Di Jun's disappearance

Di Jun (Di Ku or Di Duan)

The myth about Emperor Jun is quite fragmentary, which is concentrated in the last five chapters of Shan Hai Jing Huang Da Jing, which is not found in other books. Di Jun has two wives, one named He, who lives in Gan Yuan and has given birth to ten suns. The other is Chang, who lives in the wilderness in the west and has twelve moons. He also had a wife named E Huang, who lived in the southern wilderness and gave birth to the ancestors of the Three Kingdoms. This ancestor has a head and three bodies, and so do the descendants handed down. Di Jun often falls from the sky, making friends with some colorful birds and dancing face to face below. The two shrines of the Emperor below are managed by these colorful birds. In the Great Northern Wilderness, the Emperor had a bamboo forest. He cut a section of bamboo and cut it open to make a boat. On the tenth day of Emperor Yao's reign, the Emperor gave Yi a red bow and a white arrow and told him to go down and save the people's sufferings. These are all fragments of the myth of the emperor. We can see the divinity of the Emperor as the Emperor of Heaven.

Due to the development and evolution of myth, Emperor Jun became two legendary emperors in the world, one was the Gaoxin family in Di Ku, and the other was Shun Di. They are all demigod heroes and have their own myths and legends handed down.

On Di Jun and His Divinity

Jin Rongquan

Xinyang normal university Chinese department

Emperor Jun is a mysterious god in ancient China mythology. His deeds have not been recorded in the official history, nor have they been passed down by other scholars. They only exist in Shan Hai Jing, especially in the two classics of Wild and Domestic. Investigating its origin and vein, it obviously does not belong to the lineage of Yandi or Huangdi, but the third lineage coexisting with the two lineages of Yanhuang. Interestingly, however, his deeds often coincide with the gods of the Yellow Emperor, and his gods are inextricably linked with the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Exploring Di Jun's deity and its pedigree is of great enlightening significance for studying the fusion process of ancient clans and nationalities in China. This paper focuses on Di Jun and his divinity. At the same time, by clarifying the relationship between the emperor and the Yellow Emperor, we can see through the integration process of myth historization to ancient myths. It can also more or less reflect the political needs of civilized times and the way of cultural psychology to transform ancient myths. 1. Di Jun's research on Di Jun's position among the ancient gods in China is controversial today. However, it is generally believed that the emperor is the ancestor of the ancient oriental nation, and this view is consistent, because most of the activities of the emperor and the countries of his descendants recorded in Shan Hai Jing are in the East. However, we often overlook that there are stories about the countries of Di Jun and his descendants in the south, north and west, such as the countries of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the land where Di Jun's wife often bathes in the bright moon is also in the west. Why did Di Jun's descendants appear in the West, and why were their deeds associated with the West? This is an interesting phenomenon worth discussing. In addition, the deeds of emperors often overlap with ancient gods, such as emperors and Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Yao and Shun. , all have the shadow of the emperor, and the reason is mainly caused by the separation and replanting of the myth of the emperor by future generations. However, the relationship between the emperor and the emperor is unusual, and it is the key to rebuild the religious system of the emperor to explore their relationship, because from various indications, it can be judged that the emperor and the emperor belong to the same religious system, and the emperor and the emperor are gods with the same name, and his son Qi is also a god with the same name, and they are all descendants of the emperor. Only by confirming this relationship can many problems about monarch, ruler and ruler in ancient mythology be reasonably explained. 1 The establishment of the homologous relationship between Di Jun and Shao Hao is not simply a matter of proving the blood relationship between Di Jun and Shao Hao. According to the records in Di Ji and Tong Zhi, the real name is Zhi, and the word Qingyang, also known as Xuantao, is the son of the Yellow Emperor. However, there is no Shao Hao lineage in The Classic of Mountains and Seas, which is actually the product of the unified concept of Han nationality since the Warring States Period. Although the post-Confucianists painstakingly constructed the God of Shao Hao, they were often unable to justify themselves and were full of loopholes. For example, "Imperial Century" and "Tongzhi" said that Shao Hao built a city in poor mulberry, both in Qufu, so Shao Hao was the ancestor of a tribe in the ancient East, and poor mulberry was in the East; However, the notes point out that Shao Hao was born in a poor mulberry, on the coast