Chapter 281: "The Legend of the Phoenix" (Medium)
Last time, I talked about urging the carpenter to see a phoenix flying over his head, and ignored everyone, so he asked a few accompanying "seniors", only to know that it has a great background.
It is recorded in "The Analects of Zihan": Zi said: "The phoenix bird does not come, the river does not come out of the map, and I am already a husband!" The meaning of the following words in the Analects of Zihan is that Confucius said: "If the phoenix does not fly, the Yellow River does not come out of the map, and these phenomena that symbolize saints do not appear, it seems that I am going to be finished." ”
"The Seventeenth Year of Zhao Gong" or "The Thirty-second Year of Zhao Gong" records: "I am the site of Wu Zhi, the ancestor of Shang (or Gaozu Shao), and the phoenix bird is suitable, so it is recorded in the bird, and the bird is named for the bird master." It means that when Shao Haozhi ascended the throne, the phoenix happened to come, so according to the system of birds, the system and management system of various management departments of the state were established, and the heads of various departments were set up, and the names of the heads were named according to the names of the birds, so Dongyi worshiped birds.
In some pre-Qin records, it is also called the cormorant as the genus of the phoenix, which is considered to be a kind of phoenix, such as the "Book of Birds" records: "The small one of the phoenix is called the cormorant." Colorful text, three years old to prepare also. It means that the phoenix sub-bird is called cormorant, with colorful feathers, and it has grown plump at the age of three).
"Chinese Zhou Yushang" has a record of birds such as phoenixes chirping on Baoji Qishan in Shaanxi when the Zhou Dynasty arose: "Zhou Zhixingye, the eagle sings in Qishan, tastes and sings in Qi, soars to the south and gathers, is the west of Qi day phoenix Xiang, south Qi day Fengzhou." This is the origin of "Fengming Qishan".
When the Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, the cormorant chirped in Qishan, which was the "Fengming Qishan" of the allusion. Wei Zhao's note: "Sanjunyun: Cormorant, the alias of the phoenix."
"Poetry" cloud: 'The phoenix emperor sings, in the high gang. 'Where is it on the ridge of Qishan?' "Spring and Autumn Inner and Outer Biography" recorded: "Fengzhou is between Yong and Liang, the end of Shang belongs to Qifeng, Zhou and Liang Yu Yong, is the land of Longyou Kingi, the west is Qin, the south is Bao, and Di Qiang lives in the Spring and Autumn Period." Qin and Han Dynasty led to the three counties of Yifu, Gudao and Qiuchi, until the Ming Hongwu four years were changed to Hanzhong Mansion, and the county was reduced to seven years. ”
"The Crane Guanzi Duwan" records: "The phoenix, the bird of quail fire, and the spirit of the sun." It means that the "phoenix" is a "fire attribute spirit bird" that can emit "sun brilliance". In fact, the "fire" of the "phoenix" is the "true fire of nirvana", not the "golden fire of the sun" on the body of the "golden crow of the great sun", which is not less powerful but more spiritual.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the famous writer Sima Xiangru wrote a qin song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix". In the same period, it is recorded in the "Huainanzi Yuanxing Training": "Yu Jia gave birth to a flying dragon, a flying dragon gave birth to a phoenix emperor, a phoenix emperor gave birth to a bird, a bird gave birth to a bird, and a bird with feathers was born in a bird." "It means that the phoenix is the son of the flying dragon.
The "Tripitaka" records: "Yu Jia gave birth to the dragon, and the dragon gave birth to the phoenix." It shows that in the Qin and Han dynasties, many people believed that "Phoenix" was the son of "Ying Long".
"The Analects": "The phoenix has six elephants and nine buds. "The head is like the sky, the eyes are like the sun, the back is like the moon, the wings are like the wind, the feet are like the earth, and the tail is like the weft. Nine buds, mouth life, heart fit, deafness, tongue stretching, color brilliance, crown moment Zhu, distance sharp hook, sound excited, abdominal Wenhu. Xingming said to return to play, stop singing to help, night Ming said good, morning Ming said He Shi, Feiming said Langdu, food only sycamore bamboo. Therefore, the son wants to live in Jiuyi, from Fengxi. Things fly and give birth to children. ”
The Book of Han records that during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, "the Phoenix Emperor Shenjue Collection" had a bird body that was "five or six feet high". And according to "Jingfang Yi Biography": "Fenghuang Gaozhang Er. This shows that the phoenix is extremely large, from five or six feet tall to more than one zhang.
