"Anthology Wang Yanshou" said: "Fuxi has a scaly body, and Nuwa has a snake body." ”

"Shuo Wen Jie Zi" said: "Wa, the holy daughter of the ancients, is also the one who transforms all things." ”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the West" Guo Pu notes: "Nuwa, the ancient goddess and the emperor, has a human face and a snake body, and changes seventy times in one day. ”

"Imperial Century": "Nuwa's family, the surname of Feng, inherited the Xi system, and started to make sheng springs".

......

In a hall of the Seven Stars of Shunan, the big table in front of Dongfang Chen was full of ancient books. There are countless silk seals and seals.

These are the original documents that have been treasured since the completion of the Seven Stars Temple. From the Yin Shang to the Ming and Qing dynasties, all China has had the habit of recording pictures and texts. It can be called the most comprehensive and coherent archive of ancient Chinese history.

At this moment, Dongfang Chen, Sisheng and others were looking for all the clues about Fuxi Nuwa from the massive literature.

From a large number of documents, it is known that Fuxi, Feng's, also known as Father Xi, is called Taihao. Although it is almost certain that Fu Xi is the divine servant Feng Taihao from the exiles of the Pure Land, he is the most confusing figure. Because his legends are all over the land of China, even Miaojiang, Baiyue and other places have the inheritance of Fuxi, but they have changed their appearance, and they have never started to teach people.

On the contrary, the legend of the female snail is relatively concentrated, mainly from the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River in the northwest. After searching, Dongfang Chen found that the source of the female snail myth was almost compressed in one place: Tianshui, Gansu. Soon after, everyone found a long-lost pre-Qin document: "Emperor Shiben Taiyi", which revealed the mystery of the origin of the female snail.

"Emperor Shiben" is written by the Eastern Zhou royal historian Ju Boyan, which specifically records real historical figures who are qualified to be recognized as "emperors" by the world. The "emperor" in this book does not mean the emperor, but refers specifically to the great sages and sages whose moral cultivation has reached a very high level and benefited the common people. The emperor, the emperor of the world of virtue.

It can be seen from this that Xuanyuan, who taught everyone to build houses with earth, stones, grass and trees, and invented wheels, was for the emperor; the Sui, who taught everyone to drill wood for fire, was for the emperor; Shennong, who tasted the herbs and distinguished the grains, was the emperor; Yao Shun, who was virtuous and Zen, and Yu, who had been controlling the water for 13 years, could be the emperor. This book is the biography of the sages inherited and sorted out by generations of aspiring and responsible historians, and the painstaking efforts to forge the biographies of sages, from ancient times to the Zhou Dynasty, will appear in this book one by one.

The Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty spanned nearly 800 years without falling, and the purpose of the royal historians to compile the "Emperor Shiben" was actually the textbook of the Zhou Tianzi in the past dynasties, so that the emperors could learn from the example of the sages and become a virtuous monarch in the future. It's a pity that good students are a minority after all, and most of them have a headache when they see a book, which is far less comfortable than drinking for fun and hunting with beauty.

In 221 BC, the Great Qin ruled the world and the dynasty was established. At that time, Qin Wangzheng was very dissatisfied with his title of "king", and felt that this was obviously the position of a prince, and he was rich all over the world and had a view of the world, so he had to find another title that matched his status, identity, and achievements. So, the ceremonial officials of the King of Qin racked their brains and set their sights on the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and then took one word from each word, and the lord of the dynasty said the emperor.

Well, Yingzheng called himself the emperor, but most of the people at that time were remnants of the Six Kingdoms, so they didn't buy his account at all, although everyone shouted His Majesty the Emperor, but the "emperor" and "emperor" in their hearts were different. At this time, he saw Qin Shi Huang's ruthlessness and ignorance, in order to erase the hearts of the people, he actually ordered the confiscation of all the books on the description of "emperor" and "emperor" in the world, and then burned them. This was the beginning of book burning, and then the absurd act of book burning intensified. As for the later pit Confucianism, it was purely caused by some people, it was the Fangshi group that first cheated the First Emperor, and then the First Emperor got angry and cheated them, but it was widely implicated.

As a result, the famous "Emperor Shiben" did not escape the catastrophe, and was almost burned to the slag, and it was the Seven Stars that took the risk to rescue after hearing about this and kept a few volumes of transcripts. Among them is this well-preserved "Emperor Shiben Taiyi".

This volume is dedicated to the life of a character named Taiyi Emperor. The reason why Taiyi is respected as the emperor is for two reasons, the most important of which is the same as Yu, this Taiyi Emperor is also a master of water control. From the perspective of modern people, this water of Taiyizhi is not only not famous, but also very small, similar to a stream, but in the ancient times of the pre-Qin Dynasty, this water has a great origin, and its symbolic meaning is far more than the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

This small river is called the Qi River in modern times, and it is called Tianshui in ancient times, which means that this river is formed by the water injection of Tianhe, and the place name Tianshui comes from this. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, there was an earthquake here, and there was a red ground shining before the earthquake, which was as far as 100 miles. When Emperor Wu learned about it, he ordered people to divinate and concluded that it was fearful of offending the gods by calling Tianhe directly, so he renamed the river Hanshui until modern times.

