Chapter 15 Jade Dragon Chang'e returns to the West Sea, and there are many interesting anecdotes about the cycle of life and death

Section 17: The jade dragon changed into the 'young master of the palace' culture, and the son of the sage was named Bi Fujian

[Narrator] It is said that after the marriage between the Heavenly Court Oiran Chang'e and the Marshal of the Jade Dragon, they chose to travel on their honeymoon, and the queen mother asked for leave to take the opportunity of the honeymoon to visit the West Sea to visit the parents of the Jade Dragon and the subordinates of the Jade Dragon when he was in charge of Dongting Lake.

How can you see a rainbow without wind and rain! How can you produce a jade dragon without tempering! There is a dragon king temple, where there is a Guanyin Pavilion!

Chang'e's mother-in-law and Jade Dragon's mother-Lulu, in the 'Commander Suite' of the Xihai Dragon Palace Guest House, told Chang'e about the two reincarnations of life and death before the Jade Dragon was tempered in Tianzigang!

"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', that was in the 11th century B.C., you weren't born yet! You should know more about the geography of Chinese mainland than I do! Today, I will test you: people in southern China call water systems rivers, such as the Yangtze River, Xiangjiang River, Wujiang River, Ganjiang River, etc. People in the Central Plains and northern China refer to water systems as rivers, such as the Yellow River, Hai River, Huai River, etc. The water systems in Northeast China from the north of the Liao River are called rivers, such as the Yalu River, the Songhua River, the Nenjiang River, the Heilongjiang River, the Ussuri River, etc. What is the reason for this? Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly to Chang'e!

"Bodhisattva, I really haven't studied this question yet! Could it be that this question is related to the second reincarnation of life and death of the Jade Dragon! Chang'e asked Guanyin Bodhisattva what she said.

"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', this question really got you right! Chinese mortals call the water system north of the Liao River Jiang, which is really related to the second cycle of life and death of the Jade Dragon! If there is no Jade Dragon's second reincarnation of life and death. The water system north of the Liao River in China may not necessarily be called a river! Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly to Chang'e!

"Bodhisattva. The second cycle of life and death of the Jade Dragon. Is it documented in historical documents? Chang'e asked Guanyin Bodhisattva softly.

"'The envoy of the god of beauty', the second cycle of life and death of the jade dragon, is not only not recorded by the literati of the Chinese dynasties, but also by myths and legends! But in the era when the tribe divided and ruled, the jade dragon really experienced this reincarnation! Nowadays, the water systems in northern China from the north of the Liao River are called rivers, such as the Yalu River, the Songhua River, the Nenjiang River, the Heilongjiang River, the Ussuri River, etc., which are the reincarnation of the jade dragon from the south to the north. It was the Jade Dragon who called the water system a river according to the habit of the southerners! Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly to Chang'e!

"Bodhisattva, in this way, the second reincarnation of life and death of the Jade Dragon still has historical significance!" Chang'e asked Guanyin Bodhisattva softly.

"'Beauty God Envoy', the second reincarnation of life and death of the Jade Dragon, not only completed the evolution from a dragon to a human, but also in the mortal world, the Jade Dragon actually became the 'originator of the messenger' that spread civilization!" Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly to Chang'e!

"Bodhisattva, the second reincarnation of life and death of the Jade Dragon, has become the 'originator of the messenger' of spreading civilization! What specific civilization content did the Jade Dragon propagate? Chang'e asked Guanyin Bodhisattva softly.

"'Envoy of the God of Beauty'. In that era of tribal division, each tribe had its own way of survival. There is a big difference in the level of civilization between the tribes! There is a greater difference in the degree of civilization between the large tribes in the Central Plains of China and the smaller tribes in the border areas. The second reincarnation of the jade dragon was in the 11th century BC. In which era, the tribes of the Central Plains of China have developed to the age when they can smelt bronze and use bronze to make hot pot. And the small tribes on the border of China are still stuck in the era of 'slash-and-burn'! It can be said that it was during the second reincarnation of life and death of Yulong that he spread the living customs of the people of southern China, especially the Hunan people, who are known as the land of fish and rice, to the Gaogou (sentence) Li tribe north of the Liao River. For example, Hunan people grow rice; eat chili peppers; brewing glutinous rice wine; brewing rice (water) wine; drowning kimchi; eat hot pot in winter; Kill dogs with boiling water to remove hair (northerners kill dogs and peel them); The luncheon of the relatives and friends of the wife and the daughter is at the bride's house; The dinner was held at the man's groom's house. And, of course, calling the water system a river, not a river! Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly to Chang'e!

