Myths and legends about the Yellow Emperor:
One day, the Yellow Emperor was watching the scenery with the ministers on the Luoshui River, and suddenly saw a big bird holding Bian Tu and putting it in front of him, and the Yellow Emperor hurriedly bowed down. Look at the bird, the shape is like a crane, the head of a chicken, the beak of a swallow, the neck of a turtle, the shape of a dragon, the wings, the tail of a fish, all five colors. The words in the picture are the six words of prudence, benevolence and righteousness, and benevolence. The Yellow Emperor had never seen this bird, so he went to ask the elders. The elder told him that the male of this bird is called a phoenix, and the female is called a phoenix. The morning is called Dengchen, the day is Shangxiang, the evening is Guichang, and the night is Baochang. As soon as the phoenix comes out, it shows that the world is peaceful. It is a sign of great auspiciousness.
Later, the Yellow Emperor dreamed that two dragons came out of the Yellow River with a white picture and offered it to him. The Yellow Emperor was puzzled and came to ask Tian Lao again. Tian Lao replied that this was a precursor to the coming out of the Hetu Luo book. So the Yellow Emperor and the elders swam between the rivers and Luo, sank in the river, killed three animals and fasted. It started with three days of fog. After that, it rained heavily for seven days and seven nights. Then there was a yellow dragon holding a picture from the river, and the Yellow Emperor knelt down to take it. I saw the five-color Bi Gu on the picture, the white picture and the blue leaf Zhu Wen, which is the river Tuluo book. Legend has it that when Fuxi was born, there was a river Tuluo book, and Fuxi created gossip because of this. This is an auspicious sign.
So the Yellow Emperor thus had a deep interest in the search for immortals, began to tour the world, since ancient times, the Yellow Emperor sacrificed the most ghosts and gods and mountains.
He heard that there was an immortal named Guangchengzi in Kongtong Mountain, so he went to ask him for advice. Guang Chengzi said: "Since you ruled the world, the clouds do not gather and the rain falls, and the grass and trees do not wither. The sun and the moon are shining, and there is more and more scarcity. And if the heart of a man is enlightened, where is it for you to talk to you about the way?"
After the Yellow Emperor returned, he no longer bothered with political affairs. I built a hut with a mat in it, and I spent 3 months reflecting there. Then he went to Guang Chengzi and asked. At that time, Guangchengzi was lying with his head facing south, and the Yellow Emperor walked up to him on his knees and asked him how to achieve immortality.
Guang Chengzi suddenly got up and said, "This is a very good question!" and then told him the essence of the Dao: "The essence of the Dao, stealing the darkness, the extreme of the Dao, faint and silent." Ignore and listen, hold your mind and be quiet. The shape will be self-righteous, it must be quiet and clear, and there will be no labor makeup shape, no shake makeup, and only then can it live forever. The eyes see nothing, the ears hear nothing, and the heart knows nothing, so that the gods and forms are one, and then they can live forever. After speaking, Guangchengzi gave him a volume of "The Book of Nature".
After the Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi, he climbed Wangwu Mountain and got the Danjing. And asked the Xuannu and the plain girl about the method of cultivating and maintaining health. After getting the inheritance of the Book of Heaven, and then, returning to Jinyun Hall to practice, he picked the first mountain copper and cast the tripod at the foot of Jingshan Mountain in HNLB City.
Legend: When the tripod was cast, a dragon suddenly flew down from the sky, the dragon had mighty eyes and long, shining silver dragon whiskers, the whole dragon body was full of golden light, and when it came, it seemed to bring ten thousand golden forges, covering the entire sky.
The Yellow Emperor and the ministers were very surprised, the dragon slowly approached the Yellow Emperor, his eyes became very gentle, and suddenly said to the Yellow Emperor: "The Emperor of Heaven is very happy to see that you have made another step forward in Chinese civilization, so he specially sent me to take you to heaven to meet the Emperor of Heaven." “
When the Yellow Emperor heard this, he nodded, stepped on the dragon's back, and said to the ministers: "The Emperor of Heaven is going to summon me, take care of yourself, and see you again." ”
"Please let us follow you!" After the ministers finished speaking, they rushed up, wanting to ascend to immortality with him, hoping to climb on the back of the dragon and go with the Yellow Emperor, and hurriedly grabbed the dragon's whiskers.
