Only the sky No man or woman, that guy! My brothers and sisters don't like Japan very much, so I never know anything about Japan, except that they killed our compatriots, tampered with textbooks and visited the Yasukuni Shrine!
Lord, I am too impulsive to say sorry to you!
LZ, I support you. Please tell me the name of your novel, and we will definitely support you.
Japanese mythology.
Japan did not have the concept of myth originally, but it was introduced by studying European mythology. Japanese mythology is mainly based on Historical Records and Japanese Ministers. Because "Historical Records" talks more about Brandon, and Japanese ministers are historical times, so we only know "Historical Records".
* Five other gods who created the world *
The ancient Japanese believed that the world of God was above. They call the world they live in "Weiyuan China" and the heaven where God lives "high in heaven".
At the beginning of heaven and earth, the god who appeared in Gao Tianyuan was called "the God of Heaven".
Its name means to dominate the center of heaven, and it also means that the sacred center of the world is in heaven.
Secondly, the emerging gods are "God who nests and gives birth to grandchildren" and then "God who nests and gives birth to grandchildren", both of which have various reproductive abilities.
At this time, the earth is not yet mature, such as floating fat, but also drifting like a jellyfish. At this time, the reed-bud-shaped god who appeared at the water's edge was called "Meiweiya Yan Zhi God", which means a male god who looks as beautiful as a reed-bud, representing the life center of Earthsea.
Thus, "God stands in the sky forever" appeared, which means that God in the sky appeared on the ground.
At the same time, the land flowing at sea is supported by reedlike buds appearing at the water's edge, forming solidified land.
The above five gods are collectively called other gods, which means special gods in the sky and represent the creation of the world.
* Seven generations of God *
When heaven and earth were created, the god who appeared at this time was called the eternal god of the country, which means the god of the earth when the earth appeared.
Secondly, there are abundant wild gods, representing the gods that appeared when heaven and earth, earth and ocean were still unclear.
Secondly, the god that appears is called the land god, but at the same time, it is the mother's nest land god; Is a god representing the earth.
Secondly, there appeared the god of lust and the goddess of wild women. These two gods indicate that the roots of plants begin to sprout.
Secondly, there appeared the Hall of Ursa Major representing men and the Hall of Ursa Major representing women.
Secondly, there is a beautiful face representing the god of royal face and feet; Then there is the fear of God. Pairing with this God is quite scary.
The last couple is Ye Yi's God Nagi and his sister, God Ye Yina. The God from the kingdom to Ye Yi is called the Seven Generations God.
The appearance of these gods represents:
First, the soil and water became sticky and muddy, forming the embryonic form of the world.
Second: At this time, the bud of a plant grows, the white stem supports the earth and becomes the central pillar of the world, and life begins to multiply.
Third, the birth of men and women is a humanoid god and the beginning of mankind.
Fourth: men propose to women; When men boast that women are beautiful, women also tell men that you are handsome.
Fifth: because men and women love each other, they get married.
* The story of Ye Yi Nagi and Ye Yi Nami *
Ye Yi Nagi and Ye Yi Nami Ershen accepted the orders of the gods and fixed the floating land at sea.
Standing on the overpass, the two men stirred in the sea with swamp spears given by the gods. Although the sea makes a noise, when the spear is lifted, the salt water dripping from the spear tip condenses into a stream, which is the so-called energy island.
Two gods descended from the sky and came to the island, where they erected a Tianzhu (a pillar representing the center of the sky) and built an octogenarian hall (a big house).
Ye Yi Nagi asked Ye Yi Nami: How is your body formed?
Iyenamei said: My body is cast layer by layer, but there are still unfinished parts.
Ye Yi Nagi said: My body is also cast layer by layer, but it is higher in one place, so I can put the higher part of my body in a sunken place and combine it in a perfect state to produce our country!
Alan Poe: OK!
Ye Yi Nagi added: Then I'll meet you at Tianzhu's residence! Get married there.
After reaching an agreement, Ye Yi Nagi added: You come around from the right and I'll meet you from the left.
When they met in Tianzhu, Yiye Nami said, You are a handsome man.
Ye Yi Nagi went on to say: You are a beautiful woman.
At the end of their conversation, Ye Yi Nagi said to his wife, It's not good for a woman to say this first. (voice change: run away! )
Their married child is leech (a child without hands and feet). They put him on a boat made of reeds and let him drift on the sea.
Soon, they gave birth to Awashima again, but they did not raise him as their own child.
At this time, the two gods discussed: the children we gave birth to are not very good, so we should consult the gods in heaven.
