Chapter 11 Ge Tian and Yin Kang
readx;? The Getian tribe is a tribe that can sing and dance. In ancient times, the original dance and singing were gradually germinated and formed in the process www.biquge.info of labor, and the dance movements and singing content were often simple reproductions of the labor process. In order to celebrate the victory of hunting and the harvest of grain, people dance with their hands, which is the most primitive dance, the trumpet that people hum in their labor is the most primitive song, and the combination of singing and dancing is the earliest song and dance.
Ge Tianshi invented music and dance, and is the ancestor of Chinese music, song and dance. The "Music of Ge Tian's Family" recorded in the "Spring and Autumn Period of the Lü Family", "The Bamboo Book Chronicle" and "Historical Records" is the predecessor of Guangle, and is an important source of authentic ritual music culture and music, poetry, dance, repertoire, agriculture and animal husbandry and health preservation in China.
"The Imperial Approval of the Past Dynasties" Volume 1: Ge Tian's Joy "Three people oxtails, and they can sing eight songs: one is to carry the people, two is called Xuanniao, three is called Sui grass and trees, four is said to be Fen Wugu, five is said to respect Tianchang, six is said to be the emperor's gong, seven is said to be Yide, and eight is said to be the extreme of total birds and beasts. It's called Guangle". This kind of "three-person oxtail song eight rhymes", the image of dancing as a bird feather, is the oldest music culture art, and it is also the most primitive song and dance art in the world. This is to respect the ancestors, respect the heaven and the earth at the same time, to express the importance and prayer for farming, animal husbandry and other agricultural activities, reflecting only one aspect of the social life of the Getian clan, is the epitome of the social, economic, cultural and other aspects of the time.
The eight parts of the song and dance of "The Music of Ge Tian" are related to agriculture in the fourth part of the song and dance, "Fen Wugu" and the eighth "Extreme of Total Birds and Beasts", which are related to agriculture, and it can be seen from its name that it not only belonged to the stage of primitive agriculture at that time, but also the Ge Tian clan entered the primitive agriculture in China relatively early, and its agricultural and animal husbandry experience was relatively high, which made an immortal contribution to the establishment of China's primitive agriculture.
The song and dance contained in the music testify that the Getian clan has consciously explored the natural reproduction process of agriculture by not only working hard for their livelihood and arboriculture ("fen five grains"), but also respecting the earth, recognizing the nature of the soil ("Yide"), praying to the heavens, observing the movement of the sun and the moon, and the laws of weather changes ("respecting the heavens").
"The Joy of Ge Tian's" is also the earliest health exercise dance and bionic qi gong in China. The health care and qigong activities of primitive people originated from the most basic production and life practices of human beings in the early days, and matured with the continuous development of productive forces.
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing, Su Theory, and Theory of Transferring Essence and Changing Qi" cloud: "Ancient people lived among birds and beasts, and their actions were to avoid the cold, and they lived in the shade to avoid the heat. The "movement" in the text refers to the movement of the body that labors or imitates labor, and the so-called "yin dwelling" refers to the quiet rest. It is through singing and dancing or resting that primitive people resist the cold and heat and achieve health care effects. The shape of the word "dance" in the oracle bone inscription is the appearance of a person holding an oxtail and dancing.
"The History of the Road: The Chronicles" describes the "Dance of Yin Kang's Family" Shi Yun: "When Yin Kang's time, the water is not sparse, the river does not go to its origin, the yin is condensed, people are depressed inside, the intestines are stagnant and swollen, so those who benefit their joints are made to dance, and teach people to lead the dance to facilitate it." ”
The era of Yin Kang was later than that of Ge Tian, and the sages at that time still imitated Ge Tianshi and guided people to treat various diseases caused by rheumatism in the way of dance, and to dispel diseases and health care. Of course, "The Joy of Ge Tian's Family" not only dances and sings, not only has the content of "Xuanniao" and "The Extreme of Total Birds and Beasts", but also has other contents such as praying for heaven and earth ("respecting heaven and earth", "Yidide"), praising the monarch ("building the emperor's gong") and praying for prosperity ("Sui Grass and Trees", "Fen Wugu") and other contents, which are richer in content and more complete in form than "Tao Tang's Dance" and "Yin Kang's Dance".
