At this point, Frank and Bob came to my box one after the other. Frank said: "Panzi said that this digging for soil is related to Bashu. “

Pan Zidao: "Well, when we go to Sichuan, we are going to find Bashu, and the third master is already waiting for us there." “

"Is that the place where the Sanxingdui culture was unearthed?" : The fat man asked suddenly.

Panzi nodded.

The fat man said confidently: "It is said that the development of Sanxingdui Bashu culture bronzes is very good. ”

"That's right," Bob said, "for a long time, the source of Chinese civilization was considered the Yellow River civilization, and the Yellow River was called China's "mother river, and certainly not my mother river." “

Bob continued: "However, the bronze, jade and other cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui, Guanghan, Sichuan Province in the Yangtze River basin are rare in the world in terms of their quantity and value, so they are called "the ninth wonder of the world" by experts." “

These precious artifacts are all from the Shu Kingdom at the same time as the Shang Dynasty in the Yellow River Valley more than 3,000 years ago, which makes people re-understand the position of the Yangtze River in Chinese civilization.

The fat man said: "If that's the case, can it be said that the Yangtze River is the father river of China." ”

Bob said, "You can say the same thing. “

Bob began to speak: the ancient book "Shu King This Season" contains: silkworm bush, cypress shrub, fish squirt, these three generations are hundreds of years old. Scholars analyze, "Shu" for the meaning of wild silkworms silkworms from other wild silkworms, the tribe people domesticated wild silkworms for silkworms, so the name silkworm from the clan. After the silkworm Cong, it is called Bai Guan, indicating that the tribe is a tribe with Bai Guan bird as the family name. The bird is also a water bird, indicating that it was a tribe that excelled at fishing. After that, there were Du Yu and Kaiming who were called Wang Shu. These ancient historical legends have been confirmed by Sanxingdui archaeological excavation data to varying degrees. In fact, it shows that not all myths and legends are imagined by people, some of them are really people and things, some are exaggerated things, and some are the deeds of people who integrate a variety of people and things in one person. Just like writing a novel, the subject matter comes from reality, but the content is higher than reality. Everything comes from life, but it is higher than life.

Bob saw that everyone was listening carefully, and excitedly continued. Legend has it that the silkworm cong of the first king of Shu is the longitudinal eye (that is, the vertical eye), and the bronze longitudinal beast face unearthed in Sanxingdui has prominent eyes, and its meaning is the same as the meaning of the "Shu" character in the Central Plains oracle bone inscription highlighting the "eye". Some scholars have analyzed that the second image of the binocular column is in the shape of a column, and the straight eyes stretch out to the front, which is the shape of the so-called "straight eyes and positive multiplication". This is the same as the mythical Shu main silkworm after the cypress shrub with the cypress shrub bird as the number, the fish with the fish bird as the number, and Du Yu with the pu bird as the number. In the Sanxingdui ruins, a kind of bird without a crown and a hook beak is found to be a special cultural symbol similar to the legendary Baiguan era. The bird's head handle spoon unearthed in Sanxingdui is a wine scooping vessel used for religious ceremonial occasions in the Yuyu Dynasty.

Archaeologists have recovered the general historical development of the ancient Shu Kingdom. The age of the Sanxingdui site is about 4800-3000 years ago, and the cultural accumulation can be divided into 4 periods, each of which is hundreds of years. At present, most of them tend to name the first phase of Sanxingdui culture 4000 years ago as "Baodun Culture", the second and third phases of Sanxingdui site culture from 4000 to 3200 years ago as "Sanxingdui Culture", and the fourth phase of Sanxingdui site after 3200 as "Twelve Bridges Culture" (extended to spring and autumn). Combined with the "late Bashu culture" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as well as the cultural integration stage of the Qin and Han dynasties, it basically constituted an archaeological system 5000-2000 years ago. Legend records that several generations of Shu kings such as silkworm cong, Yu Yu, Du Yu, and Kaiming are actually several dynasties. Samsung culture mainly has two sayings: Yu Yu and Du Yu.