Interestingly, whether it is the Qin Empire or the Han Dynasty, both dynasties belong to water in the Five Elements Numerology. The Qin Dynasty regarded Tianshui as the birthplace of its own clan, starting from Longdi Tianshui, and consolidating it step by step to Hanzhong, taking this as the foundation and then winning the world. The Han Dynasty, whether it was the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, believed that although Gaozu Liu Bang was born in Pei County, he was born in Hanzhong, and also regarded Tianshui as the birthplace of his family, and the renaming of Tianshui to Hanshui is evidence.

In ancient times, Emperor Taiyi governed such a river of the origin of Chinese humanities. The reason why the Han people, who account for 91 percent of China, claim to be called Han is that in addition to the influence of the Han Dynasty, who said that the legend of Han Water is not among them?

has the merit of governing heaven and water, and it is natural for Taiyi to be the emperor. But Dongfang Chen and others also discovered another unusual feature in this book, which is also an additional reason for Taiyi's title to emperor: Taiyi is the son of Nuwa.

"Emperor Shiben" not only contains the stories of many male emperors, but also has two volumes of biographies of female emperors: "Emperor Shiben Nuwa" and "Emperor Shiben Female Concubine".

The concubine, also known as the ancestor, was the one who invented and taught the people at that time the method of raising silkworms and making clothes, so that everyone got rid of the dilemma of being wrapped in leaves and animal skins, and it is understandable that she is the emperor. Then Nuwa also appears in this book, and it is worth studying it in-depth if she is also in the position of emperor.

Legend has it that Nuwa has made great achievements such as pinching yellow clay to create people, cutting turtles enough to set up the four poles, and picking divine stones to make up for the sky, of course, these are all myths and legends. If you use modern thinking to deconstruct Nuwa's various divine acts, she is actually a god of reproduction and reproduction. To put it bluntly, Nuwa's real merit may be that she formalized women's childbirth, or she may have invented a primitive health care system related to childbirth, which greatly reduced maternal mortality. At the same time, Nuwa was also the first pioneer in the record to propose the system of interracial marriage, and took the lead in advocating the principle of eugenics and fertility for ethnic groups.

Because people in ancient times did not have the concept of marriage, and when they needed to reproduce, they were basically the same as animals, and the mating within the same clan and tribe was chaotic, and the chaotic relationship between brother and sister and children abounded, and it was unbearable to look at it directly. To put it bluntly, incest is commonplace, but it is the norm, and everyone doesn't care about it.

It was Nuwa who advocated and taught people to follow the norms of interracial marriage, and to treat marriage relationships seriously and responsibly, and formulated a series of related customs.

Judging from these points alone, the name of the ancestor of Nuwa's humanities is well-deserved, and it should be ranked first among the emperors. It's a pity that the first emperor was on fire, and the two volumes of the empress's biography have been lost, but the preserved "Emperor Shiben Taiyi" has a lot to do with Nuwa.

After reading these materials, Dongfang Chen thought to himself, if Nuwa is the Feng Wei of the year, then her surname is Feng and her name is Wei, why is her real name not seen when it is passed down, leaving only the name of Nuwa?

With the further interpretation of the obscure "Emperor Shiben Taiyi", everyone finally found the answer. In a conversation between Emperor Taiyi and someone at a certain time, someone asked: Mother is the wind, what is Wa?

It means that your mother's surname is Feng, why is she called Wa?

Taiyi replied: My mother changes seventy-seven times a day, and she has her hands and feet and scales, and she turns into a snake.

There are strange beasts in the mountains, mermaids, babies cry people, and the name is the six-legged human-faced salamander, also known as Wa. Therefore, those who see it are called Nuwa.

Seeing this description, Dongfang Chen was suddenly shocked: her son did not shy away from it, and Kan Dashan told his mother's secret.

Nuwa is changeable every day, with her hands and feet and scales, turning into a snake. This is undoubtedly a manifestation of the amphibious transformation of the Aloy divine servant, at that time, the control of Tianshui may have started from the time of Nuwa, for convenience, Feng Wei must often use amphibious transformation. At that time, people did not have much knowledge, and over time they got used to the amphibious form.

However, there are strange beasts in the mountains. From Emperor Taiyi's self-report, it is known that this strange beast is undoubtedly a baby fish, and its scientific name is giant salamander. Oh, so that's the case, the appearance of the Aloy Divine Servant after amphibious transformation is indeed similar to that of a slender baby fish, but the upper body is still human.

And the people of that era still called the baby fish Wa, which may be the result of the misspelling of the same sound, so, over time, the name Feng Wei was forgotten by everyone, and they all called her Wa. According to the convention of the ancient books for the title of women, the name of Nuwa has spread far and wide, and it has been passed down to this day.

Hehe, if the "Emperor Shiben" records historical facts, then all the clues point to the same place: Tianshui!

Looks like it's time to go there and check it out for yourself!
