And it can best reflect the original features of ancient myths in China, and it can be said that it is the ancestor of ancient myths in China. In fact, the ancient myth system in China is very huge, and its influence has a long history. In the meantime, it can be said that it has penetrated into all levels of Chinese studies, and as we all know, all documents about ancient emperors and generals will add some mythical colors to operate, creating the description of the three emperors and five emperors in the first chapter of Historical Records. For example, the emperor concerned said, "My mother said that she attached treasure to her, and she saw the big electricity winding around the Beidou and was born in Shouqiu." Shouqiu is in the north of Ludongmen, and now it is 60 miles northeast of Qufu County in Yanzhou. Born in the corner of the sun, he has the reputation of Jing Yun and is the king of virtue, so he is called the Yellow Emperor. In our image, the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" are no longer mortal, but gods, because they are epic poems that create human civilization, and the successive flood control by Gun and Yu is a typical example. The gun stole the earth from heaven to save the flood, and as a result, heaven sent someone to kill him. But Yu was born in the belly of a gun and inherited his great cause of water control. After going through all kinds of hardships, Yu was not married at the age of 30, and went to water conservancy four days after marriage. Finally, he succeeded in using water. As Zhu said, Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi, Yaoshun, and officials of Si Tuleideng and Dianyue were all kings and teachers appointed by God. The widely circulated theory of the Five Heavenly Emperors was called Oriental Wood by later generations.

Heaven and Earth: Fuxi (also called Tai Hao) was later inherited by Nu Wa.

Southern fire

Heaven and Earth: Yan Di was originally the highest god, but after the Yanhuang War, he retired to the south to take charge.

Western gold

Heaven and Earth: Shao Hao should be the king of OOCL, a bird country, and later he became the heaven and earth of the West. The record here is a little unclear.

Northern water

Heaven and Earth: the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor in Zhuan Xu.

Central soil

Heaven and earth: the highest god of the Yellow Emperor. This is the real "God in the sky", ruling in all directions. About the ancient gods: Pangu: Pangu created the world. When he cried, his tears turned into rivers, and the flash in his eyes turned into lightning. Say that when he is happy, it is sunny; When you are angry, the sky is gloomy. He also said that it is daytime to open your eyes and night to close your eyes. His voice turned into thunderous thunder, his breath into clouds, his left eye into the sun, his right eye into the moon, his body and limbs into the four poles and five mountains of the earth, his blood into rivers, lakes and seas, his muscles into roads, his beard and hair into stars in the sky, his skin and hair into flowers and trees, his teeth and bones into shiny metals, hard stones and circles. All kinds of parasites growing on him, nourished by sunshine and rain, have become ordinary people on earth. In this way, after the creation of the world, Pangu gave birth to everything in the world with his whole body. Pangu, who created the world, is revered by people. In some ethnic groups in southwest China, there are also various rituals and myths that worship Pangu. Legend has it that there is an 800-mile-long tomb in the South China Sea to bury his soul. "Yi Shi" quoted "Calendar Five Games": "The first born Pangu, the last incarnation. ..... The left eye is the sun and the right eye is the moon. ..... the star's moustache.