of the West Sea. He is the master of the West and the son of Bai Di, so "poor mulberry" is the land of the West. These contradictions show that when Shao Hao was classified as the lineage of the Yellow Emperor, the shadow of ancient legends was still visible from time to time. In the historical materials of later generations, the relationship between Di Jun and Shao Hao can be proved from at least three aspects: first, the book Shan Hai Jing Huang Da Nan Jing says: "Di Jun's wife E Huang; Born in this three-body country. " However, her mother is Huang E in Notes, and her mother is E in After Miracle, in which Huang E and E are actually misspelled or omitted. Secondly, Di Jun tribe and Shao Hao tribe are the same ancient tribe in eastern China with "bird" as their totem. "Shan Hai Jing Ye Dong Jing" contains: "Collect five birds, but abandon sand, but the emperor is a friend, and the emperor is under two altars. Bird set is a company. " Moral: There are two colorful birds dancing on the opposite side. They are Di Jun's friends on earth, and both of Di Jun's altars on earth are managed by them. The colorful birds here are actually the mythical "phoenix birds", which have a very close relationship with the emperor and should be worshipped by the emperor tribe. More importantly, since the Warring States period, people have called the Japanese-Chinese god bird "handsome bird", and He Xin's Origin of the Gods says that "handsome bird" is the emperor and synonymous with the sun god. The emperor's "Jun" can also be written as "Jun", which is actually the image of a bird in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Shao Hao also has an indissoluble bond with the "bird". In the second volume of Five Emperors' Spring and Autumn Annals, it is said that Shao Hao "has the honor of being a phoenix bird, so he took the bird as an official and gave it a name as his teacher. The teacher of the phoenix bird, the teacher of the mysterious bird, the teacher of Zhao Bo, the teacher of the bluebird, and the teacher of the Dan bird, together, I wish Stuart of the dove; Sima Ye, dead bird, Sikong Ye, cool bird, stork. " It's like a bird kingdom, with phoenix birds as the main part and birds as the auxiliary part, which is the same totem belief as Di Jun clan. Third, both Di Jun and Shao Hao are sun gods. According to the Wild South Classic: "xi He, the wife of the Emperor, was born for ten days." Therefore, Di Jun is undoubtedly the father of the sun and a well-deserved sun god. We can infer that these ten suns are probably the top ten clans of the emperor. As for the names of these clans, it is impossible to discuss them today because of their vast history. They combined with the clan (2) represented by December in the lineage of the monarch, and formed the monarch tribe with blood relationship. Shao Hao is also called the sun god, and the word "good" is also called "Gao Bai", which means "Daming". Originally a symbol of the sun god, it should be another great ancestor and successor of this tribe after Emperor Jun. Based on the above three points, we can basically conclude the blood relationship between Emperor Jun and Shao Hao. Di Jun and Di Ku are the same god, but they have different names. Exploring ancient myths and legends of later generations, we find that there is an amazing overlapping relationship between Di Jun and Di Ku. These superpositions are indigestible traces left by the post-Confucianists when they transformed and differentiated the myth of Emperor Jun, which can prove Di Ku's true identity and provide sufficient evidence for us to restore Di Ku's true colors. This is mainly proved from the following five points: First, the emperor's century said that Di Ku called himself "Jun" when he was born, and "Jun" and "Jun" were homonyms and similar in shape, so they were regarded as one person. Secondly, Historical Records of Hou Ji was born by the princess Jiang Nvyuan of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Wild West Mountain Sea Classic said that the emperor was born by Hou Ji, which can also prove that you are the same person. Thirdly, it is said that the ancestors of Shang Dynasty were born to Judy, the second princess of Di Ku, who swallowed the egg of a mysterious bird. The ancestor of the merchant was Wang Guowei, who believed that Jun was the most prominent of the great ancestors of Shang Dynasty, and Congratulatory Letter believed that Jun was the ancestor of the merchant. Yes, it also proves that Jun is Di Ku. Fourthly, The Classic of Mountains and Seas Huang Da Nan Jing says: "The emperor was born in season." Hao Yixing Shu Yun said: "In the eighteenth year of the article, Zuo Zhuan said that there were eight gifted scholars in the family, Li Ji, Sui and Li Sheng, which was doubtful." Hao is right, which just shows that the emperor and Qi are the same person, so their sons have the same name. Fifth, Bi Yuan's "Shan Hai Jing Xi Ye Jing" notes: "Historical records say that Di Ku married a woman and took her daughter away." "Suoyin" said: During the Zongshi period, Huangfu Mi claimed that the wife of Di Ku, whose female name was often Xi, had the same name as his wife in June. Of course, it is not accidental, and it is