What do the legendary Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong look like?

According to legend, the mythical Fuxi had a snake body and married his sister Nuwa, gave birth to children, and became the ancestor of mankind. It is also said that he was an outstanding leader of the ancient Chinese tribes. According to the theory of yin and yang changes between heaven and earth, Fu Xi created Bagua, that is, eight simple but profound symbols to summarize everything between heaven and earth.

In addition, he imitated the webs of spiders in nature to make webs, which were used for fishing and hunting. Records about Taihao Fuxi are common in ancient books, but there are different accounts.

Like the Fuxi clan in the shawl, wearing deerskin, an ancient style. In ancient times, people used stone tools to process animal skins, and then sewed them with bone needles and other tools to keep out the cold. In the lower left corner of the picture, there is a Bagua graphic showing his achievements in creating Bagua, and Fu Xi's gaze is deep and wise, worthy of the image of an ancient wise man.

Because Fuxi is the head of the snake body, there is a saying of "the descendant of the dragon". Some scholars pointed out: "Fuxi was born into a snake clan and respected snakes.

The leaves or deer skins he wears on his body are in the shape of the scales or patterns of the snake on the right, which is the family emblem or totem symbol of the snake clan. In recent years, more and more "descendants of the dragon" at home and abroad have played an important role.

Nuwa, with a snake head and a snake body, is the sister of Fuxi, surnamed Feng. In the beginning, man was made out of clay, human society was created, and the institution of marriage was established; Then the world collapsed, so the molten stone to make up for the sky, and the turtle was enough to support the sky. Legend has it that Shennong was born with a "crystal belly", which is almost completely transparent, and all the internal organs can be seen, and what is eaten can be seen.

At that time, people often got sick and even died from indiscriminate eating. For this reason, Shennong decided to taste all the herbs, put the edible ones in a bag on the left side of his body, and introduce them to others to eat and use them for medicinal purposes; If you can't eat it, you put it in the right bag of your body to remind people that you can't eat it.

Mythological stories of ancient China Pangu, Nuwa, Fuxi, Shennong, Youchao, Suiren, Yandi, Huangdi, Chiyou, Luozu, Cangjie, Chinese legends.

Legend has it that Nuwa and Fuxi were related to each other, and established a marriage system and rules with Fuxi, and Nuwa Fuxi and Shennong were both mythological figures in ancient times. "Spring and Autumn Fortune Doushu" and "Lü's Spring and Autumn" refer to Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong as the Three Emperors. (The versions are different, some versions are the Fuxi banquet celebration draft, Shennong, and Suiren are the Three Emperors).

1. Emperor Yan is the honorific title of the leader of the tribe surnamed Jiang in ancient China, called Shennong, also known as Kuikui, Lianshan, Lieshan, alias Zhu Xiang (Chaqiao is still controversial, and it is also said that the Zhu Xiang tribe had three generations of leaders honored as Emperor Yan).

Extended Information Main Lore of the Characters:

1. Fuxi fishing and hunting: I don't know how long it took for people to use ropes to knot nets and use nets to hunt, which is much stronger than hunting with wooden sticks and stone tools. Not only the beasts on the flat ground, but also the birds in the sky and the swimming fish in the water can be shot and caught.

Most of the birds and beasts caught are alive, and they can't be eaten for a while, so they can be kept and raised, and left for the next time to eat, so that people can learn to raise them again.

This kind of work of net-building, hunting, and raising livestock is all the experience that people have accumulated together in the course of labor. Legend has it that the person who invented these things was "Fuxishi", or "庖犠氏" (庖加氏) (庖sacrificial sound páo xī, 庖 is the kitchen, sacrificial means sacrifice) is simplified to Bao Xi or Bao Xi.

2. Shennong tastes herbs: Shennong was originally one of the three emperors, born in a stone cave in Lieshan, and legend has it that he has a bull's head and a human body. Because of his special appearance and hard work and bravery, he was promoted as a tribal leader when he grew up, because his tribe lived in the hot south, called the Yan tribe, and everyone called him Emperor Yan.

