readx;? Fu Xi (birth and death unknown), the surname of Feng, also written Mi Xi, Ku Xi, Bao Xi, Fu Xi, also known as the Emperor, Huangxi, Taihao, in the historical records called Fu Xi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info, also known as the Green Emperor, is one of the Five Heavenly Emperors, born in the Heluo area, originally a member of the Youwa clan, and his birthday is the 18th day of the third month of the lunar calendar.

Legend has it that Hua Xu of the Wa tribe went out, and inadvertently saw an extra-large footprint in Lei Ze, and the curious Hua Xu measured the footprints of adults with her footprints, and unconsciously induced conception and gave birth to Fuxi and Nuwa. In fact, Hua Xu is two children born of marriage, and I don't know who the father is. When Fu Xi grew up, he married into another nearby tribe (the male surname was married and lived in the female tribe). And Fuxi's half-sister stayed in the Youwa tribe and later became the patriarch of the Youwa tribe.

Rushui originates from the west foot of Longchi Manshan in Songxian County, Henan Province, flows through Ruyang, Jiaxian, Wuyang, Runan, and enters the Huai River from Xincai to Huaibin at first. "Ru" was originally regarded as a woman, and Gai was named because of the residence of the Wa people. The area of activity of the Youwa tribe is roughly in the vast area centered on present-day Luoyang, from Rushui in the south, to Taihang in the north, from Tongguan in the west, to the west of present-day Shandong. The main edible "snail" (snail) is used as a totem.

The Fuxi clan was separated from the Youwa clan and used the "Tian Yuan" (i.e. Huang Neng), which was similar to and different from the name of its parent totem, as the totem, and later evolved into the "Yellow Bear" as the totem.

The Fuxi clan later used the dragon snake as a totem. "Anthology Lu Lingguang Dianfu" said: "Fuxi has a scaly body, and Nuwa has a snake body." "Imperial Century" also said that Fuxi's "snake body and human face". The Nuwa people originally used the snail as their totem, and the Gaine snake was similar to the snail when it was entrenched. The beetle snake can fly in the air when it travels, and the ancients regarded it as a dragon god. This may be an important reason why the Fuxi clan uses the dragon and snake as a totem.

In the east valley of the floating opera mountain, because there are many snakes, it is called "snake valley", and the floating opera and Fuxi are fake. This is not only the direct reason why the Fuxi clan used the snake as a totem, but also an important evidence that the Fuxi clan once lived here. It can be seen that the Fuxi clan originally lived in Luoyang, the Heluo area around the "Fuxi Mountain".

According to the records of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and the "Chinese" books, the Youwa (蟜) clan lived in the Heluo area centered on the Beibi Mountain in present-day Luoyang, and the Fuxi clan lived in the Heluo area around Luoyang and the "Fuxi Mountain" (present-day Xingyang, Henan). In other words, the initial area of activity of the Nuwa and Fuxi clans should be centered on the Heluo area.

The primitive religion of the Fuxi era has developed to the stage of totem worship, which is the second stage of development of primitive religion.

Totem worship and nature worship have a certain connection. It arose during the period of matrilineal clan society. The first clan member, regardless of their gender, belongs to the mother's clan and not to her or his father's clan, not even knowing who the father is.

People have come to think that the ancestors (fathers) of their clan are derived from a particular animal, plant or other inanimate transformation, and that there is a blood relationship with that thing, which has a protective effect on the clan. So he used it as the family emblem of his clan, the totem, and purposefully worshipped it.

"Zhou Yi Dictionaries" contains: "The river produces a map, Luo publishes a book, and the sage does it." "On the bank of the Yellow River in Mengjin County, Luoyang City, there is Longma Negative Picture Temple, and there is Luo's book office in Xichangshui Town, Luoning County, and it is said that this is the place where Fuxi's family "draws gossip" according to the river map and Luoshu.