Yitaizhan, the god of heaven, went on to say: Because women speak first, your children will be bad ... (The voice has completely changed), so you'd better go back to the original place and have another wedding!
The child born after their remarriage this time is narrow island, which is now Awaji Island (now Hyogo Prefecture).
Secondly, I gave birth to two islands, which are now the Four Kingdoms. This child has a body, but it has four heads, namely: Yiyu country (Ehime Prefecture), Zanqi country (Kagawa Prefecture), Chestnut country (later called Abo country, which is today's Tokushima Prefecture) and Tuzuo country (later Tosa Prefecture, which is Kochi Prefecture).
Second, Sanzi Island, where Yin Ji was born, and now Yinqi Island (Shimane Prefecture) were born.
Secondly, Zhuzi Island was born, which is today's Jiuchuan. This island has only one body, but it has four faces, each with a different name, namely Zhuzi (later Zhu Qianguo and Takehouguo, now Fukuoka Prefecture), Toyoko (later Toyoko and Toyoko, now Fukuoka Prefecture and Oita Prefecture) and Feiguo (later Toyoko and Toyoko, now Saga, Nagasaki and Kumamoto Prefecture).
Secondly, it gave birth to a machine island, which is today's machine island (Nagasaki Prefecture).
Followed by the horse, and now the horse (Nagasaki Prefecture) was born.
Secondly, Sato Island was born, which is now Sato (Niigata Prefecture).
Secondly, it gave birth to Daifeng Qiujin Island, which is today's Honshu.
In this way, eight islands were born.
Then she gave birth to stones, mud, sand, rivers, seas, water, fog, boats, food and other gods closely related to life. Finally, Ye Yi Nami gave birth to Vulcan, but she was burned to death. Ye Yi Nagi was angry and killed Vulcan.
Ye Yi Nagi loved his wife deeply, and in order to take her back, he came to the Yellow Kingdom, only to see the ugly side of her being burned by fire, and fled the Yellow Kingdom in a mess (it was worse than a pig and a dog). In order to clean up the filth of the yellow land, Nagi, Ye Yi held a dharma meeting in Abozi. At that time, the discarded sticks, belts, clothes, crowns and right-handed ornaments became all kinds of gods, and when he washed his left eye, he had a heavenly palace. Susan was disobedient, so her father God (Ye Yi Nagi) exiled him.
* Heaven shines on the life of the great imperial God and SUSANOO *
Because Su Sannuo disobeyed his father's orders and was exiled to Doha in the shallow sea, Su Sannuo ordered him to go to Gao Tianyuan to plead with the heavenly king. When he ascended to heaven, the heavens and the earth shook. As a sister, Tianwang thought that his younger brother was going to grab her position, so he stood firm and his younger brother and sister had a swearing-in contest. But after winning, Susanu managed to destroy farming and sacrifice, and even the heavenly king was afraid. And drive SUSANOO's life out of the sky.
Susan Nuo's life fell to the bird's hair land in the upper reaches of He Fei River in Izumo County. When he saw an old couple crying around a girl and asked why, he realized that every year the Eight Foot Snake would come here to eat virgins. Now is the coming period, which is why he is worried. The serpent has eight heads and eight tails, and is long in cedar and cypress, spanning eight peaks and eight valleys, with blood dripping from its abdomen. Susano's life shows his identity and he is ready to kill Otaru. He let the eight heads of the serpent go deep into the bucket to drink water and get drunk, then drew his sword and cut the snake inch by inch, and the fat river turned into red blood. When he cut the snake's tail, the blade was cut open. At first glance, the internal organs were an Excalibur, so he reported the whole story to the King of Heaven and presented the Excalibur, called the grass-cutting broadsword.
Susan Nuo ordered to marry a girl named Tian Yuan, whose descendants are the god of grain.
* Great God *
Before being sealed by Susanu, the God of Great Powers was called the Great Confucian God, with many brothers.
During the journey, the brothers healed the injured white rabbit, and the white rabbit predicted that the Great God would marry the Great God. As expected, the Great God only wanted to be the wife of the Great God, so they angered all the brothers and killed him twice, all of whom were resurrected with the help of their mother and fled to Susanu, the root country.
Daru Shen and Susan Nuo's daughter are in love and want to get married. SUSANOO asked all kinds of questions to test Da Rushen. When Daru ran away, Su Sannuo ordered him to go to the root country, so that Nuxi, the God of Daru, came from far away and asked for his daughter. Your great god drove away the brother god, established the country, and married Ba Shangyuan as promised, but Ba Shangyuan was afraid of his wife's jealousy and returned to her family after giving birth to Yujing God.