Nu Wa: Nu Wa is a goddess with a long tail. Since the beginning of time, Pangu has traveled around the world. Nu Wa wanted to create a new life, so she grabbed the loess on the ground, imitated the shape of the reflection in the water, and kneaded it into the shape of a villain. As soon as these clay figurines were put on the ground, they were alive and kicking, and Nu Wa named them "people". In this way, she made up many men and women with yellow mud. But the speed of pinching people by hand is too slow after all, so Nu Wa successfully picked up a straw rope and stirred the dark yellow mud to the ground. As a result, the place where the mud splashed down became a place where people jumped around. So there are traces of human activities everywhere on the earth. Nu Wa also matched men and women, telling them to have their own offspring and pass them on from generation to generation. In mythology, Nu Wa is not only the original mother who created human beings, but also the earliest god of marriage. Later, for some reason, the universe suddenly changed dramatically. Half the sky collapsed, revealing terrible changes. Half the sky collapsed, revealing a terrible black hole. There are also huge cracks in the ground. A blazing fire broke out on the mountain and a flood gushed out underground. All kinds of wild animals, bad birds and strange pythons rushed out to harm human beings. Seeing that mankind suffered such a tragic disaster, Nu Wa tried her best to mend the heavens and the earth. She first selected Xu colorful stone from the irrigation river, melted it into paste, and mended the holes in the sky one by one. He killed another chinemys reevesii, cut off its four feet, and stood on the four sides of the earth to support the sky. Then he killed the black dragon, drove away all kinds of birds and animals, and blocked the cross-flow flood with reed ash. Since then, the disaster has subsided, mankind has been saved, and the world is thriving. In order to make people live a happier life, Nu Wa also made a musical instrument called Sheng Chun, which people can enjoy after work. Nu Wa is a mythical figure in matriarchal clan society. This myth reflects the naive understanding of human origin and natural phenomena at that time. Up to now, the myths and legends of Nu Wa are still circulating among the Miao and Dong people in southwest China, and they worship her as the ancestor of their own nation. Kuafu: Tall Kuafu is determined to catch up with the sun and make an earth-shattering career. Kuafu has two yellow snakes hanging from his ears, two yellow snakes in his hand and a walking stick. One day, the sun rose, and he strode after the sun until he reached Yugu. Legend has it that Yugur is a place where the sun rests. Take a bath here after sunset and rest on the huge wood. It went up again the next day. At this moment, I saw a huge red fireball in front of me. Kuafu had entered the light wheel of the sun and was completely surrounded by light. He felt very thirsty when he celebrated his victory. So he bent down, gulped down the water from the Yellow River and Weihe River, and drank up the water from both rivers in a few times, which was still unbearable. He ran to the north again, wanting to drink water from osawa. Osawa is a water body with thousands of miles. But Kuafu died before reaching his destination, and fell down like a mountain. Where the crutches fell, a peach forest with lush foliage and heavy fruits appeared. The myth of "Kuafu is growing day by day" embodies the spirit of the primitive ancestors to pursue light. Worker: Why do the sun, the moon and the stars rise and set in the west? Why do all rivers flow eastward? Legend has it that the water god * * * broke Tianzhu and * * * became a symbol of justice. * * * is the son of Vulcan Zhu Rong. He has a human face, a snake body and red hair. * * * Workers are often in charge of seven-tenths of the world, such as oceans, rivers and lakes, rivers and swamps. In the war between the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di, Gong Gong used water to help his ancestor Yan Di fight. Zhuan Xu is the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, who once asked him to represent theocracy. But when he was in charge of theocracy, he didn't care about the people on earth, and sent people to cut off the passage between heaven and earth and oppress the dissatisfied gods. What is even more unreasonable is that he tied the sun, the moon and the stars to the northern sky and fixed them there. In this way, some places on the earth are always bright, and some places are always dark, which brings disaster to people. Water god * * * took the opportunity to lead his men, rose up, overthrew the rule of Zhuan Xu and seized the throne of the Emperor of Heaven. The war was fierce, and they fell from the sky and hit the foot of a mountain called Buzhoushan. Buzhou Mountain is located in the northwest, with a strange and abrupt shape, and it is a very high supporting Tianzhu. The two sides kept fighting here, but when they saw that they couldn't win for a while, they suddenly became furious and slammed the island. They only heard a loud noise and broke the island in an instant. At this time, great changes have taken place in the whole universe. The sky in the northwest is tilted downward because there is no support from the hills, and the sun, moon and stars can no longer be fixed in place, alternating day and night once a day. The land in the southeast was violently shaken by the landslide, and sank downward, forming the terrain of China, which is high in the west and low in the east. Since then, the water of the river has flowed to the east independently. Xingtian: Xingtian is a famous mythical hero. He fought against the Emperor of Heaven and was beheaded after his defeat. The Yellow Emperor defeated Emperor Yan with great force and took the throne of the Central Emperor of China. Emperor Yan was forced to retreat to the south. However, Emperor Yan's men were unwilling to fail, and Xingtian vowed to compete with the Yellow Emperor for the throne. Holding a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right hand, he launched a fierce battle with the Emperor of Heaven. Jingwei: Jingwei's reclamation was first seen in Shan Hai Jing Bei San Ji Jing: "There are many rotten trees on the mountain where pigeons are born. There is a bird that looks like a blackbird, has a prefix, is white and barefoot. It's called Jingwei, and its name is Xiao. It's Yan Di's maiden name is Girl. The girl drowned while swimming in the East China Sea, so she is Jingwei. I often hold the stone of Xishan to hold the stone of Donghai. " According to Stories of Different Stories (I), Jingwei and Haiyan combined to have children, a female and a male, a "bird market", a "wronged bird", also known as "knowing bird", which is called the emperor bird. In the East China Sea, Jingwei vowed to drink water, because I once fanned in this river, so I vowed not to drink this water. According to the legend of "Zigaifeng" circulating in Hunan today, Jingwei prayed for the salvation of the resurrected grass for Shennong and reclaimed the sea for revenge, which was guided, rescued and encouraged by Taoist immortals. This myth is also circulating in Shaanxi and Fangcheng, Henan. Yi: Yi is a good shooter. Even if a bird flies by, it can be shot down with one arrow. Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Yao, ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time, which brought severe drought to mankind. The land was baked to smoke, all the seedlings withered, and even copper, iron and sand were soft and almost melted. The people feel even worse, and their blood seems to be boiling in the sports peasant association. Strange birds and animals have appeared from burning forests and boiling rivers and lakes to hurt people and make them more miserable. When the Emperor of Heaven knew this, he sent Yi to the mortal world to save the people. The Emperor of Heaven gave Yi a red bow and ten white arrows. He went to the mortal world on the orders of the Emperor of Heaven and was welcomed by the people. So he posed, bent his bow and took an arrow, and it was difficult to accurately locate the fireball in the sky and hit it with an arrow. There was no sound at first, but after a while, I saw filariasis flying in the sky and the fireball burst silently. Then, a bright red thing fell to the ground. People are scrambling to explore it. It turned out to be a three-legged crow, golden in color and huge in size, probably the embodiment of the soul of the sun. Look at the sky again, the sun is gone, and the air seems to be colder. People can't help cheering in unison. This encouraged Yi, who, regardless of other things, shot arrows again and again, only to see fireballs exploding in the sky one by one, and the sky was full of filariasis. Yao, who was standing on the earthen altar watching archery, suddenly thought that one can't live without the sun, and quickly ordered someone to secretly draw an arrow from Yi's quiver. Finally, there is only one sun left. After shooting down nine suns, it is easy for people to get rid of many strange birds and animals. Among them, there are Yu Qiqi who eats people, teeth like chisels, hydra with fire and water, strong winds that destroy houses and make waves, snake in Dongting, and wild boar Feng. These mythical figures have become the representatives of those precious spirits, which have been passed down to this day. Such figures also constitute the system of ancient myths in China, and there are roughly the following statements about the ancient gods: Pangu: God of Creation.