But the dragon writhed, and the dragon's whiskers broke, and the ministers fell to the ground. It is said that the dragon's whiskers were transformed by those dragon's whiskers.
The golden dragon wore the Yellow Emperor and flew into the sky quickly, and disappeared into the clouds and mist in an instant. The ministers had no choice but to watch the Yellow Emperor ascend to heaven.
A minister looked at the sky and said thoughtfully: "Not everyone can go up! Only a person as great as the Yellow Emperor is qualified!"
In order to commemorate this emperor, later people called the place where the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven "Dinghu". After the dragon went to Dinghu, the emperor died with "the dragon went to Dinghu". People buried the boots of the Yellow Emperor on the Casting Dingyuan, formed the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, and built a temple to worship. At the west end of the mausoleum, there is a mound of 6 meters high and 42.5 main with a circumference, which is said to be the tomb of the Yellow Emperor. There is a dragon whisker ditch in the southwest of the mausoleum, the legend is the place where the dragon whisker falls, a kind of dragon whisker grass grows here, it is said that the dragon whisker is changed, there is no around. Ancient literati and writers have come to pay respects, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi and other famous poets have come here to pay homage, inscription poems, people go to worship around the ninth day of the second lunar month every year.
The Yellow Emperor City, that is, the ancient city of Zhuolu, also known as Xuanyuan City, is located 50 meters north of Sanbao Village, Jinshan Town, ZL County. According to the "Historical Records", after the Yellow Emperor killed Chi You and subdued Emperor Yan, he built the capital on the flat land under Zhuolu Mountain. It is rumored that the Yellow Emperor City is the capital built by the Yellow Emperor. In fact, it should be regarded as Emperor Yan avoiding Jiuli in Zhuolu at the earliest. And the Yellow Emperor expanded it.
The Yellow Emperor City is an irregular square rammed earth city, the east and west are wide meters, the north and south are long meters, the remaining city wall is 5-10 meters high, the bottom thickness is about 10 meters, and the top thickness is about 3 meters. A large number of pottery and stone tools have been found in the site, all of which are typical of Yangshao culture and Longshan culture, which is consistent with the era of the Yellow Emperor. The ancient relics such as the Yellow Emperor Spring, the three villages of Chiyou, the tomb of Chiyou, the Seven Banners of the Upper and Lower Banners have been well preserved so far, and the memorial hall of the three ancestors of China donated by overseas Chinese is simple and dignified, showing people the great achievements of the three ancestors of humanity, the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor and the Chiyou, and embodies the strong cohesion of the Chinese people at home and abroad for the Chinese civilization. The Chinese Three Ancestors Hall adopts the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, and there are large statues of the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor and the Chiyou in the hall. And there are stone axes, pottery spinning wheels, stone arrowheads and other early human production and daily necessities and war weapons unearthed in the field of Zhuolu.
In 2598 BC, an earthquake struck and the Yellow Emperor died.
Although ancient people always tried to explain how powerful their ancestors were when compiling history, mathematics is the key to solving the mystery of history, and because the ancients lacked mathematical literacy, fabricating history is full of mistakes in the face of mathematics. The only "Bamboo Book Chronicle" in ancient history that has not been recorded by Qin Huo details the historical chronology from the Yao period to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It provides a basis for the mathematical derivation of the corresponding history. The record of its chronology with the Ganzhi period of the first year of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is now confirmed to be the year 840 BC.
It is a pity that such an important work was destroyed by the corrupt Confucianism poisoned by Cheng Zhu Lixue of the Song Dynasty, and later generations re-compiled the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" by virtue of the text of the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" cited in other historical books. Ancient and modern do not mean which version is more reliable.
