette systems to maintain social morality, stipulating that women must first avoid encountering men on the road, otherwise they will be dragged to the cross street to show the public, and also stipulated that brothers and sisters are not allowed to intermarry, and let the people sacrifice their ancestors and heaven and earth ghosts and gods on time. Emperor Zhuan's morality and wisdom made the Quartet obey Mude, and all birds and beasts were influenced.

Emperor Zhuan's jurisdiction is very large. "The north is as far as the Youling, the south is as far as Jiaolu, the west is as far as the quicksand, and the east is as far as Panmu. The moving things, the big and small gods, the sun and the moon shine, all belong to it. "But the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. The great virtue and wisdom of Emperor Zhuan made the good follow, but the evil and lawless co-workers hated him, and the co-workers were simply mad with jealousy, so they gathered some bad gods who also advocated lawlessness and were dissatisfied with the Emperor Zhuan to form an army, and rode lightly and short-bladed, and raided the heavenly kingdom of Kyoto. When Emperor Zhuan heard the change, he was calm and calm, and lit seventy-two beacon towers on one side.

After the start of the war, Emperor Zhuan led the army to chase the Gonggong people from the sky to the mortal world, and then from the mortal world to the sky. The slain of the co-workers was overturned, and almost all the troops were wiped out. The co-workers went to the foot of Buzhou Mountain in the northwest, and there were only thirteen horsemen left around them. The strange abruptness of Buzhou Mountain, standing up to the sky and the earth, blocked the way of this gang of thieves. This Buzhou Mountain is a giant pillar that supports the sky, and it is one of the main bases for Emperor Zhuan to maintain the order of the universe. At this time, Emperor Zhuan led his army to rush from all directions, shouting and persuading the earth to surrender, and the net of heaven and earth had been laid out. Gonggong still wanted to break it until he died, and vented his resentment regardless of all the consequences, and he crashed into Buzhou Mountain. In the loud sound of rumbling and banging, the Buzhou Mountain, which was holding the sky and the earth, was broken by it and collapsed horizontally.

After the pillar of heaven was broken, the whole universe underwent a great change, and the northwest celestial dome lost its support and tilted downward, so that the sun, moon and stars tied to the northern zenith could no longer stand in their original positions. and the scene of rivers flowing eastward, fresh water mixed with seawater.

After Buzhou Mountain was knocked off, half of the sky fell, and many large holes were exposed; The ground also cracked, and deep pits and cracks appeared. When the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the mountains and forests burned with raging fires, the earth erupted from the ground, and all kinds of fierce beasts sprang out from the surroundings, and the earth was like a hell on earth. The goddess Nuwa was very sad to see the people she had created suffering in this way. In order to allow people to live a natural life again, Nuwa decided to repair the broken sky.

The co-workers are angry and do not touch the mountain map

This is an extremely difficult and complicated work, Nuwa first picked up a lot of five-colored stones in the river, and then burned the stones with a fire for nine days and nine nights to refine the red, yellow, green, white, and black mixed stone slurry, and then poured the stone slurry into the holes in the sky one by one, and repaired the cracked places. The ensuing work is to hold up the heavens. Nuwa used the four legs of a large turtle to replace the pillars of heaven and erected them on the four sides of the earth, holding up the sky like a tent. The pillars are sturdy, and the sky will never fall again. Nuwa drove away the ferocious birds and beasts that plagued everywhere, and filled the flood with ashes made from reed grass. The heavens were mended, the earth was filled in, and the people of China were able to live a natural and happy life again.

"The Gonggong clan has a son called Julong, which is the soil of the future, and the soil of the earth is the society."