And Ba is the country of Ba, and the Ba people believe that their ancestor is the Emperor of Di. It is said that the Ba people have five surnames and live in Wuluo Zhongli Mountain (also known as Nanliu Mountain, in present-day Changyang County, Hubei). There are two holes on the mountain, red and black, Ba Shi lives in the red hole, and the other four surnames live in the black hole. They decided to elect a leader to unify the five surnames and make it easier for them to survive. How to choose? Race the sword first, who can hit the acupoint, who is the leader. As a result, the Palestinians were in favor, and the rest were not; The boat was made of clay, and the four people sat on it and sank, but the boat of the prime minister floated on the water. Everyone decided to make the son of the Liba people the prime minister the leader, and he was called "Di Jun".

In the early days, the Ba people mainly hunted and fished, dealt with fierce beasts, lived in stone caves, and took tigers as totems. Their leader, Di Jun, is not only strong in martial arts, but also not confused by his voice. When he led the tribe through Yanyang, the local "goddess" tried in every possible way to leave him behind and rule the area together as a husband and wife, but he was unmoved, shot the goddess who loved him, and led the tribe onwards. After that, their descendants spread throughout Chongqing, eastern Sichuan, western Hubei and northeastern Guizhou, and established the state of Ba centered on Jiangzhou (now Chongqing) in the Spring and Autumn Period. He and the later Ba Manzi who "cut off his head to protect the soil" are both national heroes of the Ba people, reflecting the character traits of the Ba people who are fierce and righteous.

The ancestors of the Shu people in mythology are "silkworm cong" and "fish fish". Shu and "bracelet" pass, that is, wild silkworms. Silkworm Cong "eye longitudinal", living in the stone cave under the Min Mountain, silkworm Cong, Bai Yan, Yu Yu three generations are hundreds of years old, "deified immortal". His main merit is to "teach the people to sericulture". From the "Book of the King of Shu" to today's folk oral tales in western Sichuan, there are many stories in this regard. The fish is the fish eagle, this is a kind of fishing water bird, this is the myth of the ancestors of the Shu people, the totem of the tribe, there are a lot of stories and relics about the fish in Wenjiang County.

The Shu people have the most stories about Du Yu, the most beautiful, and the most widely spread. The history books say: "The Seven Kingdoms are called kings, and Du Yu is called emperors", and he is called Emperor Wang. The time was about 666 BC in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that Du Yu "fell from the sky" and his wife came out of the well. His greatest achievement was to "teach the people to farm", so that he turned into a cuckoo bird after "going to the immortals", and cried more than again every time spring came, urging the people to plough and plant in spring, so that he cried blood. The ancestors of the Shu people, from the silkworm bush of "teaching the people to raise silkworms" to the fish of "teaching the people to fish", to Du Yu of "teaching the people to farm", the enlightenment of water control is related to agricultural production. Agriculture is relatively developed, women's status is higher, and there are a lot of things for men and women, so "the king of Shu is lustful".

Legend has it that Du Yu, the most admired ancestor of the Shu people, when his subordinate turtle spirit led the people and horses to control the water, he had an affair with the turtle spirit's wife, and the turtle spirit returned. Another theory is that the turtle spirit drove him away by force, so there are sentences such as "who does the soul of Shu still complain about for a thousand years" and "it seems to sue the spring breeze for the death of the country".

