Heaven ordered the swallow to descend and come to the world to give birth to the king of Shang. The dwelling is vast. In ancient times, God ordered the soup to conquer the four seas and govern the four directions. Tell all the princes of the world that all Kyushu belongs to the Shang State. In the past, the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty accepted the mandate of heaven without disaster, and the grandson of Wu Ding was blessed. Sun Tzu Wu Ding is virtuous and virtuous, and he can take on the cause of soup. Ten dragon flags were raised in the cart, and they were full of millet for sacrifice. The territory of the country is thousands of miles, and the people live in a good place. At the beginning, the four seas were possessed, and the princes of the four seas came to the court to do business, and the people who came to the court were many and busy. Jingshan is surrounded by the Yellow River, and it is most appropriate for Yin to receive the mandate of heaven, and it is boundless to bear many blessings.

There is still a lot of controversy about the origin of the Shang people. Some people believe that the Shang people originated in the Hebei region, or that they originated from the Donghu people, and that they were the Yan Bo Shanrong in the northeast, but later some people suggested that the Shang people originated in the north, that is, the Shang culture in the Youyan region. However, for thousands of years, people have been convinced of the legend recorded in the "Historical Records of Yin Benji" that "the Xuanniao of Heaven descended and gave birth to Shang", that is, the Shang people said that they were born from the eggs of the Xuanniao.

According to historical records, Qi's mother, Jian Di, was the second concubine of Emperor Yu, and Qi was born to Jian Di, so Emperor Yu was naturally Qi's father and the ancestor of the Shang family. According to books such as "Shiben" and "Historical Records", the emperor had four concubines, and the eldest concubine had Tai's daughter called Jiang Yan. Hou Ji, who gave birth to a son, is said to be the ancestor of Zhou. The second concubine Jian Di, the daughter of the Youlu family, is the biological mother of Shang's ancestor Qi.

Emperor Yu is the ancestor of the Shang family, which seems to have some kind of kinship with Jian Di, the second concubine of Emperor Yu, who swallowed eggs. "Bamboo Book Chronicle: Yin Shang Cheng Tang": "At the beginning, in the life of Emperor Gao Xin, the concubine said Jian Di, on the day of the spring equinox Xuanniao solstice, from the emperor's suburbs, and his sister bathed on the Xuanqiu. There is a black bird that falls on the egg, and the five colors are very good. The two competed and were covered with two baskets. Jian Di swallowed it first and became pregnant. Chest cut and born deed. Chang is Yao Situ, successful in the people, and is a businessman. ”

The name of the ancestor of the Shang family, "Historical Records of Yin Benji" said: "The deed was born on the occasion of Tang Yu Dayu...... The deed chief Zuo Yu has meritorious service in controlling the water, and Di Shun still lives the deed as Situ. "Qi was sealed in Shang because of his meritorious work in helping Dayu control the water, and his clan was Shang. After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang clan was directly subordinate to the Xia. As the Shang clan became stronger, they gradually developed the desire to win the championship, although they were superficially subservient to Xia, but secretly developed their power around Xia. In this way, Shangqiu, like a young bud, drilled out of the ground.

According to Mr. Sun Miao, from the ancestor of the Shang family to Shang Tang, the first Shang has gone through a total of 14 generations. According to historical records, at the beginning of the 24th century BC, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, Zhuan, built his capital in Shangqiu. According to the record of "Jinshui Geographical Chronicle": "Zhuan Xuan migrated from the poor Sang (now Qufu North of Shandong) to Shangqiu. ”

The great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, Gao Xin, is known as Emperor Yu today, and built his capital in the southeast of Shangqiu City, ——— Bo (in the territory of Gushu Town, which belongs to Yucheng County today). "Shangshu Justice" contains: "Emperor Qi's father lives in Bo. "When it came to Shang Tang, it was still the capital of Bo. "Kuodi Chronicles" cloud: "The ancient city of Nanbo, thirty-five miles southwest of Gushu County, Songzhou, that is, the settlement of the sub-surname clan (Shang clan) in the south. At the time of the deed, the Shang clan was entering the stage of patrilineal clan society, and there was still some time before class differentiation and the establishment of the Shang dynasty. Thus, during the reign of the Xia Dynasty, the fledgling Shang clan was merely a vassal of the Xia Dynasty in the East.

In this fourteenth century, although the Shang people frequently migrated eight times on the vast plains of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, they all returned to Shangqiu very quickly, so it can be said that from the Qi to the 14th Shangtang Dynasty, they were based on Shangqiu and gradually prospered.

Jian Di is good at the governance of personnel, knows astronomy, is willing to give, and teaches the principle of the contract, in order. The nature of the contract is smart and benevolent, can educate its teachings, and its name is caused, and Yao makes it Situ and seals it. And Yao Bang, Shun ascended the throne, and it was the edict that said: 'Deed, the people are not close, the five grades are not inferior, you are respectful as a Situ, and the five religions are wide, and the future generations will live in Bo. 'To Tang Xing as the Son of Heaven, the gentleman is called Jian Diren and polite. "Poem" said: "There are generals who are good at establishing sons and businessmen, which is also said." "Jane Di was a great woman who went down in history for giving birth to a merchant male with the surname Ancestral Deed.

The deed is the earliest male direct ancestor of the Shang clan in the transition from the matrilineal clan to the patrilineal clan. From the beginning of the deed, the Shang people had the practice of inheriting the relationship between father and son, and only then did they truly enter the patrilineal clan society.

Getting back to the point, Zhang Xuanchu watched the two little swallows fly in front of him, changing into two people, a man and a woman. Zhang Xuanchu asked, "Is this the place to go to the sect master?"

