Nüwa

Nu Wa is the goddess in China's historical myths and legends. With Fuxi brothers and sisters. According to legend, the five-color stone is refined to make up the sky, making people out of soil, making wedding ceremonies, continuing human life and creating everything in the world. Nu Wa is the great mother of the Chinese nation. She created us kindly and bravely took care of us from natural disasters. It is the creator god and ancestor god widely worshipped by people for a long time. She has magical power and can create at least seventy things every day.

"Peaceful Magnolia": Before Nu Wa made people, she made chickens on the first day of the first month, dogs on the second day, sheep on the third day, pigs on the fourth day and horses on the sixth day. On the seventh day, Nu Wa made a small clay figurine out of loess and water, imitating her own appearance. She made batch after batch, and thought it was too slow, so she used crutches. In order to make human beings pass on forever, she created a wedding ceremony, acted as a matchmaker herself, let people know the method of "making people" and carry on the family line by her own strength. Another legend, unique, is that Nu Wa and Fuxi are brother and sister. At the beginning of the universe, there were only two brothers and sisters between heaven and earth. At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, there was no one else in the world. I want to be husband and wife, but I am ashamed. My brother and sister immediately went to Kunlun Mountain and cursed: "If God agrees that my brother and sister are husband and wife, please gather all the clouds in the sky or disperse them. So the clouds in the sky immediately closed, and they became husband and wife, and the Chinese nation was their descendants.

The record of the goddess mending the sky can be found in Huainanzi: In the flood era, the water god Zhu Rong and the fire god had a big fight because of a quarrel. Finally, Zhu Rong defeated the water god * * *, who was ashamed of losing, but was a pillar of indomitable spirit. The mountain collapsed. Mankind is facing an unprecedented disaster.

Nu Wa witnessed such a strange disaster and felt very painful, so she decided to mend the sky to end it. She chose various colored stones, set them on fire and melted them into mud, filled the hole with this mud, and then cut off four feet of a chinemys reevesii as four pillars to support half the collapsed sky. Nu Wa also captured and killed the black dragon, which killed the people, and stopped the arrogance of the dragon and snake. Finally, in order to prevent flooding, Nuwa also collected a large number of reeds, burned them into ashes and buried them in the flood that spread everywhere.

After some efforts and rectification by Nu Wa, the sky was finally filled up, the land was filled up, the water stopped, the dragons, snakes and beasts disappeared, and the people lived a happy life again. But after all, this catastrophic disaster left its mark. Since then, the sky is still tilted to the northwest, so the sun and the moon are shallow and generous, poor and poor are west, and because the land is tilted to the southeast, the rivers converge here. When the rainbow appears in the sky, it is the colorful light of our great Nuwa.

The degree of Nu Wa's efforts is high, in the Western Han Dynasty's "Where is the Sex Campus?" Painting Z, together with her brothers Fuxi and Shennong, was listed as Huang San at the beginning of the Chinese nation. They tasted hundreds of herbs and saved countless lives.

Let's get familiar with the mythical figures in ancient China.

Xitianwangmu

The legendary goddess. Originally a strange god in charge of disasters and punishments, she gradually became feminine and embarrassed in the process of spreading and became an old and kind goddess. According to legend, the Queen Mother lives in Yaochi, Kunlun Mountain, and there are flat peaches in the garden, which can be eaten forever. Also known as the Golden Mother, the Golden Mother of Yaochi and the Queen Mother of the West.

According to the ancient book Shan Hai Jing, "The Queen Mother of the West is like a human being, with a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth. She is good at whistling and is full of Dai Sheng. The Queen Mother of the West looks like a human being, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth. She is good at growling with high-frequency sounds. With messy hair and a square hat. It is a god sent by heaven to spread viruses and various disasters. It can be seen that he is ugly and is a demon god who sends disasters and epidemics! He lives on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and there are three giant raptors named Jade Bird, which bring him food and daily necessities every day.

However, in Mu's legend, the words and deeds of the Queen Mother of the West are like a gentle ruler. When Zhou Muwang traveled around the world in an eight-horse, he traveled to Kunlun Mountain in the west. He took out Bai Gui Xu Anbi and other jade articles to visit the Queen Mother of the West. The next day, Mu Wang hosted a banquet in Yaochi for the Queen Mother of the West. Both of them sang some poems and exchanged blessings.