In order to rule Weiyuan China, Tiandi sent Amenoh Shihomimi and Tianbodhisattva successively, but none of them succeeded. Later, they sent the God of Heaven, Thor, and the God of Birds to the seaside of Izumo, pulled out ten fists, and asked the Great God who sat cross-legged. The Great God put the blame on his two sons. On behalf of the Lord God and the famous God, they surrendered the country to the imperial power of China and built the royal Raytheon on Er Shen one by one.
* The sun is about to rise *
Emperor God and Takagi God ordered the emperor and grandson to rule Fengwei Raw Water and Sui Kingdom, so as to make the existing ruling form gain orthodox status and create the myth of kingship. This is to transform the "son of heaven" into a sacred lineage, and to transform the concept of being ordered by the son of heaven into a structure in which lineal blood relatives are ordered by the gods to surrender to local rulers.
* Lin Xingyan and Yamayuki *
Brother Huo Zhao's name is Hai Hangzi, and brother Huo Yuan's name is Shan Hangzi. He often fishes and hunts.
One day, my brother offered to exchange props. As a result, Huo Yuanli didn't even catch a fish, leaving the fish needle at the bottom of the sea. Huo Yuanli was prepared to compensate with 500 or 1000 fishing needles, but my brother refused and had to use the original fishing needles.
Huo Yuanli was crying sadly at the seaside. At this time, Salt god appeared and taught him how to make a bamboo cage boat, so that he could see the world of God in Poseidon. Poseidon's daughter Feng Yuji likes Huo Yuanli's life. Huo Yuanli ordered her to marry her and spend three years with Poseidon.
One day, when I remembered why I came to Poseidon, I couldn't help sighing. This scene was seen by my wife Feng Yuji, so I told Poseidon. Poseidon immediately called a group of fish and asked if anyone could get a fish needle. At this time, a snapper had a fishing needle stuck in her throat, so she took the fishing needle out of the snapper and gave it to Huo Yuanli for life.
On the other hand, Feng Yuji came to the seaside and gave birth to grass and grass, but because the fire was far away, she refused to listen to Feng Yuji's suggestion to peep at the production situation. Feng Yuji returned to the sea, and her sister Yu Yi sold it instead of her sister to raise grass. Later, she married Cao Cao and gave birth to Emperor Jimmu and other children. Emperor Jimmu was the first king and emperor in Japanese history. The story of ancient things has changed from a generation of gods to a generation of people, and the protagonist of the story has changed from an immortal god to a limited life. The stage changed from the mythical world of Gao Tianyuan-Weiyuan-China-Huang Quan to Yamato.
* The tradition of female genital worship in ancient Japan *
There are various explanations about the famous myth of Tianyan Lake.
Among them, there is the theory of sun worship, which expresses the importance of doting on the sun; There is also the theory of solar eclipse to explain the phenomenon of solar eclipse; In addition, there is a so-called sex organ worship theory.
Worship, like the custom of female sex organs' caves and branches forking, can be seen everywhere in China, and the celestial stone house hidden by the gods is the concrete embodiment of female sex organs, which can be said to symbolize the meaning of "in the womb".
As for Tianyu Ji's life, who exposed her vulva and breasts before Iwate's exorcism ceremony? Since the opening of heaven and earth, women have been dancing naked since then, which can be said to be the ancestor of striptease.
In addition, some people say that dancing with Tianyu Ji's fate is the origin of divine joy. The son of Tianyu Ji's destiny, the ape female clan, served the palace on behalf of the soul.
The pleasure of worshipping the gods in the palace is called "the pleasure of obeying the gods", and since the Heian period, it has been changed to "the pleasure of obeying the gods".
In contrast, folk music is called "mainland music".
* What exactly is an Octopus snake? *
Whether in the "ancient story" or in the more widely known story, the story of Su Jian Su Sanu repelling the Eight Banners serpent is a very popular story.
SUSANOO dominated Izumo, and then Okuninushi ordered Izumo to establish the country, which opened the curtain of Izumo myth.
There are also various explanations about this story. For example, it is said that the Oroqen people in Siberia invaded the land where the clouds came out. Or in the image of a serpent, suggesting that penises of different ethnic groups were raped and plundered; There is also a saying that people are sacrificed to strangers in order to quell Pei Yichuan, which has suffered many floods every year (see the legend of Zuo Yongji); In addition, it is also a fact that primitive farmers finally succeeded in building irrigation canals.