"The uncle of the Gonggong clan is also nine, and his son is said to be the back soil, and he can level the nine soils, so he worships the society." According to the research of the famous mythological scholar Ding Shan, the consonance of "Gonggong" can be read as "Kun", and the son of Gonggong "Julong" of "Nengping Jiutu" is the "Yulong" of "governing water and soil in Kyushu", and the Xia people sacrifice to the "shrine" to commemorate the ancestor "Emperor Yu". Xu Shen's "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" interprets "Yu" as "insects, pictograms." According to the oracle bone inscription and the golden glyphs, Ding Shan interprets "Yu" as "snake", that is, "hook dragon". Ding Shan's "Ancient Myths and Nationalities" argues that the totem of the Xia Dynasty is the "sentence dragon": "Those who have officials who worship the dragon in Xia should respect the dragon because of the national rituals." Dragons, sentence dragons. And it is rumored that the suburb of the Xia Hou clan is Zongyu, and the rest of the Yu is suspicious that Yu is a dragon; Julong Ping Jiutu, also from the Xia Hou totem myth. Wen Yiduo's "Tianwen Shuzhen" also said: "Gonggongzi Goulong is Kun Ziyu." Today, the Erlitou cultural pottery that is defined by archaeology as the site of the Xia Dynasty is painted with a "snake body dragon", and the dragon body is slender and curved like a hook, which can be called "hook dragon". "Goulong" is the ancestor of the Xia people - Emperor Yu, "Goulong" should be the ancestor totem of the Xia people, therefore, the totem of China's first hereditary imperial dynasty - Xia Dynasty is "Goulong". The Xia Dynasty was the first unified country in China with written records, and the national totem of the Xia Dynasty: "Goulong", of course, was also the ancestor totem of the Chinese nation.

After Pangu opened the world and Nuwa created man, there was a war in the universe. The water god Gonggong has always been at odds with the fire god Zhu, and he led the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to attack the fire god. The generals who served as the vanguard, Xiang Liu and Fuyou, pounced on the Guangming Palace where the fire god Zhu Rong lived, and extinguished the divine fire around the Guangming Palace that had not been extinguished for many years. The ground was dark. The fire god Zhu Rong drove the fiery dragon all over his body to meet the battle. Everywhere I went, the clouds cleared and the rain was collected; The darkness receded, and the earth returned to light. The water god Gonggong was annoyed and angry, and ordered Xiangliu and Fuyou to draw up the water from the three rivers and five seas and pour it to Zhurong and them. In an instant, the turbid waves in the air were falling, the black waves were churning, the white clouds were submerged, and the divine fire was extinguished again. But as soon as the water receded, the divine fire burned again, and Zhu Rong invited the wind god to help, the wind helped the fire, and the fire rode the wind and rushed straight to the co-worker. They want to keep the water to fight the fire, but the water is pouring for thousands of miles, where can they keep it. The flames rolled up like tongues, and they were burned to the ground and staggered. Gonggong led the navy to fight and retreat, and fled back to the sea. He thought that Zhu Rong would definitely retreat when he encountered the big water. Therefore, he stood in the water palace and became proud. Unexpectedly, Zhu Rong made up his mind to win this time, and he pursued at full speed. Wherever the fire dragon went, the sea water rolled to both sides, making way for a big road. Zhu Rong approached the Water Palace, and the water gods worked together, and they had to come out to face the battle. Zhurong, the god of fire, who represents light, won a complete victory. The floater was alive and dead, Xiangliu fled, and the co-workers were exhausted, unable to fight anymore, and fled to the sky in embarrassment. The co-workers fled all the way to Buzhou Mountain, and when they looked back, they saw that the pursuers were approaching. The co-worker was ashamed and angry, so he hit the mountainside, and there was a loud "bang", but Zhou Shan actually broke the co-worker. As soon as the mountain fell, a catastrophe struck. It turns out that Buzhou Mountain is a big pillar that supports the sky, and as soon as the pillar is broken, half of the sky collapses, revealing a big hole in the stone bones, and suddenly the heavenly river pours down and floods. The famous allusion to the incompatibility of fire and water stems from this war. Later, there was the deeds of Nuwa refining colorful stones to make up for the sky, and the earth returned to normal.