The Legend of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called her a goddess with peerless appearance and gave her a flat peach that bears fruit once every three thousand years. Taoism takes the third day of March every year as the queen mother's birthday, and holds a grand event on this day, commonly known as the Flat Peach Festival.

Some scholars and experts in China believe that the mythical Queen Mother of the West does exist in history. Li Xiaowei, a scholar studying Kunlun culture, was quoted by Xinhua News Agency as saying, "In fact, it is not the fairy who is valued by countless myths, but the female chief of a nomadic tribe west of Qinghai Lake. 」

Many years' research and on-the-spot investigation by some scholars and experts found that there was once a country of animal husbandry-the Queen Mother of the West more than 3,000 to 5,000 years ago. Its territory includes the vast area sandwiched between Kunlun Mountain and Qilian Mountain in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau today, and the grassland around Qinghai Lake and Qaidam Basin are its richest central areas. According to textual research, the "national capital" of the ancient kingdom of Xiwangmu is located in Tianjun County, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, west of Qinghai Lake.

Professor Zhang from the Department of Geography of Qinghai Normal University pointed out in his signed article: "It is worth noting that the Queen Mother of the West is not only the title of an ancient tribal country, but also the title of an ancient queen, which has been passed down from generation to generation. The existing ancient books prove that from the Jin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties and even the Republic of China, there were a large number of queen tribes in Qinghai grassland area and the north and south of Kunlun Mountain, among which Supi tribe was the most famous.

Old stars are too old.

Lao Xing is too old, a fierce god in folklore. One is Jupiter, the other is the god of the four seasons, and the other is the god of twelve o'clock. Since the Western Han Dynasty, people think that all the good and bad luck in architecture, migration and marriage are related to the location. Dig a piece of meat when you break the ground, which is the embodiment of the evil god and will lead to disaster. In the old customs, every time a building breaks ground, it must be clear about its location before it can be avoided. After the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, there were special altar sacrifices. Later generations are also called cruel people. This is the origin of the sentence "Dare to touch the ground on the lion's den". It means brave.

Everyone says the condemned man is too old to die-that's him! !

The most distinguished Lao Wang, Lao Zi, was awarded by Taoism/Taoism]

Yue Yong was an ancient county native of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. He used to be a Tibetan caretaker in the Zhou Dynasty. The theory of main inaction is considered by later generations as the ancestor of Taoism. Confucius tasted the ceremony and wrote more than 5,000 words of Tao Te Ching. In today's society, all walks of life, such as blacksmith, coal kiln worker, tableware worker, knife sharpener, hoof blacksmith and so on. , all worship Lao tze as ancestors. Also known as Bai Yang, Taishang Laojun, Lao Dan, Laojun, Laozi, Laozi Daojun, Li Boyang and Laojun Li.

Among the voluminous books on Chinese civilization, Tao Te Ching has been translated and read the most abroad. The central idea in Tao Te Ching is Tao, which means that Tao can be Tao, not Tao. The name can be named, but it is very famous. " Although the meaning of Tao is difficult to understand, we can say that Tao is nature.

Taoism believes that individuals should not oppose Tao, but should obey and act according to Tao. It is absurd and immoral to fight for power and profit. Tao is invincible, and people should follow it. Taoism believes that water is weak and willingly flows to a lower place. Even the weakest force does not mean resistance, but water is indestructible. On the contrary, the hardest stone will be broken by water one day. For individuals, simplicity is naturally commendable. Violence should be avoided and people should abstain from sex. People should not change the world, but should respect it. For the government, doing nothing is the most sensible policy. Things usually get worse by adopting a more complicated legal system or enforcing the legal system. High taxes and wars violate the philosophical spirit of Taoism. The image of Tao Te Ching is huge. This book is very short, with less than 6000 words in Chinese, but it is extremely rich in ideological connotation. In China, although Confucianism is the mainstream of China's philosophy, it has absorbed a lot of Taoist thoughts, and Confucianism still respects Taoist thoughts.

Taishang Laojun is one of the highest gods in Taoism and one of the three super gods. His sanctification began in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhang Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty (later Zhang Tianshi) founded Shi Tiandao. In order to compete with Buddhism, he respected Lao Zi as the founder and Lao Zi as the grand old gentleman. Later known as the "supreme moral god." After that, Taoist classics deified Laozi extremely, saying that Laozi was born without a beginning and rose without it, which was the first of all things and the first of vitality.
