1198 The Old Gods (7)

(Does Pangu have a wife, if so, who is his wife, this may always be an unsolved mystery, because the two parties are estimated to be dead, even if there is a reincarnation, it is no longer the former one, Pangu is the dragon head snake body, we follow this clue all the way down, and find another great power, that is Nuwa, we are not too familiar with the story of Nuwa mending the sky, but if it is connected before and after, we can still find some interesting places, the following information comes from Du Niang, Nuwa mythology, From the initial Nuwa transforming into a god, then to Nuwa's transformation into all things to Nuwa's creation of human beings and mending the heavens, this series of feats are all carried out in a state of opposition between heaven and earth.

Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Nuwa was in a state of no heaven and no land before.

Since the birth of Nuwa, she first incarnated as a god, and the appearance of the god led to the birth of heaven, and then Nuwa incarnated all things, followed by the appearance of all things, and the earth also appeared, and at this time the heaven and earth were peaceful.

It can be seen from the records of Nuwa in Qin and Han classics such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the West", "Chu Ci: Tianwen", and "Shuowen Jie Zi" that Nuwa herself became all things and gods, which is consistent with the idea that the body organs of the ancient gods turned into all things (and the gods) after the fall of the ancient gods in the creation myths of various peoples in the world [after Pangu opened the sky, the body turned into heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, in a sense, these two are the same].

Since the later Pangu mythology and other minority creation myths also contain the content of physical incarnation of all things and gods, this affirmation also adds a bit of reliability.

Comparing Nuwa with the ancient creation myths recorded in various countries, in fact, this description indicates that at the beginning of the creation of the world, before everything else, the material used by the gods to create could only be their own bodies.

Scholars have drawn conclusions from the study of ancient books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Huainanzi", "Chu Ci", "Customs and Customs", "Notes on the Water Classic", "Duyizhi" and "Taiping Yulan", and believe that the most outstanding achievement of Nuwa, one of the mythological and legendary figures, is "making people from the soil"

, "Refining Stones to Mend the Sky"

, "Shenggong Spring"

and "Marriage, Husband and Wife"

Wait.

However, there is one point that is often overlooked, and that is that Nuwa is the creator of all things in the world, as reflected in the folk living myths and legends.

In many parts of China, there are legends that Nuwa made chickens on the first day of the first lunar month, dogs on the second day of the first lunar month, pigs on the third lunar month, sheep on the fourth lunar month, cattle on the fifth lunar month, horses on the sixth lunar month, and human beings on the seventh lunar month.

Some living myths also say that Nuwa's body became land, her bones became mountains, her hair became grass and trees, and her blood became rivers, just like the great god Pangu who created the world.

These living myths and legends are the continuation of ancient beliefs among today's people, and deserve special attention.

The ancients believed that chickens, dogs, pigs, and sheep represented the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and that cows and horses represented the earth and heaven.

That's why Ban Gu said in "Hanshu Chronicles of the Law" that "the seven, the four seasons of heaven and earth, and the beginning of man." ”

This is the seventh day of the first lunar month called "Human Day"

one of the sources.

Xu Shen's "Sayings" also emphasized: "Wa, the holy daughter of the ancients, is also the one who nurtures all things." ”

[Then that's not right, the words here coincide with what Pangu is doing, unless, these are two worlds! ]

In other words, Nuwa and Pangu are two sides of one body] That is to say, Nuwa is not only a heroine who refines stones to make up the sky and a goddess who creates man, but also a great god of nature who creates all things.

According to the record of "Changsha Bullet Kuchu Silk Book", there was heaven and earth when Nuwa Fuxi created things, but it was still a barren place, so Fuxi married Nuwa, gave birth to four children, and named all things.

[What is here is that you can continue to push down the route of Pangu mythology, but there is a question, why does Nuwa look like a person, you must know that Nuwa pinched people according to her own image, if the Pangu boss is still alive, if he pinches people, he will definitely pinch out a group of people with dragon heads and snake bodies, I have never seen the dragon head snake body, but I have seen the lizard-headed snake body, that is Naga, that is to say, if it is Pangu who created people instead of Nuwa, the human beings in the desolate world may be a Naga-like, Naga doesn't live on land anymore, at least she's a lizardman.

As for the birth of the Nuwa boss, according to legend, Hua Xu of the Fenggon tribe went out, and inadvertently saw a large footprint in Lei Ze, and the curious Hua Xu measured the footprints of adults with her footprints, and unconsciously induced conception [This should be Yehe, don't think I don't know, the desolate world also has to talk about the basic laws of reproduction, even if it is a powerful reincarnation, there must be reincarnation], giving birth to Fuxi.

Fuxi's head snake body [If this is the case, can you guess that Fuxi is the reincarnation of Pangu, at least part of the reincarnation, and the human body is inherited from the maternal side, and the snake body is left over from the previous life].

Fuxi also has a half-sister (a brother and sister?).