Back to normal.

The battle between the water god Gonggong clan and the fire god Zhurong clan all occurred because of the "incompatibility of water and fire", which on the one hand illustrates the principle of water and fire restraint, that is, water and fire are born not to admire; On the other hand, it shows that some things are the basic instincts of nature and cannot be interfered with by human beings. Throughout the earth-shattering battle between the god of water and the god of fire in ancient times, there is no so-called justice and axioms, only the power of nature fighting. In this way, fire still has an advantage over water, otherwise the god of fire will not win, and the legendary Xiang Yu burned Afang Palace, not for three months. And the defeated water god Gonggong went to Buzhou Mountain because of anger, and his actions destroyed the natural world, Nuwa mended the sky and saved the natural world, everything comes from the sacred, great and ordinary nature.

The Gonggong clan is a family of water control. The Gonggong's method of water control is to flatten the high ground and fill in the low land. Build embankments on flat ground. Using earthen embankments to hold back the water, this method did not dredge the river, and the water would still overflow, so the water control of the Gonggong was finally failed!

Both Gonggong and his daughter, Houto, were proficient in agriculture. They specialize in the study of water conservancy in agricultural production. After inspecting the land situation of the tribe, it was found that in some places the terrain was too high, and it was difficult to water the fields; In some places, the terrain is too low and prone to flooding. In order to change this situation that was not conducive to agricultural production, Gonggong invented a method of building embankments to store water. The specific method is to transport the soil from the high ground to the low land and fill in the height. It is believed that filling up the depression can expand the cultivated area, and the highland can be leveled, which is conducive to water conservancy and irrigation, and is of great benefit to the development of agricultural production.

"Heaven and earth are also things. There is a shortage of things, so the former Nuwa clan refined five-color stones to make up for its shortcomings; It is enough to stand at the four poles. Later, the Gonggong clan and the decadent clan competed for the emperor, angry and could not touch the mountain, folded the pillar of heaven, the Jedi dimension, so the sky tilted to the northwest, and the sun, moon and stars were in place; The land is not satisfied with the southeast, so the rivers and rivers are returned. ”

"Co-work is a water disaster, so it is punished."

From Changsha Mountain to the northwest three hundred and seventy miles, it is called the mountain of Buzhou. Looking at the mountains of [fontanelle] in the north, the mountains of the mountains of the mountains of the mountains, looking at the sirish rivers in the east, the river is also submerged, and its original muddy bubbles. There is a good fruit, in fact, it is like a peach, its leaves are like jujubes, yellow and red, and it is not hard to eat. "The wife of Emperor Yan, the son of Chishui, listened to the Yanju of Yanju, the Yanju gave birth to the festival, the festival gave birth to the drama, the drama gave birth to Zhurong, and the Zhurong descended to the river, and worked together.

There are nine uncles of the Gonggong clan. Bo Jiu has that is, to dominate Kyushu. In fact, it is said that the Gonggong clan was once the lord of Kyushu, that is, a leader of the Central Plains tribal alliance. This reflects the fact that the nine clans lived in nine places, and the Gonggong clan was the primacy among them. Xu Xusheng said that the Gonggong clan lived in Huixian County, Henan Province. Guo Moruo said: The place where the Gonggong clan has been active for a long time is the Yishui and Luoshui basins in the western part of present-day Henan. This place was called Kyushu in ancient times, and it may have been derived from the nine clans of the Gonggong clan. Later, there was also the Kyushu Zhirong in the mountains to the west, which was probably continued by the remnants of the Gonggong clan.

This battle may also be passed down as Gonggong and Gao Xin ("Huainanzi Yuandao"); and Shennong ("Carved Jade Collection: Zhuangli"); and Zhu Rong ("Historical Records: Supplement to the Three Emperors"); Controversy with Nuwa ("Lu Shi Taiwu Ji"). Other legends such as Yu chasing the common worker, Yu killing the minister of the common worker, Xiang Liu, etc.