Once he saw birds planting seeds, which led to the invention of grain agriculture, and because of these outstanding contributions, everyone called him Shennong.

He saw that people were sick, and went to the garden of the Emperor of Heaven to get Yao grass from the garden of the Emperor of Heaven in the field of Duguang, and Shennong took this whip from the field of Duguang and walked all the way back to the Lieshan.

Shennong was poisoned many times by tasting herbs, all thanks to tea detoxification. Because he vowed to taste all the grass, he finally died because he tasted the grass of broken intestines. In order to commemorate his kindness and merits, people worship him as the god of the king of medicine, and build the temple of the king of medicine to worship at four o'clock.

In China's Sichuan, Hubei and Shaanxi borders, it is said that it is the place where Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, which is called Shennongjia Mountain.

3. The main contributions of the Nuwa clan are: the development of the population by texture; co-founded and improved the marriage system, rules and regulations, customs and etiquette with Fuxi; Flood control and disaster control. The Nuwa clan also fired pottery and carried forward the pottery-making technique.

Pottery was produced at the end of the Fuxi period, in fact, it is the result of three major technological assembly innovations: one is the technology of using fire, the second is the technology of using gourds, and the third is the technology of coating mud.

When I first read this book, I was resistant. Because the author begins by talking about Nuwa's seclusion, but it is linked to Western mythology, and even says that Eve is Nuwa's girlhood. Nuwa, as the god of creation in ancient times, has a snake-tailed human head, pinching mud to create people, and quarrying stones to make up the sky, which is well known among our Chinese descendants.

She is a holy and great, omnipotent goddess, how could she be the one in the Garden of Eden.

I patiently looked down to see what the author had to say.

When God first created her, Adam called her a woman and Eve after eating the forbidden fruit on the grounds that she would be the "mother of all men." ”

The Garden of Eden, in the East, some say it is Hotan, Xinjiang, China. Hotan was known in Khotan in ancient times. Khotan and Eden have similar pronunciations, so they may be in the same place.

What's more, there is also a huge fig tree there. Adam and Eve's covering leaves were ripped from that tree, right? ”

The author finds from the archaeological auspicious chaos, each convenient to hypothesize and extrapolate.

Theory, people have to believe it. I suddenly felt that this book was still a little interesting, and I had the desire to read it.

Later the author naturally talks about the fertility cult, how the matrilineal clan transitioned to the patrilineal clan, then to the tribe, the tribal union, and finally the formation of the state. Among them, Fuxi, Shennong, Dayu, Yaoshun, Houyi, Gonggong, Zhurong and other ancient gods appeared one after another.

From the level of human development history, the author interprets various mythological events from the perspective of "people" through the analysis of various archaeological data, which makes you have to believe it.

Why did primitive societies have fertility cults?

The fertility cult is Nuwa's masterpiece. ”

Nuwa is a big frog. ”

Primitive people lived extremely short, the average Neanderthal was less than 20 years old, no one in the cave people lived past 30 years, and the only thing that could combat the high mortality rate was the high birth rate. However, there will be results every time, and it is all up to luck to have a boy or a girl, and there is a mysterious power in the dark that controls the hit rate. How can we not worship this mysterious reproductive power?

This worship is pragmatism, and the aim is to have more children. ”

When it comes to Fuxi.

In fact, pretending to be a sheep is also a sheep person, and the earliest "sheep man" of our nation is Fuxi. As a hunter, Fu Xi must have disguised sheep back then, otherwise he would not be able to explain why it was a sheep and not a cow on the top of his head. ”

Fuxi's imprint is that men are in power. Once men are in power, the fertility cult will become a totem cult, and the motherhood society will become a patriarchal society. ”

Eve represents the primitive group, which means "from ape to man", and the image is represented as a naked ape;

Nuwa represents the matrilineal clan, which means "from nature to culture", and the image is represented by fish, frog, and moon;

Fuxi represents the patrilineal clan, which means "from maternal love to male power", and the image is represented by birds, snakes, and the sun. ”

Professor Yi Zhongtian spoke of history vividly and interestingly, and he deserved to be the man of the year in the hundred forums, and he was justified even if he interpreted history from a new angle, and friends who were interested in history were worth reading.