Don't tease me!

), conceived by Hua Xu's marriage (Hua Xu's late matriarchal society) is called Nuwa, called Nu Xi (ζœ‰θŸœ [jiǎo, some kind of poisonous insect?).

But I haven't seen it).

"Poetry: Divine Mist": "The great trace comes out of Lei Ze, Hua Xu walks on it, and he sacrifices his life." ”

and "Imperial Century" contains: "In the world of the Suiren, there are traces of giants, out of Lei Ze, Hua Xu walks on his feet, there are pregnancies, born in Chengji, snake body and human face [such a nonsense record, we really can't believe it]." ”

"Song Shu Fu Ruizhi" also said, "The mother of Dahao's sacrifice, the Zhu of Juhuaxu, the traces of giants, the intention is moved and Dahao is born [the intention is moved, can I understand it as a divine friend?" 】。 ”

There is also a legend that Nuwa and Fuxi married each other by blood, and established a marriage system and rules with Fuxi.

The Records of the Three Emperors records that Nuwa managed the clan after Fuxi's death and made some musical instruments called sheng tongs, so people worshiped Nuwa as one of the originators of music.

First, Nuwa is a historical figure who really existed, and the area where the Nuwa tribe was active has been described in ancient history.

"Shiben Surname Chapter" contains: "Female name, the emperor sealed his younger brother in the sun of Rushui, and later became the son of heaven, because he was called the empress. "The emperor refers to Fuxi, and the younger brother reads Rudi. Rushui originates from the west foot of Longchi Manshan in Song County, Henan Province, and flows through Ruyang, Jiaxian, Wuyang, Runan, Xincai to Huaibin and enters the Huai River. You were supposed to be a woman, and Guy got her name because it was the place of residence of the Nuwa people. This shows that the NΓΌwa people live in the south along the Rushui River. "Sui Shu Geographical Chronicles" Jiyuan County, Hanoi County, has a "Mother Mountain", that is, the Queen Mother Mountain. The first volume of the Northern Song Dynasty's "Xinding Nine Domains" says: "Huangmu Mountain, also known as Nuwa Mountain. There is a shrine on it, and the people pray for it when there is a drought and water. Gu Zuyu's "Reading the Minutes of Reading History and Public Opinion" volume 46 "Henan One" said: "Taihang Mountain, a five-element mountain, also known as the Queen Mother Mountain, also known as Nuwa Mountain. This shows that the area of Nuwa tribe activities reaches Jiyuan in the north and the southern foot of Taihang Mountain in Mengxian County. The ancient history of Nuwa's mausoleum is also recorded, but the accounts are different. Legend has it that Nuwa lived on the Loess Plateau, and her mausoleum is located in Hou Village, east of Zhaocheng Town, Hongdong County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. The existence of the Nuwa Mausoleum may be more than three or four thousand years, and like the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, it is also a temple dedicated to ancient Chinese emperors [Wait a minute, I will find out where is the Nuwa Temple worshiped by the King of Xu?] Original text of the gods: The next day, the Son of Heaven took the chariot, accompanied by two classes of civil and military, and went to Nuwa Palace to incense. …… Drive out of the south gate of Chaoge, every family burns incense and sets fires, and every household makes colorful carpets. Three thousand iron horses, eight hundred royal forests, Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, escorted, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. Go to Nuwa Palace. The Son of Heaven left the chariot, went to the main hall, and was in the incense burner; The civil and military came with the class to congratulate him. The king of the palace looked at the magnificence. According to the words of this paragraph, it should be near Chaoge, otherwise, unless I am blind to so many people traveling, the weight of grain and grass is definitely a big problem, and Chaoge is located in Qi County, Hebi, in the north of Henan Province. The Shang Dynasty Pangeng moved the capital to Yin (that is, Chaoge, now Qi County), Pangeng built the capital here, and renamed Chaoge. After Zhou destroyed Shang, it was divided into three parts. To the north of Chaoge is Shao, to the east is Hu, and to the south is Wei. Uncle Feng Kang established the defense of the country, all in 403. In the Han Dynasty, Chaoge County was placed, and in the Yuan Dynasty, Qizhou was placed, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to Qi County. The problem is that our world is at least different from the position in the god list, otherwise one Shanxi and one Henan, even if it is now it will take half a day to run over, in that era, even if the per capita strength of the god period is off the charts, at least the strength of the small soldiers will not be outrageous, so Nuwa Palace must be near Chaoge! 】。 