"Bodhisattva, you began to say that the Jade Dragon's second reincarnation of life and death entered the womb of the wife of an emperor's 'court master' (an official who tutored the crown prince) and became the son of a true cultural saint; The second reincarnation of life and death of the Jade Dragon seems to be really mysterious! We've been talking for a long time, and now it's time for you to reveal the mystery! Chang'e asked Guanyin Bodhisattva softly.

'Alright!' The Envoy of the God of Beauty', this is a useless story that was screened by the author of "Romance of the Gods"! So, Guanyin Bodhisattva whispered to Chang'e and told a useless story that was screened by the author of "Romance of the Gods"!

The story takes place in the 11th century BC during the reign of the Shang Dynasty of China.

Seeing that the first reincarnation of the thirteen princes of the Jade Dragon was mainly 'further study' and 'martial arts', the King of the Western (Bo) Sea Dragon King Ao Yan decided to focus on the second reincarnation of the thirteen princes of the Jade Dragon 'further study' and 'liberal arts'! As a result, Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea, turned the thirteen princes of the Jade Dragon into essence blood and reincarnated into the womb of the wife of the prince's uncle, Bi Gan, the 'young master of the palace court' (the official who tutored the crown prince), and became Bi Gan's second son, named 'Bi Fujian'! 'Bi Fujian' is gifted and intelligent, and has an excellent memory. Bi Gan was originally an official who tutored the crown prince - the 'young master of the palace', and he was naturally doubly concerned about the cultural education of his son 'Bi Fujian'! Therefore, when Bi Fujian was twenty years old, he became a military commander who combined 'first-class literary talents and first-class martial arts'. In the year when Bi Fujian was 30 years old, that is, the year when his father was killed by King Xu's 'digging out of his heart' (dirty), Bi Fujian was already the 'capital commander' (equivalent to the commander of the military region in the modern army) in the army of 'Liangguang' (Guangdong Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region) and 'Lianghu' (Hunan Province and Hubei Province). The command organ of Bi Fujian's leading army is stationed in the Hengshan area of Nanyue, Hunan! Bi Fujian married the local beauty queen Lihua with the surname Wang. In the second year of Bi Fujian and Wang Lihua's marriage, Wang Lihua gave birth to twins of two boys, the eldest named Bi Gong; The second child is named Bi Jing! Wang Lihua is a very hardworking peasant beauty. After she married Bi Fujian, an officer. It quickly adapted to the characteristics of the army's high mobility! She takes care of the daily life of her officer's husband very carefully. In addition to raising her two sons. Every year, we have to reclaim wasteland in front of and behind our houses in the army station to grow vegetables, raise chickens and dogs, and use them to adjust and improve the lives of our families! Over time, Wang Lihua developed the habit and hobby of collecting seeds! No matter where her husband Bi Fujian's troops move to the southeast, northwest, and northwest, she will take all kinds of vegetable seeds she leaves behind every year with her and plant them in the new garrison area! Wang Lihua became the originator of spreading the "animals and plants" of the north and the south, including chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, poultry and vegetable species (seeds)! That's a story for later, so leave it at that!

On a late summer and early autumn afternoon, Bi Fujian rode a war horse alone. Came to the main peak of Nanyue Hengshan Temple. Bi Fujian's mood was even more irritable today. Two days ago, at about ten o'clock in the morning, his heart suddenly had a knife-like pain that he had never felt before! In the past two days, he has been very depressed! He already had a premonition that something terrible might have happened to his parents, brothers and sisters who remained in the city of Kyoto Mo (Chaoge, present-day Qi County, Henan Province)! Today, he has lost the mood to run military affairs! He told the adjutant that he was a little upset and wanted to go to the main peak of Hengshan Temple alone! Bi Fujian came to the top of the main peak of Hengshan Temple, tied his war horse, stood on a protruding stone at the top of the mountain, and looked at the Xiangjiang River rolling north. Seeing the red maple leaves all over the mountains, I recalled my military career for more than ten years. On the battlefield, the life and death struggle, how many loyal bones of the fallen soldiers who charged into battle are left in the mountains and rivers in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the motherland every year; Every year, how many energetic and enthusiastic young people devote themselves to the army - specializing in the game of life and death! Bi Fujian's heart fluctuated and was poetic. He moaned casually:

