What spiritual qualities does the god of fire Zhurong have?

Zhu Rong, the ancient emperor in myths and legends, used fire to transform and was called the Red Emperor.

Later generations revered him as the god of fire. Some people say that Zhu Rong was one of the three emperors, five emperors and three emperors in ancient times. Live in Kunlun Mountain.

The Palace of Light is the one who passed down the fire and taught mankind how to use fire. When it comes to the establishment of the South Sea Temple, people will naturally ask about the name of the South Sea God. The god of the South China Sea is called Zhu Rong, and some history books call it Zhu Chi, which is the abbreviation of Zhu Rong and the Red Emperor.

In fact, Zhu Rong and the Red Emperor are the same person, Zhu Rong was originally the god of fire, and once there is a fire today, people still think that Zhu Rongjun is coming. Who is Zhu Rong? How did he become one God?

There are many legends about this. Legend 1: Zhu Rong is the emperor of China.

He used fire to transform and was called the Red Emperor. According to legend, Zhurong is still a ** family, he often plays melodious and touching music on the high mountains, so that the people of Li are invigorated, emotional, and full of love for life. After Zhu Rong died, he was buried in Nanyue Hengshan.

Zhiyang, in order to commemorate him, the descendants called the highest peak of Nanyue Zhurong Peak. Legend 2: During the reign of the ancient emperor Yu (kù Yinku), there was a man named Chongli, who was 颛顼.

son, his official position is "Huo Zheng", that is, fire officer. Chongli was loyal to his duties, worked hard to serve the emperor and the vast number of Li people, and was meritorious as a fire officer, so the emperor gave him the title of "Zhu Rong". "Zhu" means forever and continuously, and "Rong" is a symbol of light, that is, I hope that Chongli will continue to shine on the earth with fire and bring light to people forever.

After Zhu Rong died, he was buried in the south peak of the Shun Temple of Hengshan in Nanyue, which is now under the Zhu Rong Peak. Legend 3: The Yellow Emperor.

During the period, the Yellow Emperor toured the south and couldn't distinguish the direction, so he asked "Zhu Rong to distinguish the south", that is, it should be said that the Nanyue of Hengyang was first identified by Zhu Rong, so he took the position of Situ. Later, Zhu Rong was sealed as Chu and became the ancestor of the Chu people. There is also a Zhurong hall on the top of Zhurong Peak in Nanyue of Hengyang today, there is a stone railing built on the rock behind the palace, you can look at the scenery of the North Mountain by the railing.

How can this god of fire, the ancestor of the Chu people, Zhu Rong, also serve as the god of the sea? The ancients believed that the south belonged to fire, and fire was a symbol of light, and the origin of fire was in water.

In the gossip, it belongs to the fire, and the hexagram is located in the south.

The fire god Zhu Rong hits the stone to make fire, which embodies the spirit of Zhu Rong who is good at research and innovation.

Suiren is to drill wood to make fire, and Zhu Rong is to hit stones to make fire. It shows that Zhu Rong is good at research and innovation.

Zhu Rong, the legendary god of fire in China, was also a very outstanding emperor in ancient China. The biggest reason why Zhu Rong is called the god of fire is that Zhu Rong invented the fire to keep it and brought light to people. So what method did Zhurong use to make fire in ancient times?

Let's take a look at the story of Zhurong taking fire.

According to legend, Zhu Rong is the son of Emperor Zhuan, since the Suiren clan successfully drilled wood under the peach wood to make fire, the people of the Chinese tribe ended the era of Ru Mao drinking blood, and began to step by step towards a new era of cooked food.

However, with the development and progress of society, people are also facing new problems and challenges step by step, although people have learned how to obtain fire, but people can not keep the fire for a long time, every time it takes a long time to drill wood, so it has become very laborious to rely on the method of the Suiren clan to obtain fire.

People are wondering what can be done to change this lack of fire. Once, when it was pouring rain from the sky, the remnants of the flames were extinguished, and the people were again plunged into a time without flames, and the wood was already so wet that it was difficult to get the fire by drilling wood.

At this time, Zhu Rong was very annoyed, so he inadvertently kicked a stone, and the stone splashed on top of another stone, bursting out a trace of sparks, and Zhu Rong was very happy to see the sparks.

Then, Zhu Rong began to continue to carry the stones, kicking the stones one by one, and finally the slightest sparks burst into the dark darkness one after another.

Zhu Rong had the first experience, in a certain day, continued to hold two stones and collided with each other, and finally produced a faint spark again, Zhu Rong sped up again, and finally the spark burst on the reed next to it, and the reed was successfully ignited.

Zhu Rong hurriedly told the clansmen about this method, and Zhu Rong can be said to be the first person in my country to make fire by rubbing stones, which is the story of Zhu Rong making fire.