Around the 10th day of the third lunar month every year, large-scale temple fairs and sacrificial activities are held for up to 7 days. There are also Shanxi Ruicheng said, Henan Shaanzhou said, Henan Rencheng said, Shandong Jining said, and so on. From the above documents, it can be seen that the area of activity of the Nuwa clan was roughly centered on present-day Luoyang, from Rushui in the south, to Taihang in the north, from Tongguan in the west, to the west of present-day Shandong. Nuwa is most famous for two things, the first is to mend the sky! The legend of Nuwa mending the sky is related, and it is recorded in the ancient books "Liezi Tangwen", "Huainanzi Lan Yin Xun", and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". In the early days, Nuwa mended the sky, and there was no intersection with the Gonggong War, not only did there be keywords such as Gonggong, Zhurong, and Buzhoushan, but there was no explicit record of the reasons for the collapse of the sky and the disaster, and the language was unknown [here may not be self-justifying, that is, the brain hole is not big enough, so simply brushwork in the Spring and Autumn Period]. It can be seen that in the ancient period of the pre-Qin Dynasty, Nuwa's refining stones to make up the sky and the Gonggong angrily touching Buzhou Mountain were two completely independent stories, which were welded together by Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the early Qin and Han dynasties, Nuwa's refining stones to make up for the sky and the Gonggong War were two independent mythological stories, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Chong used "Gonggong's anger to touch the Zhou Mountain" as the background reason in "On Heng and Talking about the Heavens" to improve the plot to explain the reason why the sky collapsed and the disaster occurred in "Nuwa refining stones to make up for the sky", so far, Nuwa and Gonggong have merged into a salvation myth. The story of the battle between the water god Gonggong and the fire god Zhurong in Buzhou Mountain is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Classic of the West Mountain". The "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas North Classic" has a record of "the minister of the Gonggong Xiangliu clan". According to the records of the "Historical Records: Supplement to the Three Emperors", the god of water rebelled and fought with the god of fire. Gonggong was defeated by Zhu Rong, and he was so angry that he hit Zhou Shan, the pillar of the world, with his head, causing the sky to collapse, and the water of the heavenly river was injected into the world [If this paragraph is according to my understanding, it should be that the breath in the chaotic world rushed into the desolate world through the isolation zone set by Pangu, and what Nuwa did was to plug these loopholes that accidentally leaked in]. Nuwa couldn't bear to suffer from the disaster, so she refined the five-colored stone to make up the sky, folded the feet of the turtle to support the four poles, and killed the beast in the flood [the flood beast should be the same existence, not separated, it means that it should be infected by the chaotic breath and produce mutated monsters, this is the world of the desolation, not our world, it was limited by our cognitive level before, the brain hole is not big enough, I can't think of it, why can't we think of it now], all the souls have been able to live in peace. "Huainanzi Tianwen Xun" is recorded as the battle between Gonggong and Zhuan; "Huainanzi Yuandao" is recorded as the battle between Gonggong and Gaoxin; "Carved Jade Collection: Zhuangli" is recorded as the battle between Gonggong and Shennong's [Shennong's Clan?? He's a war maniac, too? Don't tease me]; "Lu Shi Taiwu Ji" is recorded as the battle between Gonggong and Nuwa [Β·Β·Β· I serve, the brains of the ancients are also okay, but who is the co-worker, it is estimated that the desolate world is not even worthy of being a boy for Nuwa]. "Huainanzi Lan Shen Xun": In ancient times, the four poles were wasted, Kyushu was divided, the sky was not covered, and the earth was not circumferential. The fire is not extinguished, and the water is vast and the ocean is endless. Beasts eat the people, and birds grab the old and weak. So Nuwa refined the five-color stone to make up for the sky, broke the ao enough to set up the four poles, killed the black dragon to help Jizhou [the big chin was brutally killed], and accumulated ashes to stop [some kind of water] [don't blame me, the original text is like this, if it is posted and properly blocked, this is an ancient text, do I want to block it]. The sky is replenished, the four poles are positive, [some kind of water] is dry, Jizhou is flat, the cunning insect is dead, and the people's livelihood is lost. Back to the state, hug the round sky. and spring and summer, killing autumn and winter, pillow and sleeping rope, the place of yin and yang is impassable, and the trick is reasonable; Those who go against the spirit and hurt the people will be stopped. At this time, lying down, excited, one thinks of himself as a horse, one thinks of himself as a cow, its line is trampling, its eyes are blind, and they all get its harmony, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to seek, I don't know where to go. At this time, the pit vipers of birds and beasts hide their claws and teeth, hide their poison, and have no intention of grabbing them. Considering its merits, the upper nine days, the lower deed Huangyuan, the reputation is later generations, and the light is heavy on all things. Take the thunder car, serve and drive Yinglong, Qi Qingqiu, aid Juerui, Xi Luotu, Huang Yunluo, the front white mantle, the back running snake, floating and shaking, the Tao ghosts and gods, ascending to the nine heavens, the emperor is in the Lingmen, and Mi Muxiu is under the Taizu. However, it does not show its merits, does not raise its voice, and hides the way of the real people, so as to follow the truth of heaven and earth. How? Morality is universal, and wisdom is eliminated. [One word, one word, it's right to sing the praises of virtue, Nuwa God accepts the worship of the younger brother! ] There is also a man, which we will talk about next time. (To be continued.) )