Siege the city and plunder the land to destroy the east

The horizontal knife immediately solidifies the border

Sacrifice life and forget death to build a great cause

Serve the country loyally and stay alive

、、、、、、

"Bidutong! There is a 'military intelligence express'! "Just as Bi Fujian was pondering and writing poems, the adjutant rode a fast horse and delivered a 'military information express' stamped with the word "top secret" from the military headquarters of the capital Mo (Chaoge, now Qi County, Henan Province). Bi Fujian quickly opened the 'Military Intelligence Express', unfolded it, his eyes were full of tears, and he immediately handed it over to the adjutant! The adjutant looked at Bi Dutong's grief-stricken form, took the 'military intelligence express', and saw that the content of the 'express' was: "Bi Dutong (Bi Fujian) parents died of a sudden illness, and they quickly returned to Mo for funeral!" Dixin! "When Bi Fujian was reading the 'Military Intelligence Express', he deliberately paid attention to the fact that the payment time was a certain time and a certain minute in a certain year and a certain month in a certain year BC, that is, two days ago at three o'clock in the afternoon! It was the time after a sudden spurt of pain in his heart that he had never felt before.

"Adjutant, I want to go back to the funeral, and you will be fully responsible for the affairs of the army during this period! I have a premonition that both my parents are dead, and something strange happened! This change is not trivial! I will leave this position, and the King will soon send a new Governor to take my place! If I can't come back, you will protect my wife and children (family and children), and then run to me according to the legend! With tears in his eyes, Bi Fujian held the adjutant's hands with both hands, and said word by word!

"Bi Dutong, you have to take care! There is really a change, please rest assured, my sister-in-law and nephew will be handed over to me! If you can't come back, I will do my best to protect them to find you! With tears in his eyes, the adjutant held Bi Fujian's hands with both hands, and said word by word!

After Bi Fujian explained some housework to the adjutant, he immediately bought two meters of white cotton cloth at the nearest cloth store in Hengshan, Nanyue. According to the customs of the southerners (Hunanese), children need to wear linen and filial piety for the funeral of their elders! Bi Fujian casually tore the two-meter-long and one-meter-wide white cotton cloth in half, tied half of it around his waist and half around his head. The two-meter-long and half-meter-wide calico cloth wrapped around the head is only half used, and the other half is about a meter long. Bi Fujian wore such a mourning filial piety dress decoration, rode a fast horse, and went all the way to the north, running to the capital Mo (Chaoge, now Qi County, Henan Province)!

[Narrator] Bi Fujian tied a white cotton cloth around his waist that day, and wrapped a piece of white cotton cloth around his head that swayed back and forth, originally returning to the capital city of Mo (Chaoge, now Qi County, Henan Province) to mourn his parents, and later met the housekeeper (Tao Yanhong) to inform his parents that he had been killed by the king of Zhou, and according to the housekeeper's instructions, he escaped all the way north to the east of Shanhaiguan. Bi Fujian wore this unique costume and came to the Gaogou (sentence) Li tribe north of the Liao River. Bi Fujian was thrown by the daughter (princess) of the leader of the Li tribe (princess) Pu Cuihua when she was selected as her husband and also wore this unique costume! Therefore, the people of the Gaogou (sentence) Li tribe. They all feel that Bi Fujian's unique costume is a man's mascot. Afterward. A young man from the Gao Gou (sentence) Li tribe. The school imitations who came came wore the unique costume that Bi Fujian wore back then, and courted (married) the girl he liked. Later, the unique costume worn by Bi Fujian was interpreted by the young men of this tribe into a unique national costume for dancing festivals! That's a story for later, so leave it at that!

Bi Fujian was dressed in a filial piety dress decorated with white cloth, riding on a fast-galloping war horse, his heart like a tumbling wave. He believed in his own inspiration, and the death of his parents must have been killed by the King of Xu! Both parents died suddenly. Woe will be! Bi Fujian knows very well that Di Xin (纣王, also known as Di Xin) is a debaucherous and cruel demon (纣) king! He kills people like hemp, but he didn't expect to let go of even his own uncles and aunts!

Bi Fujian grew up in the capital city of Mo (Chaoge, now Qi County, Henan Province) since he was a child, and he knew very well what the King of Xuan had done! Di Xin should also be called an outstanding figure among our brothers of the same age and clan! Di Xin's appearance can be called a handsome man among men, and he definitely belongs to the idol of beauties! Di Xin was indeed an extraordinary figure as well. He was tall, handsome, and extremely brave. He could fight ferocious beasts with his bare hands, and he could drag a cart pulled by a few oxen to run backwards. You can change the joists and columns by yourself, and lift the girders to the roof. And that's not all. He is also very intelligent, eloquent, and very learned! During his reign, he attacked Dongyi many times and captured a large number of slaves. He also operated in the southeast, so that the Central Plains culture spread to the Huai River and the Yangtze River valley, and played a certain role in establishing the scale of China's unification.