According to legend, Fuxi is not the head of the snake body, but the founder of the real Taoism, and the head of the snake body is the prototype of the word "Tao"! Nuwa, with a snake head and a snake body, is the sister of Fuxi, surnamed Feng. Shennong Legend has it that Shennong's body is the head of a cow, three years old, and when he grows up, he is eight feet seven inches tall and has a dragon face and big lips.

Fuxi and Nuwa are both human heads and snake bodies; Shennong is a bull-headed human body.

Fuxi (birth and death unknown), surnamed Feng, son of the Suiren clan. It is also written as Mi Xi, Ku Xi, Bao Xi, and Fu Xi, also known as Emperor Xi, Huang Xi, and Taihao, and is called Fu Xi in the historical records. Also known as the Green Emperor, he is one of the Five Heavenly Emperors, born in the Chengji period, and the era is about the middle and late Paleolithic period.

Fuxi is the ancestor of the Chinese nation in ancient legends, the earliest king recorded in ancient Chinese books, and one of the originators of Chinese medicine. According to legend, the head of the Fuxi people was a snake body, married Nuwa brothers and sisters, and had children, he invented and created divination gossip according to the changes of all things in heaven and earth, and created words to end the history of "knotted rope records". He also knotted ropes into nets, which he used to catch birds and hunt, and taught people how to fish and hunt, invented seers, and composed songs.

Fuxi died one hundred and eleven years later, leaving behind a large number of myths and legends about Fuxi.

Nuwa: The goddess of creation in ancient Chinese mythology. Also known as Emperor Wa, Nuyin Niangniang, the historical record of Nuwa, is the ancestor of the Chinese national humanities, and the righteous god of the blessed society.

Legend has it that Nuwa created a human being, transformed in the middle of a day, and used yellow clay to create a human being by imitating herself, creating human society and establishing a marriage system; Later, because the world collapsed, the molten stone was used to make up for the sky, and the turtle was enough to stand the four poles, leaving the myth and legend of Nuwa mending the sky.

Nuwa is not only a hero who repairs the heavens and saves the world and a goddess who creates people from the earth, but also a natural god who creates all things, with vast magical powers and incarnate all things, and can create at least 70 things every day. She was the creator of the world, so she is called the mother of the earth, and is the creator god and the first mother goddess who have been widely and long-worshiped by the people.

Shennong: The leader of the ancient Chinese tribal alliance. As the last god of the Five Clans, he ended an era of famine.

Because it is mainly agricultural, his tribe is called the Shennong tribe. Through the hard work of the Three Emperors, China has made great progress, but people's lives are still very difficult. At this time, great gods and goddesses came into being.

Just after the Three Emperors, after a long period of time, the following five clans appeared: the Chao clan, the Suiren clan, the Fuxi clan, the Nuwa clan, and the Shennong clan. Five's"Clan"The original meaning is also God only, but the divinity is more than that"Emperor"Less, it can be included in the third level of gods.

Shennong, because his belly is transparent, you can see the reaction of various plants in the stomach. In this way, you can distinguish what plants can be eaten and what plants cannot be eaten, and taste the herbs to discern the effect of the medicine. In this way, he wrote the earliest work of mankind, "Shennong's Materia Medica", taught people to plant grains and raise livestock, so that the agricultural social structure of the Han nationality in China was completed.

Shennong's is a hard-working, brave and wise tribal leader in China's primitive society, he is the ancestor of the Chinese nation, the ancestor of agriculture, the ancestor of medicine, the ancestor of commerce, etc., and has made indelible contributions to Chinese civilization, and is called by later generations"Three Emperors"One.
