Chapter 12 Zhu Xiang and Wu Huai
readx;? "Lü's Spring and Autumn Ancient Music" contains: "In the past, Zhu Xiang's rule of the world was also, windy and yang energy accumulated, all things were dissolved, and the fruit was not formed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info"Zhu Xiang's clan is supported by the clans, and the government of "Zhu" often blows strange winds, when the wind rises, the sky is dark, the sand and stones are flying, the sky is dry and the ground is cracked, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the grains are not harvested. Natural disasters endanger humanity, making it impossible for people to survive or even face extinction. Zhu Xiang was so worried that he decided to eliminate harm for the people, subdue the demons, and save the people.
Feilong (Lile official name) Shida believes that the devil is an evil spirit, and he must be afraid of it. The most straightforward is the strings of the harp, so I decided to make a seer to subdue the demon. Shida was busy preparing Zhesi and Liangtong. Zhu Xiang's family ordered skilled craftsmen to carefully make the five-string seer to regulate yin and yang, so that life can multiply, named "to yin".
One day, the yellow sand covered the sun, and the devil came to make a monster again, when the yellow wind stirred the sky, uprooted the grass and broke the tree. Zhu Xiang's portable Se appeared, sat on the high-end, plucked the strings, the sound of Se stirred up the high air, the strange wind gradually subsided, and the sky was covered with clouds in an instant, it rained heavily, and the grass germinated. Since then, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the harvest has been harvested every year, and the warehouses are full. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and thrive.
It shows that during the reign of Zhu Xiang, the drought of the land was very serious, and both gathering and semi-agriculture were devastated. At the same time, it also shows that the concept of yin and yang pioneered by Fu Xi has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Zhu Xiang did many good things for the people of Zhu and ended up with a high life expectancy of 109. Later, the Zhu Xiang tribe was passed down to two more generations, plus the Zhu Xiang clan for a total of three generations, about 150 years in total. That is, the reign time of the Zhu Xiang tribe: BC5550~5400 years. A total of 150 years.
"Music" is used to regulate yin and yang. The sage invented a musical instrument to regulate yin and yang, in which the qin and the seer are the foundation of the instrument, the qin belongs to the yang, and the seer belongs to the yin, and it is not easy for the two to be combined. Therefore, in the ancient times of the Song and Music, only the king had the harp, and the princes had the harp but not the harp. Zhu Xiang invented the five-string seer to reconcile yin and yang, and Yu's five-string qin also reconciled yin and yang, but the emphasis of the two is different. Yang Quan said: "The qin is the sound of the up, and the sound of the bow is the sound of the low, in order to express feelings, regulate yin and yang, and combine the four seasons of cold and summer." ”
"Rites and music" is a major event of the country that was very important in ancient times, and it is the characteristic of Chinese civilization. Zhu Xiang's se, Taihao's qin, Nuwa's sheng reed, and Linglun's bamboo as a musical instrument are of great significance in human history. According to the understanding of the ancients, Zhu Xiang invented the "Five Strings", so that the masses are fixed, the cold and heat are suitable, all things are born, and all the people are safe.
The Zhu Xiang tribe mainly focuses on Huaiyang, Henan, and Huaiyang (ancient Chen Di) is the hometown of Fuxi, so Zhu Xiang's activities in this area have a certain reason. "Monuments and Mausoleums" has, "Zhu Xiangling, 10 miles east of Zhecheng County, there is Zhu Qi, there is a temple to guard." It is said that after the death of Zhu Xiang, everyone in Zhuyi added soil, and the tomb was as big as a hill, and the people's hearts were sent. Although this tomb has been flooded and washed away many times, it is still the same.
Wu Huai, the legendary ancient emperor of the Han nationality. "Guanzi Feng Zen": "In the past, there was no Huai's Feng Taishan. Jin Taoqian's "Biography of Mr. Wuliu": "Write poems to enjoy your ambitions." "The people of Wuhuai, the people of Ge Tian!" "Wuhuai and Ge Tian are equally famous, and they are both more respected dynasties in ancient times. Wu Huai once sealed Mount Tai.
His deeds are unknown. Reign time: BC5400~5000 years, a total of 400 years.