What's more, in Ainu language, the word' Octagonal Serpent' means' water with eight tributaries', and this tributary has been flooded many times.
In addition, in view of the development of the article "The Girl of the Eight-pronged Snake", it is pointed out that the Eight-pronged Snake is the leader of the local clan in Hokuriku; As well as the parts of "eyes are bright and red" and "those who see their bellies know that their blood often rots", the association of ironmaking tatara (an ancient melting furnace) is derived.
* White rabbit in the clouds *
Carrying a big bag ...'
Singing this nursery rhyme like this is the original of "The White Rabbit is Mourning", which is widely known even in fairy tales. There are many doubts about this story. First of all, why does Historical Records record the story of "mourning for the death of a white rabbit" here?
Stories like this are circulated in Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Khmer, Malay Peninsula, Indonesia and New Guinea. It is also said that this story may be related to the origin of the Japanese.
The White Rabbit is a maritime tribe in Yinqi Island, but the inhabitants on the cloud at that time could not be the aborigines of the northern nationalities.
Compared with the Tiansun clan that invaded the cloud (the clan that founded the Yamato regime), if this story is to describe the joint relationship between the aborigines and the Hairen clan, it is understandable that there will be a story called' Mourning the White Rabbit' in the history books.
Another question that has been discussed since ancient times is about what the' crocodile' in the book refers to.
There are no reptiles like crocodiles in Japan.
So generally speaking, this crocodile should refer to crocodile shark or sea snake.
Translation notes:
White rabbit mourning: also known as Miyusu. Full text of nursery rhymes: carrying a big bag, the big black god is coming! I saw the white rabbit, naked, without skin and hair!
Crocodile shark: that is, shark. This is a widely used statement; In addition, combined with the image of a great god, it is also called a sea snake.
Ainu people: people who live in Hokkaido, and can also write Xiayi people.
* The significance of the great God Mou Chi's trial *
Why did the great cave Mouchi go through such a cruel test?
There are various explanations about the adult style, the service marriage in which she was assigned to the bride's house as a son-in-law before marriage, and the trial she suffered in order to become the commander-in-chief of Izumo Nuxi.
For example, shellfish and clam shellfish can be considered as "shellfish" as representatives of female sexual organs.
Since ancient times, there has been a custom of smearing the secretion of female sexual organs on wounds to heal wounds, which is based on the' resilience' possessed by witches.
When the big hole Mouchi was trapped by fire, the mouse said,' It's empty inside, but the fire is burning outside!' In short, it is still reminiscent of female genitalia. Here, there is a saying that she escaped into the female body and was protected.
Moreover, as for the story of the Eight Thousand Spears God, it is not a simple sensational story, but can be considered as a record of territorial aggression.
Gao Zhiguo (Yue Guo), where her daughter Guo Ji lives, is located in Hokuriku, the coast of the Sea of Japan, and Duoji lives in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu, so you can know a little about it. As for the word' Numagawa', it means' Warm Water River' in Ainu language, and here we can regard it as the Ji Chuan flowing through Setogawa.
From this consideration, the sphere of influence of Izumo Prefecture should be from Izumo-machi, Niigata Prefecture in the north to the periphery of Zongxiang Prefecture, Fukuoka Prefecture in the south.
Translation notes:
Bei: In the Japanese concept, the appearance of "Bei" often implies/is associated with female genitalia.
Escape into the female body: in the vernacular, it means "I hope to return to my mother's womb and be protected." Judging from the Historical Records, whether the astronomical photos are all represented by women or the cases of escaping into caves, they all show Japan's maternal return consciousness. Up to today, the works of Japanese creators such as Toyo Yoko and Gao Qiao Tetsuya all show a strong sense of maternal regression.
Numa River: Nuna-Kawa, Kawa means Sichuan/River; Nuna of Ainu people is equivalent to "soup" in Japanese.
* The Japanese create two sides of life *
A very popular character in Japanese mythology, Ming Jian, appeared.
At the same time, the protagonist, who has both human strength and delicacy, is full of love adventures and romantic stories, as well as a tragic and happy ending, which makes life in Japan widely supported.
And when he died,' the most harmonious country, the true beauty of the country ... the most harmonious country, such a beautiful country!' Singing this homesick song, he died. Turn the swan into a swan and fly to the shore in the sky. This description.
However, the image of Japanese Jianming in Historical Records and Records of Japan is completely different. The Japanese life recorded in Historical Records is a hero with both human strength and human delicacy.
In addition, in "The History of Japan", the Chinese character Ming Jian of the Japanese was written as "Chun Wu of Japan". He was an extremely brave military commander with the background of state power. Until the end of World War II, he was still regarded as a deified hero of Japan.