Bi Fujian grew up in the capital city of Mo (Chaoge, now Qi County, Henan Province), and he was very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of King Su as a king! Although Di Xin has excellent conditions of courage and talent, he has not been able to play his due role in Di Xin! Di Xin's own quality, both civil and military, not only did not become a good condition for governing the country and rejuvenating the country, but became his capital for lewdness and tyranny. His knowledge of the abyss became a shield for him to reject the admonitions of his courtiers; His eloquence has become a fig leaf for his exaggeration. He is arrogant, empty-eyed, and calls himself the king of heaven. None of the hundreds of officials under his command were looked down upon by him. Think that all the people of the world are stupid scoundrels.

Bi Fujian grew up in the capital city of Mo (Chaoge, now Qi County, Henan Province), and he was very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of King Su as a king! Di Xin is indeed a generation of desolate and cruel emperors! In order to satisfy his own desire for poverty and luxury, Di Xin did not hesitate to brutally exploit the working people. He did not hesitate to spend a lot of financial resources, drove thousands of slaves, and spent seven years to build a deer platform in the capital Chaoge. This deer platform is surrounded by three miles, up to 1,000 feet, of which five steps are on the first floor, and ten steps are on the first floor. Standing on the high place of Lutai, looking into the distance, not only the capital is close to the eye, as if the clouds and rain are below it. Di Xin later also built the Tilting Palace, Qiong Room, Yaotai; The scale is larger than Lutai, and it is all decorated with jade. Di Xin also put the BMW and famous dogs collected from all over the world and the beauties forcibly selected from the people in the palace. He also deliberately opened up a large garden and stocked many rare birds and animals in the garden. He imitated Xia Wei's practice, and also dug a large pond in the garden, filled it with wine, and hung roasted meat on the branches, so that the royal nobles who visited the garden could drink wine and eat meat at any time. He also asked a musician named Juan to compose many lewd songs, accompanied by new lascivious dances, for his own amusement and that of his cronies. Let a large group of young men and women strip naked, naked, chase after me in the wine pond and meat forest, laugh and laugh, and do unsightly actions to satisfy the animal desire of themselves (Di Xin) and the shameless palace nobles.

Bi Fujian grew up in the capital city of Mo (Chaoge, now Qi County, Henan Province), and he was very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of King Su as a king! Di Xin is not only a debaucherous faint king, but also a demon king who kills people without blinking! He can kill when he is happy or unhappy. In order to win the favor of his favorite concubine Daji, he arbitrarily beheaded and chopped off the feet of passers-by; Even caesarean section to take the fetus and so on. Once, Di Xin's cook cooked bear paws for the king of Xu, maybe the fire was not very home, maybe it was not quite to the taste of 'Di Xin', and in a fit of rage, he killed the cook. Di Xin is very fond of his favorite concubine Daji and is obedient. One morning, Di Xin was looking out with Daji on the deer platform, and saw an old man on the bank of Qishui outside the capital, who was rolling up his trousers and bare feet, about to wade across the river. But he lingered by the river and hesitated, not daring to go into the water. Then a young man in the prime of life came to the river and waded across the river without hesitation. Di Xin asked what was the reason for the observance. One of the attendants said: The old man has no bone marrow, and he is afraid of the cold in the morning, so he does not dare to go into the water. Di Xin ordered the executioners to take the old man and cut off his feet to see if the marrow in his leg bones was real. When Di Xin heard that the Ninth Marquis had a beautiful and virtuous daughter, he ordered her to be taken away as his concubine. But this fiery girl refused to be the plaything of the faint king, and did not listen to Di Xin's mercy. Di Xin killed her in a fit of rage, and also killed her father, the Jiuhou Ye's family. A outspoken and daring minister came forward to ask Di Xin for the pardon of the innocent father and daughter of the Nine Marquis. This angered Di Xin even more, he not only killed the father and daughter of the Nine Marquis, but also killed the brave and upright minister Ehou, and cut off the meat on his body piece by piece, and roasted it into jerky with pigs, cattle and horses, which was specially used by the nobles of the palace as a side dish.

In order to silence the upright and kind people from speaking ill of him, Di Xin specially set up a kind of torture called 'cannon branding' to punish his courtiers who dared to oppose him. This kind of 'cannon branding' is to grease a copper pillar and grill it on a charcoal fire, so that the living people (who oppose the king of the Zhou and are condemned as sinners by the king of the Zhou) walk on it barefoot until they are roasted to death and become jerky. Later, Emperor Xin also came up with the ingenuity of sometimes roasting whole wild boars, whole bison, whole wild horses, and whole goats he had hunted on a 'cannon brand' and roasted them into jerky, which was then used as a delicacy for drinking! In a sense, Di Xin (纣王) actually became the originator of the invention of 'barbecue jerky'!