1. The legend of Vulcantai.

Legend has it that Emperor Yu's son, Yan Bo, was originally the "God of Fire" in the sky, and he violated the rules of heaven by secretly throwing fire into the world, and the Emperor wanted to demote him to the mortal world for the people. When he was about to come down from heaven, he secretly hid the fire on his body and brought it to the world. Not long after, the Emperor of Heaven knew about the theft of the fire, so the Emperor of Heaven sent a flood to drown the fire in the world and punish him.

The flood on the ground was like a beast of prey, and the people fled in all directions. In order to preserve the fire, he built a high platform, set up a shed to shelter from the rain, and stayed alone on the high platform to guard the fire. When the flood receded, when people rushed back from all directions, the fire on the high platform was still burning, but Yan Bo starved to death by the fire.

2. The legend of the former high of the fire god Zhurong.

Zhu Rong's original name was Li, and legend has it that he was born in a clan society and was the son of a clan leader. Li has been particularly fond of fire since he was a child, and at that time, the Suiren clan had just invented drilling wood to make fire, and people lacked knowledge about the preservation and use of fire.

Once, when he was on a long migration with his father, he brought only stones to drill wood for fire, because it was inconvenient to walk with him. At night, everyone was going to use fire, but Li couldn't get the fire, so he was so angry that he threw the stone to the mountain, but the stone fell and splashed a few sparks.

The clever Li saw an idea and immediately came up with a new way to make fire. He picked the dried reeds, knocked them against the reeds with two sharp stones, and the sparks splashed on the reeds, and then a light blow made a fire. This is the later method of striking stones to make fire.

Therefore, at that time, the Yellow Emperor named him the official of fire and gave him the name Zhurong.

It reflects the development of civil fire technology of the Chinese ancestors.

Roughly speaking, the Zhurong clan was a tribe that appeared in the Shennong era, or as early as the Fuxi era, and was famous for being good at taking fire, pipes and using fire, and gradually migrated to the south to live, making outstanding contributions to the development of civil fire technology of the Chinese ancestors. By the time of the Five Emperors, "Zhurong" was therefore used as an official title, which should be more accurately the name of an industry.

The following account of his birth is made in the book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of Mountains and Seas: "The wife of Emperor Yan, the son of Chishui, listened to Wo, gave birth to Yanju, Yanju gave birth to festivals, festivals and festivals, and drama instruments gave birth to Zhurong." It can be seen that Zhu Rong is the fifth generation grandson of Emperor Yan.

In addition, according to the "Classic of the Sea", it is also said: The Yellow Emperor gave birth to Changyi, Changyi gave birth to the Korean Wave, and the Korean Wave gave birth to the Korean Wave. "The Great Wilderness West Classic" is supplemented as:

The old boy gives birth to the old child, and the old boy gives birth to the blessing". Zhu Rong is an official position, the descendants of Emperor Yan have held this position, with the official position as the clan name, and Zhu Rong has also served as the post after Zhuan, and also uses the position as the clan name, resulting in the history of the Yan Emperor Zhu Rong clan and the Zhu Rong clan of the Zhurong clan. So, what does Zhu Rong look like?

The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Southern Classics says: "Zhurong in the south, the body of the beast and the face of the human, take two dragons." It can be seen that he is not a "perfect person", Guo Ya commented "Vulcan also".

In the twenty-ninth year of Zhao Gong, it is said: "Huo Zheng is said to be Zhu Rong", Huo Zheng is the ** who is in charge of fire, and the mythical fire god Zhu Rong has gradually evolved into the official position of the fire in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The book "Hanshu Five Elements Zhi I" says:

The ancient fire is positive, called the fire official, who is in charge of sacrificing Mars and practicing fire politics. "Because Zhu Rong is the god of fire, his power has also been applied to the war between the two armies. "Mozi Fei Conquered" is recorded as follows:

Cheng Tang Hua Xia), the Mandate of Heaven Rong (Zhu Rong) Long (Descending) Fire Dry Li Xia City's leisure, the northwest corner. "This may be the first time that fire warfare has been used in warfare. Zhu Rong has a younger brother named Wu Hui, also known as Hui Lu, who is also a lawsuit "Huozheng".

It's just that the reputation is not as big as Zhurong, and it is not without basis that people call the fire "Zhurong's trouble". Thus, there is the origin of using Zhurong instead of the word fire.

Zhurong, the god of fire, is the embodiment of fire worship, one of the forms of nature worship in primitive religion.

In primitive societies, people believed that the fire on which they lived had life, will, spirituality and magical powers, and could affect the fate of human beings, so they worshiped it as an object of awe and asked for its protection and blessing.

On the one hand, fire worship originated from the primitive ancestors' sense of terror and awe of fire, and on the other hand, it originated from their belief that fire is a living creature that can devour animals and plants, and is a god.

And this kind of worship, after sorting out and inductive interpretation, gradually formed a concrete object of worship, and the legend of the fire god Zhurong was formed.

The classic children's mythological story "Suiren and the Fire God Zhurong".

This legend reflects the fact that people can pray to the god of fire for peace!
