Character Analysis of the Immortal Genealogy (4)
Nuwa and Fuxi.
According to legend from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and some later books, Nuwa and Fuxi were both brother and sister and husband and wife.
According to modern people's ideas, this is undoubtedly another major ethical error!
Of course, anyone who is familiar with the ancient history of China knows that the history of human development is quite long.
The bones of the Yuanmou people found in Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province, are 1.7 million years old;
The Lantian people of Shaanxi are about 800,000 years old;
The bones of Peking Man found in Zhoukoudian, Beijing, are also 70 to 200,000 years old.
Even the "cave people" were 18,000 years ago.
In the clan society 10,000 years ago, the first stage was the "matrilineal clan" society, at this time, people's worship of the concept of women and the worship of reproduction was a popular custom in primitive society, and primitive people did not understand that childbirth is the continuation of life.
When they saw new life being born from a woman's womb, they thought it was amazing, and they thought it was a gift from God and God.
At the same time, due to the extremely low social productivity at that time, people believed that with people there was productivity, and there was everything;
The size of the population and the strength of the constitution determine the rise and fall of clans and tribes.
Therefore, in ancient times, matrilineal societies also attached great importance to women's childbirth.
The so-called "matrilineal clan" society, according to the "Spring and Autumn Period of the LΓΌ Family", said: "In the past, there was no monarch in the ancient times, and its people gathered in groups, knowing their mothers but not their fathers, and there was no difference between relatives, brothers, husbands and wives, men and women; β
Therefore, it is considered that the population at that time was not excessive, like livestock.
There is a strange phenomenon in history regarding the evolution of Nuwa culture, since the Han Dynasty, many scholars have consciously or unconsciously misinterpreted Nuwa's identity and gender.
The most ridiculous thing is that Nuwa is actually called in "The Examination of Yu Cong": "There are men and women with names, such as the emperor has Nuwa." β
In the Qing Dynasty, Nuwa was most widely described as a man.
After the Han Dynasty, there were many books that said that Nuwa was Fuxi's sister and wife, which fully reflected the essence of feudal society - the idea of male superiority and female inferiority.
Those literati and writers attached Nuwa to the Fuxi system, making it degrade Nuwa's identity and status.
Some books, records and legends of the feudal era are not entirely true and reliable, and some are just literati attached to the feudal dynasty's ideas of kingship, male power, patriarchy, and husband's power, as well as all the tastes or needs of the rulers;
Especially in the Qing Dynasty, the rulers forcibly banned the worship of Nuwa.
Due to various historical reasons, Nuwa is different from the gods of ancient times, and the belittlement and prohibition of the past dynasties have seriously damaged the identity and status of the goddess Nuwa and her popularity, so that the wide spread of Nuwa culture has been seriously restricted.
For example, in the myth of Nuwa and the legend of Nuwa culture, there is hardly any more merit than the loess to create man and refine stones to make up the sky.
However, they did not publicize the musical instruments and many inventions invented by Nuwa Niangniang, such as sheng, gong, se, xun, etc., in order to suppress her merits, and even ranked Nuwa's ancestors under the three emperors. It is really a sad and pitiful place in feudal society.
There are three strange books in China: "I Ching", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic". In fact, there is another book that can also be called a strange book in China, that is, "Qimen Dunjia".
If people really understand the essence of these "four strange books" in this life, they will really become "immortals".
Among these four strange books, only the deeds or images of Nuwa have been mentioned and described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Even the "information base" of the Book of Changes has never included relevant content about Our Lady of Nuwa, and the main reason for this is that it is afraid that the concept of "feminism" is at work.
When Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty was overthrown, Nuwa became the villain of women who should not be involved in politics and involved in court politics for a while, and the literati of the Tang Dynasty at that time changed Nuwa's status as an independent goddess.
Wu Zetian is the second Nuwa in history, and her imperial status not only subverted the patriarchal society at that time, but also became a great threat to the patriarchal society.
In order to eradicate and eliminate the revival of feminism, it is necessary to raise the awareness or control of men's rights over women's rights in terms of culture and life.
As a result, Nuwa, as the first representative of women's rights, is the first to be regarded as a negative teaching material and a negative image.
Therefore, Nuwa passively became the sister of Fuxi, and forcibly married Nuwa to her so-called "brother" Fuxi, so that she was attached to the Fuxi system, and then lost her independent identity as a goddess, and was relegated to the Three Emperors or under the Three Emperors, which was really the misfortune and innocence of Nuwa's ancestors.
Historically, patriarchists have racked their brains or painstakingly belittled and distorted Nuwa culture.
However, people's status and image as a goddess of Nuwa have always been filled with a special kind of worship and admiration;
Moreover, the myth of Nuwa has a strong vitality. From ancient times to the present, the folk sacrifice activities to Nuwa Niangniang have always been uninterrupted, quietly and silently.
It is not difficult to see from this that people's worship of Nuwa is no less than that of Fuxi, and even the worship of Nuwa in some places far exceeds that of Fuxi.
In Hongdong County, Shanxi, Zhoukou City, Henan, Tianshui City, Gansu Province and other places, there are Nuwa tombs, Nuwa Palace, Nuwa Temples and so on.
As the creator god and the mother of human ancestors, Nuwa's godhead charm cannot be replaced, especially in myths and legends, Nuwa Niangniang is always so beautiful and moving, and her miracles are outstanding;
Her status and identity as a goddess and the Holy Mother of God did not become a vassal of the Fuxi system because of the appearance of Fuxi.
This book is to promote the miracles of these holy goddesses, including Nuwa Niangniang, Nine Heavenly Xuannu Niangniang, Queen Mother Niangniang, etc., and the image of the Holy Mother.
It is true that in people's minds, Nuwa Niangniang's identity and status will always be high, and her creation and cultivation virtues have long surpassed those of the Three Emperors and other saints, and her sacred status and supreme image of the saint will never be erased and shaken.
