Chapter VII Shao Hao's Founding of the Nation
readx;? It would not be amazing if the Yellow Emperor had accomplished so many things in his hundreds of years of dynastic rule. In fact www.biquge.info many things completed by ministers have also been completed by the Yellow Emperor. In this regard, due to the influence of Qin Shi Huang's book burning and Confucianism, the historical materials of the pre-Qin period are incomplete, which is inevitably a pity.
In 2639 BC, both the Guanzhi clan and the Nagagu clan came to worship.
The Yellow Emperor had four concubines and ten concubines. The concubine is the Xiling clan, and the name is the ancestor.
The Fuxi and Youwa clans intermarried for generations, and by extension, the Youxiong clan and the Youwa clan were two ancient tribes that married each other. There is a bee as a totem, because the name of the snail and the bee are connected, so there is a bee is the Youwa (with the snail as the totem). For generations, the Youwa clan lived in the western Henan region, centered on the northern mountains of Luoyang. Legend has it that there is a generation of Emperor Yan who was born from a woman from the Wa clan and in Changyang.
The Yellow Emperor married the daughter of the Xiling clan, a branch of the Wa clan. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of the Sea" contains: "The Yellow Emperor married Lei Zu and gave birth to Changyi. "Historical Records of the Five Emperors" said: "The Yellow Emperor lived in Xuanyuan Hill, and married the daughter of the Xiling clan for his ancestors. The ancestor is the concubine of the Yellow Emperor. "Suo Yin" quoted Huangfu Miyun: "The daughter of the Xiling clan of the Yuan Concubine is said to be the ancestor." "The Yellow Emperor's mother's family and his wife's family are the same tribe——— there are Wa tribes.
The Yellow Emperor's concubine "Ancestor" was revered as the "Silkworm Goddess Saint". In ancient China, there were ceremonies to worship the silkworm god. "The Book of Later Han Dynasty and the Chronicle of Etiquette" contains: "The ancestral shrine is silkworm, and the rite is too fast." "First silkworm" is the silkworm god. Huainan King Liu An's "Silkworm Sutra" said: "The Yellow Emperor's concubine Xiling began silkworms, and the clothes made by the Yellow Emperor began to begin." Liu Shu's "Tongjian Outer Chronicles" contains: "The daughter of the Xiling clan, the concubine of the Yellow Emperor, began to teach the people to raise silkworms, treat silkworms for clothes, and worship silkworms as the first silkworms in later generations. "The History of the Road: Later Chronicles" also said: "The Yellow Emperor's concubine Xiling clan is called the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor, and she used it to treat silkworms at the beginning, so she worshiped the first silkworms." This shows that the Yellow Emperor's concubine Xiling, because of "the beginning of teaching the people to raise silkworms, treating silk cocoons for clothes", so it was worshiped as the "first silkworm" by later generations and respected as the "silkworm god".
Women's Day: Fang Lei, the second concubine of the Yellow Emperor.
Tongyu's family: Mingcanglin, Liyu, Zhiqiong, the daughter of Emperor Yan, the third concubine of the Yellow Emperor, responsible for people's food, housing and transportation. He was revered as the ancestor of cooking by later generations.
Mother-in-law: ugly face, but virtuous character, gentle temperament, the fourth concubine of the Yellow Emperor, once helped the Yellow Emperor defeat Emperor Yan and kill Chiyou. In later generations, people with ugly faces were called "mothers-in-law".
The Yellow Emperor had twenty-five sons, fourteen of whom were given surnames. These fourteen people received a total of twelve surnames, and they were: Ji, You, Qi, Ji, Teng, Ji (Yinzhen), Ren, Xun, Xi, Ji, Yi (Yinxuan), and Yi.
Later, King Wu of Zhou (Ji Fa) established the Zhou Dynasty from the east of Shaanxi to the Central Plains, and divided the vassals or Fang States, of which there were 53 countries with the surname Ji, and these countries with the surname Ji took the country as their clan, thus forming most of the surnames in China, and the Chinese called themselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor" or "descendants of Yan Huang".
After the fusion of Yan and Huang, the Chinese people were formed, which is the earliest ancestor of the Han people.
The ancestor was the concubine of the Yellow Emperor and gave birth to two sons, the eldest son was named Xuanhuan (the fief was in the river of Shandong, which should be near Heze); the second son was named Changyi, and the fief was in Ruoshui (a section after the confluence of the Yalong River and the Jinsha River, which was called Ruoshui in ancient times. ), married to the Shushan clan (wife name Chang servant) on the shore of Ruoshui.
The eldest son, Xuan Huan, gave birth to a son named Zhi, whose real name was Ji Zhi, and later changed his surname, born in Poor Sang (now Qufu City, Shandong Province), and married to the Qingyang clan, because he could inherit the virtues of Taihao Fuxi and establish his own feudal state. Therefore, it is called Emperor Zhi Shaohao's, also known as Qingyang's, Jintian's, Poor Sang's, Yunyang's, referred to as Shaohao, also known as Shaohao, Shaohao, and Shaohao.
At the time of Shaohao's birth, there were five phoenixes in the sky, with different colors, which were generated according to the colors of the five directions: red, yellow, green, white, and Xuan, and flew down in the courtyard of Shaohao's family, so he was also called the phoenix bird.
When Shao Hao grew up, he became the leader of his clan, and Shao Hao began to use the Xuanniao, that is, the swallow, as the totem of the headquarters. Later, when the poor Sang was the leader of the big alliance, a phoenix bird flew in, and he was overjoyed, so he changed to the phoenix bird as the clan god and worshiped the phoenix bird totem.
The Shaohao clan was originally founded in the area of Rizhao in present-day Shandong, and later built the capital Qufu. Soon the capital was moved to Qufu, and the tribes under its jurisdiction were named after birds, including the Wind Bird Clan, the Xuanniao Clan, and the Blue Bird Clan, a total of 24 clans, forming a huge complete clan tribal society with the phoenix bird as the totem.
Shaohao is called Shaohao because of the method of cultivating Taihao. Set up a factory and a farmer to manage handicrafts and agriculture respectively to develop production. At the same time, it is also "positive measurement", that is, to set measurement standards, observe celestial phenomena, formulate calendars, invent musical instruments, compose music, and use birds to live as officials (in fact, different birds are used as the totems of each Shaohao tribe), and Shaohao's totem may be swallows (羸).
Shaohao has several sons, and his descendants are very different in appearance, character, morality, talent and other aspects.
Legend has it that Shaohao's sons are not human:
One of the names is heavy. He has the face of a man, the body of a bird, and, more surprisingly, the heavy face is boxy and often dressed in white. When traveling, he drove two flying dragons. Because of his extraordinary ability, he was valued and favored by the Eastern Emperor Fuxi, and became the mythical wood god, and Fuxi jointly ruled the spring, which is generally called Jumang.
Spring is the season of revival of all things, the flowers are full of flowers, the warblers are singing and dancing, the grass is poking its head out, the trees are gently stretching their waists, the fish are swimming in the water, the ducks are also playing in the river, the whole world is a vibrant, vibrant, thriving scene, full of songs and laughter, everywhere is singing and dancing.
The wood god is holding a compass-like thing and is in charge of the life of all things on the earth at this time. The compass is a symbol of his power, and people call him Jumang, which contains the meaning of bending, which is very similar to the bending and soft appearance of the first generation of plants and trees in spring. Jumang also doubles as the god of life, and if someone does more good deeds and makes outstanding contributions to the development of the country, Jumang will increase his lifespan.
