Why is Qin Shihuang called Zulong?
The Daqin Empire called this river "Deshui" because Qin Shihuang called himself "the ancestor dragon". Emperor China claimed to be the "real dragon emperor", which should be attributed to the political victory of the first emperor. It is a mystery that Qin Shihuang claimed to be the "ancestor dragon", and his original intention was to put on the hat of "divine right of monarchy" in order to inherit the great unity. Historical records? The Biography of Mencius and Xunqing contains: Zou Yan, a Qi man in the Warring States Period, preached the theory that "the five virtues begin with the end", and his core idea was that "the five virtues should be adjusted, the treatment should be appropriate, and the performer should suffer". Zou Yan proposed that a person who is the son of heaven must have one of the "five virtues". When this virtue declines, another "five virtues" will take its place. The "five virtues" originated from the "five elements" theory of ancient ancestors, that is, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. According to Zou Yan's theory, the Zhou Dynasty was considered to have a "fire virtue". Therefore, according to the reasoning that the five elements complement each other and are mutually causal, it should be "water virtue" to replace the "fire virtue" in the Zhou Dynasty.
After the first emperor unified China, he took the theory of "five virtues ending in the beginning" as a treasure, boasting that the Zhou Dynasty in Qin Dynasty was "water virtue" rather than "fire virtue" and "obeying heaven". There is no doubt that his intention is to find a "theoretical basis" for regime change and make it an ideological tool for the Qin Dynasty to rule the people and consolidate the political power. Five hundred years ago, when I went hunting, I got a "black dragon", which represented femininity and symbolized "water", indicating that "whirlwind" appeared five hundred years ago-Qin was bound to replace Zhou. Qin Shihuang was ecstatic after hearing this, so he took the "black dragon" captured by his ancestors and began to call himself the "ancestor dragon". According to "Five Virtues", "It is more important to call the river" Deshui ",with winter and October as the first year, black in color," six "in degree, loud in voice, and everything is unified" ("Historical Records? The Book of Meditation).
What does Zulong mean?
In the Qin dynasty, the number six, which represents the "black dragon" (the ancestor dragon), can be said to be pervasive and can be seen everywhere. Qin Chaotian is still dark. The colors of the five elements are earth virtue or yellow, fire virtue or red, kinder or white, water virtue or black, wood virtue or green. Summer is the virtue of wood, business is Jinde, and Zhou is the virtue of fire. Qin Shihuang stipulated that Qin De was water, color or black. "The clothes are all black." Qin worships six times. According to the legend of Gulong, the sixth son of the dragon is "good in nature" and the black dragon is "the sixth son of the dragon", so "the degree is named after six" and "the number is based on six", and the symbols and dharma crowns are all six inches, while the car is six feet, steps six feet and takes six horses.
The superstitions of Qin people are all because they don't understand science, and the ancients paid attention to being ordered by heaven, so it is understandable that Qin Shihuang tried his best to climb relatives with God. The supreme power is given by God, no matter whether this God is true or not, as long as the people believe.
