Myth says that there is a bird in the sun, is it true?

According to the accounts of ancient books such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the ten days in the myth and legend of the sun in ancient China were recorded.

It is the son of Emperor Jun and Xihe, who have the characteristics of both humans and gods, and are the embodiment of the golden crow, a three-legged crow, and a flying sun god bird.

Huainanzi Spiritual Chapter says that "there is a crow in the sun", and Guo Pu's commentary says that "there is a three-legged crow", which is an explanation and explanation of the sun as the incarnation of the golden crow. In ancient myths and legends, the ten days take turns to rise from the Fuso Sacred Tree in the east every morning, turn into a golden crow or sun god bird and fly from east to west in the universe, and at night it falls on the western Wakaki Sacred Tree, which expresses the observation and feeling of the sunrise and sunset phenomenon in ancient times that melted into the myth.

Mr. Wang Hongqi wrote the article "The Scientific Connotation of Bifang Bird, Stove Wangye, and Suiren's Clan", which introduced: "The Five Tibetan Mountain Classics and the West Mountain Classics record: There is a kind of bird born on Zhangguo Mountain, which is shaped like a crane, with only one foot, with red patterns in the blue on the body, and a white beak.

This bird is called Bifang, and the sound of its chirping is its name. Strange fires occur where it appears.

The "Sun God Bird" unearthed from the Jinsha site intuitively vividly shows the symbolic meaning and mythological color of the ancient Shu people's worship of the sun and other religious worship. At the center of the inner layer of the pattern is a clockwise swirl with 12 arc-shaped teeth, and the whirlpool in the center resembles both a rotating fireball and a moving sun.

Its 12 arc-shaped teeth resemble both 12 burning flames and 12 rays of the sun. The center of the "Sun God Bird" shoots out flames and spinning the sun, which shows the worship and eulogy of the ancient Shu people to the sun and the sun god.

The scientific knowledge of the calendar and other scientific knowledge contained in the "Sun God Bird" is reflected in the number of birds and sun patterns. The number of flying birds and sun mangs in the "Sun God Bird" is 4 and 12 respectively, which is not a coincidence, but the inevitability of historical development. They mean a specific thing:

The outer layer of 4 birds flying in the opposite direction, each bird corresponds to 3 crescents, no more, no less, impartial, just to show that each bird represents a season (3 months), and the 4 flying birds represent the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. It also shows that the ancient Shu people already had the concept of four times. The 12 swirling rays of light in its inner layer resemble both ivory and crescent moons, indicating the cycle of the 12 months of the year.

The four birds move in the opposite direction to the sun and the 12 crescent moons, which also vividly shows the passage of time, the cycle of the four seasons, the cycle of the years, the months and the months.

The sun god bird pattern has far-reaching meaning, rigorous composition, smooth lines, and great beauty, which is the ancient people"Heaven and man are one"The perfect combination of philosophical thought, rich imagination, extraordinary artistic creativity and exquisite craftsmanship.

The sun god bird pattern is an outstanding representative of the artistic expression of the Chinese ancestors worshipping the sun, as a symbol of Chinese cultural heritage, reflecting the strong cohesion and centripetal force of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and showing the spirit of the Chinese nation of self-improvement and upward spirit.

The sun god bird gold ornament was unearthed in Chengdu Jinsha site in 2001, which is a major discovery of China's archaeology in the 21st century, reflecting the achievements of China's cultural relics protection work. The spiritual implication of the pursuit of light, unity and progress, harmony and inclusiveness expressed by the sun god bird pattern demonstrates the strong sense of responsibility and sacred mission of China and the people to protect the cultural heritage of the motherland.

In the pattern, the sun shoots out twelve rays of light in all directions, showing a strong sense of movement, symbolizing light and the eternity of life. Twelve rays of the sun and four birds"Twelve"with"Four"It is a number often used in Chinese culture, such as the twelve months, the twelve zodiac signs, the four seasons, the four directions, etc., which express the deep understanding of the natural laws of the ancestors.

Passing down history. In the ancient history and legends of Sichuan, there have been many records related to the Yellow Emperor, Zhuan Xuan, and Dayu. At least 70 of the oracle bones in Yinxu record the relationship between Shu and Shang.

A large number of excavated artifacts prove that the pre-Qin archaeological culture in the Sichuan Basin was strongly influenced by the cultures of the Central Plains, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Ganqing region.

On February 8, 2001, in the pipeline construction of Jinsha Village in the suburbs of Chengdu, some bronze, stone and other cultural relics were excavated, and archaeologists immediately excavated large-scale scientific excavations, and a large number of gold, jade, bronze and ivory were continuously unearthed, which was amazing.

At 10 o'clock in the morning on February 25th, a special gold ornament was unearthed by a number of wanton excavations, the gold ornaments have been kneaded together when just unearthed, after the archaeologists carefully and scientifically recorded, the gold ornaments were carefully restored, the patterns of "sun" and "birds" depicted on the gold ornaments were clearly presented, accompanied by a large number of jade and gold artifacts that showed the royal power, and it was enough to prove that this gold ornament was very likely to be the treasure left by the ancient Shu king holding a grand sacrifice ceremony.

Chengdu Jinsha site, unearthed.

There is a black three-legged crow in the red sun, and the black crow squatting around the red sun is the "red light" that flashes with golden light, so it is called "golden crow" as one of the sacred birds in ancient Chinese myths and legends.

The image of the golden crow was originally a two-legged Western Han Dynasty that evolved into a three-legged one, see the two-legged golden crow unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb, and because it is different from the crow in nature, add a foot to distinguish, the three-legged black is the name of the sacred bird that drives the Japanese chariot in Chinese myths and legends. It is the evolution of the three-legged black in Japan and China. The three-legged black is also known as the "poodoo".

It dwells in the middle of the day and has three legs.

Legend has it that in the sun lived a black three-legged crow, also known as the "Red Crow".

The mythical and legendary three-legged crow is recorded in many classics, and it is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": there are ten of them, and they live on the Fuso tree in the eastern sea, and rise in turn every day. One day, the Golden Crow was in turmoil, and ten of them flew into the sky at the same time, and the earth was scorched by them, until nine of them were shot down by Hou Yi - yes, this is the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun.

But if it is according to modern mythology, such as "Journey to the West", the phoenix was born when the world first opened, and competed with the dragon and the unicorn for hegemony, even earlier than the emperor at that time, plus the three-legged golden crow was killed by Hou Yi Nine of them, it seems to be quite fragile, so it ranks second, if according to ancient mythology, such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", the phoenix is only a hundredBirdsThe king, noWhathas special magical powers, so the three-legged golden crow ranks first, but if it is ranked according to ancient mythology, then Peacock and Dapeng will not be ranked at all.

So how was the three-legged black born? It is likely to originate from the sunspots observed by the ancient ancestors of our country, the image of the sunspots in the sun is like a crow that has been squatting, and the silk painting in the Western Han Dynasty Mawangdui is such an image, and the sunspot is like a crow, but it is still impossible to explain the origin of the three-legged. To explain this problem, we have to start with the ancient bird-shaped ware, because when making bird-shaped ware, because the two feet cannot make the object stand steadily, the general practice is to add a short pillar to its tail.
