Chapter 267: Ancient Legends
For the dragon culture in China, those Westerners only know one but do not know the other, and legends about dragons abound in my Chinese land!
According to the "Overseas Southern Longitude" cloud of the Classic of Mountains and Seas: "Zhurong in the South, the body of the beast and the human face, take two dragons", and the cloud of "Overseas Western Longitude": "The field of great happiness, the beginning of the summer, dance here for nine generations;
The left hand is the ring, the right hand is the ring, and Pei Yuhuang. In the north of Universiade Mountain, one said: "The Great Relic of the Wild", "Overseas Western Longitude" cloud: "The West is harvested, there is a snake in the left ear, take two dragons", "Overseas East Longitude" cloud: "Oriental Jumang, bird body and human face, take two dragons!"
"The North Longitude of the Sea" cloud: "The abyss of the longitudinal pole,...... Bingyi human face, take two dragons", "Great Wilderness West Longitude" cloud: "Outside the southwest sea, south of Chishui, west of quicksand, there are two green snakes, take two dragons, the name says: "open after summer"
"Overseas Southern Longitude" cloud: "The north is strong, the human face is a bird's body, and the two green snakes are practiced." (Guo Pu's note) cloud: "Northern Yujiang, black body and siblings, riding two dragons" "Zhurong", "Qi", "Harvest", "Jumang", "Bingyi", "Kai (Qi)", "Yujiang" are not included in the Three Emperors and Five Emperors!
Most of them are not well-known in Chinese history, but they were all a generation of emperors or princes in ancient China, and the biggest feature of their difference from ordinary people is to go out to "ride the dragon", because the "dragon" is a special mount given to the identity of the ancient emperor in ancient history, and its symbol, so many documents have records about the ancient emperor "riding the dragon"!
In addition to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there is also a record of the same meaning in the "Five Emperors", the literature cloud: "The Yellow Emperor rode the dragon and the clouds, and the virtue of heaven and earth;
Emperor Yu rode a dragon in spring and summer, and a horse in autumn and winter. Hold on to the middle and get the world", this historical material also introduces the "Yellow Emperor", "Zhuan", "Emperor Yu" riding the dragon and traveling the world, secondly, about the ancient emperor "riding the dragon" historical materials, but also recorded in the "Legend of the Immortals" and other ancient books!
"The Legend of the Immortals" told us the methods of the ancients to raise dragons and ride dragons, and the literature said: "The dragon rider seeks the dragon son in the pool, like guarding the palace, more than ten heads, and the knot is guarded and raised, and the dragon is a little gone!"
After more than 50 years, the water spoiled its house, and once, the dragon came. , Lingyang Ziming, good fishing, catch the white dragon, Ziming eats. ...... Three years, the white dragon came to welcome. , Ma Shihuang, Yellow Emperor Horse Doctor!
There is a dragon, the lop ear opens the mouth, the master needles his lips, and drinks licorice soup to heal. After that, once the emperor was gone. Tao'an Gong, Lu'an Casting and Smelting Master, one day...... Suzaku Zhiye said: 'An Gongye and Tiantong, welcome you with a red dragon on July 7!'
'At the end of the period, the red dragon came, An Gong rode it, the heavy rain in the southeast, went up, called the first, Hanzhong Guan under the divination master, and the old man had more than one year,...... The son first holds a concubine, and the concubine rides together, rides the dragon, and goes to Huayin Mountain."
"Feng Zen Book" and clouds: "The Yellow Emperor picks the first mountain copper, casts the tripod under the Jing Mountain, the tripod is completed, there is a dragon hanging down the beard to welcome the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor rides, the harem of the ministers from the top more than 70 people, the dragon is up!"
The rest of the ministers are not allowed to go up, but they hold the dragon hair, the dragon hair pulls, falls, falls into the bow of the Yellow Emperor, the people look up to the Yellow Emperor both to the sky, but to hold his bow and beard, so the future generations because of the name of its place called Dinghu, its bow called the black number......"
For thousands of years, the secret of the ancient emperors and ancients "riding the dragon" that has been hovering in the minds of our Chinese people, and the cultural relics of the ancients riding the dragon that have been lying underground in Puyang for 6,500 years have proved the historical facts of the ancient emperors and the ancients riding the dragon recorded in historical documents such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Dadaili", and "The Legend of the Immortals"!
From the fact that the documents and cultural relics coincide, it can be imagined that in fact, many records about dragons in ancient documents may not be the lies of the ancients! Due to the "Zhou Yi", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Da Dai Li", "The Legend of the Immortals", and "Historical Records", the stories of the ancient emperors "Feng Long" and "Cheng Long" recorded in these Chinese historical Yuan Classics are too simple, too simple, and too far away from us!
In ancient times, "ride" had the meaning of "relying on", "controlling", and "dragon" was "Sichuan". "Take two dragons" is to govern the two major rivers, "the emperor takes the dragon in spring and summer, and rides a horse in autumn and winter." The true proof of the meaning of this account!
In ancient times, the representative of the Xia tribe was the dragon that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the divinity is getting stronger and stronger, it is said that when Kun was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to control the water, he saw that the people on the ground at that time were invaded by the flood, fleeing in all directions, unable to hunt and farm, and almost unable to survive!
But the only way Kun can think of a flood of this magnitude is to contain it. Seeing these floods continue to break through his dikes and dams, Kun can no longer bear the powerlessness of watching mortals suffer but unable to do anything about it!
So he decided to steal the treasure of the Heavenly Court, the "Resting Soil", a kind of soil that would grow continuously, so that the containment of the Kui would no longer fail, and with the help of the "Resting Soil", the mortals were freed from the disaster of the Flood, and began to leave the barren hills and caves to start living again on the ground!
Kun was very relieved to see that these mortals were able to start living and working in peace and contentment because of his help, and when he was about to go back to the Heavenly Court to make a mission, Yao, the master of the Heavenly Realm, was very angry that the "Xiyang" had been stolen!
So he took back the "resting soil" and let the flood ravage the ground again, and the original scene of living and working in peace and contentment became an ocean again, and Kun was helpless, not only could not save these mortals, but he was also killed by Yao with thunder and lightning!
After being killed by lightning and lightning, the Kun, who failed to control the water, was full of resentment, not only did he not see what he died, but his body did not decay after three years.
So he sent warriors to dissect Kun's body with a sharp Wu knife, but he didn't expect Kun's resentment to accumulate in his abdomen and turn into a yellow dragon, which is also Kun's son Yu!
The "dragon slashing platform" and "staggered gorge" in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River are said to be the place where Yu cut off a dragon that opened the waterway and almost missed a major event, and then established the Xia Dynasty, which is not only the first dynasty in Chinese history, but also a clan with the dragon as a totem!
The reason why Yu was able to establish the first dynasty was because of Yu's efforts to govern water conservancy, and the most famous water conservancy was "Yu Wang Suojiao", legend has it that Longmen Mountain was originally an evil dragon that blocked the Yellow River from entering the sea!
This evil dragon has the smallest dragon, called "Jiao", don't look at Jiao is as small as a seven-inch snake, but the magic power is so great that it can set off three waves on the flat ground, the evil dragon blocks the river, Jiao often coils on the head of the flood, so that the big water swallows the fields like a beast of prey, hurting people and animals!
The people of Li have long hated the evil dragon and the evil Jiao, and when people saw the big water, they knew that Jiao was doing something wrong, so that the people of Hancheng still called the flood everywhere "Flat Land Jiao"!