"Sichuan Tongzhi" has the saying that "after Emperor Wangdi fled, he couldn't restore himself, and he died and turned into a juan". Li Shangyin's poem "Wangdi Spring Heart Trust Cuckoo" may hint at this. The story of Emperor Wang's transformation into a juan, except for the "Shu King Benji", is only a brief record, but in the folklore, there are many beautiful and moving stories. Make him the king of ideals. Some say that he is wholeheartedly for the people, but also loves talents, in order to control the water, please come out of the turtle order, and give the throne to the turtle order, but after the turtle order took power, day by day proud, do not know how to sympathize with the people, the people please come out of the emperor, to persuade the turtle order. Not only did he not listen to the turtle order, but he also thought that Emperor Wangdi wanted to fight for power, so he led his men and horses to beat him. He had no choice but to go back to Xishan, turn into a bird, fly into the palace, and shout all day long, "The people are noble!" The people are noble!" It was called bloody, and its beaks were dyed red (cuckoos have red beaks). Turtle Ling was moved and corrected his mistakes.

At this time, a person stood at the door at some point and said, "There is another saying." Looks like he wants to give a speech too.

In ancient times, the old dragon king in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River had a son and a daughter, the son was an evil dragon, often made waves, causing monstrous floods, the younger sister dragon girl was very sad when she saw it, so she took advantage of the night to Lingyun Mountain to open a gap of 100 zhang wide to let the water flow away, my brother found out, put her in the cave and sent a tiger to guard.

At the foot of this mountain, there is a young hunter Du Yu, got the dragon head crutch given by the gods, determined to eliminate harm for the people, after hard fighting, subdued the evil dragon, the tiger, rescued the dragon girl, married a couple, together to split the mountain and divert water, eliminate floods, Du Yu taught men to farm, dragon sister taught women to raise silkworms, and the people of Shu lived a peaceful life.

I saw a person with the appearance of a professor standing in the doorway, this person was more than 1.7 meters tall, wearing a pair of glasses, giving people the impression that a professor in a university class was coming to give a lecture.

Pan Zi said: "This is Mr. Su who slept with a few other guys. "Oh, it looks like you know more than I do": Bob said.

Mr. Su said with a calm and modest face: "Where, where, I'm just interested in history." “

The fat man said excitedly, "Come, you can talk about it too." “

Mr. Su said, "Then I'll talk about it too." “

I saw that this was going to be a speech conference, and although these two were older than me, I couldn't help but listen to their speeches.

Mr. Su continued to speak: Du Yu was in the water control, got the help of the turtle Ling, and let the turtle Ling be the prime minister, but the turtle Ling was an ambitious person, he designed to frame Du Yu, drive him away, take the throne, and want to occupy the dragon sister. Long Mei only hoped for Du Yu's return and did not accept the turtle spirit. Du Yu was worried about the dragon sister, turned into a bird, flew to the windowsill of the dragon girl and shouted: "Return to Xinyang, return to Xinyang, the turtle spirit is really black-hearted." "Because Du Yu is confident in the south of the mountain, according to the ancients, it is Xinyang. Long Mei knew that Du Yu had been killed, and she was grief-stricken, and soon died, turning into a cuckoo. Husband and wife sing together every day: "Spring is busy, spring is busy, sow seeds and harvest grain quickly." ”

After replacing Du Yu, the turtle spirit who created an "enlightened" dynasty is said to have been resurrected from a dead body that drifted up from the Chu State to the foot of the Wenshan Mountain. was appointed by Du Yu as the prime minister, and won the throne for his meritorious work in controlling the water. The next enlightened dynasty brought about a catastrophe because of the lust of the turtle spirit.

Legend has it that there is a "mountain spirit" in the Wudu area, who has become a woman, and her beauty is incomparable, and the women of Shu are not as good as her. The king of Shu took her to Chengdu, accepted as a concubine, she did not practice water and soil, sick, wanted to go home, the king of Shu tried every means to make her happy and she died, the king of Shu built a Wudan Mountain in the city to bury her (it was to transport the soil of her hometown to Chengdu), and a large stone mirror was installed on the tomb to commemorate. This matter reached the Qin State, and King Qin Hui knew that the King of Shu was lustful and gave him five beauties.