The song and dance of "The Music of Ge Tianshi" is a collective health exercise dance of primitive people, and its functions are multifaceted. First, it can help to entertain large-scale celebrations, second, it can entertain itself, third, it can cultivate temperament, fourth, it can protect the liver and nourish qi, fifth, it can cure diseases and fitness, sixth, it can spread culture, seventh, it can praise justice and whip ugliness, and eighth, it can inspire people's fighting spirit.
Ge Tian's reign: BC6110~5830, a total of 280 years.
Yin Kang: The leader of the ancient tribal alliance.
There is a record in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Ancient Music": "At the beginning of the Kang family of the former Yin, the yin was stagnant and accumulated, the waterways were congested, and the original was not carried out, and the people's morale was depressed and stagnant, and the muscles and bones were not reached, so it was promoted as a dance." In the "Tongjian Compendium" compiled by Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty and the "History of the Road" compiled by Luo Mi, there are records about the "Yin Kang clan" ruling in Huayuan and "teaching the people to make dances".
"Yin Kang clan" should be a branch tribe of the Wa clan, there are many beautiful women in the tribe, so that people are often mistaken for fox fairies, and the legend says that the Qingqiu country (the country of fox fairies) is established by the Yin Kang tribe. The leader is a woman.
The ancestors of the legendary "Yin Kang" tribe lived in a humid natural environment and worked hard, so many people suffered from the problem of "unfavorable joints". "Tongjian Compendium" records that "when Yin Kang's time, the water does not flow, Yin condenses and is easy to stuffy people, depressed inside, stagnation and multiple slumps, Yin Kang's so its joints, is to make dance, rule in Huayuan." "Religious dance" can be regarded as the early source of Chinese dance and fitness activities. "Rational stagnation and multiple ......" is roughly like the large bone joint disease in today's mountainous area, and it can be inferred that the Tapo site was one of the main places where the Yinkang tribe was active in those years. In order to deal with this disease, the ancestors of the "Yinkang" tribe invented a health preservation method of "breaking muscles and bones and moving branches". The so-called "big dance" is actually a health preservation method similar to qigong guidance. Its basic function is to promote the body, Tongli joints, to achieve the purpose of dissipating stasis and accumulation, and maintaining health. Although the record of the "Great Dance" in the "History of the Road" is a supplement of later generations, it is generally consistent with the characteristics of primitive culture.
Reign time: BC 5830 ~ 5550 years ago. A total of 280 years.
The descendants of the Yin Kang clan were exiled to Shaanxi Qifu in the Xia and Shang periods, roughly in Tapo, Yaoxian County, Shaanxi Province. It has become one of the ancient countries in Yongzhou - "Huayuan". According to the records of the Xia Shang Guoyi Examination, "Huayuan was one of the many national towns under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou during the Xia and Shang period", and "Huayuan" was located between Qi and Fu, north of Jingshan, west of Peng Ya, Huangguo, and east of Yunyang, which was obviously the main jurisdiction of Yaozhou.
Zhu Xiang, also known as the Feilong clan, Zhu Xiang was an important tribal leader in ancient times, the ancestor of the Shennong tribe, and one of the ancestors of Chinese humanities. Zhuye of ancient Chen is the capital (now Zhecheng County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province).
Yuan Zhengbi's "Yanji" Volume 1 "Zhipu Chapter" Liu Youding Zhuyun: "When Taihao, the negative picture of Longma came out of Xinghe. Emperor Zezhi, painting gossip, with the dragon discipline official, is to order the flying dragon Zhu Xiang to make six books, so there is a dragon book. It shows that the ancestors of the Zhu Xiang clan had already entered the alliance as officials as early as when Fuxi painted gossip, and as Fuxi's courtiers, the official position was Feilong (use...... The dragon came to represent the official rank, presumably the secretary or the official position in charge of the rites), and later founded his own tribe.
Fuxi and Zhu Xiang made significant contributions to the development of Chinese civilization. He was one of the pioneers of agricultural civilization in the Central Plains by inventing the five-stringed serpent, which was the precedent of the civilization of Kaili music, regulating yin and yang, and promoting the growth of all things. He pioneered six books and laid the foundation of Chinese writing.