"Hanshu Wang Mang Biography I" records: "Manna comes from the world, Liquan comes out of the ground, the phoenix comes to the ceremony, and the gods descend to gather." "Maybe Wang Mang is far-fetched.
to attract phoenixes? "The Biography of the Immortals" recorded: "Xiao Shi, Qin Mugong, is also a good job, and can cause peacocks and white cranes to be in the court." Qin Mugong has a female character to make jade, and it is good, so he uses his wife as a woman. The Japanese teach to make the jade and make the phoenix chirping. After living for several years, it blows like a phoenix, and the phoenix comes to stop its house. The public is a phoenix, and the couple stops at it, no less than a few years. Once, they all flew away by the phoenix. Therefore, the Qin people made the phoenix shrine in the Yonggong Palace, and there was only the sound of the flute from time to time. ”
According to legend, Qin Mugong's youngest daughter liked a piece of jasper contributed by Xirong. So, Mu Gong named his daughter "Langyu" and ordered the jade worker to carve it into a "jade sheng" and give it to his daughter. This girl is not only born like a flower, but also good at playing the sheng, and her voice is like a phoenix, which makes people intoxicated.
One night, Lang Yu played the sheng on the "Phoenix Tower", as if there was a harmony coming from afar, and the aftersound was wonderful, like a gossamer. After that, Lang Yu was stirred up as if he had found a soulmate. After Qin Mugong found out, he sent the general Meng Mingshi to the east to find someone, and finally found this reclusive young man, Xiao Shi, in the "Huashan" hundreds of miles away, so that his daughter Langyu's illness could be cured. Since then, Lang Yu and Xiao Shi have played the sheng flute in Fenglou every day, and the couple should be harmonious.
Because Xiao Shi's true identity is a "cultivator", he has the ability to "adjust birds and beasts". Therefore, one night, the husband and wife were playing together under the bright moonlight, and suddenly attracted a dragon and a phoenix to fall from the sky, so Xiao Shi took the red dragon, made the jade and the purple phoenix, and both flew away from the clouds. This is the origin of the allusion to "riding the dragon and fast son-in-law".
"Han Poetry Biography" records: "The Yellow Emperor ascended the throne and gave favors. Chengtian together, cultivating virtue, only benevolence is the same, the peace in the universe, and the Phoenix Emperor has not been seen. Thinking only about its image, dreaming of the morning renewal, it is to invite the old man and ask: 'How is the phoenix elephant?' The old man said: "Fu Feng, in front of the Hong, behind the scales, the snake neck and fish tail, the dragon pattern and the turtle body."
Swallow jaws and chicken beaks. Dade, Negative Benevolence, Loyalty, Righteousness, Small Sound Gold, Big Drum. Stretch the neck, strive for wings, colorful preparations, sound the eight winds, and the air should rain at the time. The food is of good quality, and the drink is of good order. The past is the beginning of the text, and the coming is Jiacheng. Only the phoenix can pass through the heavens, respond to the spirit of the earth, the rhythm of the five tones, and read the nine virtues.
