Chapter 4 Yandi Shennong's Clan
readx;? The subjects were worried that it would be too dangerous for him to taste the grass like this, and they advised him to go down the mountain and go back. He shook his head again www.biquge.info said, "We can't go back! The people of Li are hungry and have no food, and if they are sick and have no medical treatment, how can we go back!"
After tasting a mountain of flowers and plants, he went to another mountain to taste them, and climbed them up by using wooden poles to build a frame. I have been tasting it for 7749 days, and I have walked all over the mountains and mountains here. He tasted wheat, rice, millet, and sorghum to satisfy hunger, so he asked his subjects to bring back the seeds and let the people of Li plant them, which became the five grains later. He tasted 365 kinds of herbs, dictated the "Shennong Materia Medica", and asked his subjects to bring it back to cure the people of the world.
After Shennong tasted the herbs, he found the five grains that filled the hunger and the herbs for the people of Limin, and came to Huisheng Village, ready to go down the mountain to go back. When he looked around, the wooden frames that had been built all over the mountains were gone. It turned out that those wooden poles that had been erected took root on the ground, spit out buds in the rain, and grew into a vast forest sea over the years. Shennong was in a dilemma, and suddenly a group of white cranes flew in the sky, taking him and several subjects who were protecting him to the heavenly court. Since then, Huisheng Village has been full of fragrance all year round.
In order to commemorate Shennong's achievements in tasting herbs and benefiting the world, the common people named this vast forest sea "Shennongjia". The Huisheng Village of Shennong's ascension to heaven was renamed "Liuxiang Village".
"Shennong's Materia Medica" records: The doctor is not the third generation, and he does not take his medicine. Kong Chongyuan quoted the old saying: The third generation, one is the Yellow Emperor acupuncture, the second is Shennong's Materia Medica, and the third is the Su Nu Pulse. Kangcheng Zhou Li Note, also said: five medicines, grass, wood, insects, stones, grains. The Qi of its governance is the art of Shennong Ziyi, which is the so-called cautious Qi of the ritual note, which refers to the books of Materia Medica. Chong Yuan not only quoted the old theory, but also suspected that it was not Zheng Yi's excess. Hanshu cites the Materia Medica and the Art and Literature Chronicles, Jia Gongyan cites the Chinese scriptures, and there is a volume of Ziyi's Materia Medica, which does not say that it comes from Shennong. To the Sui scriptures, the first three volumes of Shennong's Materia Medica, which are in line with the upper, middle and lower grades of the three products, should be the old book since the Han Dynasty.
Shennong Cave Stele: On the Lie Mountain, which is 55 kilometers away from Suizhou City, there are stone tables, stone benches, stone bowls and stone couches in the cave, etc., which are said to be the utensils used by Shennong's family. There are also ancient buildings such as Shennongjing, Shennong's house, Shennongguan, and Yandi Temple in Lieshan. There is a monument of "Yandi Shennong's" in the north of Lishan Town, which has been preserved to this day.
Shennong, who tasted a hundred herbs, did not really call the king, Shennong was busy making contributions to the people all his life, tasting herbs, establishing a traditional Chinese medicine system, it is not easy for ordinary people to complete an invention in their lives, how can they still be able to make achievements in politics. Shennong finally bid farewell to the world because of the toxic attack.
But the tribesmen and the tribesmen who defected to him loved him very much, saying that he did not die, but was summoned by the Emperor of Heaven. Because of Shennong's contributions, the clansmen called him Shennong, but this actually became the name of the surrounding tribes for the Shennong tribe.
The tribesmen systematically summarized Shennong's inventions and creations, and the productive forces have been greatly developed, especially the medical skills are more worthy of praise. The tribes in the Yangtze River basin gradually embraced the Shennong tribe and became a tribal alliance centered on the Shennong clan.
And the last Wuhuai tribe was gradually surpassed by the prestige of the Shennong clan because they had no special merits. Finally, the leader of the Shennong tribe ~ the Kui clan who inherited the status of Shennong (he was not the descendant of Shennong, the clan system at that time, did not engage in a set of sons inheriting his father's business, and the children of Shennong's clan were still young, so the new patriarch set by the old grandmother) entered the Central Plains, occupied the ancient Chen land of the Fuxi clan, and built the capital on the bank of Yishui, and later the Shennong tribe moved the capital to Yuluo, which is still generally around the ancient Chen land. It officially replaced the rule of the Fuxi tribal alliance, and from then on, the leader of the tribal alliance was no longer honored as Fuxi, but was honored as Emperor Yan. This is the first time that a force from the Yangtze River basin has entered the Central Plains after the Chao clan. The reason why it is called Emperor Yan is also a metaphor for the hot land in the south.
The first alliance leader, the Kui clan, handed over the position of patriarch to the descendants of Shennong, who had grown up, in accordance with the tribal consensus. Thus began the more than 2,000 years of rule of the descendants of the Shennong clan in China. The tribal alliance centered on the Shennong clan revered the Yandi Shennong clan as a common ancestor and buried his grave in Suizhou, Hubei. Since each leader called himself Emperor Yan Shennong Jiang XX, this period is called the era of Emperor Yan.
Yandi Shennong was revered as a god, according to idolatry, because Shennong tamed the buffalo, so the cow was respected as a totem, and the idol of Shennong became the head of the cow. This is the same reason that the descendants of the Fuxi clan idolized the Fuxi clan into a dragon-headed human body. All are the result of primitive religious animal worship.
Legend has it that from Shennong, the Jiang tribe has a total of nine generations of Yan Emperor, Shennong Emperor Kui, Kuisheng Emperor Cheng, Chengsheng Emperor Ming, Ming Sheng Emperor Zhi, Zhisheng Emperor Yu, Emperor Mourning, Mourning Emperor Ke, Kesheng Emperor Yu, and passed on the throne for 530 years.
The above statement is not completely true, we know that the approximate age of the Yellow Emperor is the last year of Emperor Yan, and it is a year, and the time when Emperor Yan Shennong's invention of Leiyun cannot be later than the Hemudu period of the year when Leiyun has been discovered. So it's easy to see that Emperor Yan ruled for more than 2,000 years.
So in fact, the tribe originally called the Zhu Xiang tribe and later renamed the Shennong clan did not continue the rule of its own tribe.
Reality: The time for the beginning of Emperor Yan's reign is years. After the death of the Kui clan, the tribal public agreement passed the position of patriarch to the descendants of Shennong. Not counting the Shennong clan who did not claim the king, there were 8 dynasties, the first of which was ruled by the Shennong tribe, and the other seven dynasties were ruled by other tribes in the tribal alliance, but the leaders were all tribes married by Shennong's children, so the leaders were surnamed Jiang. This is the same as the succession to the throne in the Fuxi period, and there were also Nuwa clans in the Fuxi era who played the same role as the Kuikui clan.
There were about 2,000 years of rule, and there were 8 periods of tribal rule, with an average of about 300 years for each dynasty. Roughly the reign time of the Shennong tribe: years ago. About 300 years of rule.
The regime of Emperor Yan Shennong was passed down to eight dynasties, and the country was passed on about 00~2694).
The first emperor, the Shennong clan, was founded by the Kui clan, and then transferred to the Jiang clan. Its tribe (Zhu Xiang-Shennong) reigned for years.
During the second period of tribal rule, Linkui, a child of the Jiang family who married outside, was the leader of the tribal alliance. Its tribe (tribe name unknown) reigned for years.