not surprising, because Ershen is a human being. Qi, the son of Jun and the son of Qi, are famous, and the word "Zhi" is the word "Qi" of the ancestor of Shang Dynasty. Mr. Wang Xiaodun once had a wonderful exposition on this: "Qi, the ancestor of Shang clan, is a pair of superimposed figures, and its surname was pronounced [ke ɑ t] at that time, which is the same as Qi's pronunciation. In addition, Shao Hao's "good" is translated from the word "eye dog" (xiè), which means a bird, or it can be specifically said to be a pure black bird. So the name' Shao Hao' implies a bird totem or a mysterious bird totem. " ⑤ Wang demonstrated the overlapping relationship with Qi from the perspective of philology and folklore, so that the two were combined into one. In the later generations, due to the transformation of myths by historians, Di Jun's deeds were grafted on him, so there appeared two different names, Qi Hezhi, both legendary sons. Later generations did not know that their real names were the same, so they simply divided them into two people. Therefore, in the "The Emperor's Century" series, it was born to the second princess Zhu Die, and Zhi was born to the fourth princess Chang Yi. In this way, Di Jun's wife often remarried and was brought into the family with her son, depriving Di Jun of his husband's right and patriarchy. But this clumsy approach proves the relationship between elegance, handsomeness, sincerity and loyalty. To sum up, the emperor and Di Ku in ancient mythology were originally the embodiment of one person, while Di Ku was originally differentiated from the emperor, replacing the position of the ancestor of the emperor and striding into the ranks of the ancestor of the Chinese nation. Second, a textual research on Di Jun's religious system 1 Di Jun is the father of the sun and the moon. The members of Dijun's religious system are mainly recorded in Shan Hai Jing. He has three wives: He, Chang, and. Among these three wives, the first two are greater: Di Jun's wife He was born ten days ago (Shan Hai Jing Nan Jing). A woman bathed in the moon, Di Jun's wife Chang, was born in two months out of ten months. This is the beginning of bathing (Shan Hai Jing Huang Da Xi Jing). These two great goddesses gave birth to 10 and 12. In the sense of representation, the emperor and his wives are the parents of the sun and the moon, and they are also the gods of the sun and the moon in ancient times. In the deep sense of myth, two women gave birth to two clan groups in the emperor, one worships the sun and the other worships the moon. The emperor who created civilization and his descendants are proud of his many famous descendants in the emperor. These descendants created a new era of mankind with their own intelligence and wisdom, making his tribe step by step into the barbaric era and advance towards the civilized era. The emperor was born in the tiger, born in the tiger, and Liang Yin was born in Panyu, which is the beginning of the boat. Panyu was born in Xizhong, and Xi Zhong was born in Jiguang, who began to use wood as a means of transportation (Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing). The emperor gave birth to the swallow dragon, which is a harp. The Emperor has eight sons, who started with singing and dancing (Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing). The emperor gave birth to three-body and three-body gave birth to righteousness, which means the beginning of intelligence and the beginning of people's intelligence (Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing). The emperor gave birth to a millet, and the millet dropped a hundred valleys. Xiaomi's younger brother said it was a seal from Taiwan Province, and he gave birth to an uncle. This uncle planted hundreds of grains and millet on behalf of his father, which was the first time to cultivate (Shan Hai Jing Huang Da Xi Jing). That's enough. Ships, cars, songs and dances, harps, tricks and planting, from eating to walking, from working to singing and dancing, all shine with wisdom. This shows that the tribes in Di Jun are developed and the civilization is advanced. None of these inventions was written by Di Jun, but they were all attributed to his descendants. This is completely different from the historical myth that all inventions belong to three emperors and five emperors, but it is true and credible. Unfortunately, as the God of the Emperor was split and eventually expelled from the altar, his descendants were also driven out of the cultural hall of human history, and their achievements were divided up by the gods, such as Shan Hai Jing. How could future generations know their names! The country of the descendants of the emperor, although the emperor is the ancient ancestor of the eastern tribes, his descendants have established their own countries in the east, west, north and south. Although these countries were originally clans or clan groups, there are only a handful of countries and a huge lineup in the system of God. In these countries, we can get the 10 monarch god: a country with great tolerance, a country with great tolerance for people, animals and fruits, and four kinds of birds (wild east). In one country, a white man was