The king of Shu sent five Ding Lux to open the Shu road to welcome the five daughters, and when they walked to Zitong, they met a big snake that was burrowing into the hole. One wrestler clung to the snake's tail, and the others helped, and with a bang, the landslide collapsed, crushing all five wrestlers and five beauties under the mountain. The mountain is divided into five ridges, there is a platform on the top of the mountain, the king of Shu takes the stage to mourn, and names the five women's mounds; The descendants of the platform are called Si Wife Tai.

The common people miss the five wrestlers and call it the Five Ding Mound. The king of Qin later sent troops to destroy the Shu kingdom along the road opened by Wuding.

The legend of the cuckoo is mainly in Shu, and the legend of the goddess is the most widely spread in Ba, the earliest recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the Song King "Gao Tang Fu", "The Goddess Fu", Li Bai "Eight Songs of Emotion" all wrote about her. The masterpiece of the legend of the goddess in the former Shu Du Guangting's "Yongcheng Collection of Immortals": the goddess Yaoji is the youngest daughter of the Queen Mother of the West, and she led twelve sisters to the world to play and help Dayu control the flood. Gave Dayu three volumes of the Book of Heaven and asked him to act according to the book. She also led her sisters to fight against the twelve evil dragons who caused the flood, and the evil dragons were beheaded and fell into the ground, becoming twelve peaks, and she also stayed in Wushan and turned into the Goddess Peak.

According to the Ba people, the goddess is the perfect goddess, mixed with stories such as love. King Song's "Gao Tang Fu" says that her tryst with the king of Chu is a blasphemy. During this period, there were more exchanges between Bashu and the outside world, and there were naturally more fights. In the legend, two images worthy of being called "national heroes" have been created. One is Ba Manzi of Ba State, and the other is Wuding Lux of Shu State.

The legend of Ba Manzi, "Huayang National Chronicles" has a record, so far the eastern Sichuan area is still widely spread, Chongqing Qixinggang Lotus Pond "General Tomb", Zhongxian "Tuzhu Temple" are to commemorate him. It is said that when Ba was invaded by Shu, the general Manzi asked Chu to send troops to help, and promised to cede the three cities (including Zhongxian) to Chu after pacification. The matter is peaceful, the envoys of the state of Chu came to ask for the city, and the man said, the city can't be given, take my head. "Cutting the head and protecting the soil" is the origin of the "soil master temple". Every year on the fourth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, it is said that it is the day when the manzi cut off his head, and the people of Zhongxian County will carry the statues of the manzi couple and parade and hold a temple fair to commemorate this national hero.

The story of Wuding is popular in various parts of western Sichuan, and there are different theories, most of which are related to the opening of Shu Road. As soon as he said that "the king of Shu has good wealth", the king of Qin sent him five cows that could dig gold, and he sent five Ding Lux to pick them up and settle them in the Jinniuba of Chengdu; As soon as he said "the king of Shu is lustful", the king of Qin sent him a beautiful woman, and he sent Wuding to pick him up, which opened up the Shu road, and Qin took advantage of the situation to destroy the Shu country from the Shu road.

Mr. Su said, "Well, that's all for today, and I'll talk about it tomorrow morning." “

The fat man said: "Old man, you are old, talk about it again, anyway, stay and stay." Mr. Su coughed softly twice and continued his speech.

The fat man came to me and sat down and whispered to me: "Look at my mouth, I originally wanted to mean Mr. Su, don't say it, but I didn't expect him to climb up instead of going down the steps." I looked at them with a straight face, in fact, my heart was already happy, I patted the fat man, the fat man saw that I was like this, and I was depressed, I saw that the fat man's whole face was embarrassed to a certain extent, and I wanted to laugh even more.

The name of the region and the name of the local government in the pre-Qin period. Mainly in present-day Sichuan. The east is Ba, and the west is Shu. According to the "Huayang National Chronicles", the ethnic groups in the pre-Qin and Bashu regions are called Pu, Jia, Tho, Gong, Nu, Badger, Yi, Shu, Yunnan, Wing, Yu and other ethnic groups, most of which are Baipu branches.