Regarding the record of the battle between Zhurong and Gonggong, "Historical Records: Supplement to the Three Emperors": "The princes have Gonggong clan, and Ren Zhi is punished by tyranny but not king; Riding wood with water is a blessing

The jade carving water god works together to melt the war. If you are not victorious and angry, your head will not touch the landslide, the heavenly pillar will break, and the earth will be lacking. This battle may also be said to be the dispute between Zhuan, Shennong, Nuwa, Gaoxin and Gonggong.

Gonggong is a descendant of the ancient legend of Shennong, belonging to the Yandi clan, as the god of water, Gonggong has a human face, hands and feet and the body of a snake. In the era of the Yellow Emperor's heir, Zhuan Xuan, he rebelled and was defeated by Zhuan, and Gonggong was so angry that he hit his head against Buzhou Mountain (the legendary pillar that supports the world), causing the world to tilt to the southeast. After that, the Gonggong continued to make chaos (representing the outbreak of the flood), and was finally ruled by Yu (referring to the success of the flood control).

"The co-worker has a snake face and red hair." Legend has it that Gonggong is the god of water. "The Seventeenth Year of Zhao Gong": "The Gonggong clan is named after the water discipline, so it is the name of the water master. "Guanzi Doudu": "The king of co-workers, the seventh tithing of the water, the third tithe of the land, take advantage of the power of the sky to control the husband." "Huainanzi Benjing Training": "When Shun is in time, the joint work vibrates the flood and uses the thin empty mulberry. "The most authored of the myth of Gonggong, so this war is actually a continuation of the Huangyan War. Yu is a figure in the Yellow Emperor system, and it is also the aftermath of the Huangyan War. The "Nuwa Mending the Sky" that is circulating in Qixian County, Henan Province today is called: Gonggong, Zhurong, Nuwa, coffin people are brothers and sisters. Gonggong and Zhurong because of the dispute over eating swan eggs, Gonggong can't hit the mountain, the sky collapses and floods, Nuwa has a move to make up for the sky, which seems to be more primitive. See "Worrying about the sky".

It is said that Gonggong's surname is Jiang and he is a descendant of Emperor Yan. Gonggong is another person who has made important contributions to the development of agricultural production after Shennong. He invented the method of building embankments to store water. Almost all of his legends are related to water, and the most famous story is: Gonggong Fufu touched Buzhou Mountain. The frequent flooding of the Yellow River threatened the survival of the tribes, and the Gonggong led everyone to fight bravely against the flood, and they adopted the method of "blocking" rather than "dredging" to control the water, which failed to cure the flood at all, but accumulated experience for future generations to control the flood. Gonggong is a hero of water control in China and is respected as the god of water by later generations. The never-say-die spirit of working together to control water is the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation. Later, he competed with Zhuan for the position of the leader of the tribal alliance, and Zhuan took advantage of the superstition of the people, claiming that Gonggong would "anger the heavens", causing Gonggong to lose support and eventually fail. In order to defend his great cause of water control, the co-workers committed suicide by hitting a mountain, in order to say, "Look, this has not 'angered the heavens'". The story of Gonggong and Zhuan fighting for the throne was later interpreted into the myth of "the mountain that is angry and untouchable".

Co-worker

Gonggong means to plan, attack, respect, and offer. The word "Gong" is written in oracle bone inscriptions in the shape of two hands carrying a square object, indicating the meaning of cooperation between the two hands. The word "gong" in the oracle bone inscription is written as "gong" and "mouth", and the shape of "gong" is a wood-cutting tool such as a jin adze, so the word "gong" in the oracle bone inscription indicates a craftsman who used a tool such as a jin adze to repair things or carry out such activities. It can be seen that the meaning of the word "co-work" is to cooperate to accomplish a complex thing. The construction of water conservancy is a relatively complex matter, in modern terms, it is a systematic project, which requires the cooperation of multiple types of work, hundreds of craftsmen, and a considerable degree of organization and coordination to complete. As the name "Gonggong" suggests, the Gonggong clan is a tribe that is good at organizing manpower to control water, and they specialize in the study of water conservancy in agricultural production.