born, and in Di Hong, a white man was born. The white man sold his surname, ate millet and made four birds: tiger, leopard, bear and barbarian. There is a country of seclusion, the emperor gives birth to the swallow dragon, the swallow dragon gives birth to seclusion, and the four friends give birth to a man without a wife; Think of women, not husbands. Eating millet and animals is to be four birds (Wild East). There is a country with a dark pool. The emperor was born in the dark pool, and the millet eater is ginger, making four birds (wild east longitude). Di Jun's wife, E Huang, was born in this three-body country. Her surname is Yao, and she eats millet to make four birds (Wild South Classic). There are Xiangshan Mountain and Chongyang Mountain, and people eat animals. This is called Li Ji. Di Jun was born in Li Ji. Therefore, it is called Ji Li's country (Wild Southern Classic). There was a country in the Western Zhou Dynasty, whose surname was Ji, and it was cultivated by some people. It was called Shu County .. The emperor gave birth to a millet, and the millet fell into a hundred valleys. Su Di said it was India and gave birth to uncles (Wild West Sutra). There is a country with Bo 'er, whose surname is Ren, whose name is Yu, Wu and Shi Gu (Yebei Jing). There is a country with cows and plums, some people have no bones, and the son of Boer (Wild North Classic). The nine countries mentioned above, namely, Zhongrong, Bai Min, Siyou, Blackpool, Sanshen, Li Ji, Western Zhou Dynasty, Yu and Niu Li, together with Shang Dynasty, are ten countries. Among them, although the two countries did not explicitly say that you were born, Yu's tiger gave birth to the moon, and the moon gave birth to Niu Li, and the emperor gave birth to Yu's tiger, so it can be concluded that the moon and Niu Li are the countries descended from you. In these countries, except for Zhongrong and Li Ji, which are carnivores, others are labeled as "eating millet" or "eating millet". Zhong Rong, Bai Min, Four Friends, Blackpool and Three Gods are all "four birds". These four kinds of birds are tigers, leopards, bears and cockroaches. In ancient times, birds and beasts were all animals, so although they were beasts, they were still called "birds". As for the metaphorical meaning of this "four birds", we think it is the title of a branch clan composed of some members of the blood clan. Because these countries (clans) have the same homology and internal structure, each country (clan) is divided into four branches named after animals. This same clan organization can better explain that they originated from the same ancestor. Their beliefs are so similar, such as eating millet; The organizational structure is so close, even if the four birds are scattered in the four corners of the world, there is no big change, which shows that the Dijun family has a long history and close ties. This is of great reference value for discussing the social organization and social life in ancient China. This is something that Chinese descent can't have. 4 Reasons for the Migration and Dispersion of Dijun Tribe It can be seen from the mythological records that the emergence, formation and growth of Dijun Tribe are all in the East, and the country of its main descendants is also in the East, but why did it spread to all directions later? There must be major changes in this, and the biggest reason may be the war between tribes. Among the ancient tribes, which tribe can tear apart the powerful monarch tribe and be forced to emigrate on a large scale? Then the only way is to get rid of the Yan Di tribe and occupy the Huangdi tribe in the Central Plains. The initiator of this war was Zhuan Xu, the outstanding leader of the Huangdi tribe, and the victim was Shao Hao. The reason why we reason like this is not by imagination, but by traces. Shan Hai Jing Ye Dong Jing says: "Outside the East China Sea, Yamato is the country of Shao Hao. Zhuan Xu, the Confucian Emperor of Shao Hao, abandoned the piano here. " For this sudden record, we can't find out its ins and outs with the help of other mythical materials. Some existing materials that may explain them are mostly fabricated by later generations according to the attached text. The key word here is "Ru", which scholars often use as the meaning of nurturing and nurturing. Musical instrument is a toy of Shao Hao entertainment teenager Zhuan Xu. Hao Yixing said, "Confucianism means nurturing." ⑥ You Yun: "This language is Zhuan Xu, a noble Confucian emperor, who stayed here with lyres and harps as a joking tool." ⑦ In order to prove the rationality of this explanation, people often cite the Emperor Century as evidence: "Zhuan Xu was born, and Shao Hao assisted for ten years". Because Shao Hao was the son of the Yellow Emperor and Zhuan Xu was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor in history, naturally, Zhuan Xu should be Shao Hao's nephew, and Zhuan Xu should be attached to Shao Hao when he was young and help Shao Hao when he grew up. Little imagine, people forget a premise, that is, Shao Hao is not Xuantao, and certainly not the son of the Yellow Emperor, but was born among the tribes in the East, and is a descendant of the Emperor. The inclusion