There is a way in the world, and one of the phoenix elephants is a phoenix. The second of the phoenix elephant is the phoenix Xiang, and the third of the phoenix elephant is the phoenix gathering. The four phoenixes are the phoenixes in spring and autumn. If you get the fifth phoenix elephant, the phoenix will not live in it. The Yellow Emperor said: "Yu Xi, Yunzai! How dare I? ’
So, the Yellow Emperor wore yellow clothes and a yellow crown, fasted in the palace, and the phoenix came to cover the sun. The Yellow Emperor descended to the east step, the west, and bowed again, and the chief said: 'The emperor descended to the heavens, and he did not dare to disobey his orders. 'Feng Nai Zhi Emperor East Garden, set Emperor Wutong, eat Emperor Zhu, do not go. ”
It means that when the Yellow Emperor ascended the throne, he felt that the world was peaceful and wanted to see the legendary "Phoenix" with his own eyes. For this reason, he consulted "Heavenly Elder". The "Heavenly Elder" replied, "The appearance of the phoenix is an auspicious omen, and it only appears in times of peace and prosperity. It's not easy to see it passing by, but if you can see it flying among the birds, it's a once-in-a-lifetime auspicious sight. ”
The Yellow Emperor was very unhappy when he heard this, so he said: "Since I ascended the throne, the world has been peaceful, why haven't I even seen the shadow of the phoenix?" Tian Lao said: "There is Chiyou in the east, Shaohao in the west, Emperor Yan in the south, and Zhuan in the north. ”
When the Yellow Emperor heard this, he led his troops to fight, so the world was unified. He saw a large bird with multicolored feathers soaring in the sky, and countless exotic birds danced around it. The Yellow Emperor knew that this big bird was the phoenix, and it was also the elephant he wanted to see - "a hundred birds and a phoenix".
"The Book of Rites and Rites" records: "Lin, phoenix, turtle, and dragon are called the four spirits. In other words, by the time of the Han Dynasty, the "phoenix" was classified as one of the "four spirits", alongside the lin, the turtle, and the dragon. Xu Shen's "Saying Wen Interpreting Words" Siyun: "Phoenix, Divine Bird."
Tian Lao (Huang Dichen) said: "The elephant of the phoenix is also, the deer in front of the forest (a work of "the deer in front of the deer (male elk)", or "the wild goose in front of the Lin (or elk)", the head of the snake (or the neck) of the fishtail, the stork and the mandarin thoughts, the back of the dragon turtle, the beak of the swallow-jawed chicken, and the five-color preparation. Out of the country of oriental gentlemen, soaring beyond the four seas, passing through Kunlun, drinking the pillars, the weak water of the feathers, the twilight (Mo) and the wind (Dan) acupoint, seeing the world is peaceful. ’”
That is to say, the image of the phoenix is slightly prepared in Si, which is a kind of "divine object" formed by the collection of a variety of birds and beasts. "Shuowen Koubu" records: "Birdsong. From the mouth. A phoenix emperor chirped. ”
"Shuowen Yinbu" also recorded: "Shao: Yu Shun Leye. The book said: "Ninety percent of "Xiao Shao", the Phoenix Emperor came to the ceremony. "Voice from the voice." "Shuowen Yube" recorded: "Yi: Feisheng also. From the sound of the feather year. "Poem" said: "The phoenix emperor is flying, and the feathers are feathered." ”
"Saying Wen Bird Department" also contains: "Cormorants: Cormorants, phoenixes, and sacred birds." From the sound of the bird's prison. "Spring and Autumn Chinese" said: "Zhou Zhixing also, the eagle sings in Qishan." "There are cormorants in the river, which seem to be big and big, and they are red-eyed."
"Saying Wen Bird Department" contains: "Eagle: Eagle also. Invented in the East, Jiao Ming in the South, Quail Eagle in the West, Youchang in the North, and Phoenix Emperor in the Middle. From the sound of birds. ”
The Analects of the Weft records: "The phoenix has six elephants: one is said to be like the sky, the second is said to be like the sun, the third is said to be like the moon, the fourth is said to be like the wind, the fifth is said to be like the earth, and the sixth is said to be the tail like the weft." "The phoenix has a noble personality, "not only the sycamore, but not the practice, not the food, and the non-liquor spring and not the drink".
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Tuzan" records that the phoenix bears five kinds of image character patterns: "The first text is said to be virtuous, the wing text is said to be shun, the back text is said to be righteous, the belly text is said to be letter, and the text is said to be benevolent." "Spring and Autumn Drama Confucius" recorded: "Phoenix, fire spirit." ”
"Spring and Autumn Yuan Life Bud" said: "Fire is separated from the phoenix." "It is believed that the phoenix is generated by the separation of fire from the five elements into essence. "White Tiger Pass, Volume 3, Five Elements" records: "Its emperor Yan Emperor, the sun also." Its god Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong, is a continuation. Its essence is a bird, and it is separated from a luan, and it is divided into three things. ”