The main sites of China in this period (BC7000~5000) are as follows:
Xinglongwa culture: Inner Mongolia, Liaoning and northern Hebei. Time: BC6200~5400 years. The typical site is the Xinglongwa site of Aohan Banner in Inner Mongolia.
There is an artificial ditch around the site, which belongs to the defense facilities. The dwelling is semi-crypt with a circular stove pit in the house. The house has no doorway, and needs to be entered and exited by ladder through a hole at the top of the house, which is a more primitive type of ancient building.
The inhabitants are mainly engaged in agricultural production. The unearthed carbonized millet (millet) and millet (millet, also known as sorghum, is still the main raw material for winemaking, now mainly produced in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia, and its grain is called sorghum rice), which confirms that the age of millet and millet unearthed in Xinglonggou is 5700 years ago, which is the earliest physical remains of millet and sorghum found in the world. Millet in Europe is supposed to have spread from Southeast Asia through the Eurasian steppe channel.
Stone tools include stone shovels, stone axes, stone adzes, and pie-shaped stone tools, among which the most advanced is the shouldered stone hoe used for excavation. The scraper, which is made of stone chips embedded in the grooves of the bone handle, is also distinctive, and is a product of the northern fine stone craft tradition. There are also many stone knives and fishing and hunting tools used to process animal skins. Stone grinding discs and grinding rods are often found on the living surface of the site, and stone pestles have been unearthed in some rooms. These grain processing tools can be used to process both the hulling and threshing of crops and the processed seeds of harvested plants.
The pottery is thicker and heavier, mainly sand-filled pottery. The firing temperature is low, and the appearance is mostly gray-brown and yellow-brown, and the inner wall is mostly black-gray. The exterior decoration of pottery is mainly embossed, and the main body decoration mainly includes horizontal herringbone pattern, son pattern, mat pattern, grid pattern, etc. All pottery is handmade. There are deep-barreled straight-bellied jars and bowls.
The bone tools have cones, darts, needles, etc., which are relatively well polished, and the earliest clam skirt clothing in China has been unearthed at the same time.
Jade artifacts such as jade jue, jade axe, and jade adzes were unearthed. Xinglongwa jade is the earliest known true jade in China, which marks the formation of a great division of labor in society. Xinglongwa culture is the earliest jade culture in China.
The owner of the tomb was buried side by side with the male and female pigs in the same burrow, so it can be seen that the owner of the tomb was buried indoors because of his status and the special cause of death, and the living took the deceased as an object of worship and sacrifice in order to obtain some supernatural power or pray for protection. The burial of people and pigs in the burrow shows that the ancestor worship activities and the sacrifice of prey at that time have been combined, and the sacrifice of the pig spirit by the ancestors of Xinglongwa has the significance of totem worship.
Houli culture: most of Shandong (except Jiaodong Peninsula). Time: BC6500~5500 years. It is named after the ruins of Li Village after Linzi.
The ruins mainly include house sites, moats, ash pits and tombs. The sites are all semi-crypt type. The trench is the earliest defense found in Chinese mainland to defend against wild beasts or enemies. The tombs are popular rectangular soil pits and vertical pits, and the burial style is mostly single-person upright burial, and most of them have no burial goods. , a few are placed in mussel shells, and some are seen with pottery feet.
The pottery is mainly red-brown pottery, followed by red, gray-brown, black-brown, and blue-gray-brown pottery. The production process is a mud strip plate building, the surface of the vessel is more plain, and the shape of the vessel is mainly a round bottom device, and only a small number of flat bottom devices and lap foot devices are found. It shows that it inherited the northern and southern cultures of the early Neolithic period, thus forming its own pottery type. The main types of utensils are kettles, pots, pots, bowls, basins, bowls, bowls, shaped vessels, cups, plates, lids and feet.
Millet-like plants have been found. It shows that people at that time had domesticated millet and used it as the main source of food. It is supplemented by hunting and fishing. The bones of sheep, cattle, horses, domestic pigs, and domestic dogs were excavated in the Xiaojing Mountain site in Zhangqiu, indicating that domestic animal breeding had appeared at that time.