of Shao Hao, Qingyang and Xiao Xuan in the Shaodian clan is a masterpiece of Confucian scholars after the Warring States Period, not the true colors of original myths and legends. The word "Confucianism" here means "intimacy" rather than nurturing. In The Book of Songs Xiaoya Long Beach, it is said that "brothers are both harmonious and Confucian", and the word "Confucianism" in this sentence is synonymous with this. Through this myth, let us extend our imagination to the ancient flood era, and we can imagine the scene after the Huangdi tribe occupied the Central Plains and developed eastward, and met the original Dongdijun tribe. Perhaps at the beginning, the inheritors of Huangdi tribe and Dijun tribe had a promise of peace, one for energy conservation and the other for local security, and the two powerful tribes finally formed a temporary joint situation. Shao Hao received Zhuan Xu in the tribe, and treated Zhuan Xu with harps to show his intimacy. This is the mythical connotation of "Shao Hao's Confucianism continues". After that, the Zhuan Xu tribe marched eastward and defeated the Shao Hao tribe, so the blood relationship broke down and the friendship ceased to exist. Harp and harp being thrown into the Grand Canyon is a mythical explanation for this rupture. There is no clear record in the myth of the bloody battle history after tearing up the Covenant, but we find its shadow in the history books. There is a saying in "Under the Chu Language of Mandarin": the decline of the white high, the chaos of morality, the chaos of man and god, the wife of pleasure, the history of witchcraft and the lack of quality. The people are worshipping, but they don't know their blessings. They enjoy luxury, people and gods are together, and the alliance between the people is not strict. God is good to the people, but don't do it. If you live well, you will not degenerate and have nothing to enjoy. If you recommend disaster, don't try your best. Zhuan Xu accepted it, but ordered Nanzheng to attach importance to heaven, and ordered fire to belong to the people, so that the old days could be restored, and there would be no more violations, and it was called "the Jedi Heaven Pass". This passage is an important part of later Confucian preaching Zhuan Xu's talent and virtue. His Biography of the Jedi established the supreme position of God and found the theoretical and practical basis for the despotism of later emperors. This passage is actually a historical microcosm of the desperate struggle of the three tribes of Yan, Huang and Jun in the Central Plains, and a reflection of the important measures taken by the Huangdi tribe to consolidate its position after its victory. The "Nine Lebanon Rebellion" includes not only Di Jun tribe, but also Yan Di tribe. After Zhuan Xu drove out Emperor Yan and defeated Shao Hao, in order to rule the clan members of the original two tribes, he took tough measures, abolished the ancestors of these clans, Emperor Yan and Emperor Jun, and merged them into Shaodian tribe after transformation, completely changing the polytheism situation of "wives enjoy it" and establishing the Yellow Emperor as the only ancestor. This is the real meaning of "Jedi Tiantong". After this great change, tribes in Di Jun had to migrate on a large scale in order to survive, some stayed in the same place, while others migrated to the south, west and north respectively, thus forming a situation in which this oriental clan was scattered in all directions. On the other hand, Shao Hao brought some of his families to the West. After his death, he was honored as the God of the West. "Shan Hai Jing ·Xi· Shan Jing" says: "The mountain with a long stream lives in its god Shao Hao. Its beasts are at the end of the article, and its birds are at the beginning. It is a multi-faceted jade. In fact, the Shenshi Ghost Palace is also a god, and the main part is against the scene. " Here, the member of supernatural beings is Shao Hao, who changed from the sun god in the east to the god of sunset. Shao Hao's original residence, after he moved away, the rest of him established the State of Shao Hao. When Shao Hao moved westward, the clan brought the original oriental place names to the west, so in the legends of later generations, there were so-called names such as Fusang and Poor Mulberry in the east and west, all of which were related to the clan's great migration. 3. Differentiation and extinction of the myth of the Emperor As the founder of the ancient oriental tribes and the creator of heaven and earth worshipped by later generations, the descendants of the Emperor suffered a devastating blow from the western Shaodian tribes during the reign of their later hero Shao Hao. With the disintegration and dispersion of tribes, people after the emperor established independent clans or tribes in all directions of the world, but they could not form a powerful force. They can only live silently in remote areas far away from the Central Plains, retain their own clan beliefs, and tell the achievements of their ancestors from generation to generation. However, with the passage of time, hundreds or even thousands of years have passed, and the tide of the times has ruthlessly