"Fire and water are ruthless", water has great benefits and great harms, and once a mistake will bring huge losses to life and property. "Huainanzi Benjing Training": "When Shun, the joint work vibrates the flood, with a thin empty mulberry, the dragon gate is not opened, the Luliang is not developed, the Jianghuai is flowing, and the people are all on the hills and go to the trees. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Great Wilderness of the West": "There is Yu to attack the Gonggong National Mountain. "Xunzi Chengxiang Chapter" said: "Yu has merit, suppressed the Hong, for the people to eliminate harm and chase the common work, the north of the nine rivers, through the twelve Zhu Shu three rivers." "Shu Yaodian": "The flow works together in Youzhou, the donkey is in the Chongshan, the three seedlings are in the three dangers, the cangs are in the Yushan, and the four sins are salty in the world." "The original appearance of these ancient legends recorded in ancient books is not necessarily that the Gonggong tribe deliberately stirred up the flood to harm the world. The main methods of water control of the Gonggong tribe are to build embankments to retain water and flatten the highland and flatten the lowland, which may be very effective when used in a small area, but will inevitably fail when used in a large area. Babies can grow and develop normally on milk alone, but by the time they reach adolescence, they must rely on solid foods for nutrition. The same is true of water control. It is possible that during the period of Emperor Shun, the Gonggong tribe used the method of building embankments and retaining water to control the floods in large areas and even the Yellow River Basin, and as a result, the embankment burst accident, which brought a greater flood and was attacked and punished by Dayu, or exiled by Emperor Yao.

In fact, these stories can be interpreted in two ways.

First, as mentioned earlier, in the practice of water control, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes that will cause greater floods, not only to suffer from them, but also to the downstream tribes, and to be questioned by the Xingshi. The first element of combat is the organization and discipline of the army, and the descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Gao Xin are all good at military organization; The organizational ability of the Gonggong tribe mainly comes from the practice of water control, which is far inferior to that of Zhuan and Gaoxin, and defeat in the war is inevitable. However, the Gonggong tribe did not fall down, but continued the difficult exploration of the great cause of water control in the predicament, and was a never-say-die hero of water control. Of course, it cannot be denied that at a certain time, the Gonggong tribe was so angry that they were not understood by the world and were defeated, so they turned to break the embankment and release water in order to destroy together with this "unreasonable" world, that is, "the mountain of anger that does not touch the heart". When the embankment bursts, the cliff often collapses under the impact of the flood, and there is indeed a tendency for the sky to collapse. It is conceivable that under the limited capabilities of human beings at that time, an earthen embankment surrounded by an ocean flood was undoubtedly a weapon of mass destruction with destructive power, which may also be the reason why the Gonggong's method of building embankments to hold back water was often criticized for crusade.

Second, as early as the late Nuwa or Shennong era, the Gonggong clan was a tribe that took water control and water conservancy as its own responsibility, which can be said to have created a Gonggong era of developing agriculture by controlling water and building water conservancy. It's just that this era overlaps with the era of the Five Emperors pioneered by the Yellow Emperor, which is the development process of civilization at the national political level and belongs to the superstructure; The Gonggong era was the development process of civilization at the level of agricultural technology, which belonged to the economic foundation.

Although the Gonggong clan has been described by many legends as "brutal and evil-doer", he has always been revered by the people because of his divine powers and his close connection to the lives of the first people. In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is recorded that "the platform of the common work, the shooter does not dare to go north (to)", which expresses this primitive awe. The efforts of the Gonggong clan finally led to the great victory of mankind in controlling the floods, improving the survival ability of human beings, changing the living environment of human beings, and promoting them to the Three Emperors.