* The magic queen is for immigrants *
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's conquest of Korea, the conquest of the Three Kingdoms by the Magic Queen, and the colonial policy during the previous World War II often become the fuse of international disputes between Japan and South Korea.
No matter before or during the war, Empress Shen Gong and Su You Takeuchi can stand shoulder to shoulder with Su Jianshu Shan Ye and Japan's Chun Wu, and they are well-known heroes in Japan.
Japan in the fourth century is a mysterious century, and there is little information about Japan. Judging from North Korea's Baekje Ji and Goguryeo's Monument to the King of Tai Hao, it should be a fact that Japan invaded the Korean Peninsula.
Even though the magic queen is a mysterious figure, she is regarded as an important figure in "Ji Ji".
The name of the divine power queen is Chang, and Dai is a family of the Chang clan in the "Jinjiang Dynasty". It is not difficult to imagine that the water army of Lake Biwa grew up by relying on the water transport of Lake Biwa and the iron weapons of the Jinjiang Dynasty. Then, it is not surprising that if this unit crosses the Sea of Japan, it may invade North Korea.
In addition, as mentioned in the chapter "The Life of Tianmao", the clan of the magical queen can be traced back to Tianmao, that is, the Dulai nationality from the Silla system.
* The true face of the last hero in ancient times *
Emperor Xionglue was the last hero in ancient times who showed strong personality in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne.
Until he succeeded to the throne, Emperor Xionglue (also known as King Ahasai) repeatedly killed and ruled out the rest of the throne.
Even Du Fu, who killed the Katsura family, was kind and full of beauty, which not only weakened the Katsura family who was in power at that time, but also made us realize his ruthlessness.
But after Emperor Xionglue ascended the throne, he gradually showed his gentle heart and rich feelings.
The story of the escape with the red boy in the north, the girl story of Yoshinokawa and the dragonfly, the story of the pig in Guicheng Mountain, the encounter with the god of the word, the song of Tianyu, the song of Yuqi and the song of spring by the triple female officials all describe the unexpected delicacy of Emperor Xionglue.
In a word, the power struggle between the royal blood clan has never stopped, and no one has learned a lesson to punish it. The argument about the royal succession has been going on for thousands of years.
From the birth of God to the construction of the country, from Brandon's world to the human world, the stories of dreams and romance, love and adventure, beauty and heroes described in Ancient Stories faded out of the mythical world two thousand years ago.

Characteristics of Japanese mythology
Japanese mythology has been ordered by Emperor Tianwu. [The Preface to Ancient Events mentions: "What I heard from the Emperor's instructions and what various factions have hidden is not only contrary to the truth, but also hypocritical. At present, if we don't correct its losses, it will be destroyed in a few years. What is Wang Huazhi's grand foundation? So I just want to record the history of the emperor, discuss old sayings, discard the false and keep the true, and want to flow to the future. " ] Ancient books compiled from folklore with the attitude of compiling history books are different from fragmented China myths. The editor connects the fragments, which is more coherent. According to the first volume of Historical Records, the gods were born after creation. First of all, there are three gods in Gao Tianyuan (Heaven), namely "Heaven rules the mind", followed by "Heaven rules the nest" and "Heaven rules the mind". Secondly, in the depression, the "God of suffocation in Yumo" and "God of eternal standing in the sky" were born. These five gods are called "other gods" and "invisible gods" (no matter in the world, body form lived in seclusion). "God in the sky" refers to being located in the center of the sky and dominating everything. The figures such as "three" and "five" appear in the deities, which have the shadow of "three emperors and five emperors" in China. At the same time, "three", "five" and "seven" have always been regarded as sacred figures by China. However, although Gao Tianyuan's god of creation is extremely noble, except for Ye Yi Nagi and Ye Yi Nami, other gods rarely appear in later stories.
In Japanese mythology, the original god represents nature, which is an abstract asexual god, and the second generation god also represents nature, but it is concrete, such as mire, and most of them have gender. For the creation of the world, the description of Japanese mythology is unique. In other countries' mythology, the world is usually created by a male god, while in Japanese mythology, the world is created by the male god Iyena Nagi and the goddess Iyena Meishen (ambiguity and beauty are the laudatory names of men and women).
Most myths and legends that embody Japanese characteristics have a strong local color. Among them, the protagonist is either a raccoon often seen in the countryside or a mermaid in the Sea of Japan. The most representative is Momotaro with a bunch of poultry and animals.