Fu Xi looked up at the clouds in the sky, the rain and snow, the thunder and lightning, the wind and fog on the ground, and the birds and beasts, and according to the principle of the change of yin and yang between heaven and earth, he created Bagua, that is, to summarize everything between heaven and earth with eight simple but profound symbols. Fu Xi founded Bagua and opened the source of the culture of the Chinese nation. The holistic and intuitive way of thinking and dialectical thought of "harmony between heaven and man" contained in Fuxi Bagua are the origin of Chinese culture. Legend has it that because of the creation of gossip, Fuxi is worshiped as a god and respected as the ancestor of gossip.

In ancient times, people knew nothing about nature. The weather will change, the sun and the moon will work, people will be born, old, sick and die, all these phenomena, no one knows what is going on. When people encounter unanswerable questions, they all ask Fuxi, and when Fuxi can't answer them, they feel very at a loss, and people live in fear every day. Fu Xi often looked around, speculating about the sun, moon, and sky, the stars shifting, and guessing the changes of the earth's cold and heat, and the flowers blooming and falling. He saw that yarrow was dense in the Central Plains, and began to use yarrow to divinate people.

One day, Fu Xi was fishing in the Cai River and caught a white turtle, so he quickly dug a large pond and raised the white turtle. One day, Fu Xi was putting food in the White Turtle Pond when someone ran to say that there was a monster in the Cai River. When he came to the Cai River, he saw that the monster said that the dragon was not like a dragon, and that the horse was not like a horse, and that it was walking up and down on the water, as if it were walking on the ground. Fu Xi approached the water's edge, and the monster actually came to Fu Xi and stood there honestly and motionless. Fu Xi examined it carefully and saw that there were patterns on the monster's back: one six in the bottom, two seven in the top, three eight in the left, four nine in the right, and fifty in the middle. Fu Xi Xue has a yarrow stalk, and on a large leaf, it is drawn according to the pattern on the back of the dragon horse. As soon as he finished painting, Ryoma let out a loud cry and rose into the air, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Everyone gathered around Fu Xi and asked, "What kind of monster is this?" Fu Xi said, "It looks like a dragon and a horse, so let's call it a dragon horse." ”

Fu Xi took the leaf and pondered the pattern on it, but he couldn't solve the mystery. On this day, he sat on the edge of the white turtle pond and thought, suddenly heard the rumbling of the pool, and looked fixedly, the white turtle swam in front of him from the bottom of the water, looked at him with bright eyes, and then nodded to him three times, shrank his head into his stomach, and lay still at the water's edge. He looked at the white turtle intently. Gradually, he found that the pattern on the white turtle cover was five in the middle, eight around it, twelve in the outer circle, and twenty-four in the outermost circle. Fu Xi drew eight different patterns, known as the Bagua diagram. The above two pictures were collectively called "Hetu Luoshu" by later generations, which means the pictures obtained in the (Yellow) River and Luo (River).

At that time, the descendants of the Suiren clan, the Gonggong tribe (who believed in the god of water) and the Zhurong tribe (who believed in the god of fire), fought for the center of the tribal alliance. The war was very tragic, the Gonggong tribe was almost wiped out, and the victorious Zhurong tribe also suffered heavy losses, although it achieved the status of the co-leader of the Suiren tribal alliance. But the patriarch of the Gonggong tribe fled.

The Zhurong tribe has been hunting down the remnants of the Gonggong tribe. The high priest of the Gonggong tribe offered sacrifices to the god of water, praying for revenge on the Zhurong tribe. Unfortunately, the Great Flood occurred at this time. Therefore, later generations deified this event as: the water god Gonggong and the fire god Zhurong had a big battle, the water god was defeated, and the sky was angry and hit the Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain, from then on the sky tilted to the northwest, the earth fell to the southeast, the sky kept raining, and a large area of land in the southeast was submerged. Later, there was a legend of Nuwa mending the sky.

Why did the sacrifice of the Gonggong clan work, and God answered their prayers?