washed away the dam of their memory. The figure of their distant ancestors is getting farther and farther away from them, and their achievements are gradually blurred, even forgotten by those who have been assimilated by Shaodian tribe. They can only name their nearest ancestors, but they don't know where they come from. As a result, Di Jun also slowly disappeared into the dust of history. However, in spite of this, among other descendant clans in Di Jun, the name of Di Jun still lives in people's hearts. In the tribes of Di Jun, the deeds of some heroic descendants are still being told from generation to generation. Because of this, there will be relevant records in Shan Hai Jing, which appeared in the civilized era. Although these wheels of history can disturb people's thoughts, they cannot crush the lasting memory of our ancestors. The passage of time is not the main reason for the disappearance of Di Jun's myth. It is the great political and historical forces from civilized society that really divide and gradually die out the myth of the emperor. In order to make the myth meet the political needs, to construct the lineage of the Yellow Emperor which is beneficial to the rule of the Han nationality, and to find the foundation for the unified society from a historical perspective, the lineage of the Yellow Emperor cannot be established unless the myth of the emperor is eliminated. Therefore, Confucian scholars and historians of later generations have exhausted two reconstruction methods, namely, makeover and branch transplantation, trying to erase Di Jun's name from the Divine Spectrum, thus expelling him from the altar. 1 The makeover of Emperor Jun and Emperor Jun is mainly through creating Di Ku, one of the five emperors, replacing Emperor Jun with Di Ku and changing his name and surname, which is a more radical measure. The Emperor's Century said: Yes, her surname is Ji, but her mother has disappeared. Born different, claiming to be handsome. "Although this kind of unofficial history changed the emperor to Di Ku, it still retains the traces of the transformation of" claiming to be the monarch ",but it just didn't have time to compile Di Ku's genealogy. Later, after all kinds of official history and anecdotes, he established the status of "Di Ku Gao Xin, the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor". The Historical Records of the Five Emperors only says that "Gao Xin was born as a god and took his own name." The omission of the word "Jun", a subtle change, made Di Ku completely get rid of the shadow of the emperor and achieved the effect of being thoroughly remoulded. When Di Jun was born, his descendants, such as, (Zhi) and his wife (Chang), also changed slightly and moved to his name. From then on, the emperor disappeared, and Di Ku sprang up as one of the five emperors. 2. Branches and leaves grafting of the myth of emperor Di Ku, who came out late, could not fully reflect the stories and legends about emperor, and these legends and myths were full of vitality and passed down from generation to generation, so later Confucianism separated these dynamic myths and grafted them on Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Yao and Shun respectively, so that they all had the shadow of emperor. This grafting was first reflected in the transplanted myths and deeds. In the myth, the emperor's wife and emperor (or) were born on 10 or1February respectively, which is the essence of the emperor's myth. After people transformed this myth and transplanted it to the head of the Yellow Emperor, it became "When the Yellow Emperor made xi occupy the sun, Chang 'e occupied the moon". So Di Jun's second wife became the second minister in charge of the calendar under the Yellow Emperor. The myth of Hou Yi is also a wonderful content in Di Jun's myth system. "Hai Nei Jing" wrote: "The Emperor gave Yitong a bow and arrow to help the country. Going to the ground for the first time. " It can be seen that Houyi was sent by the emperor, and the work of helping the people should have been attributed to the emperor, but in Huai Nan Zi, it became "Yao Shi, 10 Sunrise". Yao ordered the extermination of insects and shooting at the sun, and transferred the virtue of loving the people to Yao. At the same time, the myth of Houyi was cut out from the myth system of the emperor. Through these grafting techniques, the basic framework of the myth system of the emperor was removed, which led to the collapse of the myth construction of the emperor. After stealing the column, Dijun's descendants and his wife were slowly transplanted out, completely eliminating Dijun's myth, so Dijun's descendants changed their names and became the son of the Yellow Emperor, Zhong Rong became the son of Zhuan Xu, Qi became his son, and Hou Ji was also occupied. Chang, a handsome wife, remarried and entered Shun's palace. When people went to the empty building, the beam collapsed and the house collapsed. The religious system of the emperor finally turned into a pile of ruins, leaving only some bricks. Today, we linger between these generous cornerstones, and through the colorful broken bricks, we want to see the ancient and simple civilization, and we are deeply touched.