A large number of unearthed cultural relics show that the Bashu culture is another ethnic culture different from the Central Plains. In particular, its exquisite bronzes, shape and ornamentation have local characteristics, but they are also influenced by the Central Plains culture. On weapons and ancient seals belonging to the Warring States period, two characters that are different from Chinese characters and have not been deciphered have been found so far.

Archaeological discoveries also show that Shu had entered a class society as early as the Yin and Zhou dynasties. Legend has it that the earliest king of Shu was the silkworm Cong clan, and the "Records of the First Shu" has a record that "the silkworm cong began to live in the stone chamber of Minshan". Minshan is in present-day Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province. "Huayang National Chronicles" also said: Silkworm Cong "its eyes are longitudinal, and they die as sarcophagus coffins, and the people of the country follow them, so it is customary to take the sarcophagus coffins as the longitudinal mounds."

The famous king after the silkworm cong has Du Yu, the emperor of Wang. The capital was built in the fertile soil of Piyi (20 km northwest of present-day Chengdu, Sichuan) and Qushang (10 km south of present-day Chengdu, Sichuan). He "taught the people to farm,...... Ba also turned his religion into agriculture and agriculture, so far (Jin period) Bashu people agricultural first worship Du Zhujun".

Later, there are Jing people and turtle spirits trace the river water to Pi, for the emperor to look at the phase, when the Shu land is flooded, the turtle spirit decides the Yulei Mountain to remove the water damage, from the river water Tuo to reduce the water potential, for the pioneer of water control in Shu. After the Emperor Wang's Zen position turtle spirit, it was for the enlightened emperor. The Enlightened Dynasty began in about 666 BC with the capital of Chengdu. Since then, Shu has become stronger, has attacked Qin to its capital city Yong (now Fengxiang South, Shaanxi), and take South Zheng, east Chu to Zifang (now Songzi, Hubei), "according to the land of Bashu", Xiongchang Bashu.

Houba and Shu competed, and King Qin Hui sent Sima Cuo in 316 BC, and Zhang Yi led his troops to destroy Shu. In the legend of Ba, the story of the five clans of the Wushu clan in the Yishui (now Qingjiang, Hubei) basin raising the Ba clan as the prince of the Ba clan is the most famous (see Man). The king rode an earthen boat unsinkable, and shot the salt god, and after his death, his soul turned into a white tiger. Therefore, his clan has the custom of worshipping the tiger with people. Bayo was destroyed by Chu during the Warring States period, and Chu established Wu County in Badi

Legend has it that at the end of Yin, both Ba and Shu participated in the war of King Wu of Zhou. Ba people have the famous "Bayu Dance", "Singing and Dancing to Ling Yin People". After King Wu conquered Yin, he was named Zongji Yuba, and he was a son, probably founding a country in the upper reaches of the Han River.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Ba had contacts with neighboring countries such as Lu, Deng, Shen, and Chu, and had a marriage relationship with Chu. But later it was also merged by Chu and became Chu Hanzhong County. In the Fuling area in the east of present-day Chongqing, there was also a citrus at that time, which was destroyed in Chu in the late Warring States period. After Qin destroyed the Shu state, he also destroyed the Ba state, which established the capital Jiangzhou (present-day Chongqing). Later, he seized a large area of Ba land from Chu and established Ba County. Qin's annihilation of Bashu prepared the conditions for further annihilation of Chu and the unification of the Six Kingdoms.

At this time, a woman's voice came, what are you talking about, you have a good chat. I looked back and saw that it was Alice, and Alice said, let's talk about something else, and I had a small talk with them. I didn't expect this group of upside-down fighters to be hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and later, they chatted about homely things, talking about things in the east and talking about them in the west, without a theme at all, and I fell asleep when I looked bored.