The phoenix blood said: "Zhang Xianren, we are here to pick you two, now to this place, we all know you, the sect leader knows that you have arrived here, so ask the two of us to come here and invite you two, if there is any neglect, please Zhang Xianren do not blame." ”

Zhang Xuanchu said: "We just arrived here, how can you already know my name." ”

Another said: "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, you have stirred up their realms in the Turtle Blood Continent, the Blue Dragon Continent, and the White Tiger Continent, and our sect leader has long known about you, especially the four soul beasts on your body, and now you have obtained the blood of three beasts, and finally the Vermilion Bird blood here is missing, so our sect leader has long known that you are coming, and specially ordered us to come here to greet you." ”

Yulan said: "Since that's the case, then let's stop gossiping, let's go in quickly, and see what the sect leader has to say!" Zhang Xuanchu had no choice but to nod, and the two of them quickly flew into the big house suspended in the air.

Enter the large suspended room, which is a small swirl of levitation, and inside is a spatial world.

I saw the leader on a tree, it was a golden reddish firebird, a real Suzaku bird.

First, we must know that China's phoenix will not be reborn from the ashes! It is a metaphor for a person who gets up again after being hit, and modern people will say that the phoenix is reborn from the ashes. But in our native Chinese myths and legends, the phoenix will not be reborn from the ashes. The firebird you are talking about here should refer to the immortal bird, that is, the Vermilion Bird, which will be reborn from the fire, and the foreign bird that is reborn from the fire is not the phoenix, but the Vermilion Bird.

This statement originates from Guo Moruo's words in "Phoenix Nirvana": "The phoenix is ashes every 500 years*, and then reborn from the ashes, and the cycle is endless, achieving eternal life."

But the phoenix that Guo Moruo is talking about here is not a native Chinese phoenix, it is an immortal bird in Western legends, in the south it is a red bird, in the east it is a golden crow, in the north it is a black fire stork, the sacred bird is not a species, the phoenix does not need to be reborn in the fire and has immortality, it takes less than 500 years * once to maintain life, the following is an introduction to the rebirth of Phoenix.

Whenever the immortal bird knows that it is approaching death (every 500 or 1461 years), it builds its nest with fragrant branches and then burns it in flames. When it is about to burn out, a newborn immortal bird will fly out of the flames. It will smear the corpse of a dead immortal bird with the sap of the myrrh tree and fly with it to the city of the sun, which is the immortal bird of the West.

The difference between Phoenix and Suzaku has been answered before, so let's talk about it in detail here.

The Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix are different, and the Vermilion Bird is more noble than the Phoenix! The seven southern houses represented by the Vermilion Bird are: Well, Gui, Liu, Star, Zhang, Wing, and Zhen. And "Shi Tian" clouds: "Willow, quail fire." The quail fire represents the willow, the star, and Zhang Sansu, and it is said in "The Crane Crown": "The phoenix, the bird of the quail fire." It can be seen that the phoenix is the most precious sacred bird in the ground, and the Vermilion Bird is the divine bird in the sky.

The three-legged crow, also known as the three-legged golden crow, is a sacred bird in ancient Chinese mythology, also known as the golden crow, yang crow, or three-legged. It is said that when the ancient people saw sunspots, they thought it was a black bird that could fly - crows, and because it was different from the crows in nature, it was added with a foot to distinguish it, and because it was related to the sun, it was golden, so it was a three-legged golden crow. The three-legged black is the name of the mythical bird that drives a Japanese chariot. It is the evolution of the three-legged black in Japan and China. The three-legged black is also known as the "poodoo". It dwells in the middle of the day and has three legs.

"Xuanzhong Ji": "In the east of Penglai, on the mountain of Daiyu, there is a tree of Fusang, and the tree is ten thousand feet high. There is a pheasant on the top of the tree, which is the nest on it. Every night solstice, the rooster crows, and the sun bird responds to it in the middle of the day, and the sun bird sings the rooster in the world. "Legend has it that this bird is the essence of the sun and lives in the middle of the day. In the Han Dynasty, there were often three-legged blacks on the portrait bricks, which lived next to the West Queen Mother's seat, and were the birds that fed for them, or the blue birds.

[3] "The Records of the Cave and the Dead", Volume 4: "(Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty) said: 'What I like is not old, can I get it?' Shuo said: 'There is grass in the northeast, and there is spring grass in the southwest. The emperor said, "How do you know?" Shuo said: "The three-legged black eats this grass on the ground, and Xi and wants to control it, and covers the bird's eyes with his hands, and does not listen to it." Herbivorous can not be old, and other birds and beasts eat this grass and are bored and unable to move. ’”

[8] "Spring and Autumn Yuan Life Bud": "There are three-legged black in the day. Therefore the sun is also called the three-legged black or golden black. The Queen Mother of the West has a three-legged black, which is a green black for the Queen Mother of the West.

[9] "Historical Records: The Biography of Sima Xiangru": "[The Queen Mother of the West] hoopoe and acupuncture points are also fortunate to have a three-legged black for it. ”

[10] Zhang Shoujie righteously quoted Zhang Yi and said: "Three-legged black, blue bird, the Lord feeds for the Queen Mother of the West." Later, it was also borrowed from the future.

[11] Tang Dynasty Du Fu's poem "Yuelu Mountain Daolin Second Temple Tour": "The lotus flowers are symphonic and the birds are destined for life, and the gold list is double-back and three-legged." Qiu Zhaoao quoted Huang Sheng as saying: "Three-legged black, on the same day." ”

[12] Song Luyou's "Moonlit Night Short Song": "Although the star is high, he does not need to be happy, and the three-legged yang is born at the bottom of the sea. ”
