The Chinese mythological system should not contain the !!!! of Buddhism

Is it okay here? In addition, I don't know if "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" counts.

Because Chinese mythology itself has two main carriers: folk oral transmission and written records. Not to mention the text carrier, there is a huge difference in the part of oral transmission.

On the other hand, the history of China is too long, and many myths and stories have been created and modified by different dynasties for political purposes themselves. The most typical myth is the worship of Guan Yu. And within the same religious system, there are also great differences in the description of the same system of gods.

For example, there are many theories about Yuan Shi Tianzun.

In my opinion, if I have to divide them, it should be religious mythology, literary mythology, and folk mythology.

The first is the myths that various religions have compiled to propagate their own teachings, such as the various stories recorded in the Buddhist and Taoist scriptures.

The second is mythological stories that have been created or compiled by literature, such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Sou Shen Ji, the Four Great Masterpieces, Liao Zhai and so on.

The last one is based on folk customs or local legends, such as Guan Gong, Mazu and the Dragon King.

You've got a lot of knowledge in this area.

Ancient Chinese mythology is dominated by Taoist mythology, and Buddhist mythological figures were added later, after all, Buddhism was not produced in China.

Pangu (opening the heavens and the earth, generating the sun, the moon, mountains and rivers) Nuwa (mending the sky, creating people, etc.) Fuxi, Houyi, Chang'e (shooting the sun, running to the moon, etc.), Kuafu (chasing the sun) Three Emperors and Five Emperors Taoist ancestors Folk myths (such as the list of gods, the eight immortals crossing the sea, etc.).

There is a question here, there is no description of the 10 suns in the time of Nuwa, but there is one in Houyi, so Houyi should be another mythological system.

Don't be misled. The scattered deities of the early Chinese gods are recorded in various literature and history books. This was before Taoism came into existence.

For example, representative figures. Nu wa. Fuxi. The Queen Mother of the West and the like.

After that, Lao Tzu's Taoist thought appeared. But Taoism has not yet been formed. Until Zhang Daoling officially founded Taoism.

Taoism has an independent god system, an immortal system. For details, you can take a look at the Legend of the Immortals.

For example, Sanqing. Yuan Shi Tianzun, moral Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun.

I can't tell you the specifics. I don't seem to have found a complete list of gods on the Internet.

However, there is no record of the Yuan Shi Tianzun in the early Taoist literature of Taoism. No source to be found.

Many people say that Pangu is the Yuan Shi Tianzun. First of all, Pangu is recorded in the Three Kingdoms period.

Even the Classic of Mountains and Seas does not mention Pangu. The earliest record of Yuan Shi Tianzun is in the Jin Dynasty.

First of all, the original religion in China is Taoism. Buddhism was introduced to China in the later period. Buddhism is an atheistic religion.

Integrate Buddhism into the Taoist immortal system. It's depicted in **. Don't be misled and confused.

For example. Romance of the Gods. Journey. These are**. There are a lot of fictional components.

No, it is scattered in some historical classics, that is, because the ancient Chinese lacked the philosophical way of thinking of Westerners, especially the ancient Greeks, and were not good at systematically expounding their own remarks, often some sporadic fragments, so there are many points of view, we have to put forward hundreds or even thousands of years earlier than Westerners, but the lack of systematic elaboration and explanation, people do not recognize. The writings of ancient Chinese mythology that we see today were all formed after being sorted out by later generations.

Because China is a country less than vast, surrounded by the sea in the east and high mountains in the west, it is a system of its own, so...

In the east, there are Daomen Sanqing, Nuwa Fuxi, and the gods of the heavenly court.

Amitabha Buddha in the West, Bodhi Patriarch, Buddha of Rulai.

Hundreds of birds and phoenixes.

Once upon a time, Phoenix just.

A very inconspicuous little bird, with ordinary feathers, not at all as dazzling as the legend suggests. But it has an advantage: it is very industrious, and does not know how to play when it is full like other birds, but is busy from morning to night, picking up the fruits thrown by other birds one by one and storing them in the hole.

One year, there was a great drought in the forest. The birds couldn't find food, they were so hungry that they couldn't hold it anymore. At this time, the phoenix hurriedly opened the cave and took out the dried fruits and grass seeds that he had accumulated over the years and distributed them to everyone, and tide over the difficulties with everyone.

After the drought, in order to thank the phoenix for saving his life, the birds chose the most beautiful feather from their body and plucked it out to make a dazzling bird suit to the phoenix, and unanimously elected it as the king of birds.

In the future, every time the phoenix celebrates its birthday, birds from all over the world will fly to congratulate the phoenix, which is a hundred birds to the phoenix.

I suggest you take a look.

The essence of the more famous Chinese mythology:

Pangu opens the sky. Nuwa mends the sky.

Nuwa's marriage with Zhuan Fuxi's brother and sister.

Fuxi's invention.

Shennong tastes herbs.

Jingwei reclamation. Praise the father chasing the sun.

Zhu Rong and the battle of Gonggong.

Co-work angered the mountain.

颛顼 music. Peng Zu's lament.

Shen Tu and Yu Lei.

Cangjie makes words. The battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou.

The Ambition of the Heavens. Hou Yi shoots the sun.

Chang'e to the moon. The god of Xiangshui.

Dayu controls the water. Hole armor beast dragon.

Eight immortals across the sea. Hope it helps.

They are all characters in the story, and the storytelling is fictional. Just don't be superstitious.

It is mainly based on the Taoist immortal system, and mixed with some folk beliefs in the immortal system and Buddhist concepts to form the ancient Chinese mythological system. The highest in the Taoist system is the Three Qings, and there are four royals, three officials, eight immortals and 28 constellations, etc., which are very huge.

Folk beliefs are mainly derived from the records of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Sou Shen Ji and some popular local god worship, such as the ancient gods Yao Shunyu, and the more distant Pangu Fuxi Nuwa Yellow Emperor and so on. The Buddhist system mainly constitutes a complete system of reincarnation and the concept of hell in the mythological system.

Specifically, you can refer to a book called "Jade Calendar Treasure Bank", which is very detailed. It is worth noting that whether it is the Taoist system, the folk belief system or the Buddhist system, there are overlapping places. For example, Guan Yu is a martial saint in Confucianism, Guan Sheng Emperor in Taoism, and General Jialan in Buddhism.
